Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition Wired Gaming Controller, Black

I’ve been using the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition for a while now, and overall, it’s a stellar controller. The accuracy is top-notch, and the general build quality feels premium and solid. The added paddles are honestly a game-changer and feel fantastic to use during fast-paced play. That said, there are a couple of things you should be aware of. The button triggers feel a bit "squishy" compared to other controllers I’ve used in the past; there is about a millimeter or two of play before you hit that satisfying click, which makes them feel slightly less premium than some competing brands. Also, a quick tip: this controller is definitely best suited for those with larger hands and a lighter touch. If you’re the type of gamer who tends to "death grip" your controller during intense moments, you might find yourself accidentally pressing the back paddles. If you can master a lighter grip, though, it's an absolute beast of a controller.

I never had any issues with this controller such as stick drift, button going bad or bumpers going bad...none of that I bought both the tournament edition & the Pro version & the T.E. edition is better. The pro version disconnects, but not often. I use the T.E. edition for both xbox and PC & I love how versatile it is. My only 2 issues is #1 the razer app which you can't see what other profiles you have made from xbox to PC besides the only 4 programmable profiles, the other issue of this controller is the ergonomics, the handles part where you hold the controllers is too short. They should of kept the ergonomics from the first razer wolverine which the handles are longer.

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.

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.

This controller pretty much fit everything specification that I wanted it to. Four back paddles, extra button customization, stick drift prevention, great sounding buttons, wired for better performance. HOWEVER. After about 3 months of owning this controller, it began to disconnect from my Xbox at random points with no method of prevention. I decided I'd change the cable to a different one; this worked...for another month. Then it had the same issue again, and I've been unable to fix it via all forms of troubleshooting. I won't say that this is ENTIRELY a dealbreaker, because when it works (and occasionally it still will for a few hours at a time) it is an amazing controller. But I can't really rate it higher than three stars due to the sheer amount of time that I have died in a multiplayer game because my controller decided to turn off in the middle of a fight. It is INFURIATING. Luckily, Razer offers a one-year warranty. Even with this issue, I still like this controller a million times better than the official Xbox ones. Somehow, even though this controller is not good and fails constantly, Razer's quality is still better than the official Xbox ones.

The price of this pro controller with all these features is hard to beat. 6 Mappable buttons is a game changer. Most pro controllers have 4 paddles/buttons on the back that are mappable. The Wolverine V3 has 6 buttons with the M1 and M2 buttons next to bumpers. I play 'Apex Legends' I used the M1 and M2 to heal and grenade. The 4 back buttons I mapped to AXBY. Meaning, I never have to take my thumbs off the sticks. Every other controller, I have to take my thumbs off to do something or another without having to learn how to play claw. This controller is amazing, it speeds YOU up. No more fumbling with Dpad after or in fights. Problem: After a while my left stick would desync/lose calibration. Not drift. There is a difference. I dropped my first V3 wolverine and thought I broke it. Bought a 2nd one, and the same issue started. The left stick acted like I was running forward for an extra second after I stopped. Not drifting. I won't move while at rest, but in combat, my character wanted to take extra steps. This is terrible. I looked up a youtube video how to recalibrate joysticks and apparently Razer has updated the controller so we can't manually calibrate anymore. Razer actively hurts its own product. I tried factory resetting with Razer's app 'Synapse.' (google suggested) However, 'Synapse' would not detect the controller when plugged into my PC. It won't detect its own device. Don't download Synapse, its useless. I used the regular app 'Razer Controller Setup for Xbox' and deleted the profiles on controller. I reset button maps and joysticks. Remapped everything how I had it before and I no longer have issue on BOTH controllers. Working like normal. :) Summary: Price for this pro controller is great. The V3 with extra buttons and HAL Effect joysticks is my favorite controller. This controller has ruined all other controllers for me. It makes you better as a player because you have more time with thumbs on sticks without 'claw grip' The software issues are odd and frustrating. I fixed my issues, but having searched youtube, others have not been so lucky. This controller is absolutely amazing, but buy the warranty if you're getting it.

Button and trigger inputs are super satisfying and responsive. The configurable buttons are easy to set up and are very helpful. I have large hands and this controller is one of the only ones that doesn’t feel tiny.

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.

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.

Pros +The face buttons feel very satisfying to press love the sound and feedback. Every button has a satisfying click but the face buttons have that extra cushion to make it a hybrid where the sound and action is like a mouse but depressing the key feels like a nice mechanical keyboard. +The hair triggers with mouse click option is awesome too, practically no delay, they feel and sound just like a mouse click, I bet people who are very familiar with gaming mice like myself will love them, though I can see some people disliking it if you are expecting a feel like the face buttons on a regular controller or something hard when pressed it might not be for everyone. + The extra shoulder buttons are nice and responsive, paddles are also very easy to click and have the same mouse click type feedback + Excellent feel in the hand compared to a stock controller, feels more ergonomic for my medium sized hands. I have tried the elite series 2,dual sense edge on ps5 and of course the stock Xbox and ps5 controllers and I like the ergonomics of this controller the best. + Build quality is good, seems solid, provided braided cable feels very premium too. + Mapping the extra shoulder and paddle buttons is super easy, you don't even need the app. The controller has a dedicated function key that you press down in combination to assign and you get feedback through the led light when the assignment is successful. Cons - The sticks leave a lot to be desired, perhaps the weakest point of this entire package. They don't feel as satisfying and smooth to use as the Xbox elite. The closest comparison is the stock Xbox controller, if you are fine with how those feel you will feel right at home, I prefer the smoothness and glide of the elite and dual sense edge on ps5. But no stick drift risk here, you win some you lose some i suppose. Would have liked: +The paddles to be detachable, you are kinda stuck with them on permanently. I like how elite and dual sense edge give you a choice if you want them on or not. +Wish the face buttons had some colorful accents like the stock controller or just a dash of color here and there, the stock all black look is a bit boring and basic I feel. + The price to be a bit lower, I feel 100$ CAD would have been perfect for what's on offer here, regular price of 140 is not bad value, but it could be so much better. If you can get this on sale itll be awesome. Conclusion: Happy with the everything on offer here. If you like the feel and clickiness of gaming mice, or are a PC gamer looking for something analogous to that in controller form, I feel you will be very happy with this controller.

Llevo un año con el control, usado tanto en Xbox y PC y funciona a la perfección! Solo lo cambiaría por la versión inalámbrica pero después de pasar por muchos controles de alta gama este ha sido mi favorito. Puede que no tenga un grip comodo como otros controles pero el tamaño es perfecto y los botones se sienten super bien. Después del año sigue funcionado al 100 y juego 4 veces a las semana de 3-4 horas (Juego competitivos y casuales), eso si, lo cuido bastante ya que lo tengo en un estuche que compre por separada. Único malo del control es el cable, uso mejor el del Xbox Elite 2 (Ese control me duro 6 meses pero el cable es buenisimo)

Great component. Exceeded expectations. Great tactile feedback with the switches and buttons. Incredible control flexibility. I prefer the cord over the wireless so the cost saving is an added plus.
