About this deal

Where Razer's controller falters is that, of the six buttons you can remove and replace on the Razer Wolverine Ultimate, three of them are the same. The Razer Wolverine Ultimate has only one audience in mind: the really hardcore, couch-based gamers. It’s not ideal if you’re sitting further than 10 feet away from your monitor or TV or necessary for those who enjoy single-player campaigns more than they enjoy the thrills of online competition. Then there’s the Razer Synapse software for Xbox One. PC users sporting any Razer product will be familiar with this, if only because it’s how you configure that flashy Chroma lighting across all of the company’s accessories. Of course, you can play on PC also with a Switch Pro or Playstation controller, but often you will have to use workarounds, install third-party software, or manually configure each button. Steam is the main exception because there you can select the controller you wish to use, but nowadays our game library is spread out among several platforms.

I think that Xbox controllers are the best option also for PC users because they became the standard and work flawlessly in any game. Bumpers and Triggers are ergonomic and easier to use than standard Xbox controllers, and the grip is good because Razer used a matte paint. You can customize the Wolverine Ultimate through the Razer Wolverine for Xbox app on the Xbox One or Windows 10. Yes, the Windows 10 version of the app is called Razer Wolverine for Xbox. Curiously, the gamepad can't be directly programmed through the Razer Synapse software on PC, even though that software is used to customize nearly every other Razer peripheral you connect to your computer. This means that, while the Wolverine Ultimate's lighting is technically Razer Chroma, you can't directly sync it to your Razer headset, keyboard, or mouse through Razer Synapse, and have to manually control how its colors change.All the controllers nowadays can have issues, but it looks like the Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition is the most durable among them all, and with the least amount of potential issues.

Plus, don’t forget that the gorgeous strip of Chroma RGB lighting is exclusive to Razer's svelte gamepad. We disliked

Controller-fied Chroma

As a side note, I heard that the extra two top buttons are the least reliable part of the controller.

The controller is only wired, and it uses micro-USB. This isn’t a problem for me, but note that if the cable breaks, finding an official replacement seems a bit difficult. You can use any micro-USB cable, however, be sure to buy a very thin one because Razer made a custom plug-in, so big cables won’t fit. Its wireless incompatibility. This controller isn’t built for casual gamers, nor is it really designed for the hardcore crowd should they ever find themselves playing anything other than competitive multiplayer games. Final verdict Having witnessed a rampaging three-year-old protest the absence of Disneyland Adventures in my games library by sending the Wolverine flying across the lounge onto a hardwood floor, I can also attest to its build quality. The controller survived the experience, which separated it from its USB cable, scratch- and blemish-free.Now you can remap buttons, cycle profiles and do just about everything else that could more easily be accomplished on the controller’s media keys, but on a TV connected to your Xbox. We liked The old Xbox 360 controllers were unbreakable, and also the Xbox One ones had a long lifespan, but over time their build quality decreased. The number of players with controller issues is higher than in the past, and there is no way to avoid them completely.
