Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition Wired Xbox Gaming Controller, Black

This is the best replacement for the Elite Series 2 controller. I hated so my aspects of the ES2, but I could never find a controller that beat the good aspects of it, until this controller. The profile switching, wired connection, and loss of a mid setting on the triggers are slight cons, but everything else is great. The plastic material feels better than the ES2's cheap rubber grips, the back buttons are perfectly placed to mimic the ES2 paddles, hall effect joysticks should never get stick drift, the mouse click buttons are super satisfying, and the claw buttons are a nice addition if you have long enouh fingers or play claw to get use out of them. All of that, plus it is a fraction of the ES2's price. I use to get drift on the ES2 after just a few months and replace the controller every year, but I don't foresee needing to replace this controller as often if at all, and even if I do need to replace it, I won't be spending half of the price of the console itself just for a controller. I have tested multiple other controllers, and this one has by far been my favorite. I highly recommend it.

The razer wolverine series have always been my go to for xbox controllers. The extra buttons on top have always been perfect for me as i dont like the paddles on other controllers. (I only ever need 2 buttons mapped melee and spot usally depending on game). The previous versions of this controller have all gotten the same issue where after about a year, the a button registers multiple presses each time. So i took a chance after the v2 and got this v3. I am loving it so far. The buttons have a matte finish so they are not that smooth plastic of the old ones and feels much better to press and use. It feels more light weight and even tho i dont use them, it had 4 paddles along with the 2 extra buttons on top. Each button feels like a mouse click and when you use the slider to stop the triggers half way it sounds like a mouse click even. (It seems to be much faster to register triger pushes in this mode vs the last models and enables much faster semi auto firing if needed). Its been about a couple of months with no issues and no complaints. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent priced better than default controller. I dont know how it stacks for other pro controllers, but as someone who games for hours with fps, fighting, rpg, racing, every type of game, i would always recommend it. Will update if there are issues down the line.

This controller has got a lot going for it, feels great in every way, I was used to dual rear paddles, but adapted quickly to 4 and stopped using front buttons completely. And the trigger locks have upped my game considerably, but it’s all for naught since this controller has some serious reliability flaws on PC. I play hours of competitive pvp daily and this controller will work fine for about a week or two before it starts exhibiting serious issues. 1st controller: worked solid for about two weeks before the haptic feedback would suddenly jump to max and keep vibrating excessively while jerking my aim in random directions, have to fight the stick to get it back on target and unplug the controller and replug it to stop the excessive vibrating. The issue is progressive, it started happening once every couple of days and slowly progressed until it was happening several times a match, totally unacceptable. I returned it for a replacement which was solid for about a week then suddenly began disconnecting in the middle of a match, constantly… I had about 10 disconnected controller errors in a 15 minute period. This was not a physical wire connection issue as others have had, pressing any button would immediately get the controller working and the error would go away until the next one popped up. Both controllers also have some stick drift on the left stick out of the box when set to 3% dead zone, but not terrible. Flicking the stick causes it to reset properly and stop drifting, my 2nd controller has the least drift. Setting the zone to 0% causes a lot of drift, so I keep it at 3%. In comparison, my gamesir T4 had zero drift with 0% dead zone, it took 7 months of daily use to cause just a tiny bit of drift at 0%, unfortunately the back buttons do not last and begin sticking after constant use, which led me to the Razer controller. I paid full price for the razer and did not get a free one, so this is my honest review of a $100 controller with serious glitches. Great packaging and premium feel (when it works.) amazon won’t give me a 3rd replacement, so I’ll just have to return for a refund, which is too bad because I really like this controller, but I can’t be out $100 for something that is giving me these kinds of problems when controllers for less than half the price don’t have these kinds of issues. I would steer clear; you can google the issues above and find that many people are having similar problems with this controller. One other issue I had with this controller on PC is that my keyboard and mouse will not work in game while this controller is connected. This prevents being able to utilize any sort of chat function or alternative control of your character while the controller inevitably glitches out. Even going into windowed mode to try and do something on the desktop while the game runs keeps my mouse function locked out, I have to ctrl+alt+delete to get it back. I've never encountered this issue with any other controller on PC. Also, as others have pointed out, the USB-C connection on this controller is as cheap as they come. It's the only physical part of the controller that feels like complete junk, it disconnects easily and wiggles under the weight of the cable right out of the box. Terrible oversight considering this is a wired only controller. If you're set on taking on the challenge of owning this controller, I would seriously suggest using a Mag safe usb-c style connection adapter so that you can minimize wear on the port. *Update* I had to downgrade my rating from 3 stars to 1 star. I thought I had been able to address the random disconnect error by using Xbox polling mode (250Mhz) instead of PC mode (1000mhz), this actually stopped the random d/c errors, and I was willing to use 250hz for reliability. However, a new problem entirely has emerged; the controller now just shuts itself off completely in the middle of a game. Pressing any button does nothing to turn it back on. I have to disconnect it from the PC and reconnect, then press the Xbox button repeatedly-almost like I'm giving the dumb thing CPR to get to 'come back to life.' A few times I thought it was dead completely because it didn't respond after repeated attempts, but it eventually comes back on, absolutely ridiculous. It's already cost me a competitive match, such unreliable junk unworthy of "Tournament" anywhere in its name. It's really unfortunate, because the Razer design team did a fantastic job on this controller, if only the hardware and software team were as good. Because for whatever reason, this controller is determined to misbehave no matter what you do to try to make it work. And I see this is a common theme across many of Razer's devices.

I have complete, mixed feelings about this controller. Out of the box, it worked amazingly well. I am a rhythm gamer, specifically on Fortnite Festival. I used the controller's instant triggers and beat my high score on Through the Fire and Flames. However, about 2, maybe 3 weeks after it came fresh from the box, I started to hit a MAJOR issue and I think I'm the first to get this. If the controller has been vibrating for a long time, for example when hitting "perfect" notes in Festival, the controller's input will lag and you will feel a physical reaction in the rumble motors, almost like a stall. It's enough to ruin an intense combo, hence why I'll be returning this product. If this glitch didn't exist, I would highly recommend the controller. I heavily enjoy the triggers as well as the remapping capabilities. However, do keep in mind this controller seems to be giving everyone some kind of issue, whether it's a bad cable port or extra inputs. As horrible as my issue was, I won't give it a 1 star, simply because the issue was more or less fixed with turning off the vibration; but at that point, just get the 8k TE as it has slightly better stats at the expense of no vibration.

The Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition is a nice step up from the previous model. The underside button placement is much better and the buttons feel built to last. And those two extra buttons on the top are MONEY! I’ve had no drift at all on the sticks and after continuous daily use there are no signs of wear and tear on the buttons. One drawback is the USB connection. The cable plugs straight out the back without support, and mine started disconnecting from getting bumped. I added a 90-degree adapter and that solved the issue. I still wish it had replaceable thumb sticks in different heights, but extenders do the trick. Overall, it is a durable, responsive controller that feels great once you work around the USB port design. Beats the previous version and the elite controller hands down.

The one downside for wired specifically is that the cable is a nice quality cable but hefty and feels like is weighs the controller down, like u can feel the torque it applies. But maybe I’m just used to wireless, but still I’d strongly recommend spending the extra for wireless. Also the unplug replug problem I mention below isn’t an issue on the wireless. It’s a great feeling controller. Mechanical buttons are fantastic. The triggers are mechanical when you switch from trigger to button mode and They feel amazing in the mode. Updating is a nightmare but haven’t had to do it since the first time. If I remember correctly, u need to disconnect controller and start the software first and then follow the instructions to the letter. Software otherwise is fine, works ok. A lot of the time u have to unplug and replug the controller when opening software if it’s already plugged in. I returned it and swapped for the wireless but honestly they are identical besides one is wireless. I wouldn’t be surprised if they both have wireless but one has it disabled inside.

After using Xbox Elite controllers for years, I can say this Razer is 2 steps ahead! Buttons click very satisfying, triggers are great too, as well as vibration. Great size, shape and weight! Before I ordered, I saw a couple reviews that it's small for larger hands, - I disagree, If Xbox controller is a good size for you, this one is going to be as good. So far I've used it only on PC, but I guess it's the one I'll be using for GTA6 on Xbox this fall ;)) No complaints at all. Hope it keeps working without issues for as long as possible.

I’ve been a HUGE advocate for the Gamesir G7 SE. At $45 you get Hall effect sticks and two VERY slick paddles and a super nice controller shape that helps you really own the right stick as you aim. The only problem with the Gamesir is the lack of extra paddles. I’ve always been a 4 paddle guy, so being limited to 2 sucks. However when looking at this Razer controller, they advertised SIX paddles, a paddle redesign, mouse click triggers, and 1000 pull rate. Here’s my experience after a month of use: The buttons feel great, the trigger reallly is mouse click and they feel awesome, and the paddles are expertly designed. It’s by far the best 4 paddle configuration I have ever felt. The Hall effect was great too. The negatives is that the 1000 pull rate is pretty trash. From testing, the controller goes from 750 pull rate when you stop sending signals up to 950 once you start doing inputs. And once you stop it rests back to 750. It is so bad to have the controller jiggle between pull rates. It’s literally alternating the response time. I was willing to overlook this though, I was also willing to overlook how fat the controller felt in my hand, making it awkward to use the controller with kontrol freeks. What I was not willing to overlook is the fact that the damn USB port became spotty. After just 1 month of use, the controller would disconnect if I slightly touch the cable, or even just playing the game would cause it to unplug. The constant 1 second disconnects is a complete dealbreaker when you’re using a controller competitively. I had this same problem with every Elite controller I used in wired mode, and my Gamesir has never ran into this problem, even after a year of use. So either I got a bad batch, or the controller is just a sturdy USB port away from being a T3 controller in the market. TLDR; Advertised features are great and best inline, but the usb port stopped working consistently after a month of use. The controller disconnects and reconnects after any slight touch.

Received product and box was already opened. Not sure if device has already been used

Llevo ya un año con el control y todo marcha en orden, se siente la calidad y los botones son muy cómodos al igual que el agarre, el único inconveniente es que el cable del que se conecta a veces no detecta y se apaga el control en cierto ángulos o si lo dejas en la cama, lo que lo hace un poco frustrante (pero podría ser simplemente problema de mi mando en particular). Un control totalmente recomendado si eres de jugar muchas horas y mucho tiempo durante tu día a dia

Joypad cablato pagato 80€ ma dal valore nettamente superiore. Avendo già un élite serie 2 posso dire che sicuramente risulta più leggero e meno curato nei materiali ma non per tutti è un minus… ma a livello di tasti e analogici è davvero top! I tasti hanno lo stesso feedback del mouse… utili i tasti extra. Per quel prezzo vale devvero rispetto ad un joypad Xbox 👍

Produto chegou sem avarias. Funcionando perfeitamente. Uma excelente opção de controle pra Pc. Para Xbox, acredito que tenham opçoes sem fio na mesma faixa de preço (gamesir G7 pro)

Quería un control de lo mejor, algo que realmente ofreciera una experiencia de juego superior, y este superó mis expectativas. Desde el momento en que lo saqué de la caja se nota la calidad: los materiales son premium, el agarre es cómodo y se siente firme y resistente, nada de sensaciones baratas. Los botones traseros son uno de sus mejores aciertos. Al principio no sabía cuánto los iba a aprovechar, pero ahora son parte de mi forma de jugar. Son fáciles de configurar, responden perfecto y te ayudan mucho en juegos que requieren rapidez o accesos más cómodos. En resumen, si buscas un control de gama alta, bien construido y con funciones que realmente mejoran el gameplay, este es una opción que no decepciona. Muy satisfecho con la compra.
