Razer Kitsune Worth it in 2025??? The Razer Kitsune in 2025 was on sale a couple of weeks ago for $199 and if you were lucky enough to get one with the Red optical switches (that will need to be replaced with the black optical switches in my opinion immediately) and being PS5 / PC compatible out the box. Was a pretty good deal compared to the original price of $299.
But… the competition has heated up so much since it’s initial release. You have the compact version of the Kitsune, the SpeedyLabs LightFox. The alternative version of the Kitsune with Kailh low profile switches like the shadow hunting switches the Haute42 Cosmox Gaming M12 / M16 PLUS not Ultra. And the wireless version the 8BitDo Wireless leverless with the loud tactile clicky switches removed immediately after purchase for the Lofree Spector or Kailh Ice Cream (not Taro) switches or etc…
It is a hard question to answer…. It is still a great pad from my experience so far no issues plays great but… At $299 stock compared to other things on the market including adapters… It might be a tough sell…
If you like optical switches pick it up or the SpeedyLabs LightFox (the 2 optical pads I own and have experience with). Or if you like the brand and the controller layout large buttons and 1 extra large button, pick it up. But definitely go to your locals and do your homework to consider other options before you finalize your decision. You wont be upset if you buy this but you may be able to save picking up something else as well, way your options and do what feels best to you.
Again with all pads there is no best controller or switches. Finds what works best for you and your hands and your play style and switches that feel the way your hands like and go out and win.
If your on the fence here’s a video to help you with comparisons and shows how to change your switches. Hope this helps anyone interested or on the fence with this pad make the best decision for them.
Thanks
