Had this for a couple of months and i must say the amount of things it doesnt have but for the price is asking is disgusting 1.of all sometimes it would legit just randomly disconnect from the PlayStation u gotta hold it to turn it off then back on but the game doesnt know so u just get beat up 2.it doesnt wake up the PlayStation up when you press the PlayStation button 3. the mute button only mutes wired in the controller (ps5 can mute everything even the whole console) 4. You have to turn off the controller after you turn off the console 5. Joystick easy to get dirty compared to stock controller 6. No carry case 7. No speaker 8 no mic 9. Unnecessary wireless ps5/pc buttons in back its missing so much the real only pros i can give it is battery life and extra buttons and really good d-pad plus a good feel with good butons to but i like it 150 would be perfect

The Razer Wolverine v2 Pro falls short due to the lack of features like rumble support and questionable ergonomics decisions like button placement. There are some positive features like tactile action buttons and an 8-way microswitch action pad which by the way is excellent for fighting games, and adjustable trigger buttons for shorter distance travel. Unless you highly prefer the Xbox joystick layout you’re better off with Sony's official offering.
Ergonomics for the most part is fine. It is a comfortable controller to play on for hours. I do like the feel and sound of the action buttons. The joysticks are great to play on and you do get 2 additional thumb sticks in the box. The only issues I had were the additional top buttons. For example during an online gaming session of Call of Duty it was hard for me to keep the aim on. I was constantly pressing the smaller button next to it. There are some additional buttons in the rear too that are also not well placed. It’s nice having additional programmable buttons but their placement is not optimal.
There is a Razer app that allows you to control the RGB lighting and the 6 additional programmable buttons. You can also adjust the sensitivity clutch for the joysticks. I highly suggest you do a firmware update via a computer. I did experience some issues with connectivity, controls moving all over the place without input, and having to power off and on the controller for the PS5 to properly recognize it. There is no direct connection to the PS5 so you must use the included dongle. This also means you won’t be able to power on the PS5. I would blame this more on Sony for locking it down to first party controllers only.
For the most part the Razer Wolverine Pro it’s not a bad controller, it just needed some additional time for polishing. If you’re a huge fan of the Xbox controller layout most certainly you will like this one. But for me what keeps this from being my daily driver is the additional bumper buttons that are too close to the top buttons that end up getting in the way. The concept was good, it just wasn’t executed right. Maybe V3 can address these issues.

More for PC than PS5

I was pretty excited to give this a try. I do a lot of gaming on my PC, PS5, and Switch (this doesn't work with the switch). Out of the box you basically just get the controller, 2 extra sticks, and a USBC cable. As others have said, it would be nice to have some kind of case to keep the controller, extra sticks, and cable in. But that's a minor gripe.
The feel of this controller is amazing. I have fairly large hands and while I game with regular controllers just fine, this one just seems to fit better in my hands. It's a bit wider than your standard controller. I wish the grips were a tad bit longer, but again, minor gripe.
I have never used a controller with the "clicky" buttons before and I absolutely love it. The feel and response time is better than anything I have ever felt before. Not to mention I love the satisfying click with every press!
The controller has many extra buttons that can be remapped so the controller can fit your playing style. For example if you wanted to remap the L1 and R1 triggers to the back paddles you could easily do it. I'm an old school gamer and prefer the regular layout though. Speaking of that. This isn't laid out like a standard PS5 controller with the sticks in the middle. The controller doesn't have haptic feedback or rumble either. With those 3 things missing I think this is more suitable as a PC controller, even though it works perfectly fine with a PS5. I guess I'm just used to having certain things when I play each different system and I would miss those features using this on my PS5. So this will absolutely be my new PC gaming controller.
The controller also had programmable lights which look cool, but will also eat up your battery. I guess it's up to personal preference if you want or use those or not. Overall, I get great battery life out of it! Definitely more than you get with a regular PS5 controller.
Overall, it's a pricy, but amazing feeling controller. If you are a gamer with bigger hands, absolutely give this a try. I'm sure you will love it!

For the price of the controller it doesn’t have a haptic feedback. And this wolverine version doesn’t include a carrying case compare to the previous version. The only pro about this controller is the extra remapple buttons. And the manufacturer’s warranty isnt that good. I would recommend getting the geek squad warranty if you’re interested on purchasing this one. I ended up returning this and bought the ps5 Edge.

Quality, Feature Rich, with Mechanical Switches

The Wolverine V2 Pro is a well built and feature rich controller that's a perfect fit in my and a joy to use!
Design
I love the look and design of the Wolverine V2 Pro! It feels very solid and fits my hand very well While it doesn't feel light in any way, using it doesn't make my hands or arms tired. The rounded lower portions fit in my palms very comfortably. Those lower portions and the sides have a texture that provides a good, reassuring, grip without feeling soft or like it will wear out. Even with the extra triggers, I'll talk about them later, you can set the Wolverine on a flat surface and none of the triggers or buttons touch the surface. I think this is helpful to extend the life of the trigger mechanisms and good design. There are lights along the side, following the contour of the controller, and a light along the bottom of the touchpad. Besides standard buttons there are six customizable button on the end, with L1, L2 and R1, R2, and under the controller. There are also two additional analog stick tops. The two concave ones that come on it pull off easily and can be replaced with the two others, one is concave and adds extra height for more precision. The other is convex and low for fast movement. There are two switches on the bottom of the controller PC or PS5 mode and Wired or Wireless mode.
Features
I'm just going to list a lot of the features here though I may talk about them in other parts of this review.
- Map keys to extra buttons
- Change lighting colors
- 6 Re-mapable buttons
- long/tall concave analog stick
- short convex analog stick
I will mention that these alternate analog sticks are very well implemented. They fit in perfectly and there's a magnet to help. The fit is very firm so I didn't notice any extra movement because of them being switchable.
- Mechanical switches
The feel is great! You can totally feel and hear them but when playing a game I don't even notice them. They're very well calibrated so the feel is just enough but not too much, same for the sound. Even the d-pad uses the mechanical switches! It's got an incredible feel to it!
- Short actuation distance for the switches so presses register faster than most if not all other controller
- Razer Hyper-Triggers
This is awesome! it allows you to switch between a normal trigger with pressure sensitive response and an on/off mechanical switch like the other buttons on the controller, giving you much shorter actuation than the full travel of a normal trigger if you don't need it to be pressure sensitive. Even better, this is enabled/disabled interdependently with a switch for each side, left and right.
- 1/8", 3.5 mm headphone jack (only works with USB dongle, wireless mode, not wired, and for the PS5, not for the PC)
Controller App
You will want to install the Razer "Controller" App to changing lighting and key mapping options. It gives you four profiles. Each profile has a color and when you select it that color flashes just below the touchpad so you can see which mode is selected. The default profiles are Shooter, Fighting, Sports, and Racing. Those can all be renamed. You can configure different lighting colors and key mappings for each profile. For lighting colors, there's a color wheel, a slider, and even the option to put in the hex code of an exact color. The lights will be sort of close to what you pick on screen but don't expect to get lots of shades or tints reproduced accurately - it's still cool though. You can map square, triangle, circle, X, d-pad up, down, left, right, and L/R1, L/R2, L/R3, the Create button, and multi-function button to any one of the six M1-M6 (Middle as opposed to Left or Right). The extra buttons have a good feel to them. They're easy for me to find with my fingers. The app also shows you the battery life remaining of the controller with a five bar indicator
Compatibility
Besides doing PC gaming this the Wolverine V2 Pro, I also tested it on a Chromebook and PS3. It worked like a champ on both! I used it for some retro gaming as well as newer sports games and 3D open world games. I really love the feel of the buttons, the mechanical switches really, and the fit of the controller in my hand.
Battery Life
The battery life is excellent!!! I wish I knew how many hours I used it. At first I used it on wired mode to charge it but it's been wireless since then and still showing 5 bars. I do have lighting on "Breath" so the lights are not on all the time, which would help, but still, I'm amazed at the battery life.
Summary
I want to point out some things you may want to know. This controller has no rumble feedback (because it doesn't typically improve how well you do according to their FAQ). You cannot use it as a controller over Bluetooth, it requires a USB Type A port. I found it to be responsive and consistent in it's functions. The 3.5mm stereo jack (headphone jack) only works in PS5 mode and Wireless mode. Overall, I really loved this controller! None of the "negatives" I mentioned in this summary were a problem for me and I am very impressed by the design, quality and features of the Wolverine V2 Pro!

Great Legacy Continues

Ive loved razers controllers and the trend continues with this newest edition. Ive been waiting for a wolverine style PS5 controller (because of latency differneces on PC) and this one did not dissapoint. Is this controller pricey? Sure, but so are most custom/pro controllers. Ive had owned AIM controllers, Victrix, Scuf, Elite Xbox controllers and even paddle attachments. This is probably the easist to use across PC and PS5. My only con is that you need an app on your phone to change paddle functions or profiles. Other than that really liking the controller so far. One year warranty is also respectable.

Must have for PS5 players!

When the PS5 was released a few years ago it did not allow you to use any aftermarket pro controllers on PS5 games. Up until this day it remains the same, and it wasn’t until this year that Sony released its first pro controller. I held off on Sony’s controller because it only comes in one color and has other drawbacks. FINALLY, someone else has released a PS5 compatible pro controller and I believe it is awesome.
One of my favorite things about this controller is that it can be used both on PS5 and PC. When I am at home I play primarily on PS5 and when I am away I play on PC. The frustrating part is that I have to use two different controllers instead of just one on both systems. My next favorite thing about this controller is that it can be both wireless or wired.
Setting it up for the first time on PS5 was a little confusing. Once you get it connected for the first time, it connects automatically like any other controller after that. This controller has more buttons than I even know what to do with but it makes a big difference when playing first person shooters. It allows you to map the controller any way you want it. Mapping the controller is not very complicated. Download an app on your phone and then you can connect the controller and map the buttons. When it comes to customizability, this controller is endless. I love the RGB lighting and the ability to customize or even turn it off.
If you are like me and have been waiting for a Pro controller that is compatible with PS5 this is the one to get. I also think it is a great option for PC players who want to use a controller. My only gripe with it is that it does not come with a case to keep the cables and extra thumb pads. Either way this is a great controller and well worth it.

Faulty product and ignored by customer service
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Wolverine v2 pro for ps5 is the worst controller I’ve ever purchased. Ever.
It stopped working correctly 2 weeks after purchase and I reached out via email to Razer support/customer service multiple times with never ever getting a response back.
$250 down the drain.
Since then I’ve vowed to never purchase Razer products again and make sure as many people hear about their terrible quality and bad customer service as possible.
Yes I’ve updated it. Yes I’ve factory defaulted it and reset it multiple times in hopes of solving the issues and yet, nothing fixes it.
It has random hiccups in its communication to and from the USB dongle attached to the PS5. It causes unpredictable movement and button presses are delayed or don’t register randomly.
I’m a technology professional and have made sure to troubleshoot every single aspect of this controller to get it fixed and working correctly and nothing works. Hence why I reached out to Razer support. Ive even faraday caged my room it’s in to test outside interference as well as removed any other EMF producing electronics. Outside interference is not an issue.
Ultimately I’d like a refund for being ignored like this. But I know very well that is extremely unlikely to happen.
I think a replacement would be nice but I’m not really interested in that either because the product doesn't work.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!

$250 and for what?! There's nothing special about this controller. I've genuinely bought controllers for $30 buck that have the same feature set as this overpriced gimmick. You're purely paying for the RAZER name, and they clearly think they're the Nike of gaming. Just peddling overpriced crap for hundreds of dollars because everyone knows their name... Don't fall for it like I did, this controller is going right back to the store! When it actually connects about 1 every 15 times I try to use it, it will eventually disconnect in the middle of my game. The battery life sucks, I have smaller hands so the controller is uncomfortable after a few hours and I can't really use the "HapticTriggers" because of their placement. Just save the money and buy the first party controller or anything else really. You can find controllers with way better features for like $100 cheaper.
