Razer is my personal go-to company for third-party Xbox controllers. They rarely, if ever, miss the mark for achieving solid controls with zero latency and comfy ergonomics so I can play for hours without damaging my wrists.
Two of Razer's best Xbox controllers from its current V3 series that live up to this high standard are currently enjoying discounts, a week ahead of Black Friday.
Why buy the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro and its Tournament Edition sibling?
Now personally, my favorite Razer controller will always be the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma, but I can't deny my colleague, Richard Devine's, enthusiasm for the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, as he gave it a near-perfect review score of 4.5/5, for good reason.
It's an astonishingly well-made Xbox controller with a smooth and comfy ergonomic design and super-responsive controls that don't suffer any latency thanks to Razer's unique HyperSpeed wireless connectivity tech, and high polling rates of 220Hz on Xbox Series X|S, and 1000Hz on PC.
It also features triggers and additional backpedals and bumpers with Razer Mouse tech, and Hall Effect analog sticks increase the controller's input accuracy and performance.
These features can be really useful in fast-paced, first-person shooters like Call of Duty Black Ops 7 as they'll help you achieve mouse+keyboard levels of precision when aiming and firing your guns.
So, if you need a wireless controller with pinpoint accurate controls to help beat your foes in competitive PvP games like Call of Duty or Arc Raiders, then the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is a fine choice.
However, if you can't afford the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro at its discounted price of $159.99 at Amazon, or you don't care about wireless connectivity, then I recommend its wired-only sibling, the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition.
It features all the technological advancements of the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro, while sacrificing wireless connectivity for a much more affordable MSRP, which has dropped even further from $99.99 to $59.99 at Amazon.
