Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Review - Razer's First Wireless Xbox Controller Is Fantastic

Razer's console controller line has expanded with its first wireless model for Xbox, and it's easily the best Wolverine controller yet. The V3 Pro retains the core features found in previous Wolverine controllers--clicky mecha-tactile buttons, four back triggers, and two extra bumpers--while making a few impactful changes that resolve the less-than-stellar aspects of PS5's V2 Pro and the V2 Chroma for Xbox. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is available now at Amazon for $200--$50 less than the V2 Pro, and only $50 more than 2021's wired V2 Chroma. If you're in the market for a wireless Xbox or PC controller and are willing to spend this much, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is truly exceptional. Razer has also launched a wired-only V3 Tournament Edition for $100.

The Wolverine V3 Pro is the latest controller to take advantage of Xbox's recent decision to open its wireless protocol to third-party manufacturers. At the end of the day, every pro-style controller for Xbox ultimately competes with Xbox's Elite Series 2 controller, which has been the gold standard in the premium controller market for years. Each of its main competitors so far have excelled in their own ways, with the Victrix Pro BFG offering a unique modular design and the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra sporting the most robust internal customization features. The Wolverine V3 Pro is an all-around success that surpasses its third-party competitors and stands toe-to-toe with the Elite Series 2.

Naturally, the biggest surface-level change with the V3 Pro is its wireless connection. Razer has released several Wolverine controllers for Xbox over the years, all of which were restricted to a wired connection. The manufacturer often mentioned latency as a reason why wired was better for a pro-style style controller, but it also wasn't able to make one due to Microsoft's in-house wireless protocols. Wireless connections have come a long way in recent years, and while wired controllers still technically offer the fastest response times, technologies such as Razer's HyperSpeed wireless make latency with a good wireless controller, synced with a good protocol, virtually impossible to notice.
