Razerhas accessories for almost everything on the gaming market, but there was one segment they had never entered. Say hello to the Razer Kitsune, a brand new fighting game controller that looks like it may well replace the traditional fight sticks that have been a mainstay of this community for years.

The new Razer Kitsune brings many great features for fighting game enthusiasts and almost makes traditional fighting sticks obsolete, and it’s now available.

TheRazer Kitsuneis an all-button contraption that uses Razer’s optical switches for lightning-fast responsiveness and helps to eliminate those errors. They describe it as “the perfect competitive fighting companion.” Many probably wonder why Razer omitted a stick and went with an all-button setup. According to them, it allows for faster and more accurate execution, which results in a reduction in mistakes.

So, what other features does the Kitsune bring to the table to give you that fighting edge?

Razer says the Kitsune is designed to be so thin so it makes it easier to take the controller anywhere you go, from pro events to tournaments and even just for a casual play around your friend’s house. The cable and button lock features are really beneficial to pro players, and you can’t beat a bit of Chroma RGB.

Razer will soon release Cammy and Chun Li versions of the Kitsune. However, soon, you will be able to download the template for the faceplate and add your own designs, which I think is a cool feature to have, as there’s nothing better than personalizing a piece of kit like this.

The Razer Kitsune isavailable now for $299.99for use on PC and PS5.
