Razer, the world's leading lifestyle brand for gamers, recently announced the 'Razer Stream Controller X,' the company's latest addition to its ecosystem of professional streaming-focused products. The Stream Controller X is an alternate, more affordable version of the company's previously-released 'Stream Controller.'
The new Stream Controller X features 15 programmable LCD buttons with a minimalist design, as opposed to the six knobs, seven buttons, and 12 haptic keys on the Stream Controller. Despite the reduction, the X offers comparable convenience with full plug-and-play functionality for all major streaming platforms, such as OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and Twitch.
Additionally, while this is a streaming-focused device, there are a number of available plugins that enhance its functionality for other use cases such as video editing, content creation, or general multitasking. The full details on the Razer Stream Controller X can be viewed on the company's dedicated page for the product, linked above.
The Stream Controller X is available now at an MSRP of $149.99 USD.
