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
In-Depth Review
I recently decided to invest in the Razer Wolverine Ultimate controller after hearing a lot of buzz about it. As a casual gamer in my mid-30s, I’ve used more than my fair share of controllers over the years—everything from the classic Xbox controllers to some lesser-known brands. I was looking for something that could enhance my gaming experience without breaking the bank and the Wolverine seemed to fit the bill.
**First Impressions**
Right out of the box, the Wolverine looks sleek. I was impressed by its black finish combined with the RGB lighting accents. It has a solid weight to it, which made it feel durable in my hands. Unlike some controllers I’ve used before that felt flimsy, this one had a sturdiness that inspired confidence. I was particularly excited about the remappable buttons, which I had never had in a controller before.
**Build Quality & Design**
Speaking of design, the contours of the Wolverine fit nicely in my hands. It features a textured grip that helps prevent slippage during gaming marathons, which is a significant plus for someone like me who can sometimes break into a sweat during intense gaming sessions. The buttons are well-placed, and the triggers offer a satisfying click when pressed. I particularly appreciated the interchangeable D-pad and thumbsticks, allowing a bit of customization based on my gaming preferences.
**Performance & Daily Use**
Now, on to performance: the Wolverine shines here as well. The remappable buttons have been a game changer, allowing me to customize controls for different games. Whether I’m playing Rocket League for some competitive gameplay or diving into an RPG, having a tailored setup has made a noticeable difference in my response times. The latency is practically non-existent—an important factor for any serious gamer.
One of the standout features is the “hair trigger mode” that makes those rapid-fire moments so much easier to handle. It took me a little time to get used to having six remappable buttons, but once I got the hang of it, I found myself winning more often.
**Who This Is Best For**
I think this controller is best for gamers who want a step up from the standard controllers. If you’re a casual player, the basic controllers might suffice, but if you spend a lot of time gaming, wanting precision and customization, the Wolverine Ultimate will cater to your needs. It’s also great for competitive gamers who participate in tournaments or need that extra edge in-game.
**Pros and Cons**
The pros definitely outweigh the cons. I love the comfortable grip, solid build, and nearly instant responsiveness. The customization options are a huge bonus for someone looking to personalize their gaming experience. However, I did find the price point on the higher side, and although it’s not exorbitant, some people might hesitate to spend that much on a controller. Another minor quibble could be the absence of wireless functionality; while I do enjoy the wired connection for consistency, it might limit some players.
**Final Verdict**
Overall, the Razer Wolverine Ultimate Controller has revitalized my gaming experience. It’s comfortable, customizable, and performs incredibly well, making it a worthy investment if you’re serious about your gaming. If you’re looking to level up your setup and enjoy a controller that adapts to you, this is definitely one to consider. I’d recommend it to anyone who regularly games and wants a solid controller that can handle anything thrown at it.

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!

UPDATE: Great controller! They fixed the software issue
UPDATE (Nov 15): 5 starI 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 starThe 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 starI 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.

First impressions of the controller were awesome, all the buttons feel amazing. A,B,X,Y buttons are super light to push. Took some getting used to at first, I am now in love with them. 0 stick drift on my unit to report as I had read some people had that issue with this controller. Six programmable buttons M1 an M2 being mechanical buttons along with A B X Y they give a nice satisfying click and are lighting fast. M3-6 are not mechanical but that’s okay, they still feel amazing.The joysticks feel very close to a stock Xbox controller (series x is my reference) perhaps just a bit lighter pull. R3 L3 feel good as well when pushed. The joysticks rubbers feel alright, they could use a bit more grip but that’s more of a personal thing.The plastic the controller is made out of is quality, the rubber grip on the controller feels amazing! The vibration is completely controllable and feels great. I love the simple RGB lighting it’s not allot but it looks great. I am also loving the sound control on the controller, mixing games chat/volume on the fly is a game changer for me. Can also mute/unmute your mic from the controller. Mapping buttons on the fly is super easy and switching button profiles on the controller without using the app is welcomed. Really cool feature. The triggers/bumpers are great and I love the placement and feel of them, the trigger stops work phenomenal. Solid locks and super short pull when engaged!In my opinion this controller feels better than the current V2 Chroma and is a bit cheaper price wise mind you not by much. Would buy again though and would recommend to anyome lookong for a wired pro controller.For a controller that has been out for years now it is still a 10/10 for pro controllers in my books. I hope my review was helpful. If I missed anything I apologize.
