Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Wired Gaming Pro Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC: RGB Lighting – Remappable Buttons & Triggers – Mecha-Tactile Buttons & D-Pad – Trigger Stop-Switches – Black

I’ve been using this controller for 4 months now with many hours (well over 100 and probably over 200) so I figure I can write a review.I had my Elite Series 1 controller finally effectively die on me in the summer after many years of wonderful use. Really liked that controller. I would have replaced it with the Series 2 but the numerous reviews and comments about issues with sticking buttons and other problems ever since it came out made me say “nope!” given how much it costs. I decided on this one mainly because it was on sale for $130 at the time I ordered it.I thought being wired would bug me but I actually prefer it in some ways and I sit close enough to my computer where the cord isn’t a problem. The only real issue I could see with this would be if the USB C plug wore out or got damaged to where the connection would be too loose yet it seems like it’ll last for a while and won’t get damaged.The controller plastic feels good and while the controller doesn’t have any super grippy texture to it, its texture it does have doesn’t feel slippery. The entire thing definitely doesn’t feel cheap, even if it may not feel as high end as a more expensive controller.In terms of the thumbsticks, they have been problem free and they have a bit more tension than the Series 1 sticks had. No complaints so far with these. Would it have been nice if they had a tension adjustment like the Series 2 supposedly has? Sure, yet the tension they come with works well for me and I prefer it to the looser style the Series 1 sticks had. I use the default tops rather than the optional tops you get in the box.The buttons feel nice as they are clicky and I really really like the two added buttons at the top near the triggers and bumpers. I don’t like the placement of the bumpers vs the triggers so I use these two added buttons mapped as the bumpers which is nice and it’s easy to hit them as I barely have to move my fingers off the triggers. Wonderful placement. The triggers have the hair trigger switch on the back which cuts out some travel but it’s not a super amount (feels like at most 50%) so anyone that requires the most minimal movement would probably want to look elsewhere. I do not play shooters so this is fine for me.After using the Series 1, I came to the conclusion I never want to use another controller without back paddles/buttons and while I like there being paddle buttons at the back of this, I do not like their placement. It just feels awkward vs where they are with the Elite Series. I don’t know why they would position them in the middle like that instead of near the grips where your fingers would naturally rest. This is my main complaint with the controller.Another placement I don’t like would be the start and menu/back buttons. They shouldn’t be high up and on an angle like how they are, especially the back button which is awkward to hit with the left thumbstick in the way. In the one game I play which uses that button for a map, I actually remapped it to one of the back paddle buttons.I also don’t like the d-pad design and wish it was just a regular 4 bar type thing instead of this circle style design. I don’t use the d-pad much so it’s not a huge issue or dealbreaker yet something I wish was different.The software you use for the controller seems fine to me. I was able to easily remap certain buttons and can easily store different profiles. I don’t have an interest with the lighting the controller has so I turned that off.The rumble is definitely better than it was with my Series 1 controller. No idea how it compares to other controllers yet this seems to be good and better than I was expecting.Many reviews that I read before ordering complained about the controller size saying it was too big. I have what I figure are average sized hands for a 6 foot adult male and I don’t find the controller too big. It is definitely a bit larger and chunkier than the Series 1 but not to the point it isn’t comfortable to hold or difficult to reach the buttons. I will say it felt a bit weird at first with how the grips are shaped when it arrived but I got used to it after a few hours. Have definitely not had any hand fatigue, cramping, or other issues like that and I’ve had numerous days where I was playing for 5+ hours straight. I also have a jacked up right wrist with some carpal tunnel that can flare up and this controller has not given me any discomfort there. I saw one review of a guy claiming he has huge hands/fingers and implied reaching the back paddles is tough for him and all us mere mortals with averaged sized hands would have a problem. Well, either that guy doesn’t have the Shaq sized hands he thinks he does or my hands and fingers are longer than I think because the paddle buttons are not difficult at all to reach. Their positioning is again, a bit awkward feeling but not hard to reach.Overall, this is a solid controller and I think a good deal for the sale price of $130 considering the competition. At the regular price of $190, I think it may still be an alright option yet I would say anyone looking to buy should wait for it to go on sale again. It’s hard to get around the idea of paying $200+ after tax for a game controller.

. This controller is probably one of the best I’ve had over the years, but they missed an opportunity to make it one of the best ones in the market overall.Sticks are not hall-effect joysticks so you’ll get drift eventually.The software helps, but even now it detects a very minuscule deviation albeit at below the .0 range, at the lowest deadzone setting already.For comparison, I have an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth with hall-effect sticks and those report zero deviation even below the .0 range.The extra buttons feel great and have good location.The back pedal-buttons need some getting used to, but they’re not that bad and my fingers stop right on top of them.I’ve had more trouble with accidental presses on other styles of back buttons.8-way D-pad may be a hit or miss for the user, but I like it enough despite hating 8-way d-pads due to past experiences with them. This is the best one I’ve tried so far.Trigger-stops are smooth, and I must say they feel good.Other controllers I’ve tried felt like they would break eventually, because the stopper mechanism feels more like something is just blocking the trigger part-way, leading to a “crunch”.These on the other hand, feel like the “bottom” of the triggers just become shallower with nothing blocking the trigger on the way. I don’t know how they did that, but this is way better.You have no manual way to map the extra buttons and have to go through the software, even if just to switch profiles. This is one of this controller’s cons.Razer advertises this as a tournament-ready controller so the software only allows you to assign single, specific, buttons onto the extra buttons. IMO this is an unfortunate mistake. If tournaments wanted to prevent players from cheating with macros, they should just do proper pre-fight checking of equipment and software. Pretty sure they already do that too, so there’s really no reason for this excuse.All these extra buttons would have been great if you could save macros on the buttons and profiles per game. Would be great if it had on-board memory and manual assignment too. Many players would probably benefit from this. They didn’t do this for this controller so it’s lost some points on that regard.Last but not the least, the plastic kind of feels cheap. It’s the same Razer-brand plastic that they use on their mice, and even has some rubbery grip-like portions, but I feel like the Gameboy-ish type of plastic used on 8bitdo’s controllers are better to the touch. Razer plastic likes to absorb skin oil over time.Overall, a great product but still with flaws. They could’ve gone with the full mile of stuff I mentioned above for this price, but these companies seem to design products with intentional flaws so as not to steal the market share of other products within their line with a “perfect” product that has all the bells and whistles and nothing to complain about (except the price). I would probably not find a controller that can replace this one, with all the same features, but from a different brand for a long time. Durability is going to be a test of time matter so I won’t speak about it.

Lo encontré a un buen precio y debo decir que es muy buen mando, la calidad de los materiales, los acabados y estéticamente es bonito, también el feeling de los botones mecánicos es diferente a lo que se acostumbra con los botones de membrana, muy buen mando

. Love the controller, feel, the buttons that clickl like a mouse which I love. The Wolverine V2/V2/Chroma are my favorite controllers by a mile (haven’t tried scuff instinct pro yet but not spending $250 a year after it wears out) but just be carefulful when you get it to determine both sticks aren’t defective. I’ve had 3 of these including one sent back. Noticed the right stick seemed to be moving despite not touching it. Opened up the Xbox accessory app to look at stick sensitivity and it showed clearly it was faulty and jumping around while the other stick was like the others on my other 2 V2 Chroma and 2 Wolverine V2 non-chroma. The quality otherwise is excellent although after heavy use a buttoned will eventually wear and get stuck around the 9-12 month mark of heavy use. If you can get the controller around the $80-90 range or less go for it. If it does come defective they’ll replace it with one quickly (for an online only store anyway(

The media could not be loaded.  Los joysticks son muy fáciles de mover. Los botones y la cruceta se hunden poco, lo cual mejora mucho el tiempo de respuesta de los clicks, además de que suenan muy bien. No utilizo mucho los botones adicionales, pero el botón de circulo que está sobre el botón de captur a, es muy útil en multijugador. Es bueno que se puedan configurar la profundidad de los gatillos dependiendo de tu necesidad dentro del juego. El grip trasero y el tamaño del control son muy cómodos (Ligeramente más largo que el control original de series X|S) Lo recomiendo completamente
