Any disappointments I’ve had with the Razer Wolverine Ultimate controller have been slated to personal preferences & thus have little to no effect on my rating overall.
I bought this when it was on sale for like 35% off, and it was retail $220+, and I’d still advise picking it up when it’s on sale I’d you can, but as far as upper-scale controllers go, it’s almost worth that retail price. The mechanical feel & response of the buttons is amazing to me, and I love that it has the chat & volume controls too (wish I could adjust mic sensitivity though). It’s not too heavy, but still durable & the cords a decent length as well as braided (so nice and strong). The extra buttons have proven useful only in specific situations, but I like the placement & don’t find them getting in the way, however, I’d like it way better if I could map multiple inputs into said buttons on Xbox (like have one of the extra shoulder buttons be mapped to X + A, for example)
Overall, I have been impressed by Razer before, and this is no exception (aside from it’s initial retail price, which I believe has dropped to around $188cdn currently, which is quite a bit better than it was). Pick this up if you’re worried about taking the plunge for the Elite V2 & want to save some cheddar on something a little more on the premium side. It’s a great PC controller too!

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!

Escribo esta reseña a 2 años de mi compra del control y no podría estar más satisfecho, pasé mucho tiempo investigando sobre cuál sería la mejor opción en un control de alta calidad, sobre todo con tantas opciones disponibles en el mercado, sin embargo traté de basar mi elección en un equilibro sobre lo que es calidad-precio. Lo adquirí por aproximadamente $1,800.00 y he desquitado cada centavo, le he dado bastante uso a lo largo de esos 2 años, los materiales son de excelente calidad, sobre todo el grip y las palancas, actualmente la única falla que presenta es en los bumpers (LB y RB) recurrentemente tengo que presionarlos más de una vez para que funcionen, sin embargo este detalle surgió hasta pasados 1 año y 9 meses después de haberlo adquirido y debido a que trae 6 botones extras, de los cuales 2 están aproximadamente en la misma posición que los bumpers no he tenido mayor problema por esta pequeña falla.
Algo que he disfrutado mucho en este control son los controles que tiene en la parte baja central, poder mutear mi micrófono, ajustar el volumen de los audífonos, así como también el chat de voz o cambiar entre perfiles con sólo un clic es algo bastante cómodo, así como también poder remapear los botones sin tener que ingresar a la aplicación es algo que se agradece.
Y con respecto a las palancas su desempeño y materiales son excelentes, únicamente presenta un mínimo de drift debido al uso en el stick izquierdo (aclaro que es debido al uso ya que inicialmente no presentaba drift en ninguno de los sticks) pero realmente no afecta en nada al uso normal al navegar por la interfaz ni el desempeño a la hora de utilizarlo para jugar, es prácticamente imperceptible.
Del resto de botones del control no he tenido ningún problema, actualmente todos funcionan correctamente, el único detalle por uso es que se quitó la pintura de los botones A y B.

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.

Controle ótimo e confortável para jogar, a qualidade é muito superior ao controle padrão do XBOX e mais confortável, vem com analógicos e D-pads removíveis através de ímãs que levam segundos para editar seu controle e facilitar a jogatina, vem com 6 botões extras para você configurar do seu jeito, uma trava nos gatilhos que permite você regular ele, e tem um APP no próprio XBOX pra você escolher as cores RGB e como se mexem, resumindo o controle é incrível e peguei numa promoção muito boa.
