"Razer has finally made a wireless controller for the Xbox and overall it's absolutely brilliant. Combining the best aspects of previous Wolverine controllers, Razer has updated it for the present day with its excellent mouse switch technology, hall effect sticks and an ergonomic design that I would argue is better even than Microsoft's own." — Richard Devine, Managing Editor

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro controller is constructed with a sturdy plastic shell and rubberized grips, so it can endure long gaming sessions (and in some cases, abuse during rage-quitting outbursts) while keeping the user's hands firmly comfortable.

It also has Hall Effect sensors within the analog sticks to increase their input detection while safeguarding them from "stick drift", four extra remappable rear paddles, two remappable claw grip back buttons, and hypertriggers that can be switched between instant actuation with zero travel time or ultra-precise analog control depending on what game you're playing.

If you're using this controller for PC gaming, you can activate the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro's Tournament Mode to boost its polling rate to over 1,000Hz on PC for more accurate button inputs when executing complicated combo attacks.

So, if you're looking to gain an edge over the competition in games like Helldivers 2, Call of Duty, or Overwatch, then you can't go wrong with the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, as it's one of the best Xbox gamepads out there.

"The Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition is the more affordable, wired alternative to the V3 Pro. It's the exact same foundation, with an identical design and controls, but drops with wireless connectivity and other extras, and dons a wire." ~ Zachary Boddy
