Better than Elite Controller, BY FAR.

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!

Couldnt be happier with my purchase

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.

Who needs an Elite or Scuf controller?

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

A quality product, well done, Razer

I am not by any means a professional gamer, but here are my thoughts -Wired -Working XBox button -Responsive -Multi-function buttons (can be turned off) -Customizable -Durable -Break away nylon cable (9'10" long) -Rubber cable wrap -Rubber grips I have been experiencing some lag with my stock controller, so I specifically set out to find a WIRED controller that is very RESPONSIVE. I am not disappointed. The buttons are crisp and quick with an audible *click* with each button press. I like that. The fact that the XBox button works is great. It doesn't even need to be held down to turn on the XBox, just a quick click and the console responds. Neat! Right out of the box this controller is pretty cool. It feels a lot like a stock controller, but the MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS are definitely different. I have never had a controller with these buttons, so it will take some getting used to, but I can tell I'm really going to like this feature. If ever I do change my mind, I can assign them to do nothing when pressed, completely eliminating them without the need to remove them (before you ask, they are not removable). The light in the center is CUSTOMIZABLE as well with different color options as well as different patterns and brightness. It can even be turned off altogether if one chose to do so. The controller looks and feels DURABLE in my hands. I'm not worried about dropping it on the floor. I am clumsy by nature and have 2 curious and sometimes rambunctious cats. The nylon branded CABLE is clearly durable as well. I have had products in the past with similar material so I am confident this cable will last a very long time. This cable also has a very nice BREAK AWAY feature which is really great for storage and for having 2 cats that can be unruly with their brotherly wrestling matches. With this feature I don't fear them ripping the cables from the XBox console, nor am I worried that they could pull they XBox from the T.V. stand altogether. And if ever my fiancé or I tripped over it, I think the cable and controller would survive quite nicely. However, I don't think it will be easily uncoupled by accident as when plugging the wire into the console, the controller, and attaching the cable in the middle (see photos) it feels solid and tight. And the rubber CABLE WRAP is adjustable, which provides storage options; I can choose to wind the cable tight and small, thin and lengthy, or anything in between; this cable wrap will do well in any scenario. The RUBBER GRIPS on the joysticks as well as the backs of the hand grips feel very nice. With my stock controller, I did have issues with long-term gaming and felt my controller slip out of my grip. I often had to readjust the controller in my hands. This controller is definitely better for that, my fingers grip it nicely. After downloading the Razer Wolverine for XBox app I discovered that it is even more CUSTOMIZABLE than I realized. The MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS can be remapped to basically anything and even the range of the joysticks and triggers can be changed as well as vibration intensity. Very nice features for anyone wanting tailored responsiveness. All in all this is a great controller and I am very excited to get to know all of its features and functionality in the enjoyment to come. Well done, Razer, as always you have delivered a quality product.

Really like this one

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.

Go with this instead of the Wolverine Ultimate Edition!

Lots of brands make controllers with remappable rear paddle buttons, but Razer makes the only controller that I know of that also has two extra buttons on the shoulders that are remappable. This is a huge advantage for a lot of games since you don't have to take your thumbs off of the sticks to hit buttons nearly as much, giving you way more control. I fell in love with this design years ago when I first began using the Razer Raiju Tournament Edition on my PS4 and that's why I later bought this to use exclusively on my Windows 10 PC through a wired connection. Please note that other reviews complaining of it not working on PC are no longer valid. I can confirm that it works without issue. I originally bought the Razer Wolverine Ultimate Edition and I have concluded that the design is flawed and the Tournament Edition remains the better of the two controllers. With the Ultimate Edition, you get a few extra features that proved mostly useless for my needs. The two extra rear buttons it has over the Tournament Edition are nice but ultimately unnecessary. The control hub for mic and headphones was again unnecessary for me since I play on PC. But the real problem is that the ability to swap out the sticks and directional pad proved to actually be a hindrance and not a benefit because this feature comes at a huge cost: the magnetic joysticks are loose and wiggly out of the box, but the joystick housing itself is also highly prone to breaking loose and wiggling around even more. Furthermore, only one set of the directional pads worked correctly to provide tactile clicking. I exchanged the Wolverine Ultimate four times over a couple month period before I realized that it wasn't just a defective controller as these issues were present on all four units. I was really let down by Razer by that, but I couldn't get passed the excellent design with the remappable shoulder and paddle buttons. I decided to take one more chance on Razer by going backwards to the Wolverine Tournament Edition since I have used the Raiju Tournament Edition for years and have had zero complaints. Best decision I could have made! The buttons are still very tactile and satisfying. Joysticks are buttery smooth with no looseness or unwanted wiggle. It's everything I loved in the Raiju Tournament, except in an Xbox form!

Best controller I've used, and I've used a LOT of controllers

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!

Very comfortable once you are used to it

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. 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.

Full Year Use

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.

Much better controller for PC and Xbox one gaming than Microsoft's standard controllers

I've been gaming for a while as I started out gaming on PC and then also PlayStation before the 2nd one came out. Then later I got a Xbox 360 and my gripe with it was how cheap the controller buttons were. On my PS2 and 3 controllers each button press felt just right. On 360 controllers both the D-pad and RB + LB buttons were just horrid. I ran into a number 360 controllers where the RB or LB just didn't work. My own wired 360 controller that I used with my PC just never felt good to use. For games that leaned on the D-pad I just avoided using the XBOX controllers all together after playing Assassins Creed with it. After that I was really disappointed in how little the Xbox one controllers improved over the 360 controller. So when PS4 controller support grew for the PC I just used it whenever possible. This controller though really changed most of what I've felt is wrong with the quality of Microsoft's controllers. The D-pad is just like I've always wanted from an Xbox style controller and each button at last clicks just right. My only minor complaint is the RB and LB feels less than intuitive to press due to the ergonomics of the controller. I works very well with both my PC and Xbox one X. Going to say now that this controller will be all I use on any Xbox from now on. Now as for pros and cons: PROS: - Separated D-pad is what I love most. It can make a real impact if you are like me and tend to hit off center where on a MS controller it will cause a different direction than what you intended. - Much better face buttons with a smooth defined click. - A tighter slightly smaller frame and a bit more comfortable shape in hand. - Triggers feel good both with and without using the stop. It's a notable improvement over the standard controller. - A quality long cable for living room use. - 4 programable buttons for use on PC CONS: - The RB + LB buttons could be improved some. It's still way better than Microsoft controllers however. - No wireless. Doesn't really matter to me, but it's worth noting considering the cost here. - The RGB light is kind of bright for me. I got this during Prime day, but now having used it I would say it's worth the MSRP. I rate this a 9.5/10 because other than my nit picking it's near perfection for a wired controller.
