About this deal

The Wolverine Ultimate is Razer’s stab at creating a pro-level Xbox One-style controller for eSports and hardcore competitive gamers. No, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma does not support wireless connectivity. It can only be connected to devices using a wired USB connection. Bumpers and Triggers are ergonomic and easier to use than standard Xbox controllers, and the grip is good because Razer used a matte paint. That said, I want to point out that while the old Xbox controllers were quite reliable in the long run (my 360 and Xbox One controllers lasted for almost 5 years each), these new ones seem to have a worse build quality. Now you can remap buttons, cycle profiles and do just about everything else that could more easily be accomplished on the controller’s media keys, but on a TV connected to your Xbox. We liked

Maximize your unfair advantage with Razer Synapse 3, the unified cloud-based hardware configuration tool that takes your Razer devices to the next level. Get access to advanced options and granular control as you rebind buttons, assign macros, personalize device lighting andmore. The controller has an integrated battery, which is a nice addition, but I am afraid that it will start lasting fewer hours over time as it can’t be changed. The Razer Synapse software also lets you assign and store profiles to the controller for your favorite games, something that PC gamers are used to with high-end gaming mice. Razer Wolverine Ultimate – pricey, but worth it (for some) Note: this controller is very similar to the Razer Wolverine Ultimate Edition, so I will often compare them. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. Read our editorial mission & see how we test.The face buttons have a reduced actuation distance of 0.65mm, which is 35% less than that of the average membrane controller. This results in an actuation time of approximately10ms. The Wolverine can be programmed in part using its physical controls, but to get the most out of it you’ll have to use Razer’s Synapse software. Synapse is available on PC and Xbox One, and offers a pretty much identical set of features on both platforms – although the PC version has a slightly more intuitive UI. Razer provides two swappable D-pads, however, they are both average. The Tournament Edition has a way better one. Depending on the model of the Razer controller you have, the switch might be located somewhere else. You'll need to refer to the Razer's instruction manual for more details. Your Razer controller might not have a Bluetooth function and may only be able to connect with a USB cable.

The Razer Wolverine V2 has rounded bumper grips while the other two controllers are slightly sharper (though still blunt enough to be comfortable for your palm). The Razer Wolverine V2 has 2 remappable multi-function buttons, while the TE has 4 multi-function buttons, and the Ultimate has 4 multi-function triggers. There is a design flaw due to which you can’t press the Bumper and Trigger at the same time, or they will grind against each other.

That said, considering all the controllers have issues nowadays, the Thrustmaster ESWAP X PRO looks like a potential choice because of its solid build, so I suggest giving it a try if you are looking for something different from the usual. The idea is good, and it looks like the overall build quality of the controller isn’t bad either, but I read about people forced to disconnect and reconnect a part once in a while otherwise it would stop working properly.

Putting aside cable issues I often preferred the Razer Wolverine Ultimate to the Xbox Elite if only for some of the minor improvements like a lighter feel and those extra buttons. Whether the Wolverine Ultimate is worth it for you comes down to your wallet, needs, and expectations, but overall Razer has created a fine – and in some ways better – alternative to Microsoft's high-end Xbox controller and that's not bad at all.

You can customize the Wolverine Ultimate through the Razer Wolverine for Xbox app on the Xbox One or Windows 10. Yes, the Windows 10 version of the app is called Razer Wolverine for Xbox. Curiously, the gamepad can't be directly programmed through the Razer Synapse software on PC, even though that software is used to customize nearly every other Razer peripheral you connect to your computer. This means that, while the Wolverine Ultimate's lighting is technically Razer Chroma, you can't directly sync it to your Razer headset, keyboard, or mouse through Razer Synapse, and have to manually control how its colors change. Its wireless incompatibility. This controller isn’t built for casual gamers, nor is it really designed for the hardcore crowd should they ever find themselves playing anything other than competitive multiplayer games. Final verdictSeize the unfair advantage with both hands with the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro—a high-performance wireless controller officially licensed by PlayStation™. Armed with Razer™ HyperSpeed Wireless and a loadout of next-gen features for top-tier competitive play, the time has come to claim your rule on PS5™ andPC. Hit the big league with a wired gaming controller designed for the Xbox Series X|S consoles. With advanced customizability for greater precision and control over your game, the Razer Wolverine V2 lets you dominate the competition from the comfort of your couch.
