Customer Ratings & Reviews

Lately, I've been looking for a good controller to play Hellldivers. after buying and returning 4 different controllers, I gave this one a try. I have to say I'm impressed with the quality and feel of this controller. the buttons are clicky and buttery smooth, I am definitely pleased with it.

My favorite controller by far. Easy to use, extremely long battery life and i love how you can customize it!

It’s a great controller but it does break easy from time to time I’ve had problems with the charging port wearing out fast or the joysticks just popping off the joystick under the plastic the only way I would buy this controller is with a warranty if you don’t you might be disappointed

I love this controller, the mouse click buttons are very responsive and the toggles are very accurate with no stick drift. It works well with games like COD and CFB25. The only thing I would change is, I would have more into interchangeable sticks because my thumbs are wide

10/10 controller. Best controller out there for pc and Xbox. Nothing better than this one.

got this controller as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it!

Exactly what I expect from Razer. I've been buying their Xbox controllers since I had a 360 and this is the best one yet. The ONLY problem I have is that I wish the d-pad had individual buttons... like previous models. Not a deal breaker, but still a little annoying. Otherwise, everything about the way this controller feels is superb.

The mechanical buttons and no stick drift is a win for me

Very good control easy to setup and get familir with it in general is a Good Choice for pro controler.

Its very smooth no drift so far and feels great on the hands

The product is really good, and confortable I'm really happy whit it

Setting It Up Works with Xbox and Windows. This controller can be used with Bluetooth or the USB-A dongle that comes with it. I have been connecting directly to my computer via Bluetooth, so I have not needed the dongle. Charging Uses an internal lithium-ion polymer battery. Charges through a USB-C plug. Charging cord provided is a USB-A to USB-C braided-style cord that’s approximately 10 feet long. Cord has a premium build and is fairly flexible. I like the charging cord length as I can stay plugged in at my PC but have plenty of slack. Controller Build Quality Everything feels like a solid build. The controller has some heft to it, and feels nicer than a standard X-Box controller. Handles have a slightly knurled rubberized backside for grip. The storage case is nice with places for the extra thumbstick caps and a net area for the cord. The charging cord is a nice braided style as mentioned above. Even the caps for the USB ends are the soft and rubbery instead of the cheaper hard plastic. Using the Controller Size – I have larger hands and feel that the controller is a pretty good size for me. It’s a little larger than the standard Xbox controller. Buttons / Triggers – Triggers are the Razer Pro HyperTriggers which are super-fast for clicking. They have haptic vibrations to provide a response that you can feel. The action buttons (X,A,Y, and B) also have the tactile feedback. 4 mouse click back paddles have been added as well as 2 claw grip bumpers. These are in addition to the standard 4 Left/Right Top and Bottom triggers. The 6 extra buttons are customizable within the Razer Controller App. My only issue with the controller is that I have a hard time with accidentally pressing the 4 back paddles, particularly the M3 and M4 paddles. It seems that my hands want to grip the controller there, so I end up accidentally pressing those. Accurate – Hall Effect Thumbsticks prevent drift and seem to work really well. I did not notice any drift while playing. RGB – No extra RGB lighting other than the Xbox button and the Razer logo. Battery Life – Could not find information on the expected battery life. So far I am on my initial charge, so it seems to be lasting well. Conclusion I’m giving the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 4 stars. It works well for accuracy, speed, and response. The build quality is pretty nice all around. My biggest complaint is that I have a hard time not pressing the extra paddles on the back of the controller. This may take some getting used to. Overall it’s a pretty solid controller.

The dongle broke within a month of me having it took another month for razer to send a another 1 out to me Worst experience ever will never buy a razor controller again

I have been loving the Razer Wolverines V3 controller, it has unleashed my potential and put me at the top of every game, but it has one major drawback that is hard to ignore yet may possibly be fixed with an update by Razer. The controller comes neatly nestled in a hardshell travel case that is coated in soft fabric. It unzips to reveal the controller snuggled in place, along with two extra thumbstick caps, a short domed one and a tall concave one, and a USB wireless stick. The top lid had a sturdy mesh fabric that stores the 10ft USB-A to USB-C charging cable, which has replaceable cover caps at both ends to keep dust and grime out of the dongles. The buttons are smooth and easy to press. The mouse-like clicks are satisfying and increase my reaction time. Reaction to click is basically instantaneous which gives me a great advantage in games. The controller also has a nice color changing feature in the Razer name, which is customizable. It adds a nice touch while playing in a dark room and plays to the computer gaming experience it is taking on by adding mouse click buttons. The trigger buttons have the option to convert them from the traditional click to mouse-like click, while the back paddles only have mouse clicks. I love having these customizable back paddles, but one downside is during tense moments in gameplay my fingers accidentally hit these buttons. Of course, I don’t hold my controller using the claw grip, this is not a problem when employing that technique. The build of the controller gives it a high-quality feel. It has heft while remaining lightweight and has a good center of gravity. The hall-effect thumbsticks are perfect because I don’t have to worry about drift, and they work so well and smoothly. Also, I really appreciate the additional thumbsticks included. Personally, the dome feels more ergonomic to me and allows me to move more naturally. The controller’s rubber grip is smooth and easy on the hands during long hours of gameplay. It feels overall durable and well-made. The USB-A dongle offers 2.4 GHz connection, which, as advertised, provides an extremely fast response. After playing with basic controllers up until now, this one has immensely upped my game play. I’m constantly coming out on top in first- and third-person shooter games ever since I started using this. One issue I have found is that the controller does not show battery level on the XBOX, it states it is charging, possibly due to the dongle tricking the XBOX into thinking it is a wired connection, thus I never know where I am at with battery. The battery level is exceptional, lasting me about 2 weeks between chargers playing around 10-15hours a week. The 10ft cord is fantastic. It is made of thick, quality cord and has a rubber tie that pops on and off super easily. It gives me all the distance necessary to charge while I play without creating a trip hazard. My main gripe with this controller is that Razer has yet to add it to its Controller app. It is advertised to have customizable thumbstick sensitivity, button layout, and vibration sensitivity through the Razer Controller app, but this is option not out yet. Because of this, I am stuck for the time being with its default deadzone which is much too large for my liking. It does not even show up on my XBOX so I cannot customize it through the console either. I play aggressively, so I don’t mind a larger deadzone, but I find myself having to move the thumbstick until it hits plastic before movement occurs. So, while many aspects of this controller grant me an advantage in reaction time, this one sets me back drastically. I am eagerly awaiting an update from the app. Overall, I am impressed with this controller and loving it. Besides the few drawbacks I mentioned, it provides an amazing improvement to my reaction time and has gotten rid of some of the frustration coming from a basic controller. It is definitely still a win in my book.

📦 UNBOXING: Inside the box is the Wolverine V3 Pro controller, a long USB-C to USB-A cable, a 2.4GHz USB-A wireless dongle, and two alternative thumbsticks. The thumbsticks on the controller also had small foam stoppers to prevent them from being pushed in during transport. Other than that, it includes the quick start guide which reveals some of the best features this controller has to offer. 💪 BUILD: The Wolverine V3 Pro weighs in at 300g which is the same as the standard Xbox Series controller with my 2300mAh rechargeable AA batteries. This makes it a very comfortable weight, whereas my Xbox Elite Series 2 weighs in at roughly 343g with paddles. The Wolverine V3 Pro seems to use a plastic material that is very similar to the standard Xbox Series controller, but with a more diffused textured surface. The thumbsticks are removable, but the D-Pad doesn’t appear to be removable. In addition to the standard Xbox controller layout, the Wolverine V3 Pro adds 4 back paddles and 2 claw grip bumpers which can be remapped, but are not removable from the controller. There is also a function button used for remapping and other onboard features. The controller charges via USB-C and also sports a 3.5mm wired combo audio jack. Another competitive advantage is that Razer has added “hypertriggers” which can be engaged via the slide locks. This allows you to click the triggers with a short-travel pull, so they are basically instantaneous. This is great for FPS games or other games where response time is important. But then you can disengage them for a longer trigger pull for games that rely on variable trigger sensitivity like racing games. The included case also has a nice rigid shell to protect the controller whether at home or during transportation in a backpack. The thumbstick grips are of equal quality compared to a standard Series controller, but the button switches used on the Wolverine V3 Pro are nothing like the Series controller or Elite Series 2 controller. As someone who uses a Razer gaming mouse, I like their switches, and feel that their switches are very pleasant, have more tactile feedback, and should hopefully last longer than the switches used in competing controllers. 🛠️ SETUP: Out of the box, I decided to check Razer’s support website and found a firmware update that was available (v1.2.1.0), so I installed that from my PC before moving on. Please note that there’s no way to install firmware updates from the Xbox, so it has to be done via PC. Whether on PC or on Xbox, the setup process is basically plug-n-play, but some additional features are available if you use the “Razer Controller Setup for Xbox” app on either PC or Xbox. Simply plug in the wireless dongle and hold the Xbox button on the controller to turn it on, and it’ll automatically pair. Note that the controller will prefer a wired connection (which offers better latency and no reliance on battery life) if you plug it in over USB. Unlike the standard Xbox controller, this controller can only function wirelessly via the included dongle, and cannot pair directly to the Xbox or to the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. And it does not have Bluetooth as a fallback option for PC players. To my knowledge, this is one of only a handful of official third-party Xbox controllers that actually works wirelessly with an Xbox. However, I don’t love that a dongle is required to use it on Xbox since that may impose limitations on how many of these controllers can be connected. Looking at all the documentation I could find, there’s no clear answer if you can connect two Wolverine V3 Pro controllers to the same Xbox console or PC for that matter. I would hope so, but I wouldn’t make any assumptions given that the controller doesn’t connect using the same built-in wireless mechanisms as the official Xbox Series and Elite controllers. 🖥️ SOFTWARE: The Razer Controller Setup for Xbox app is pretty minimal overall, and you really don’t need to use it unless you want to create different profiles, configure thumbstick deadzones, or use a sensitivity clutch to reduce the thumbstick sensitivity whenever you hold a paddle or claw grip bumper. The Sensitivity Clutch can be really useful for certain first person shooters where you may need lower sensitivity on your aiming thumbstick to dial in a headshot. I have found that some games have less forgiving default aim acceleration, so this feature can significantly help under those circumstances. And while I like that the app can help create profiles, I don’t like that the only way to switch profiles is through the app. The Xbox Elite Series 2 has the ability to toggle between profiles, and I think Razer could have stored onboard profiles and allowed players to use colors on the RGB LED Razer logo to switch between profiles based on colors that they configured. 🎮 REMAPPING & OTHER: The on-the-fly remapping is the highlight of this controller. Simply press and hold the Function button, then press one of the back paddles or claw grip bumpers to have it “listen” to which button you want it to program it to. Then simply press any of the other standard Xbox buttons (share button and thumbstick directions excluded), and it’ll be re-programmed. Initially, I thought this might be niche, but I find that it saves me a ton of time to program a game since I don’t need to open an app to program the mapping. Sometimes, I don’t immediately know how I want to program the paddles and claw grip bumpers. But it’s been game-changing that I can reprogram a button in less than 2 seconds and without having to leave the game. The function button on the controller also allows you to use a combination of other buttons to toggle between different colors for the Razer logo, change brightness and animation speed settings, change headset volume settings, and change haptics strength. The fact that all of this can be done on-the-fly without leaving the game is incredibly convenient. Another interesting feature of the controller is Tournament mode which switches to a 1000Hz polling rate when wired on PC, as opposed to the default 250Hz polling rate when in Xbox mode. You can’t use the app while in Tournament mode, but I don’t think that’s terribly important. 🔋 BATTERY: To some extent, one of the biggest pitfalls of this controller compared to an Elite Series 2 controller is the fact that the battery can only sustain for 20 hours, and it’s not removable. I would say this may be pretty standard battery life for a standard Xbox controller (depending on the AA batteries that you use), but there’s no doubt that I think some folks will find themselves needing to charge the Wolverine V3 Pro a lot more frequently. 🧐 CONCLUSION: Overall, I have definitely been enjoying using the Wolverine V3 Pro. While I don’t love its lower battery life compared to Microsoft’s own Elite controller, I have more confidence that the hall effect joysticks and razer switches will outlast the commodity switches that Microsoft uses. But more importantly, I really enjoy the ergonomics, responsiveness of the controller, and the incredibly easy methodology for remapping the paddles and claw grip bumpers. While the Razer V3 Pro comes in at a premium price, I think its switches and joysticks are likely to significantly outlast Microsoft’s own Elite controller, and the remapping capabilities are innovative, intuitive, and make this controller much more enjoyable to use.

Where to start with this amazing controller. I wasn’t sure how good this controller would be when I first decided to get it, but spoiler alert, it’s really good. If you want fully customizable buttons, extra back buttons to program, lockable triggers, precise accurate thumb sticks, super-fast control response time (1000hz polling rate wired on PC, 250hz for Xbox) solid button feel, and excellent build quality, then just get this controller. Build Quality: Okay, so generally all pro level controllers are supposed to have a good build to them, and the Wolverine Pro V3 is NO exception. The controller with all of its features is not much heavier than a standard XBOX controller ( xx oz. vs xx oz ) and even with that the controller feels super solid in your hands with precise and satisfying clickable XYAB buttons. In fact, all of the buttons on this controller have a nice satisfying click to them and feel built to last. Another thing to note is I feel as if this controller is molded to fit in your hand in a way that most controllers do not. Since this can be subjective, I ask a few other people to tell me how it felt in their hands, and they also confirmed it feels super comfortable to them. Customization: Using downloadable SOFTWARE (Razer Controller Setup for XBOX) which is available for both XBOX console and PC’s is where you are going to head when you want to make any changes to how the controller operates. In the software you can reassign buttons and create multiple profiles to make it easier to switch between layouts and settings as needed. You can choose to assign the back paddle buttons or just one of them. You can even change the button designations if you wish to do so. Theres also the ability to adjust the dead zone of the controller thumb sticks. This will allow you to get super tight response from those sticks or create a more relaxed response if needed. You can also calibrate the sticks if you ever have an issue. Theres a lighting section which allows you to change the colors of the RAZER wording on the front of the controller. You can select steady or Spectrum Cycling or OFF. I usually leave it on steady and match the colors to my PC or ambient room lighting. Lastly you can adjust the Haptic Strength and Power Saving settings for the controller. I honestly enjoy the ability to set up the controller pretty much however I choose to and give them 5 Stars in this area. Gameplay: So onto the most important aspect of the controller. Using this controller over the last couple of weeks I can honestly say it’s the best controller I have ever used, and it will be very hard to go back to a standard Xbox controller if I ever needed to. The response time in games like COD is on point. As fast as your setup allows, this controller will complete the control side of things. My favorite feature and now hard to live without is the “lockable triggers”. On the back you can slide over 2 switches which will lock either your right or left triggers. I choose to lock both, and this means that I no longer must press the trigger all the way down when I am aiming down sight and then shooting. I find this can be the deciding factor when you and an opponent are face to face. Almost like an old western who can draw and shoot the fastest at the same time, I believe this is where this feature can give you an upper hand, and whether you make it or not. Theres also an option if you plug in the controller to a PC and hit a combination of buttons for a shortcut, you can set the controller to PC Mode which will give you 1000Hz Polling Rates which basically means you have the least possible lag that can exist while using this controller. I normally play with this mode active as I need 1ms response time from basically everything on my setup. Just to reiterate, this only works when you play plugged in with a USB cable. This controller is also touted for its implementation of Hall Effect thumb sticks. I will say when I first got the controller I felt a difference in the response, almost like they were not as smooth responding. Again, this is how I felt but as I have been playing, I think I have gotten used to them. I believe that there is still a noticeable difference just in the feel of using hall effect sticks vs conventional PCB slider modules. I still think I prefer PCB thumb sticks, but I understand why the Hall Effect sticks have a place. They ultimately should stand up to heavy gaming much longer than the latter, and some may prefer them. Speaking of thumb sticks, in the case that the controller comes in, they provide you with 2 other thumb sticks which you can change based on preference. Just a firm pull of the thumb stick cap, and you can swap one or both provided caps. I keep the standard caps on as I feel like they are just fine for my taste. The controller also comes with a nice long USB Cable in the provided case and foam circular thumb stick protectors that you can use if you wish when the controller is in the case, and you are traveling. The case is a nice soft material with a nice hard shell and a decent zipper. All in all, this controller has been and continues to leave a positive impression on me. Final Thoughts: If you are looking for a good competitive controller that offers full customization and solid build quality with Hall Effect thumb sticks, then I suggest you give this controller a shot. Just be sure to use it for about two weeks before you make up your mind, as when I first started to use it, I wasn’t used to the buttons and control of the thumb sticks. I had to use this controller for about 2 weeks solidly to say that I honestly wouldn’t want to play with any other controller.

So I’ve been gaming with this razer wolverine V3 controller for a little while now and it has grown on me. It’s become my go to for Pc gaming. It was a little awkward at first because the buttons feel… spongy? Not necessarily in a bad way, but they have this squishy feel when you press on them. They have a nice click to them as well though. Anyway.. the controller is very comfortable for long gaming sessions. Usually my fingers get tired after pulling on the trigger buttons for a while, these have not fatigued my fingers at all yet the control is so ergonomic and like I’ve mentioned earlier, every button has a nice soft responsive feel to them. I also enjoy the triggers in the back, you can customize them to whatever you want to use them for. I like using them with mmo games because I can put different spells on each button. The control has a subtle RGB light that changes colors in the center. A nice touch. Battery life is excellent and I’ve only had to charge it once so far in about 2 weeks. I think this controller is one of the best I’ve ever used. It is very responsive, it has Hall effect joysticks.. so theoretically you’ll never get stick drift, and it works for both PC and Xbox. It comes with a carrying case, extra accessories. Although it is pricey, I think it’s worth the $$. Overall build quality is very good, so it should last a long time and it comes with alot of accessories. I won a tournament in rocket league the first night I play with this control. The joysticks are just so smooth.

The quality of the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is obvious from the moment you open the hard-side carrying case. I love the solid feel of this controller. There is no slop in any movements of the joysticks or buttons. The microswitches in each button feel very precise, and it’s apparent there are no membrane switches to be found. Wireless connection requires use of the included 2.4 GHz USB-A dongle that delivers lag-free performance. At 2.4 GHz, I anticipated potential interference from multiple sources (wireless network, wireless phone, microwave oven, etc.); there was none. It works great and, as far as I can tell, performance is indistinguishable from the wired connection. Wired connection to PC via the included 10’ cable opens up available 1,000 Hz polling in Tournament Mode. Standard and Tournament modes can be selected in software or by using button combinations on the controller – no additional hardware required. Remapping the buttons is intuitive and a great system. You don’t even need to pause the game. The remapping is easily my favorite feature of the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. I wish all programmable controllers were this easy to reconfigure. Six programmable buttons – four on the back, one on each shoulder – make it incredibly easy to customize button assignments on the fly. All of the buttons and each trigger have the same click actuation and are very responsive. Slide locks adjacent to the triggers on the bottom toggle trigger travel between a standard long-pull and a near-instant-actuation short-pull (think mouse clicks). There is also a short domed thumb stick and tall thumb stick included to suit different styles and preferences. The D-pad takes a little getting used to. It somehow has both a soft and clicky feel, but response is quick and accurate. The buttons on the back are placed exactly where my fingers expect them to be and work with a satisfying “click.” Sticks are stiffer than I’m used to, so much so that I began to notice some fatigue after a couple hours. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro feels slightly smaller than the standard controllers, and I’m not sure it’s good long term for players with larger hands. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro has a textured plastic grip that is comfortable over long gaming sessions, but I prefer a rubberized surface for enhanced comfort and grip. I’ve been using “Elite” controllers for years, and the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is different enough to have a slight learning curve, but if it fits your hands comfortably it is easily worth it. The additional programmability and customization are standout features that put the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro on my short list and make this controller very easy to recommend.

Only had for about 3 months and one of the thumbsticks is loose and completely broken

Introduction Razer has been making everything from gaming laptops to mice and keyboards. The Wolverine is their newest controller for Xbox and PC. Going in I have not tried any of Razer’s controllers, so this will be new territory for me. As I do game with a controller when I can, I have never really used a premium controller that cost over $100. What comes in the box? Out of the box you get the a very long USB-A to USB-C braided charge or play cable, the controller, a carrying case that contains the USB-A dongle, an extra hall effect thumb stick that’s in a different size, and a convex thumb stick. Minor wins I really do like the four “mouse side buttons” that they included in the back. They do take some time to get used to, but after a bit of practice, you get used to them. I will say, that I only use the two upper buttons, and the lower two stay relatively inactive for all of my gameplay. It’s a small novelty but I like how the Razer logo on the front of the controller glows differently depending on how much battery life it has left. Major wins The controller feels great. It has a nice weightiness to it. The grips are textured and feel really nice. The rest of the controller has a nice matte finish to it. I’m really glad that the design engineers didn’t decide to include glossy plastic anywhere on the controller. Usage You can choose to either use it as is, and ignore the extra buttons, or download the app on your pc and map it how you want. You can also choose to use it wirelessly via the dongle, or use the cable. I’m very close to my pc, so I don’t mind having it connected. The wireless function is nice if you’re desktop is a distance from you and you want to sit comfortable on a sofa or something. The controller’s buttons and thumb sticks are probably some of the best ones I’ve ever used. The hall effect thumb sticks feel great. The face buttons have a good feel when you push them and no sticking. The shoulder buttons are all responsive. The LT and RT have a unique feature where you can keep them at their default state; the trigger feel, and have them travel all the way down and back, or you can have them act almost like buttons where they have short travel. I’ve been using the default way for so long that I could not get used to the short travel setup. The M1 and M2 buttons took a few hours to get used to. Having to train my brain to use the two extra triggers did help, but not tremendously. The most interesting part of the controller is the “floating” directional buttons. When you press any direction, the button goes back to its stationary position. It’s responsive. The M3-M6 buttons on the back are fun to use, but I found myself using the M3 and M4 only. I found it weird trying to use my pinkie fingers to hit the M5 and M6… so those are never used during my gameplays. So I used it on a fighting game and a FPS. I chose those games because they require pretty good input time and response to adequately compete. The fighting game had no issues with input response. I went into training mode to see how quickly the inputs were being registered, and sure enough, it was pretty much instantaneous. The FPS was fun. I mapped my buttons a bit differently and tried utilizing the M1-M4… and it was chaos. I changed my jump and reload buttons to M3 and M4, and it was actually more comfortable. M1 was grenades, and M2 was spotting people on the map. After about an hour, it became second nature. All of the buttons respond well, and the controller was comfortable to hold during the whole gameplay session. Minor issues This is going to sound quite sad but I could not for the life of me figure out how to go into calibration mode to remap some of the buttons. I thought that If I plugged in the USB dongle, surely it would pop up… nope. Little did I know that the instructions manual suggests to download the app on the Microsoft store to unlock its “final form.” A QR code anywhere on the internal packaging would have made this easier. Primarily for Gamers who like having a premium controller with extra buttons to map out. Probably not for People who don’t need all of the bells and whistles that come with the premium price tag. All in all I like what Razer has done with the Wolverine V3 Pro. IT’s comfortable, works really well, and is customizable. The price tag is a bit scary, but I think that’s the average going price for a premium controller.
