Customer Ratings & Reviews

Definitely an upgrade from the last Wolverine V2 controller! If you have the previous version of this controller, you are going to be extremely impressed with all the upgrades in this controller. It is definitely worth the upgrade! If you are coming from the official Microsoft Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless controller there are a few small differences you should know about, but they are very, very close in comparison! This is clearly a direct competitor to that controller, so I will mention the differences below. Out of the box you can tell this is a premium controller. It has a good weight to it and feels nice in the hands. The Microsoft controller is definitely a little heavier and feels more solid though, so Microsoft wins that one. It has a slightly rubberized coating on it, but its not as grippy as the Microsoft one. The Microsoft controller definitely has a thicker rubberized coating on it. All the buttons feel great and respond well. This controller definitely has more of a “clicky” feel to all of the buttons than the Microsoft one does. They are slightly louder as well, but I don’t think it will really be bothersome to anyone. They seem to press a little smoother ant take slightly less effort to push than the Microsoft controller, which is a good thing so I will give the edge to the Razer on that one! The joysticks I think are pretty much the same between the 2 controllers. They both have the same feel and responsiveness to me. They are also both removable and swappable for a shorter or taller cap which is included. Both controllers have 2 sets of back paddles. Razer have moved these out more to make them a LOT easier to reach than they were on their previous controller. They are not quite as long as the Microsoft one, but I didn’t feel like I was struggling or reaching to hit the paddles on either controller. The ones on the Razer are not removable, but the ones on the Microsoft controller are. So, if you are someone who never uses them, you can simply pop them off and they won’t be in the way, but you cant do that with the Razer controller, so Microsoft has the slight edge there. The 2 selection buttons are a little bit too high in my opinion on the Razer controller. If you have been used to using the Microsoft controller, you will find yourself trying to hit the button and missing because they sit a lot higher. I find myself having to stretch to hit them. In games where you need to be able to hit them quickly to access menu items, it can be a bit of a problem. The d-pad on both are also very similar. I find that they react the same way and work great. On the Microsoft one though you can remove the d-pad and swap it out with a different style, which you can’t do on the Razer. Again, slight edge to the Microsoft on that one. So, as far as functionality goes, it’s a great controller and will easily make any PC or Xbox gamer very happy! The only caveat is if you are coming from using a Microsoft controller, it may take a little bit of getting used to. But I find the more you use it, it becomes second nature. The Razer also comes with a nice hard shell case to keep the controller in as well as the extra joystick toppers and USB dongle so its very easy to take with you on the go. This is definitely a big upgrade from the previous Razer wolverine controllers and I would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the market for a new Xbox or PC controller!

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Xbox controller has exceeded my expectations! The controller is packaged nicely and the storage case is a nice touch! Its compatible with my Xbox Series X (and S) and also my PC, Although admittedly I didn’t use it that much on my PC, I just tested for compatibility. One of the first things I noticed was how well it fits in my hands. The build quality is impressive, giving it a premium feel that stands out from other controllers I’ve used. It feels sturdy and durable, which is a big plus for any gamer. There are plenty of buttons and they are customizable! This allows you to map the buttons to suit your play style and preferences. Each button feels premium in its travel and overall feel. I don’t foresee any problems with this holding up to some intense button mashing sessions that I frequently have. The wireless connection has been stable, and I have tested with walking away to my other rooms, which are about 30 feet away and had no issues with connectivity.

I have a Razer V2 Pro Controller for PS5/PC, and this new Razer V3 Pro Wireless for Xbox/PC to me took the few shortcomings of that controller and changed things for the better for this new Xbox V3 Pro Wireless version. So glad they listened to their customers, as overall, this is my new favorite controller. The Razer V3 Pro Wireless controller is very comfortable, and has rear buttons that are customizable via the app that you install directly on your xbox or your windows PC. There are four buttons on the back of this controller that are great. They are mouse click style buttons, meaning that they kind of feel like buttons on a mouse you would click. These can be mapped via the software to other functions. There are also two more customizable triggers on the top that Razer calls “claw“ triggers. These are nice to have but they are in an awkward place that are uncomfortable to use as gaming buttons, at least for my hands. The back buttons however are in a great position for my average size hands. The triggers, I love these triggers. This controller’s triggers have a switch for left and right, and say you want to play a driving game, where you want those triggers to be in an analog mode. You leave the trigger stops in the default open mode, so you can have a full, deep press range of motion. But, if you also play games like first person shooters like Call of Duty or anything like that,or even metroidvanias, you can set the triggers to be in their other positions allowing for a much faster click registration. They are no longer “deep pulls” I guess you could say for a click to actually be registered in game. The face buttons are really good too. They feel like micro switch buttons to me, and much better than the stock Xbox One Series controllers which feel more mushy to me having now tried the Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless. I can never go back to anything less. If you have ever tried a mechanical keyboard, it is a similar feeling on each press. Ahh.. the thumbsticks. These have hall effect thumbsticks. While this does not mean they will never get stick drift like most other Xbox controllers, even the Xbox Elite controllers all will eventually develop stick drift. Stick drift it was eventually happens to most controllers sticks, meaning you will take your thumbs off the direction you were pushing/pulling and it should go back to the “dead center” and not move at all. When you develop stick drift, it means the stick will seemingly stay drifting off in the last direction it was pushed or pulled. Hall effect sticks work differently than traditional controller thumbsticks that would wear away inside causing stick drift. Hall effect sticks work with magnets that are far less prone to this failure. These sticks also feel great on this controller to boot. This controller also comes with two extra thumbsticks if you want a different feel that are easily replaceable. Finally, a controller that comes with a case! This was just a bonus for me, but this controller actually comes with a portable case. With spots to hold your extra thumbsticks included and the wireless USB adapter. There is also a pouch you can put your charging / playing cable in. The controller also comes with a 10 foot USB cable to charge and also play wired when needed. This for me is just enough from my xbox series x to my couch. It is made of a nice braided material too. The only downside for this controller is that unfortunately, for any kind of wireless use, you need to use the included Razer HyperSpeed Wireless 2.5ghz USB dongle. My gripe here is that if you lose that USB dongle you will only be able to have a wired controller, as Razer unfortunately does not sell replacement dongle for any of their wireless controllers. I actually reached out to them, and they told me they do not sell replacements. They do sell wireless dongles for some of their other products but not for this wireless controller. So make sure if you do not lose this dongle! Just an FYI, there is no connecting this controller via Bluetooth on Xbox or on Windows PC. Other than that gripe, this is a fantastic controller!

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is hands-down one of the best controllers I’ve used for competitive gaming. Right out of the box, it feels premium—solid build, responsive buttons, and a comfortable grip that holds up during long sessions. The wireless connection is rock-solid with virtually zero latency, and the fast mechanical triggers make a noticeable difference in FPS and action games. What really sets it apart are the six remappable buttons and the customization options via the Razer Controller app. I was able to fine-tune everything from sensitivity to RGB lighting, tailoring the controller to my exact playstyle. Whether I’m on Xbox Series XS or PC, it delivers consistent, tournament-grade performance. If you’re serious about gaming and want a controller that gives you an edge, the Wolverine V3 Pro is absolutely worth it.

Razer jas a track record of less than stellar quality control and software... And sadly the Wolverine Pro V3 is no different. The look and feel is an amazing alternative to the Xbox style controller with rounded edges vs the sharper edges of the traditional Xbox controller. It's not as substantial as the Elite series 2 as far as look and feel, but it is by no means cheap. The hall effects sticks are smooth and precise, but in my case one of the Wolverines I had felt like something was grinding in the left stick. The face buttons, back paddles offer fast actuating mouse style switches, but on both of the controllers I had one or more of these buttons felt loose, which lead to some clicks not registering. Both the Xbox/Windows Razer controller app are finnicky and caused a few issues with customizations and general usage. From the random disconnect to the controller acting erratically on occasion. I would love to recommend the controller, but it's QC issues make it hard too.

God, if this company made 1st party controllers with these features it cannot be better. Besides the Scuf Envision, no one else is offering 6 extra buttons. It just feels nice to reload and switch weapons on an FPS with the 3rd bumpers. And dont get me started on all the machanical buttons. I have a Wolvering V2 Pro for the PS5 and when I saw this, I just knew needed to buy it for Xbox/PC. If youre not going with an Elite or an Edge, this is the only other company you need to buy a controller from. Warranty and quality is there. So no returning your custom controller because you got stick drift or it failed somewhere else. These also have Hall Effect sticks. What's not to love?

Very pricey but excellent controller — the peace of mind of having hall effect joy sticks is worth the price as I had to replace my elite series 2 which developed stick drift after 6 months of use. I don’t think I will need to replace this controller for a long time. It’s accurate, and the response time is fast as heck. Others have complained about dead zone issues but hardly noticeable for me after making adjustments on the app as I believe updates have been made. Love the button placement and clickiness of the bumpers. Noticeably lighter than the elite series 2 controller so fatigue won’t be an issue. Even though lighter, the controller has a very premium feel on par with any high end controller on the market. Can’t say I regret the purchase. Only thing I wish is that the case came with a pass through charger like the elite series 2 but not a huge downside for me.

Right out of the box I was impressed with this controller. It came in premium thick packaging that really makes you feel like you just purchased a high end item, which you did. Even the font on the front of the packaging is reflective and glossy. Very premium looking. Inside you are greeted with a black sturdy case that houses the controller and accessories. The controller joysticks are protected by foam, and then you get the additional thumbsticks, a USB adapter which plugs into your xbox, and there is an additional usb-c cord that is used to actually charge the controller. The controller came with about an 85% charge. So i was able to get right into the gameplay and load up the xbox and test the controller. When you hold the power on button you are greeted by a haptic vibration and a color display on the actual razer logo that actually goes through a few different color options depending on what you are trying to do. Actual gameplay just switches between a rainbow of colors in a breathing motion but you can customize this which brings me to my next section. The whole reason to get this controller or an elite controller is to have the extra buttons to map and customize. You can do that by downloading and installing the free razer app on xbox. It took me only about 5 minutes to setup and customize all the buttons. You can also control and customize the razer color led, the haptic vibration speed, the overall brightness of the lights, a power saver mode, and a few other features. You can also set custom drift joystick features from the app. Overall this is a great controller. Very premium feel. Premium packaging and just a great controller overall with plenty of customization.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro controller is now my favorite controller. I have been using it for over a week on my gaming laptop and it is smooth as butter. The controller comes with a high quality case, a braided USB type C cable, replacement joystick pads, and a USB dongle. All of these items fit nicely in the case. You can choose to connect the controller with the braided cable or via the USB dongle. There is zero lag when it comes to connectivity. I assume this experience cannot be achieved via Bluetooth as that is not a method of connectivity. The buttons on this Razer controller feel awesome! Especially the 4 main buttons. They have a nice click to them that are unlike any controller i have used before. The shoulder buttons feel great in the hands with great snap and pressure. The thumb sticks have the perfect amount of movement and stiffness. There are also hot keys by the lower grips which can be programed and mapped. I have not used this feature yet. I have been using this controller with zero issues so far. It feels great in the hands and performs exceptionally well. The logo lights up, and everything on this controller feels pro.

Good heft and feel. The triggers have a nice feel and the buttons are standard. The claw grip paddles are well placed. Unfortunately, I lose wifi connection often and have had to go wired to play. Battery life seems good, but when it goes, once again the connection is the first thing to go. There is some stick wonkiness. Out of nowhere, my character will start spinning around and I have to reset the console to stop it. Compared to the elite 2 controller, the Razer comes up short

First off, this controller feels amazing. Being able to set my in-game dead zones to zero without having any stick drift is a game changer. The controller feels great in the hand and is super responsive. The rear buttons are perfectly placed and are easy to use. The only two downsides are that the controller is missing Bluetooth (for $200 it should have it) and there is currently no way to update the firmware VIA the Xbox app even though this controller is designed for Xbox. Support stated I need to update the software VIA a PC which I do not have. This is a bummer but I'm sure they will eventually make it possible to update the controller with the Xbox app. Overall the controller is one of the best Xbox controllers I've ever used and has surpassed my expectations. In comparison to the Microsoft Elite Series controllers, this blows them out of the water. If you are on the fence, definitely go ahead and purchase this. You will not be disappointed.

The Wolverine V3 Pro is a fantastic controller. The build quality is excellent, the buttons and paddles feel premium, and the battery life is impressive. I’ve noticed a very occasional issue with the wireless connection—once in a while, it will disconnect for a couple of seconds and then reconnect. I’m not sure if it’s due to interference or just a minor glitch, but it hasn’t been a dealbreaker. Wired mode works flawlessly. Over the past three years, I’ve gone through two Xbox Elite controllers, both plagued by stick drift and broken bumpers. I’ve had zero physical issues with the Wolverine V3 Pro so far. I’ve already recommended it to several friends who are frustrated with their Elite controllers—and I’ll keep doing so.

Great feel. Triggers are perfect for my fingers. Mouse click buttons are very responsive. It is a better build in my opinion than the series elite 2. Would definitely recommend.

I have been waiting for a long time and have searched exhaustively for a 3rd party alternative to the Microsoft Elite series controller for the XBOX Series X. My wait appears to be finally over. With only a few minor things I don't really like about the Razer V3 Pro, for the most part I love this controller. Premium build quality and performance, clicky/tactile buttons, hall effect sticks that are complete perfection, seamless integration into the XBOX eco system by way of a plug and play dongle that works instantly, and a decent enough app experience with enough customization to make for a completely enjoyable gaming experience. For too long the XBOX gaming community has been stuck with the poorly built and unreliable Elite Series controllers. This is your answer to those issues. My only negative mentions would be the back button positioning. I find that the bottom most back button especially is in such an awkward location that I have had to just not have it mapped to anything because I would press it on accident by merely gripping the controller. If they don't change the positioning with the next iteration, at least give the option to lock out the back buttons completely so as to not have this mistake occur. Secondly, when the controller is plugged in and charging, the lighting will pulse for a couple moments, but then it will go out completely. So you really don't have any indication of it still charging or when it is completely charged. Having the lighting affect continue to pulse at it's charging and then go solid when fully charged seems to be such a simple thing that could have offered. Maybe this can be a thing added through firmware or something. All in all, minor things that in no way alter the great experience! We finally can tell Microsoft where to go with their terrible controllers that have stick drift out of the box!! Thank you Razer!!

So I was taught that if you had nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. I stopped typing and went back to the controller and tried using it with a few other games other than usual first person shooter. Yeah, I still don't like it that much. My situation is that this thing is too small. Smaller than a standard controller. Why would they (Razer) make it smaller? Button feel okay but I just can't get over the size of this thing. About ten minutes into holding it in my hand my fingers started to hurt and it became a task to keep playing anything with it. If Razer makes a larger version I would definitely buy it. Right now I would not recommend picking this up unless you have small hands. Left stick drifts and the right one gets stuck every now and then which didn't add anything positive to my experience. No surprise there at this point. This is a nice swing but a miss non the less. A firmware update might help the drifting issue but I don't see ho that will fix the stickiness of the other stick. Hopefully others have better luck with the units they received.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is easily the best controller I’ve used. It feels perfect in my hands — solid, comfortable, and built for long sessions. The responsiveness is insane, every input feels instant and sharp. Setup through Razer Synapse is quick and easy, with just the right amount of customization. The Hall effect thumbsticks are next-level — easy to calibrate, ultra-smooth, and insanely accurate. No drift, no drama. The clicky buttons are super satisfying and make a real difference in fast-paced games. I only use this on my PC (no Xbox here), and it’s been a total game-changer. If you want serious performance, this is the controller to get.

So far an excellent controller. Still disappointed that there are a few older games it is not compatible with but that may just be steam itself. All that aside. Works great for all the games I use it for so for. Quick reaction times. Great feel in the hands. For a hard core gamer it definitely works.

The Razer V3 is a beautifully well packaged and designed controller that allows you to break free from the wired chains that bind you all without sacrificing responsiveness. The high speed USB dongle and hall effect controls make this a fast re-action controller with little to no input lag. If your looking to gain the extra edge in competitive gaming then look no further. The Razer V3 comes out of the box with everything you need to get you started including a carrying case and two interchangeable pads for the stick controls. Connection can be done both through a usb-c wire and through the wireless USB drive. Through the free downloadable app you can map just about every single component on the controller. Both left and right trigger pads come with lockouts so you can change the trigger pull giving you the competitive edge for FPS. The center Razer logo also lights up and has changeable RGB lighting. Wireless power yielded about roughly 12 hours of game time, which is on the weak side in my opinion. So let's get in to the meat of the reason why your choosing to buy this and that is the responsiveness of your input and ability to map out different buttons. The biggest issue I have always had with wireless controllers is the interference I get from other wireless signals which almost always results in drop outs or major input lag resulting in losses for me. That is not the case here, the high speed wireless dongle insures a sound and very fast connection resulting in a roughly 1ms input time. The trigger paddle placements are so well placed that my M5 and M3 paddles require a slight twitch from my fingers in order to activate them. Never once did I accidentally trigger them but when prompted, slight contact insured fast action from whatever command was set . I do like having the extra m1 and m2 buttons next to my LB and RB pads as this gives me more space to map my utility commands for games like Cod or counter strike. The hepatic feature also can be adjusted through app limiting the amount of intensity or vibration you wish to feel. All in all this is a great gaming controller to have and while by all appearances it seems this is a standard gaming controller where this unit really shined for me was its wireless feed. I was very impressed with the responsiveness I got from my input commands when in wireless mode. Ya the hall effect sensors help add to that but honestly I didn't really notice that big of a difference other than the fact that I had little to no lag. Given the price point this unit comes in at I think this is a very fair trade off for everything your getting with this controller

Great placement of macro buttons, lots of customization options. You can adjust the macro buttons on the fly. There is some quality control issues with some having stick drift out of the box. I lucked out. This controller is replacing my wolverine V2 chroma. The bottom button placement is much better in comparison. This controller is expensive expensive, but it is cheaper than a scuf and a scuf will only last you a few months until it has drift.

Quite literally the pinnacle of controller engineering in my opinion. Hit every requirement that I had in mind when getting a new (endgame) controller. I have a friend who would burn through about 1-2 controllers a YEAR before getting stick drift. Not wanting to go down the same path with a bunch of wasted money I got this controller. My must-haves were this: Hall effect joysticks and triggers Wireless (with at least a halfway decent battery life) Compatible with Xbox and PC Length of life justifies cost Other things that were nice to have but not required were... Trigger locks High-ish polling rate but not too high to give my CPU a stroke Haptics I saw that this controller hit every mark but was on the expensive side. After a bunch of looking for other controllers that could have worked but had other trade-offs (wired, long-term reliability issues, low battery life, etc.) I just bit the bullet and got this one. It is all that it was advertised as. It's got a premium sturdy feel to it. Doesn't flex, rattle or squeak and I'm not sure what everyone else means by "feels cheap". All the buttons including the joystick ones are great and never given me an issue. Had to do a firmware update when I first unboxed it but it worked perfectly after and never had to do another one since. I loved how it came with a travel case with slots and nets to hold everything you'll need inside (dongle, cable, controller and other thumbstick caps). I would say just take the leap and get it. I could go on and on about how perfect this thing it but I think you get the point... However two little tiny things that I did want to mention was this: 1) Travel case is not a hard case (rigid) and with the tall thumbstick cap it can push that button in quite easily. Not great long term if in a cramped/squished space (such as in your backpack) but not the end of the world. 2) D-Pad took a little getting used to as it feels a lot different/smoother and more sensitive than an OEM Xbox controller.
