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

This controller is absolutely astounding when it comes to performance. Extremely solid build quality with the overall feel being seamless. The buttons are tactile and satisfying, almost zero delay in response time, and the wireless connectivity is flawless. The Hall effect joysticks have a very smooth feel to it and I haven’t experienced any stick drift whatsoever. The 4 back paddles are placed perfectly, and I really appreciate the two mappable buttons on top for claw grip, as I find that very comfortable to use when playing Fortnite. The mouse clicks are one of the best features on this controller as well. I love the design of it, and Razer synapse makes it easy to remap the buttons and customize dead zones and such. Very good controller!!

Bought this item last year to play a few games on steam with controller support. The controller is light, sleek, easy to hook up and use, the action in it is amazing, the battery lasts a long while, I am thoroughly pleased with this controller. In fact, I loved it so much that when my brother-in-law needed a new controller I gave him mine, and just bought another. I've used dozens of controllers over the years. My initial foray into gaming was on consoles, so I have a lot of practical experience using controllers on console and PC. The price tag made me leery initially, but it's clear as day when you start using the controller why it's priced where it is. Worth the extra expense to have a controller that will not only be reliable, but work well with almost any game you throw at 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? SmhPros: 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.

The first test for a quality controller is shaking it to see if there's anything loose or rattling. This controller passes that test. It is absolutely solid. Zero rattling. If you're a PC m/kb player, this is the perfect controller to use if you're switching to console. The buttons have that satisfying click of m/kb peripherals. It's soft but clicky. The shortened triggers feel nice in that it doesn't feel like you're hitting a plastic wall. There's a softness to the shortened triggers which is so much better than the Xbox Elite controllers. The only negatives are: the app, which makes you open it every time you want to switch to a saved profile. The other negative is the back paddle buttons could have be made so that there is slightly more separation between them. Your pinky and ring fingers will feel mashed together. Overall, I would definitely recommend this, especially if you're a PC gamer.
