Tattoo Dave –
I REALLY LIKE this controller. As a left handed gamer, I’m used to having to use third party controllers and mice to game, and since companies like Scuf and Razer have been making controllers with extra remappable buttons, I’ve been using them. In the past, I’ve used the Razer Sabertooth and Wildcat for PC gaming, and though both were better than the stock Xbox controller, neither was quite right for me.The Sabertooth and Wildcat both had the same problem for me – the extra triggers on the bottom protruded too far and were placed awkwardly for my hands, and the hard plastic grips eventually caused hand fatigue. (I’m a professional tattooist who games a lot when not working, so hand strain and fatigue are a constant issue for me. Basically, my hands never get a break, and after a week of work, holding a controller on my day off can be actively painful).So, this time out, they got everything right. The old removable triggers on the bottom of the controller have been replaced with textured buttons that rest exactly where my fingers lie, and the hand grips are rubberized, extremely comfortable, and feel slightly more ergonomic than before. The face buttons are a little tighter in the controller as well, and the slight rattling they used to produce on previous Razer controllers is gone.Long story short, this thing is a joy to use. I can use all four under-buttons without having to shift my hand awkwardly (a first for me on any controller, and I’ve used most or all of the ones Razer has made, The Microsoft Xbox Elite, and a few Scuf controllers). The sticks feel right, and the grips feel perfect. In fact, what prompted me to write this review is I’ve been sitting on my day off gaming, which normally means I start with sore hands from the day before, and can play until they get too cramped and I have to stop. I started out that way today, and just realized my hands feel better late in the day than they did this morning, which tells me I’m not straining them at all using this thing. That’s never happened before.Also, the app you can download to PC is a nice touch. It’s easy to use and lets you completely tweak the controller, down to the lighting and level of vibration you want. I’m used to the “hold the Map button, then hold the bonus key while pressing the button you want to change the buttons” thing that feels like you need 3 hands to do it, but having the ability to set the whole controller up while it sits on your lap is great.I can’t rate this thing highly enough. Well done, guys. Now make one like this I can use on my PS4!

I bought the Razer Wolverine Ultimate Chroma Controller back in January 2018 and it is still my main controller for XBOX. I specifically wanted a wired controller because I have a habit of letting the batteries die and during long play sessions, having to disconnect from party, change controllers or plug in mid game is annoying. I play at my desk on a monitor, so I have no need for wireless, and have gone through many standard controllers to warrant the need for something more durable. The wire is long enough though to reach your couch.I did think about the Elite Controller but I was worried about the overall build and materials, and the prices were jacked up since it was sold out for a long time. I ended up going with the Wolverine Ultimate and after almost a year of some serious gaming, it still looks and feels like the first day I got it.Over build is excellent! I’ve taken good care of it and it doesn’t leave my desk. The rage IS real and so far has overcome. The Metal triggers and bumpers are still in good condition after a year of use. A difference between the standard controllers which after some long use, my right bumper would always be worn in and hard to feel the response. The joysticks are also very durable and still have that grip that would usually be worn in and or torn on the standard controllers. I like the rounded tip as my left joystick and have no issues with the joysticks ever falling out. I use the button D pad instead of the +. No issues with that popping out either. There is a HUGE difference in the ABXY buttons compared to the standards. They really do feel like mouse clicks almost. I really like this but at first touch I was skeptic. They react and respond quicker, doesn’t have that squishy feel. I did own one of the new premium controllers and like the standards, after a few weeks of use, the A button would get stuck. (GTA5/RD2). The Wolverine Ultimate really nailed it with the durability after a year of use. All mechanicals working like I first bought it.Although the price might be high, I think this product pays for itself. I would go through 2 fresh controllers a year to have them unusable. And they’re on average $55+ not including the battery pack. I think this controller can go through more years before showing any wear or tear. According to their website, my one year of use really backs all that negative testing they did with the controller. If something were to happen with mine in the future, I most certainly be considering buying The Wolverine Ultimate Chroma Controller again.Side Note:RGB color is sick! The case is super premium. The App works well and not hard to navigate.The X logo home button is slightly crooked when I first got it, but I couldn’t let that stupid cosmetic error justify a star.

Ok, let’s pro/con this product. As with all products, there are good and bad points to them all.Pros:- wired means no more batteries dying mid game- 2 additional buttons over the Elite controller (works great for Monster Hunter World)- M3-M6 buttons feel more Naturally placed than the Elite paddles.- ABXY buttons are more responsive and feel more like a mouse click.- Controller feels lighter due to the absence of a battery pack.- Cord is a durable, Nylon braid, and has a breakaway feature to avoid accidentally pulling your system off the shelf (or kids tripping over the cord).- Synapse software is easy to use, and the controller can store multiple profiles for several users or games, with quick switching enabled with the touch of a button.- No more fumbling to mute you’re mic with on board mute button- Switching between game and party chat volume levels is as easy as holding the volume button and pressing left or right on the D-pad, no more going into the xbox menu. This can be a life saver when you need to talk to a Party member or hear some boss fight details and need to do it fast.- On the fly button remapping is simple and quick with the remapping button on the controller, without having to go into the software and wasting time.- 10 ft cable gives you plenty of distance between your TV and couch/chair.- The color system (CHROMA) can be set to a number of modes and colors, making it ideal for any situation, and can be set up different for each profile.- Thumbsticks move more fluid and feel more responsive than the stock or elite controllers.- Button placement. The M1 and M2 buttons I feared would be more in the way than useful, but was I wrong. With Monster Hunter, it was always a pain to cycle through my quickbar to use an item. The Wolverine allows me to remap M1 and M2 to the left and right d pad controls so I can swap items without halting my attacks.- Swappable Dpad and Tilt pad designs are easy to change and both are quite responsive. No more rubber below the buttons means fast response time, and no degraded functionality over time.Cons- Wired cord means restricted sitting distance. This can be solved with a USB extension cord or MIDI extension cable, but out of the box you only get a 10 ft reach.As you can see, I don’t really have any real cons for this product. I am ecstatic about it and love my new controller.

I really like this controller. I used to use an elite 2 controller but stick drift was getting worse so I decided to give this a try as I heard good things. I’m glad I did as I like this way more than the elite 2. don’t get me wrong, the elite 2 is nice but once you get used to buttons over paddles this just feels better. Buttons feel nice and I don’t worry about breaking them like paddles and the extra buttons next to the bumpers on top are awesome. Takes a little getting used to but if you play FPS games it is worth it. Only issue was the right trigger was getting stuck out of the box but I accidently dropped it once and for whatever reason that fixed the issue. Don’t recommend that solution but hey, it worked. outside of that I’ve been using it for a while now and it has a little stick drift but that is only if I turn my deadzones all the way down and lets be honest, stick drift is unavoidable no matter what controller you use. long story short if you have the money this is the best high end controller you can buy in this price range.

I have owned a SCUF One, the Microsoft Elite Contoller, and now the Razer Wolverine Ultimate and I can honestly say this has become my favorite controller.I cannot speak bad about the SCUF other than the fact my paddles kept breaking and I had to replace them often. It wasn’t major, but it was annoying. Even still, the SCUF ranks better than the Elite being that I had it for over 2 years with HEAVY use (Destiny, Halo 5) and the only issue was the paddles breaking over time.The reason I upgraded to the Elite is because I wanted to move from 2 paddles to 4. The Elite fit the bill, and I did not have to wait for my controller to be made, I was able to hit a local GameStop and pick one up that day.Initially I was excited, but I’ve had pretty much every known problem with my Elite. My left bumper broke (search for elite bumper repair kit—-its so common that multiple sellers have repair kits for the bumpers!), my sticks became very loose (inexcusable considering I had the SCUF more than twice as long and never experienced that issue), and the grip panels on the controller began to peel—so annoying that I finally just removed them altogether. I bought the controller in april of 2017 and while it was still usable when I purchased the Razer in Jan ‘18, I would NOT say the quality was at all worth the price tag. The SCUF FAR surpassed the Elite in this category.Now for the Wolverine Ultimate.So far I can tell you that this is my favorite controller. I can’t speak for the durability or quality over time yet, but the controller FEELS like it’s actually going to last. I will update my review at different intervals and update on this.The buttons are super responsive (light touches to the ABXY buttons will active them), and they feel more like a mouse click than the squishy feeling you get from the regular Xbox controllers (Elite and even SCUF included being that it uses the body of a regular one controller)The hair triggers work as well or better than the offering on the Elite, and I do prefer them over the Hair Trigger Lock system my SCUF One used. I’m not sure if Scuf has made improvements in this area with their newer controller (Infinity?) but even the Elite controller was preferable to what was on my Scuf. The Wolverine pretty much exactly the way the Elite does, and it does decrease the trigger travel a great deal.NOTE: I did NOT have issues with the hair triggers being a problem like I did with my Scuf and even elite (I had to calibrate the triggers being in hair trigger mode using the software on Xbox). So far I have played PUBG and Halo 5. Some games need the trigger to travel more than some hair trigger systems allow to register (thus it needing to be calibrated for the Elite—no option for this on the SCUF OR Wolverine). Once again, though, I have had no issue with the Wolverine not registering on a game yet.The top paddles I thought would be an adjustment—but other than retraining my brain, they are very easy and “natural” to use. The bottom 4 are excellently placed and are quite easy to access using your middle and ring ringers, eliminating the need for your fingers to ever leave the sticks. I have opted to use the default buttton mapping (X and Y On left and right top paddles, A and B on the first 2 of 4 bottom paddles, and the using the bottom left paddle for FOCUS And the bottom right for AGILE).I’m not going to explain to you what FOCUS and AGILE do because that’s available to you elsewhere, just know that once you get used to the controller and the idea of having it—it is a game changer! More precision or speed as you need it at your fingertips? Yes please.If you’re alrwady considering this controller this should be a sign that you should give it a try.I decided to because I used a Razer copperhead Mouse when I PC gamed back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth (Quake 2), and was always very happy with it. I’m glad I decided to try the Wolverine, it has not disappointed yet.Edit—August 25th 2020—I am STILL using the controller. One paddle has stopped working, but it’s a minor inconvenience. I’m still incredibly happy with my purchase nearly 3 years later!

I have been regularly playing Xbox and PC games on a daily basis for years, and have been through half a dozen Microsoft Xbox controllers over the years through wear-and-tear – I do not throw, drop, or similarly treat my controllers, and yet I’ve had to deal with broken triggers, mushy buttons, loose battery compartments, joystick drift, etc. Given that the Xbox One controllers from Microsoft are a pain to pair with PC despite having Bluetooth, have terrible build quality and longevity, and still cost $60-80, I decided to give the Razer Wolverine Ultimate a try. I considered the Microsoft Elite Controller, but I’ve had many friends complain to me about joystick drift, rubber coating falling off, bad battery life, etc. with those controllers as well, which shifted me towards the Razer instead. After about a month of ownership, here are my takes on this controller versus those produced by Microsoft:PROS:- Build quality is incredible. I’ve had Razer peripherals before (I use a Razer Blade Advanced 15″ and a Blackwidow V2) and have always been impressed with the materials and build quality, and this controller is no exception. It comes with a good quality carrying case, a nice braided cable, it has a great textured coating and has some heft to it compared with the Xbox controllers. Yes, it’s corded (which I prefer, because I don’t have to deal with batteries/charging, disconnecting, loose battery compartments, etc), but the entire controller is very evidently made of high-quality plastic and metal components and just feels amazing.- Appearance: To my eyes, it looks fantastic. The Chroma lighting strip looks awesome and is customizable, and switches based on controller profile (more on that later), and the silver triggers and subtle Xbox button just look awesome. Look at the photos and form your own opinion, but I think in person it looks fantastic and surprisingly subtle and high-end.- Features: The highlights here include 6x remappable additional buttons (one by each set of triggers and bumpers, and two on each side on the back of the controller under the battery compartment). They all click well, are easy to find and reach naturally, and provide a TON of utility. It also has trigger locks, which shorten the trigger pull on the triggers significantly with a mechanical stop and are hugely helpful in shooter games. I use the two extra buttons by the bumpers and the trigger locks almost constantly for Elder Scrolls: Online, Rocket League, Warzone, and a whole host of other games, and I can already definitively say that I could never go without them now – they honestly have a MASSIVE impact on your gaming experience. There are also buttons on the controller for swapping profiles, mic muting, a re-map button, and a sound button that lets you adjust both master volume level and gamechat balance. The joysticks are also removable and can be swapped out for the included taller/convex joystick, or swapped easily with each other to reduce uneven wear. There are two different included D-pads which can be swapped – I love the one with 4 individual buttons vs the cross design and think it is loads better than the normal Xbox controller “cross” design. You can also adjust the vibrations motor intensity in 4 different regions on the controller, which is great for reducing or increasing the vibration sensitivity depending on the game you are playing.- Software: Synapse on Xbox works shockingly well and lets you remap the additional buttons to any other button on the controller (i.e. I have left on the d-pad assigned to the left side macro button, and right stick click mapped to the right side macro button), as well as “agility” and “accuracy” settings which reduce or increase the look/movement speed sensitivity when either held or toggled, which is a pretty cool feature. You can assign two different profiles to the controller itself, and can toggle between them using a button on the controller – these profiles each have their own RGB lighting settings, joystick sensitivities, macro button mapping, vibration levels in different areas of the controller, etc – a blue/green LED on the controller informs you of which profile you are currently using.CONS:- Wired: As I mentioned, this is a wired controller, which I actually prefer but obviously many people will see this as an inconvenience. The only upside is the nice long braided cable with a breakaway section in case someone trips on it or similarly pulls on it.- No adjustable joystick or trigger tension settings: The trigger locks are either on or off and shorten the stroke of the trigger pull, but don’t actually have adjustable tension or stroke. The joysticks do not have any adjustable tension, but they do have adjustable sensitivities in the Synapse app.- Included Joysticks: This one doesn’t annoy me because I love the default joysticks, but the controller only comes with one taller joystick and one convex joystick to swap out, rather than two of each.Overall Take: I personally love this controller! It’s perfect for my needs, it’s an order of magnitude better for more intense/hardcore gaming than a regular Xbox One controller with some excellent added functionality, and it has significantly better build quality. Given my experiences with previous Microsoft and Razer products, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this controller over either the Xbox One controller or the Xbox Elite controller – it’s loads better than the base controller and (in my opinion) better designed and more reliable than the Elite Controller, which has a TERRIBLE online reputation for reliability and durability. If you are looking for a controller that is reliable, high-quality, and loaded with mechanical/software features, and can deal with the fact that the controller is corded, this is the controller for you.

I play mainly shooters on my Xbox One so I’m always looking for the best controller for me. Didn’t want a Scuf as the price started get close to the $200 mark with the options I chose and shipping costs. I already own a Elite controller and it’s better than the standard controller but I wasn’t fully satisfied. Never got comfortable with the paddle placement on the back so I ended up removing them entirely. I see reviews for the Razer Wolverine and purchased immediately. Just opening the box you can tell it’s a quality product. The build quality is top notch and it should last for some time. Feels great in the hand and I have zero issues with the extra button placement. Haven’t hit them accidentally yet. Downloaded the Synapse app from the Xbox store and changing buttons and lightning is a breeze. The cord is very long (12ft) if I was to estimate and braided. Very well worth the price in my opinion

My boyfriend had always wanted an Xbox controller with the back paddles, so I got him this one as a gift. I thought it was cooler and seemed like better quality than the Xbox Elite controllers, and not to mention cheaper too! When it came, I took it out of the box just to check it out before giving it to him, and I was honestly so impressed with it. It’s sturdy, the buttons click instead of a press, which makes it easier to click them faster over and over again. The joy sticks are sturdy as well, and come with two different ones, which is good Incase one breaks. And it comes with a nice case! And furthermore, my boyfriend lovessss this controller. He says it helps him play better, and he loves everything about the controller. So coming from a person who didn’t use the controller, and a person who does use the controller: we both give it a 10/10 highly recommend.

I have an Elite controller, but when I saw the Razer, I had to try it. I use Razer products on my PC and I’ve always loved them, and it looked like this one might solve my problem with the Elite’s paddles–apparently I can’t quit triggering them accidentally. I ended up taking them all off and just adding one when I really needed it, but that felt like a waste.The Razer works well. The action feels a little bit better than the Elite to me, and the paddle design solved my problem–I never hit them by accident and get quite a bit of use out of them now. The software recognized the controller with no problem, and I have customized settings for nearly every game. The cord isn’t super long, but it’s more than long enough for my purposes since my setup is in a relatively small space. On the one hand, corded controllers are a bit of a bummer; on the other hand, I never have to replace or charge batteries.I purchased it eight months ago, and it still works perfectly after near-daily use (and a ton of weekend marathons). My only issue is that when I switch from the TV speakers to a headset, I have to shut off the controller and let it come back on before it will start routing the sound through the headphones. It’s a tiny quibble and only takes maybe 20 seconds to reboot, but it is a bit annoying.

This controller is a game changer especially for fps games or action mmo games. You can change back paddles on the fly as well as the 2 extra bumpers on top. All the buttons are placed perfectly so i have a finger on all buttons at all times i never have to take my thumb off the sticks. If i had to find something to gripe about the ABXY buttons feel like really sensitive mouse clicks and sometimes you cant tell if you actuated the buttons or not. The “traditional” style d-pad does not work well sometimes and messes up with to many clicks or not enough or presses a direction you did not want. But the other d-pad worked flawlessly. The controller does not work with razer software on PC i think because it has something to do with xbox licencing but there is no real need for synapse anyway. im a big razer fan and some of their latest products have been really dissapointing but this controller does not dissapoint so far.
