Title: The best controller on the market, worth every dime!
Review: I pretty much never take the time to leave reviews, but this has been one of those absolute game-changing (no pun intended) product's for me, I felt obligated to share.Exhibit A: I have a lot of controllers... My kids and I are big gamers, so that comes with a lot of consoles. However, I think every one of these controllers shown except the solo wired (turbo) were purchased before the Wolverine V2s.Initially, I was a disgruntled purchaser of the PS/PC V2. I've always been an Xbox/PC/Nintendo player, but last year I decided to branch out and picked up a PS5. Immediately after turning it on and picking up the PS5 controller the first time I was in utter shock, the joysticks AREN'T OFFSET?! What kind of garbage, hand cramping design is that? I digress... So I immediately started searching for PS5 aftermarket controllers with offset joysticks, and initially all I could find looked like garbage with fairly negative reviews except the Wolvering V2, which I thought at $250 was just the most absurd price I wasn't going to pay for a controller period, much less turning a $500 venture into PlayStation into a $750 one.After continuing to scour the internet for another decent PS5 controller at a "reasonable" price and coming up short, I decided to bite the bullet and just buy the V2 (hence the disgruntled). Now, I don't think I'd ever spent more than $80 on a controller and that was for the Switch Pro's, which I still thought was really pricey for a controller and I couldn't believe I was spending over $100, much less $250???Exhibit B: I don't know how long it took to ship, but let's assume overnight. You can see it took me all of maybe 36 hours to decide I couldn't go back to an Xbox controller. Even though the Xbox V2 was wired, which I couldn't believe, I had been ruined for all other controllers. That covers my first 2...What was the single gift I told the family to chip in on for Xmas last year? A 2nd PS5/PC Wolvering V2 to dedicate to PC so the original could be dedicated to PS, after all who want's to go through the trouble of moving a USB stick between the two?***Pros*** You're just not going to top the quality of Razer. The product stands up behind it's price tag. The additional programmable M1/M2 next to your Trigger/Bumper is so insanely comfortable to replace those high volume buttons or if you have more than 2 high volume buttons (looking at you Diablo) shift one off of your thumb for not just a more comfortable setup, but reduced mis-clicks. The programmable M3/M4/M5/M6 paddle buttons on the back are incredible for combo button needs (Stick those flasks in your pouch Elden Ring players and seamlessly be able to down HP or FP without drinking the wrong one again!).***Cons*** Price. However, if you're someone that put your controllers through work and need to replace them periodically, this might not be as expensive as it seems as it will absolutely outlast any standard PS/Xbox controller... No turbo or macro capabilities. (PLEASE Razer, if you're reading this, for the love of god release the Wolverine V3 Pro ASAP with Synapse support for Macros & Turbo!!!)***Potential Pro/Con*** This is not a "small" controller, it has *slightly* beefier grips than a standard Xbox or PS5 controller, designed (I assume) for ergonomics. It took a while for it to click for me, but I realized during those super-sessions my hands weren't getting as stiff or sore. That being said, if you're someone with really small hands that struggles with the size of those, say if you opt for the Joy-Con controller because the Switch Pro Controller is too big, this probably isn't the right controller for you.Look, do whatever you want, I'm not your dad. But if you do pick one up and end up loving it as much as I do, I hope this review helped!

Title: Horrible Controller!!! Gave 2 Chances
Review: Razer WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? I hope someone from the company sees this. Stick to gaming mice. You guys are not good at making controllers. You have so many bad reviews and returns on this controller. You have fighting games players talking trash about the newly released Razer Kitsune. C'mon! Stop wasting our time! I first bought this controller from my local Best Buy a couple months ago. Like a lot of people were saying, the deadzones are huge. I play first person shooters. Big deadzones are not ok in my opinion. Tried to tighten them in game on PC, but didn't feel right. Also, there was a delay when pressing the triggers every once in awhile. Not ok as that will definitely get you murked in a gunfight in fps games. This happened with the first controller and now this one. One would think from all the returns that they would fix that, but nope. Another thing i ran into with this one is that it would make my pc make a beeping sound multiple times. Like when you plug in your phone to a usb or any other device. It kept beeping like every minute or two followed by my screen flickering while testing it in a custom game. Same thing in an online match. Last thing I noticed is that while aiming in Call of Duty the right stick had acceleration like a mouse if you were to put acceleration on. It would shoot past my target instead of smooth/controlled aiming like I'm accustomed to. I don't have this problem with the Dualsense or Dualsense Edge which are the best controllers in my opinion. I'll even go as far to say that the Victrix Gambit beats this controller at almost a 3rd of the price being it's just as fast. I even updated the firmware when I first got it, but didn't notice much. I'm beyond disappointed. I gave this controller another shot by trying to adjust its deadzones through Steam which i recently discovered. I spent hours trying to get my movement and aim right. Helped a little, but not enough. It has too many other problems. I don't see how this controller made it past quality assurance. Str8 joke!

Title: Best controller Iâve had yet.
Review: I love this controller. From the tactile micro switch dpad and face buttons, to the smooth triggers and joysticks Iâm desperately trying to make this one last. Gotta play with clean hands and do my best not to crush this thing to death. The trigger locks and extra switches are easily accessed. I love the LED light show this thing puts on.The only drawback is the rather pitiful battery life. Also wait for it to go on sale if you can. Itâs a bit over priced even at $200 imo. But Iâm a razer fan and will always go back to them.But other wise the back paddles are perfect and extra shoulder buttons are all customizable mean you hit every possible configuration and can swap em quickly using the app on your phone which was user friendly, imo. 10/10 as good as it gets, def recommend.

Title: I really wanted to rate this 5 starsâ¦
Review: But I canât. I do love this controller and itâs great to not experience stick drift but thereâs a couple things keeping it from 5 stars. I love that itâs both wired and wireless and also works on PC. I love the RGB and extra mappable buttons. I love that itâs licensed by Sony.I donât love the missing haptics you get on the standard PS5 controller. Razer claims itâs because itâs a âPro Controllerâ and proâs donât use haptics. Thatâs cool but why does this same controller for the Series X have it then?I donât love that it doesnât have the speaker seen on the standard controller. Although if I had a choice between haptics and the speaker, Iâd take the haptics but here both are missing.So the last thing I really donât like is the price. Itâs two high to be missing the speaker AND haptics. The price wouldâve been more justifiable with those features but without, it feels way overpriced. $250 is kind of insane when itâs missing two key features of a $70 controller. The Series X version is $180 (probably cheaper now) and at least that thing has the haptics. Although itâs only wired so maybe thatâs the difference?Would I buy this again? Yea probably but not at $250.

Review: Empezamos con algo de detalles pues se desconectaba con frecuencia del ps5. Cambiamos el usb hacia el frente de consola y mas directo hacia modem de internet y ya no sucedio mas. No me encanta el precio tan alto ya que no incluye ni funda ni estuche para cuidar el control.Pero en general el gamer de la casa feliz con el regalo, no lo cambia por ningun otro.

Review: Been using Razer Raiju Ultimate for years on PC and PS4. Trying this Wolverine v2 Pro because of PS5. Rather disappointed as it felt like there were more downgrades than upgrades.Pros: Hyperspeed, clicky directional pad and buttons, changable stick and audio jack.Cons: RGB (not ARGB!?), plastic feels cheap unlike the Raiju, no haptic, not even basic rumble.. wireless connection only via its dongle, no basic bluetooth connection..Overall, it is disappointing and regretted my purchase. Better off with Sony's Dualsense Edge.Hoping to return this.

Customers say
Customers appreciate the clicky feel and RGB lighting of the video game controller. However, some customers feel it's not worth the high price and poorly designed for the price tag. They are also disappointed with the grip. Opinions differ on the durability of the buttons, the quality of the controller, functionality, and comfort.
