Roundup: The Reviews Are In For Razer’s ‘Wolverine V3 Pro’ Wireless Xbox Controller
Today marks the arrival of Razer’s new wireless ‘Wolverine V3 Pro’ controller for Xbox Series X|S and PC. It’ll set you back $199.99 / £199.99 (or the regional equivalent) and comes with four mouse click back paddles, two claw grip bumpers, pro hypertriggers and hall effect precision thumbsticks.
If you’re wondering how this one handles, the first batch of reviews have now gone live. So here’s a round up of the impressions so far, starting off with Windows Central which summed it up as the closet thing to “perfection” and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars:
“Razer has finally made a wireless controller for the Xbox and overall it’s absolutely brilliant. Combining the best aspects of previous Wolverine controllers, Razer has updated it for the present day with its excellent mouse switch technology, hall effect sticks and an ergonomic design that I would argue is better even than Microsoft’s own.”
GameSpot thought it was better than the previous Wolverine Xbox controllers and performed better in certain areas compared to the Elite Series 2:
“The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is a competitive controller that’s difficult to knock in any area. The Elite Series 2 has more physical customization options, Bluetooth support, better battery life, and remains unrivaled when it comes to general feel–there’s just something about the weightiness of the Elite Series 2 that makes it hard to beat. That said, the V3 Pro has superior analog sticks, buttons, remappable rear triggers, and comparable software customization features.”
CGMagazine also had high praise, awarding it 9 out of 10:
“The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is an excellent update to the Pro controller line. Responding to much of the critique given the V2 Pro release, Razer has taken the feedback seriously and created an excellent Controller in the Wolverine V3 Pro.”
COG Connected labelled it the new “Gold Standard”, awarding it a perfect 100:
“The inputs are responsive, the buttons feel amazing, and the weight is basically perfect. Plus, it’s got a proper rechargeable battery and a host of pro-friendly features…If you’re looking for your next top-tier gaming controller, Razer’s Wolverine V3 Pro should be first on your list.”
And TechRadar Gaming said it was a “must-have premium Xbox controller”, giving it 5 out of 5 stars:
“The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is easily one of the best Xbox controllers (and best PC controllers) on the market right now.”
