Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless Gaming Controller: Licensed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PC - 6 Remappable Buttons - Fast Triggers - Customizable Thumbsticks - Wired Tournament Mode - White

I own most of the Razer controllers that they've released (pictured are just some that aren't in storage) so I'm what you may call an expert and also bad with money. Razer controllers prior have all had some issues to put it lightly, or in the case of the Raiju's so much so that the lineup is now effectively dead in favor of the Wolverine. The Wolverine v3 Pro feels like a true culmination of all the past controller issues and questionable design decisions being ironed out. I will list my own personal highlights compared to previous offerings as I do not see any of the "tech reviewers" mentioning them. + Tension on thumb sticks and full pull on triggers nearly identical to stock Xbox, stick tension slightly tighter from what I can tell and it feels amazing compared to how loose the tension on every Razer controllers has been prior + Thumbstick material and texture provides actual grip, previous controllers were slip city + ACTUALLY GOOD AND ERGONOMIC BACK BUTTONS OH MY GOD HOW I'VE LONGED FOR THIS + Face buttons have been changed for the better, sound and feel is still clicky like Razer is known for but much more muted, and in general they've felt less fatiguing to use + M1 and M2 switches changed to be same as bumper, previously they were not and had slightly different feeling actuation force needed so if you tested your fingers on the extra buttons you may have accidentally triggered them due to the lesser force needed + Actually good trigger stops bravo 👏 + Wireless that works without issue!!! On a Razer controller no less wow! + Good polling rates??? 250hz 2.4 wireless polling rate on Xbox is double than the standard and elite controller offerings from Xbox, finally a pro controller from Razer that actually lives up to the pro name. With up to 1000hz wired on PC Razer has finally caught up to current year and as a result this is their most responsive feeling controller ever. + Razer actually priced it fairly for a wireless pro controller, remembered to include a carrying case this time, and included a 10ft cable for wired. Immaculate W + Hall effect sticks in a big name pro controller, to see Razer adopt this before Microsoft and Sony absolutely blows my mind, they actually did it. Bravo. If you play on Xbox and PC it's a no brainer. While they could certainly do more in offering a wider variety of stick options, let alone the means of easily obtaining more which historically they've never done outside of ordering a "replacement set" at absurd prices from their parts store, I'm just in awe that Razer actually knocked it out of the park for once. Honestly I'm just in shock they actually priced it at $200, I feel like I actually got what I paid for so the finance team must be on vacation or something.

I've been using one of these controllers for a year. You'll never be able to go back to normal controllers once you've experienced TMR. It's a great controller with a couple of problems. I love the TMR sticks I love the way all the buttons feel mechanical buttons are supreme. The internals hold up very well. Now for the flaws they are as follows. It's got a poor build quality on the outside if you buy razr products you know what I mean. The d-pad is awful it needs to be looser and at the same time still push all the buttons it does not seem to register inputs after a while as well. It feels mostly it would seem due to how mechanically bound the d-pad is. It likes to disconnect around other wireless controllers as well not the stock Xbox one but other wireless controllers like it it will fight with over the signal. Basically all in all if you're here looking for something that's very very good and a definite upgrade over the elite 2 this is it.

Ok, Out of the box I immediately set deadzones to zero. Upon checking found there is an inherent centering issue that causes heavy drift reading with no way to recalibrate. Pros: Feel of buttons are great, tactile, responsive, good placement. The “feel” of the controller is one of the bests. The trigger locks to enable a mouse click tactile pull is satisfying to say the least. All these features are great enough for me to over look other features not given at this price range ie - tension adjustment, full button mapping, lackluster app interface, polling rate to name a few. Major con: However, having out of box centering issues this high is just kind of a hard one to look over. All HE sticks do have centering performance concerns. I just wish this would center closer to 0,0 (I know it’s impossible to get true 0,0 reading). But no matter what I do, direction I flick it, it re-centers back to these values. I’d have to widen the dead zones, sacrificing a substantial amount responsiveness which defeats the purpose of buying a performance controller. Maybe I’ll try to exchange and hope I get something better, but if it’s worse, it’s a full refund. Will update review if I do. But not to hopeful as more research, this is a more common than a one off situation. UPDATE: GOT A NEW REPLACEMENT (3.5-3.9 Stars max) Firmware updater released on PC. But now can be updated on Xbox App however the app sucks. (Edit 2025 new update no longer supports Xbox app firmware update must use pc anpp again..wtf tired of this company) Upon launching app a progress bar starts loading a percentage w/ the message do not unplug. No indication it’s updating. Apparently it did. But while I couldn’t verify if it’s the latest firmware. I already lost confidence in the software(& probably the Razer brand too) and updated through PC anyway. Major gripe about the PC updater: it doesn’t confirm if you already have the latest firmware. It just flashes and installs… is this freeware from github or a hardware gaming company w a $200 controller? Smh Pros: quality weight and feel, rgb(if you even care for this?), tactile mouse click triggers, a really decent clicky gated d-pad (better than most), a lot of extra decently placed buttons that feel good, adjustable haptic, multiple profile config saves, easy quick instant button mapping. Carrying case. Cons: app, firmware update required, updated app didn’t include a calibration option, Outdated 2020 Hall Effect tech used in 2024 when newer VRS is more economical, durable, accurate, and energy efficient. No adjustable tension for a $200 price tag. Only two extra plastic thumb sticks, why not just throw in two identical pairs? They’re plastic anyways. You still need a dongle. Face buttons could feel “mushy” to some, And I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s Bluetooth as they advertise. Size, if only it was a couple centimeters larger it would probably rest perfectly in most hands. It’s not switch pro small but with back paddle placement it can be noticeable. Biggest con. Razer as a company is incompetent. Do not buy if you do not have a windows pc. Razer is company who creates an Xbox controller with an Xbox app, but does not push firmware updates through the Xbox. You have to download a separate software on a PC then update firmware through there cuz if you don’t, it won’t allow you to use the Xbox app! This is after a year of use, and while hardware is ok, I’ve grown more tired with this company as it’s a controller with inconveniences that start to pile up which is no excuse at this price range. Save your money.

Overall controller was wonderful to use, I came from having jsed multiple of the older and newer model of the xbox elite controllers. While this controller is lighter and does not feel as premium as the metal on the elite controllers, the actual feel of usage is more premium, have had no buttons, triggers, bumpers, or joysticks malfunction or develop drift since ive had this controller, and have used it almost everyday. All of the buttons have a wonderful click to them that you might expect with a more expensive controller and the extra joysticks you can swap out hold very well snd do not come loose. The paddles on the back can ONLY be used in place of other buttons on the controller, and do not work as an entirely new input, but they do allow for a more comfortable playstyle all round still. The battery life was equal to that of the elite controller or better, but I did not get to enjoy this for long as this controller connect via a small plastic dongle you plug into a usb slot on your xbox. I had a small accident and the dongle broke like it was a cheap toy, and is unable to be replaced. I have been using this controller wired since that time due to this, and have heard nothing back from Razer support about it despite putting in tickets about it. Still highly recommend the controller but be very careful with the dongle.

At this point so many “used-like new” items I’ve received are either damaged, missing components, or just obviously heavily used that I’m now done purchasing used items in the hope to save a few dollars just to have a falsely rated and falsely advertised broken item. I’m tired of contacting customer support. The controller itself is wonderful and a great design. It feels solid like the materials were not entirely skimped out on. The button actuations for clicks or voltage sensors feel so smooth. I couldn’t tell you about the wireless features as the “used-like new” controller I ordered did not have all the parts with it including the wireless dongle that is required to pair. I couldn’t tell you about the carrying case as the “used-like new” controller with case and wireless dongle that I ordered didn’t come with it. I’ll give the controller itself 5/5 stars because I can’t lie about the quality and the design especially for pc functions, but the seller that sent me a “used-like new” damaged box that had the previous consumers tomato sauce on the box, a small what appears to be a gnawing mark from an animal in the controller analog stick, and sweaty dead skin cells packed into the “like-new” controllers analog sticks, mouse pad buttons, A button, and entire under side cracks of the controller, can get a what should be a 0/5 because it’s blatant false advertising in order to repurpose what was clearly not “like-new”. Paid 95$ dollars for the like new when it really could’ve been a lower rating and sold for more like 70$ or even less due to missing components.

Edit: Wolverine v3 pro support has been added to Synapse 4 with huge updates. The additional buttons are now fully mappable to keyboard keys! An actual game changer since Steam can be fiddly with third party controllers. They also added options for digital trigger zones and dead zone tweaks. If these features are important to you, it's great to have native support. This version of the controller completely earns its V3 status. I skipped V2, but this is a significant upgrade from the V1. If you're a fan of the V1 and even on the fence, then look no further. This has every single quality of life feature that I wanted from the V1. They relocated the paddles to the standard location behind the grips. Wireless connectivity is seamless with the dongle and they finally included a case in the box. Triggers and buttons are ultra responsive and feel like mechanical mouse clicks. The trigger stops have a much tighter stopping point and also have the mechanical feel when they are engaged. I can only speak for my small hands, but it feels comfortable to use. The build quality is also great. I've had no issues with deadzone or stick drift, though, only time will tell the whole story there. The main reason I kept going back to the V1 was due to the additional shoulder buttons in between the bumpers and triggers. These extra buttons make a huge difference and are the biggest reason why I would recommend this controller over competitors even at this price point. It's a feature that should be standard with all controllers frankly. The PC software is functional, but barebones. Very strange that you even need additional software and there is no integration with Synapse, but it's not the biggest deal. If you're in the market for a controller and you've got some expendable income, this is the one.

Let me start off by saying that the feel of the controller is solid. It's comfortable in the hand is ergonomically friendly. When calibrating the controller you can set up the dead zones for the left and right. Thumbsticks, with the thumbstick dead zone set to zero, I can definitely say that they are very sensitive. My best recommendation to save your thumbstick dead zones to about 3 to default which is five. The fit and finish the quality the way it feels in your hands. You can tell that this is a premium product. With stick drift, I have yet to experience any type of stick drift. It is a hall effect dumpstick setup so I'm not expecting any type of stick drift in the near future. But if that does occur then I will update my review. Another big plus from this controller is that you can unlock the 1000 HZ pulling rate for this controller which gives you zero input Lag from Scope to shot is instant. And how can I forget about the tactile buttons nothing's more satisfying than hearing the click. Click click from your buttons. Customizing the rear buttons as well and hearing those clicks from the rear buttons. It's definitely a satisfying sound. The only downside I would say is that it takes forever to boot up the system from the Xbox button on the controller. You have to press and hold for about 2, maybe 3 seconds and then the system will turn on. Other than that, that's my only downside about this controller.

So, I got this controller as a recommended alternative to an Xbox Pro II controller. I own 2 of the Xbox Pro II controllers, but after a year, at least one control input started experiencing problems or lost all function entirely. So, my buddy recommended this, saying it was amazing. So, I figured "why not and purchased it. Being the same price as the other two controllers, I expected something special that was going to be backed up by quality as opposed to a name brand. Then, I finally got it, connected it to my computer, and played with it the first time. Immediately, the first thought that came to mind was: "I paid $200 for this?" The one thing I noticed when I first used my Xbox Pro II controller was it felt substantial. It felt good, like I was holding a piece of equipment that matched the price. It had comfortable rubber hand grips; smooth buttons made from steel, not cheap plastic; and came with a dedicated charging platform that I could simply set the controler on when I was done if I didn't feel like plugging it in. It was exactly what I'd hoped for from a $200 dollar controller. This one though: full plastic body, plastic buttons, your only option is to plug it in to charge, and it literally feels like it's hollow. Now, I know that first impressions aren't everything, so how does it compare as far as features? Unfortunately, Xbox wins again. The Xbox Pro II has a wide range of customizability. You can purchase a number of accessories for it: from full keyboards, to custom control sticks, to different back-button paddles. The Wolverine V3, you have none. The Pro II allows you to switch between three different toggleable trigger sensitivies. This one only has two. The Pro II allows you to pre-load and switch between up to three customizable controller profiles with a dedicated button on the controller. You can then switch these three out with an unlimited number of other custom profiles in the Xbox accessories app, which even allows you to customize the led color of the center Xbox logo button between each profile. The Razer Wolverine V3 only has 1 pre-loaded profile that you can switch out with their own similar app. The only thing the Wolverine V3 has that the Pro II doesn't is two additional bumper buttons (I mean, these are nice, I'll give it that). Now what about performance? Well, the buttons on the Wolverine V3 feel like I'm clicking a mouse each time I use them. The Pro II buttons feel smooth and deliberate, while this one is just clicky. One of the things I didn't know I'd miss from the Pro II until it was gone was my ability to fidget with the paddle back-buttons which had an organic feel. The Wolverine V3 just feels like the plastic buttons on the remote control for my Amazon Fire Stick (the hard kind, not the soft kind). And, I'm going to say it, the responsiveness of the V3 is good until it's not. Seriously, I've had issues where it seems the V3 loses its connection to its wireless usb stick (essentially bad controller lag). I never had anything like this happen with the Xbox Pro II. When it works, the Wolverine V3 works, but even then, it doesn't feel any more or less responsive than the Pro II. Overall, for the price point, I'm disappointed. It really frustrates me that the Xbox Pro II controller has the issues it does with its buttons ceasing functionality. However, the only thing the Wolverine V3 has made me do is realize just how much better the Pro II is. Even if the buttons stop working, I can always get them repaired. If the V3 never has this same problem, great. However, I cannot honestly recommend this controller at its current price. If it was $100, I would be giving it a glowing review as a cheaper alternative. However, it's not cheaper, it just feels cheaper. Which is why I wouldn't recommend it.

Un control de maxima calidad, a comparacion del elite, es un control preciso y con su estuche es muy practico para transportar su cable trenzado de buena calidad y si gatillos cortos con respuesta excelente

Its a really nice controller. It fit really well and all additional button are amazing. All clicky like mouse and ultra reactif

Bought as a gift and they were astounded with the overall depth of customization with this controller. Top tier build quality and highly tactile buttons, bumpers, and triggers. Floating d-pad was a first time experience and feels much smoother than traditional buttons. Mappable buttons with the ability to save multiple profiles to use for different games/genres. Amazing product!

Controle premium, bonito. Acabamento, performance e recursos. Produto caro, mas entrega o que é esperado.

Great
