Razer Wolverine V2 – Wired Gaming Controller for Xbox Series

Not sure why some others find this controller to be anything other than excellent. Build is great and it functions perfectly. Maybe a tad pricey but look around, even the most basic Xbox branded controllers are in the 70+ range.

For the longest time, I have been using the xbox elite controller V1. However I tire of the batteries depleting mid fight. As i sit in front of my PC it seemed pointless to have a wireless controller. The microswitch buttons are what make this special. Every button has a positive and instantaneous feel to it. The trigger throw can be shortened much like the elite. One minor downside is that the white LED is faaaaar too bright for a darkened room. I have stuck some blacktack over it. Problem solved. At about 60 quid this was a bargain vs elite controller @ 150.

I have used Razer controllers for the past three years I normally buy 1 new one every year and they get heavy usage and always perform unlike when I have to buy on average three controllers of other types to cover the same period of time before they start to fail.

Good controller plays well have good response no controller drift but it feels bad to hold it’s given me bad wrists and thumbs playing with it but it is such a good control shame about the ergonomics of back button placements

The best controller I have ever used, every button feels like your using proper tactile switches like cherries on keyboard but instead it’s on the controller. The grip is perfect and shape is perfect. Works flawless in games 10/10 was worth it over the default controller. Even small details like the thumb sticks have grippier and higher quality design and material. Feels sturdy too doesn’t feel cheap at all anywhere.

In the past, I always bought only original xbox controllers. In all of them, without exceptions, the usb port got damaged and stopped working after a few months of use. Yes, you can still use them “wireless(ish)”, but you will have a significant lag. So, in the end, tired of wasting money on controllers with a doomed usb port, after having tried a couple of cheaper, poor “wired” options and having sent them straight back, I decided to try this one. And finally, I am perfectly happy. It feels like an original xbox controller, but it is much better, because it is wired (the cable cannot be detached, which is good), which means that I do not have to worry about the tiny teeth of the usb port getting damaged, since there aren’t any.
It comes in a posh packaging and has got a long cable.

This is my 3rd controller after starting gaming (ESO) at 59yrs old, (2yrs PS1&2 in my 30’s). 1st-Logitech, upgraded to MS due to re overwhelming reviews and after returning 2 controllers due to faults I saw a review of this. It’s a sensational improvement on previous ones and superbly designed & built. Seriously, I can genuinely state that since connecting this controller my gaming improved, my characters died less and took longer to die, less lag, i.e. reaction times were faster from trigger/button activation to screen impact, and it’s easier to use, better grip with convenient button layout. This is the most comprehensive review I’ve ever written but I felt compelled to share the details because the product warrants it. Don’t even think about a wire as being less convenient than wireless, I no longer have to repeatedly charge batteries and it’s always on. Unless the MS Elite is a fundamentally better device I can’t see me changing this or looking beyond the Razer brand.
