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

TL;DR: Great controller, super comfy for someone with big hands. Some very minor annoyances, but a big improvement from the V1 that takes a bit to get used to. - Controller is fantastic out of the box. Has all the features the V1 did except the media control at the bottom of the controller. Some major gripes I have coming from the V1 to this controller; 1. Lack of RGB control & software compatibility. The V1 didn't have either, but it would have been nice to see it implemented into the newer model. This means the colors around the controller are stuck on changing rainbow colors, and cannot be turned off or set to a single static color. 2. Button placement... As someone who uses both the menu buttons adjacent the home button quite often, the left menu button is positioned directly in front of the left joystick making it a massive pain to reach your thumb over all the time. I genuinely can't see any reason it couldn't remain in its original spot similar to the V1, but all the other buttons are perfectly fine. 3. The port for the wire has a sizeable gap beneath it, giving the USB-C a bit too much leeway and thus being fairly loose. Have yet to encounter any actual issues with it (hasn't come unplugged, etc.) All round great controller, but if you're coming from the V1 expecting 'new and improved', it's more of a 'different but better' kind of experience. The mech switches for the AXBY buttons have squish now, which took a ton of getting used to compared to the clicky V1 switches. After using both for some time, though, I can say I do actually prefer the V2 squishy switches. As I don't use the additional buttons at all I can't speak to their performance or placement much, though I did think the bottom buttons were a bit hard to reach.

Quite honestly, this controller is better than any of my xbox elite controllers. I don’t use the extra buttons at all. But the stick sensitivity is perfect right out of the box- which is good because I can’t figure out how to customize sensitivity settings for xbox one s. Only beefs I have at all is that it’s exclusively wired. Even so, without any legit aim customization, it’s still the best fps controller I’ve ever owned by a wide mile. Idk why. Perhaps the ergonomics? But it feels great and works far better than expected. Totally worth being stuck with wired connection. And I’ve spent thousands of dollars on controllers over the years, fyi. NEVER buy the generic 75$ ones- they break down almost instantly. The elite ones work and are sturdy for a month or so. But even after full refurbishment, they don’t perform as well as this one does. STG -update two months post purchase- stick drift- the bane of any gamer’s gaming life- so must return rrr - Updated 1/9/24- customer service was amazing and attentive at replacing my faulty original controller. The new one I received, literally within a week of submitting my claim (though a process but more than acceptable) has never faltered at any point- although it’s been dropped a few times. My definite go to. Xbox elites remain in their cases. This has been a very steady and reliable controller I’ve ever owned. I’m Razer for life. Why I Must update my review to 5 stars. Excellent hardware. Superb customer service. I can’t possibly say enough good things about the company at this point. Trust. You will not regret it.

This is the best feeling, most ergonomic controller of all time. The overall handling is reminiscent of an Xbox 360 controller, which felt really good. The handles have a rubber coating which feels great. I like the overall size and am partial to bigger controllers. The thumbsticks have a nice comfortable rubber coating that isn’t too sticky or too hard. The D Pad is large and has a really nice click when pressed. Although it’s a hard plastic and it’s concave at the same time so it doesn’t feel good to use the middle part of your thumb for the left and down side of the D Pad. You have to get used to using the tip of your thumb for everything. If Razer would’ve coated the D Pad in rubber this wouldn’t have been an issue. The lightning is really nice and bounces off your hands creating a nice glow. The controller is light because there’s no battery so it’s easy to hold. The back paddles are great because you can lay the controller on your leg and they won’t be pressed. You don’t have to treat this thing like an egg, always worrying where you’re going to set this down so the paddles don’t get pressed, like another big name controller. The USB-C port is really wobbly, however. You need to find a light USB-C cable that carries both data and power. Most light cables only carry power. The cable it comes with is a little heavy but it has a large head at the USB-C tip so it won’t wobble. Any other cable will wobble like crazy. I’m thinking the cable for the Elite 2 would work best because it’s light and Carrie’s data but I can’t find mine. Right now I’m using the default cable and it’s working fine. I predict this won’t last long though because the USB-C port itself is so wobbly for the actual USB-C part. I’m not returning this though because the controller itself is the most comfortable controller I ever held. There’s always a catch with Razer and that comes with the territory. The vibration is pretty good but nothing crazy like the DualSense. I got this because I’m a bit of a Razer fan and to me the positives outweigh the negatives. Buying this controller is like getting married to a celebrity. You know it won’t last long, but the time together will be amazing.

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.

I don't understand how Razer can generally have such good products, but such trash controllers. I bought a keyboard from Razer in 2016. After almost 10 years, which contained multiple spills, this keyboard still works flawlessly. Not the Wolverine V2 Chroma, though. Right out of the box, it's a great controller. -Hefty. -The buttons have a unique and satisfying press to them. -The push and pull of the thumbsticks feel very precise. But, after 3 of these controllers, I can safely say that it all goes down hill very, very quickly. The first major issue is the cord. I do not understand how this USB-C is so sensitive. Any little movement of the controller itself will start causing constant disconnects within the first few months. Sometimes they last a few seconds, other times you have to unplug the controller and plug it back in and then wait 10-15 seconds for the controller to power on and give feedback. Before long, the ABXY buttons begin to lose their integrity. The press becomes looser, and it starts getting pickier about when it registers a press. And within the first six months, consistently, the trifecta completes with stick drift and ghost touches. Razer is great, and they'll gladly offer you a replacement if you reach out to them; but the frustration is simply not worth it. The replacement will be great for a couple of weeks. PowerA makes more reliable controllers. It's baffling.

Pros: The buttons are very easy to reprogram and use. Honestly, now that I've gotten used to the paddles, I can't imagine using anything else. Ergonomics are a plus. Also, the swappable thumb sticks neat. I like the slightly longer one for aiming. Cons: The magnetic thumb sticks do pop off if you drop it and they're easy to lose. Also, you should crack open the case and do some cleaning once in a while. The buttons can get clogged with dust and dirt. Overall: I'll probably stick with this controller until they stop making it. It's sturdy, works well, and the program used to change sensitivity, dead spots, and controller remapping is simple enough for me to use.

Edit: I've had the Wolverine Chroma V2 for exactly a year now and have been noticing really bad stick drift that makes gaming absolutely unplayable. The left thumbstick works completely fine going left to right but when going up and down the left thumbstick slowly goes back to the middle (which i can see through the software). I'm not sure why it took me so long to notice but I know it's partly because I did not expect this controller to get any stick drift. The older version of this controller (Wolverine Tournament Edition) never had this issue and I bought 2 of them in the span of 3 years. Unfortunately this will be my last time purchasing a Razer controller as I no longer trust their durability and is something I prioritize the most in order to get the best value per dollar. This is still a review in progress as I need more time with the controller to have a full opinion on it. For some context I have purchased 2 Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition controllers in the last 3 years and trust the quality and durability of Razer controllers. I'm really happy Razer made a chroma edition to the Wolverine v2 as it looks absolutely stunning with my RGB set up. The rubber grip below the RGB is very comfortable and isn't distracting at all. Razer kept the tactile \ clicky feel of the buttons which I always loved. The placement of the m1\m2 feel even better on the Wolverine v2 and is more natural and easier to reach. The triggers feel really nice but wouldn't mind if they made the triggers a bit more rounded at the tips so they aren't pressing into my fingers so harshly. The interchangable magnetic thumbsticks are a nice addition to the Wolverine lineup however you can only change the top piece and not the entire thumbstick, therefore when stick drift inevitably happens, you are SOL. The placement of the 'start' & 'menu' buttons are weird to get used to at first. I absolutely dislike the new d-pad as it is harder to press down on the direction you want as it is one circular button which you can also 'whiff' and hit the side of the d-pad because of its height. I wish it was interchangable like the Elite controllers have. The macro buttons on the back of the controller are a bit harder to reach especially if you have smaller hands. However the controller itself feels natural and doesn't feel too big, my hands fit medium latex gloves very loosely so my hands are not large at all. I'm still getting used to this controller within a competitive setting so I will update this review over time.

Overall this controller is very good in all categories however, one thing I’ve experienced is that people with smaller hands might not like the controller all too well, as the thumb sticks are slightly spread out and the back paddles are a little difficult to reach, but for me (with fairly normal to large hands) the ergonomics of this controller are really nice and Comfortable. Out of all the features, my favorite and most utilized feature is the trigger stops, these things allow me to shoot faster and and be more accurate with trigger inputs Another thing I like is the 10 foot braided USB-C cable that is included Personally I believe that this controller is an absolute steal, as the elite series 2 and scuff controllers are $200+. This controller has almost all the features the expensive elite controllers provides, while being somewhat affordable, the only downside is that this controller is not wireless, even though you are able to disconnect the USB-C cable and store the controller you cannot actually use the controller without it.

Lo uso para mi XBOX SERIES X me funciona de maravilla para jugar Shooters, responde super bien y la verdad es que la calidad de los materiales es bastante buena, se siente mas duradero que un control original de Microsoft. Para mi es muy típico que los botones de un mando de PS5 o de XBOX Series X a las pocas semanas se siente un desgaste en lo mecánico...el click no se siente ya tan sólido...pero en este mando no pierden esa solidez. No es pesado ni se siente la calidad de los materiales como un control de XBOX serie Elite, pero si representa una mejora considerable vs los originales normales de XBOX. Las palancas traseras son de Gran Utilidad e igualmente se sienten muy solidas, tambien cuenta con una app que descargas de la tienda y te permite hacer configuraciones en el mando. Se me olvidaba mencionar las luces LED (tambien configurables) le dan un Toque muy personalizable y bastante Pro a tu mando. Solo le pongo una contra, no lo recomiendo para efootball, no se que sucede con este juego que dispara de la nada. Pero parece ser que es el juego porque con el warzone me va de maravilla.

Com os pads e os gatilhos extra consigo jogar com os dez dedos. Ajuda muito em jogos dos como Call of Duty.

Comprei este controle há quase dois anos. Até agora está funcionando perfeitamente. É uma experiência diferenciada, sobretudo para jogos de tiro online, como fortnite ou COD Warzone, por exemplo. O único porém: funciona apenas com cabo USB C. Vem junto um cabo USBC super reforçado, com 3 metros de comprimento. Quem quer usar bateria ou pilhas, não compre

Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition: PROBADO Y ME ENCANTO Razer Wolverine Ultimate: PROBADO Y ME FASCINO Ya he probado las versiones de Razer anteriores así que puedo decir que se de lo que hablo, de por si con el Razer Wolverine Ultimate 1 mucha gente comenta que son para gente de manos grandes por la posición de los botones traseros y yo realmente "no soy una persona de manos grandes" y llego perfectamente a los 4 botones traseros desde la versión 1 y ahora con esta nueva versión siento que el control es ligeramente mas pequeño y se llega con mejor facilidad a los 4 botones traseros. Siempre he sentido que las versiones anteriores son ligeramente mas sensibles a comparación de los originales de Microsoft y uno lo puede rectificar con algún programa para checar los joisticks del control, uno podrá notar que no están al 100% calibrados pero aun así están MUY bien, uno podrá sentir que son un poco mas sensibles sobre todo en juegos de disparos pero nada que con unas horas de juego uno no se pueda acostumbrar, ahora con esta nueva versión de Razer Wolverine V2 se siente que mejoraron mucho ese tema de los Joisticks, al verificarlo en programas e igual al utilizarlo se siente exactamente como un control original de Microsoft y eso es un punto muy importante, esta totalmente calibrado los Joisticks. En mi opinión es un Excelente control y puedo decir que es un control MUCHO pero MUCHO mejor que Elite (Igual ya he tenido Elite 1 y el 2) y digo que es mejor por que Razer no se descompone a los 2 meses de utilizarlo ¬¬ jaja ESTOY ENAMORADO de esta nueva entrega, mejoraron muchos puntos en el control y sigo apostando más por RAZER ! (OJO: el cable que se ve en mis fotos es uno extra tipo C que yo tenia de por si, el original aun no lo saco de su empaque, no he tenido ningún problema en usar un cable que no sea el original, bien por Razer al incorporar al fin el cable tipo C)

What I received is an official refurbished item, not literally a 'New' one as stated on Amazon. Coming with a refurbished item package, not the package you usually see. All components are packed in a sealed plastic bag. Disappointed but fair & make sense at this price, which is a lot cheaper than the 'real-new' product. The price is equivalent to the refurbished outside Amazon, somewhere else, so I accepted. No issue with the product itself, works well and is likely new (no obvious mark on it). It is a good way to buy a cheaper one if you can accept a refurbished product. For me and my use, a cheaper one does better, no matter if it is refurbished.
