Razer Wolverine Ultimate Officially Licensed Xbox One Controller: 6 Remappable Buttons and Triggers - Interchangeable Thumbsticks and D-Pad - For PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S - Black

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!

UPDATE (Nov 15): 5 star I had to contact Razer to get them to fix the issue with their software being unavailable for everyone. They fixed it now, so it's all good. UPDATE (Nov 8 2019): 1 star The software that goes along with this controller is unusable right now ("Razer Synapse for Xbox"). When you try to run it, you get a message box overlay above everything else that prevents you from using the app. The message says that there is a new application to use for this device "Razer Wolverine for Xbox", but the download button does nothing. If you go to the Microsoft Store and look up the new app "Razer Wolverine for Xbox" you will see it is unavailable unless you have a redemption code. So, in short, Razer needs to resolve things with Microsoft because none of us can use the only software that let's us change our controllers. It's also stupid that they didn't just add the functionality to the existing Razer Synapse instead of making us use poor quality Microsoft store apps. ORIGINAL review: 5 star I really like this controller! I would have really loved if it was wireless, but Microsoft probably is preventing that from happening. Anyways, this controller is great! The quality of this really feels good. I really feel like it's worth the cost. Plus it has the rgb light on it which add a little flare to it (there are different presets for lighting types). The mechanical buttons are weird at first, but I wouldn't go back, honestly. You'll notice that it's faster to press the buttons because it's instant, meaning faster reaction time in games. The paddles and M buttons right above them are in the center of the back of the controller, which surprisingly isn't bad at all. For normally holding the controller it's great. For a certain game, I only play it with a claw grip, so I can't really reach the paddles, but I use the buttons above them AND the extra buttons between the bumpers. I really love those! Those top 2 are mechanical, but the paddles and M buttons above them are normal buttons, so they don't have the click. I don't mind it really, doesn't really matter to me. The sticks have almost no stick drift (when you reduce the deadzone to 0). It's wonderful! When I was playing Rocket League configuring the deadzone, for the first time I was able to set it to 0 and it was fine until i broke it in a bit, then I had to change it to 0.03 which is still extremely low (normal controllers require me to set as high as 0.08 to not have any problem with stick drift). My only gripe is that in rare circumstances when i was doing quick sporadic maneuvers with my thumb, I accidentally applied upward force on the stick and it came out (because they are supposed to for swapping the stick types out). That really sucked in the middle of a match having to pop it back in and miss precious seconds. It's rare though, so don't let this stop you from getting this, but be aware of this and avoid pulling the stick up. Compared to the elite controller, I would say the quality of this is better from what I've seen, but I don't own an elite controller myself (my friend has one). I've read that elite controllers start having issues after 3-6 months though, so I trust this controller more. Time will tell, but I've had this controller for about 2 months and it's been working great! It's the only one I use now! I highly recommend this controller. If you are deciding between this and the elite controller, you don't mind it being corded, and you want to a reliable good quality controller worth the cost, then go for this one.

It's been over a month since I purchased this controller, I took my time to test all it's features and now I'm ready to share my experience. 1. The controller build quality is amazing, it feels like a premium product, the silver color on top really gives you the feeling you paid for a high quality device. The A,X,B,Y buttons have a clicky feeling and also a mouse-like sound, which is really pleasant to touch and hear. At first it took me some time to get used to it because compared to a regular Xbox controller, with the Wolverine Ultimate pressing the buttons is not as mushy, it's more like a tactile press, rather than the long press from regular controllers. After playing 2 sessions I got used to it. Apart from the A,X,B,Y buttons, only the M1 and M2 buttons have that clicky feeling, the rest of the buttons have the normal feeling of an xbox controller. 2. The trigger stops work fine, I use the controller to play mostly Apex and really can tell shooting is much faster, as well as aiming. For other non Shooter games the controller works splendid. I mainly use the two extra buttons on top (M1, M2) for my gameplay, and out of the 4 buttons on the back I only use 1. I actually like the location of those buttons because since I don't use them, I don't feel they are on the way, I have big hands but never touch them unless I want to reach for them. So for me it's comfortable. 3. I use the controller on PC, it's plug and play. The RGB is very bright and looks nice. I actually had to lower the brightness using the software. Now, regarding the software, I downloaded it from the Microsoft Store, it's called Razer Controller Setup for Xbox. You can change different lightning modes on the app, I stick to a solid color. You have 2 profiles you can choose from and set those up depending on the amount of sensitivity you want for the thumbsticks. Now it's important to mention that the sensitivity you choose will only be effective as long as you press and hold the M5 or M6 buttons. So let's say you want to be more accurate while sniping, you press the button while aiming and you will for sure notice the difference. I don't use this feature that much honestly, but perhaps in the future I'll dig into it. 4. The software is not very responsive, it's slow and I think it can be improved. But for what its needed it worked fine. 5. When I first played with the controller I noticed a very tiny drift on the right joystick. It wasn't much but still noticeable. After a few sessions it disappeared, very important to mention. In conclusion I'm very happy with this controller and would recommend it to anyone looking to be better at FPS. I'm a bot but it doesn't mean you will be LOL

PROS... - This controller feels really great to play with. I honestly really love it. Way better than a standard $60 xbox controller. - I love the additional remappable 6 buttons (4 on back, and 2 on top). The 2 on top are unique to this controller and placed in a great spot. The 4 on the back take a little bit to get used to, but don't get actually pressed like the Xbox Elite controller (which I also like, by the way). - I love the "focus" option, which basically works as a temporary DPI adjustment that you can assign to any of the buttons. This allows you to slow the movement down of one or both analog sticks adjusted to whatever speed feels great for you. I assigned it to a rear button to slow down the right stick so I can be more precise with sniping (Mostly PubG for me, but works with any shooting game). - Another unique and great feature to this controller. The LED lighting (although not at all necessary) is another cool unique feature. You can assign the led options (colors and other options) to each saved controller configuration so you know which configuration you are currently using on the controller. - Controller feels slightly more ergonomic to me than the Elite, but I'm sure this depends on your hands and how you hold the controller. I'm 6'5" tall with large hands. - The Wolverine Ultimate is also way lighter than the Elite, which makes it easy and comfortable to use for long periods of time. - Right/Left quick fire trigger settings feel great (requires slightly less pressure pull than the Elite) CONS... - It's not wireless (as you probably already know), but the cable is premium quality, has a great solid connection to the controller that keeps it from being easily broken, unlike the xbox controllers (including the Elite). This is the biggest issue most people have with this controller, but it's not a problem at all for me. Plus, playing with a cable offers the quickest reaction time. It's probably barely noticeable to most of us, but it may keep you alive on a few rare occasions. - Yeah the built in headset options are attached to the controller (unlike any of the Microsoft controllers), but this controller doesn't have a mic monitoring option. This is the biggest con for me personally. I'm used to being able to hear myself when I talk in chat which keeps me from feeling like I have to yell over people to be heard, and also I'll notice if I'm breathing into the mic or something rather than another person in the chat having to tell me to move my mic because they don't want to hear it. Why oh why didn't you include this option Razer. Many gamers complain about this issue online. If you don't care about mic monitoring (you probably haven't had it before), then this may not be an issue for you. The $10 extra for this controller over the Elite (currently $160 for Razer Wolverine Ultimate and $150 for Elite) is still cheaper if you need to purchase a separate headset adaptor for $30-$50. (By the way, go with Turtle Beach if you do - I have 4 of them and the "superhuman hearing" option is amazing for hearing and locating enemy players near you.) Unfortunately since the headset controls are built-in to the design of this controller, I can't use my TB headset adaptor with it. - Lastly, but won't usually be an issue, I had an issue with my 3.5mm headset adaptor on my controller upon opening new for Christmas. The controller would shut off when I plugged in my headset (which worked totally fine with all of my other controllers). I discovered that the extension cable I was using wasn't compatible with this controller, even though it worked totally fine with every other controller I did own, including the Elite. So it you need to add an extension cable to to reach further than the cable that already comes with this controller (approx 10ft), I'm not sure if it'll work. SUMMARY: I really do like this controller, a lot. I just wish it had a voice monitoring option, but other than that, it's amazing and feels great!! Hope this helps my fellow gamers (or parents of) out there looking for a premium xbox controller. :-)

!!If you intend to use this for PC BUYER BEWARE!!!I PC USE WARNING!! RARELY do I ever leave a review. But I REALLY wish I had known about this in advance with all the other positive reviews (xBox users only, my guess) Usually I review if something was way ABOVE my expectations, but this is an exception. It's advertised as being for the xBox and PC. !ABSOLUTELY NOT! It is ONLY for the xBox and the PC can read the xbox specific buttons (like it can any xBox controller). There is absolutely no support whatsoever for button customization other than the standard a,b,x,y,b1,b2,t1,t3 buttons (and I was on line with razer for a while trying to find a workaround because this seemed incredulous to me). Want macros?, custom key presses?, long hold/short hold/rapid fire/or anything else for that matter? Forget about it. For a $160 premium Razer "Ultimate" product this thing is the worst kind of rip off. I can't even use joytokey, controller companion, xpadder or anything else with it, since the additional buttons only register as copies of a,b,x,y and not as unique buttons. Not a stranger to and knowing the flexibility of PC, I attempted a number of workarounds. Try installing as a different device type (DInput instead of XInput)?.....nope. Find custom drivers to take advantage of the hardware?.......nada...... FORCE it to recognise as a keyboard at least? I would loose analog functions, but at least keep the unique keystrokes?....absolute bupkus. Thinking I downloaded the wrong version of Synapse?....wrong again they actually released a specific version of their Synapse software to work for the thing since their OWN Synapse won't even talk to it as a PC controller. Ditto if you think this might work with your other Razer products for lighting and the like...they will NOT communicate with each other....since...since....this controller wasn't made to work on PC! How about those 4 media looking keys between the hand grips. Surely I can do something with those.....nope. Two of them are for profiles (and WHAT are profiles for if you can't actually customize anything?!?), and the other two are for mic/volume that.....u guessed it...will not do ANYTHING on a PC and can't be mapped. My only conclusion is that the controller can ONLY output the standard xInput controls and the rest of it is stored/controlled on the controller itself. You can get one button to act like another button, but can't actually change any of them beyond standard xBox config. I got this thing after needing a control pad that had additional buttons so I could use it for mainly the emulation scene. Wanted the extra buttons to map some quick keys too like emulator menu, return to front end, quick access to shaders, volume control...etc. I can do this with as far as I can tell, ANY CONTROLLER BUT THIS ONE! I don't know WHAT Razer was thinking since they were at one time supposedly the premier, game centric, peripheral maker for the PC crowd but they have either lost there way, or are giving the big one fingered salute to there original core audience. After having a number of Razer products over the years and seen the support drop off lately and even riding thru the synapse overhead issue, I will be VERY hesitant to try their products again. Oh.....Razer did mention that the controller was designed for tournament use so macros/customization would be "unfair".....ok.... 1)Isn't that what your cheaper "Wolverine Tournament Edition" is for? and this expensive Ultimate is for the rest of us? AND 2)PC use makes the tournament part mute. Want to nerf it for xBox... fine....but why nerf it for PC?...WHY?? TLDR> Review for Wolverine Ultimate is SPECIFICALLY for PC. Might be fantastic for xBox, feels nice and what not, but will NOT work on a PC as a PC controller. Will only recognise and work as a standard xBox controller with unmappable duplicate buttons. In my book that is NOT PC compatible. It's like advertising a $160 gaming mouse as Windows and Mac compatible, but when u plug it into a mac only one button can or will ever work. !!RIPOFF!!

I've been using this controller since mid 2020 now and it is by far the best controller I have used (not a paid review either). The 4 mappable buttons on the back have not worn down at all and are still as responsive as the first day using the controller. I've had other controllers (Scuf for example) and after a long time (months) using those paddles, it requires such a hard long press just to activate the button. Have experienced absolutely none of that with this controller, this is the one and only controller I will recommend based on my experience. I love it so much that I bought my brother and friend one to be able to keep up with me. Never having to take your thumbs off of the thumbsticks helps win games. And now the price is almost $100 cheaper than when I bought my first one, this is the best deal on the market in my opinion. Such a great deal, no regrets with this purchase years later, and still using the controller on a daily to couple times a week basis.

June 20th,2020 I had a very hard time finding reviews for this game pad that were geared strictly towards use for PC (Windows 10), so I'm writing one. This is strictly a first impression review from a guy that is passionate about casual gaming, so I can't comment on longevity at this point and I'm by no means a pro or an e-athelete, I just wanted a nice gaming controller, and so far I think I've found it. The Razer Wolverine Ultimate comes in a nice package. Razer understands the importance of the wow factor not just from the device itself but also the box it comes in. That box is quality cardboard that opens easily to present the carrying case (with controller inside) front and center stylishly padded in a nice black foam cutout. In a black insert underneath is the braided black cord, and with the controller in the case are the different height thumbsticks and D-pad. These easily switchable sticks and D-pad are held onto the unit by magnets, and they still feel solidly attached despite being easy to switch without any kind of tools or disassembly. Despite it being only a hard wired game pad, the cable still can detach from the controller for easy storage and also has a breakaway towards the USB end, so a clumsy trip up shouldn't send your tower crashing off your desk. The end that plugs into the controller is nicely reinforced with a plastic bracket built into the unit so that the stress of any tugging on the cable doesn't directly fall on the micro usb plug, which seems like a thoughtful design choice. Underneath all of that in the box is a simple instruction manual and warranty card, and some other Razer promotional stuff, as well as a page with 2 razer stickers. I hardly ever use them, but I appreciate a company that helps me rock their logo on my equipment if I want. Minimalistic and no extra plastic bags. Points won from me. The buttons feel great and the sticks have a good level of resistance. Face buttons feel clicky like mouse buttons and only need a light press. There are rumble motors in the main unit and smaller ones in the main triggers. The unit is not wireless, but for me this is a plus. The controller feels well made and solid, even though it is still lightweight. Now, my main point of clarification for PC only users. First, the RGB will not synch with your other Razer chroma products on pc. I had read about this and was worried that it meant that I wouldn't be able to change the RBG coloring. However, you can download the Razer Wolverine for Xbox app onto windows and set up your color preferences and brightness levels there or turn the lights off completely. The app also lets you individually adjust the two types of rumble features I mentioned earlier, and lets you set up the 6 remappable bumpers and triggers on the back. It is important to note that these buttons can ONLY be mapped to any of the other buttons on the controller and not any keyboard buttons. Not a deal breaker for me, but it's something that needs to be clear for others. So, if you're playing with this only on PC, yes, using the Xbox app on your PC allows you to do anything you could do on Xbox with it on your PC, but that's it. Out of the box it is fully functional plug and play with the default control settings and a shifting rainbow pattern for the lights. For me all of this is fine. I hope this review can help other shoppers make a decision. It may not be the best for those looking for 100% fully customizable control on a competitive PC gaming level, but if you just happen to be a person who wants a really nice wired gaming controller then you have a great option here.

I bought this controller after my gen 1 Xbox Elite Controller started getting unacceptable left stick drift and had broken LB twice. I wanted the gen 2 Elite, but I decided to give this a shot. My main game is Rocket League, so this isn't from the perspective of a shooter main. I've only had it about a month so I can't speak to it's durability, but I will update the review if something becomes a problem. (see update at bottom) As far as features of the controller, it is packed. There are 6 programmable buttons in addition to the default Xbox layout; 4 on the back and 2 on the top. This is "tournament ready", so these buttons can only be mapped to existing Xbox functions, there is no option for keyboard shortcuts or macros. You can also use "Agile" and "Focus" if you are into shooters. The Chroma lighting is cool but obviously purely fluff, I made it as dim as possible. The build quality seems good. It doesn't have the heft of an Elite controller, which is more from not having a battery than it is from cheaper materials. The light weight makes it very comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the cable is high quality with a breakaway design in case it gets yanked. Comfort/ergonomics are great, but took getting used to. The Elite controller has it's paddles positioned on the back of the grips, so you wrap your fingers around the controller to hold it. That is more natural to me, so the Elite controller fit right into my flow without any problems. The Wolverine positions the back paddles in the middle of the controller, which means you cannot wrap your fingers all the way around the grips and still use the buttons. This took a lot of getting used to, but now that I am comfortable with it I actually find it encourages a much more light and deft grip on the controller. The Elite encourages you to squeeze tightly, and I had to actively fight that urge to maintain quicker and lighter presses. The Wolverine forces you to hold the controller with less force, and as such my comfort and dexterity have increased after the switch. Along the same lines, the buttons are super clicky and tactile, feeling more like a mouse press than a button as others have said. This also encourages lighter and faster touches, as opposed to the forceful mashing that I was used to on the mushy membrane Elite buttons. So overall it is a supremely comfortable controller to use for long gaming sessions once you have gotten used to the required grip, and it has all the features you could want for a "tournament ready" controller. Here's to hoping it doesn't break tomorrow. Update: So it didn't break TOMORROW per se, but it definitely hasn't held up well. Within the first 3 months the right stick started to drift pretty bad. In Rocket League that only impacts camera angle, so it wasn't the end of the world and I kept playing with it. I had pretty bad stick drift on my left stick on my gen 1 Elite controller after about a year which was way worse to deal with. About 2 months ago the bottom left button on the back of the controller started feeling looser than normal. As of today it has fully broken and cannot be pressed anymore. I will probably just re-map that button to the one above that I didn't use, but it's not a good sign that within a year I've had a button break and pretty massive stick drift. Also, after about 9 months of use and after switching to a wireless keyboard and mouse, I'm starting to regret buying a wired controller. There isn't a noticeable difference in latency and while the lighter weight is nice, the cord makes it about as cumbersome as a heavier wireless controller all things considered. Unfortunately, poor quality control seems to be a requirement for "pro"-grade controllers (Xbox Elite Gen 2, anything Scuf, this one from Razer) so there isn't a clear winning alternative. If you are ok with a wire and are ok with accepting the potential for stick drift or the occasional broken button, this is still an excellent controller ergonomically and I love the clicky buttons. I'd be way more harsh (2 stars total) if it wasn't such a common thing amongst these types of controllers across the spectrum. I just wish I didn't have to expect those problems when paying double the normal rate for a controller.
