Razer's Best Controller Yet BUT... Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Review

[@Alacod19]

I think it's more you are used to the PS controller buttons than Razors buttons being an issue. Tbh it didn't even look like your finger was sliding off you just lack input accuracy. Especially If you're missing those giant face buttons on the PS controller like you demonstrated and it seems to be a frequent thing. This is more of a user preference/issue. If you like bigger face button just say that, don't blame Razor.

[@steamconnected6671]

+ this gamepad suprisenly looks like not shit

[@SadielVidal]

Exactly not only that being like that the buttons it makes them easier too press for claw players

[@n64slayer]

I still wouldn't recommend this controller to the majority of people

[@Arcane1415]

I agree bro my normal xbox controller buttons are the exact same as he describes and I have no trouble with them at all.

[@OrcasArePenguins]

Please note that the "input delay" in minute 12:15 is not the actual input delay but the intervall between polls. Actual input delay would be substantially higher. Polling rate software like Xinputtest can not test input delay. The differeces can often be multiple milliseconds. Otherwise really good review. I like the fact that you also give a deeper analysis of the shape of the buttons instead of just saying that you dont like them.

[@n64slayer]

yes and no

[@OrcasArePenguins]

@@n64slayer For allmost every controller the difference between polling intervall and input delay is so large that it doesnt really make sense to use this metric to describe the delay. Let me give you some examples: Gamesir T4K: polling intervall 1ms - input delay 1-3ms Flydigi Apex 4: polling intervall 1ms - input delay 7-9ms GuliKitKK3 Max: polling intervall 1ms - input delay 10-12ms TB Stealth Ultra: polling intervall 4ms - input delay 7-9ms The latencys can vary from unit to unit, so your most likely going to find slightly different results online. An extreme example would be the KK3 max using the wireless dongle. it will still show sub 1ms polling intervalls on xinput test. The stick latency can however increase to more then 40ms in some instances.

[@n64slayer]

@@OrcasArePenguins I don't need you to explain yourself Lil bro

[@OrcasArePenguins]

@@n64slayer Well i know... the thing is people watch the yt review to inform themselves and make purchase decisions. You would probably agree that showing the viewers an input delay chart that is off by a factor of 5 or more is not really optimal.

[@n64slayer]

@OrcasArePenguins idk about you, but I didn't even see him test the input delay. If they really wanted to know, they would watch a video that does or do it themselves.

Great review! Anybody ever tell you that you sound like the hunter from looney tunes? Brought memories back lol

Hopefully you do an updated review of the razer raion with pivot mod.

[@User.665]

still have my v2, best dpad I've ever used. Can't play tekken without it.

[@guybrushthreepwood8174]

Interesting, because i noticed the buttons on my older Wolverine Ultimate are very easy to press, and also flat. So they had the right thing, then decided to change it for the Chroma model which i also have. It really is impossible to find the perfect controller. I'm like you, I always program the extra button to be the stick click. Hate clicking stick.

[@mikedergalev]

@@guybrushthreepwood8174 I have all my face buttons remapped on the back and on M1/M2 but I never had any problems like miss click or finger slip. Imo it's clickbait "con")

[@Y-J65]

I had this and had to send it back, it’s built well and feels good in the hand but this gave me cramps in my hands within 10 mins. The series s/x oem controllers are the most comfortable controller imo, it’s a shame Microsoft haven’t released a controller with Hall effect sticks.

[@sweetshoez]

Streets been waiting for this

[@ASConviction]

You should add TK inputs to your tests. Play BB and it's integral to a couple characters for like Nu's optimal combo's and Hazama's neutral. I tried the Razer wolverine V2 pro and it skipping forward/back the 4/6 input with rolls makes it unusable for those characters. The astro c40 also has the same issue.

[@SCarter02767]

I'm weally disappointed now. Thank you for an honest review, everyone talks about all the good stuff. I'm still waiting for a perfect controller for Xbox. Need mouse click, changeable thumbsticks w hall effect, analog trigger with mouse click lock, i also prefer the dpad to be the plus only. Finally, programmable bottom buttons in a comfortable position, prefer 4. If anyone knows of one like this, not $200+, please let me know.

[@right8630]

I own this controller he is so wrong it’s actually annoying I own the elite 2 and the scuff instinct pro and this controller beats them both. He is a play station player Xbox has always had rounded buttons since the og he is the only person that has this complaint the face buttons are quicker and have feedback unlock regular membrane switches. This controller is built for fps and pro style players he is obviously more of a single player gamer which is fine.

[@chanceyknows4445]

I just picked this controller up from best-buy. I love it but not used to the joysticks being more sticky than the ps5 controller I was using. The ps5 sticks were loose and the v3 are a bit tougher so when I’m playing warzone I can definitely notice it

[@kpatt2006]

Razer has a few problems with this new V3, but not really the ones mentioned in this video lol. They curved the grips way too much and made them too short, making it tough to get a comfortable grip. The sticks are slightly loose and have stick drift out of the box. I was comparing it to the vader 4 pro to pick one, and the vader 4 won. The vader has none of the problems that the razer does, while having more features. I just wish Flydigi would add the extra top two bumper buttons.

[@FrameCounting]

Yes, you are correct. I didn't notice it because I got used to it. They did curved the grips more than they should making not very comfortable for long sessions.

[@erheetrherh2659]

Its a good controller although pad feels heavy and without headphones it sound very clicky, but in hectic online play feels also kinda mushy, and yeah the face buttons are too heavy, theres no differentation in the heaviness when its click to on position.

[@MotionBankzzz]

3:48 purposely slides finger off the button of the Razer 😂

[@FrameCounting]

Of course I did that on purpose to demonstrate it….🙄 I wouldn’t be able to do that with flat buttons. lol 😂

[@LIFTEDIT1]

Strange: I just opened my V3 Pro today and upon first click of the face buttons, I thought to myself: "That's nice, they're still mechanical switches, but less resistance" (comparing to it's outgoing predecessor, the Wolverine Tournament Edition V2 - and I've had 2 of those units over the past 4-5 years). I think the general sentiment for mechanical switches in controllers is negative. I like it. I haven't used it in practice yet, but I do like the idea of the triggers having switches when hair-trigger is on, and retain their regular pull/feel when off. They need to unify their software and bring Synapse to Xbox. The stand-alone controller app is lacking (why can't we copy profiles from old to new controllers?).

[@gamer_jebjeb3063]

Just to add: triggers switching between linear and switch activation is more found in China controllers and it's a really good feature. It gets more complicated tho on the travel and resistance in different modes. :) Can't wait to get my hands on this controller too

[@saulsadip]

It looks like the “Tournament Edition” of this controller (which is wired only) has different face buttons. They look to be textured, not smooth. Really odd change, but this could perhaps help your thumbs not slide off?

[@contactrpg5936]

Aside from the practical gripes, the price of this controller is nowhere near alright.

[@Ejp23_]

Get the Tournament edition wired. 100$

[@sheikhu1039]

Was looking forward to this 🙌🏾

[@MrHowlforever]

Really great review

[@johnpreston230]

If have the V2 and the buttons are great. If they are the same on the V3, then I can say that I do not agree with you on that take that the face buttons are bad. No, they are amazing, and I don't want to press other buttons every again. They are amazing!!!!

[@FrameCounting]

They are not the same unfortunately…

[@titzmageex]

Ive literally never had my finger "slide off" on any button, on any controller ever. This is a huge reach.

[@AnbenK]

didnt expect the Monke to show up lol

[@myyoutubecommentschannel8784]

Great review as always!

[@cryptoandcloud]

I'm happy I opted for the tournament edition.. half the price. No wireless but I rather wait for the elite 3

[@stinkybeam]

12:16 Xbox Elite V2 only have 64hz polling rate??? really? it's so bad to believe

[@FrameCounting]

It’s really bad over Bluetooth. Play wired.

[@BBIX787]

Thanks for the review

[@Mrchiefsaygg]

I love everything about this controller but the most important part the Hall effect sticks are bad compared to the g7 se. Wolverine uses the K* Hall effect but idk if that’s y I can’t aim or if it’s the thumb sticks being too thick. Any one elce agree?😊

[@luisdavidgarciar.orozco7860]

It's a FPS controller, is designed to be used with the extra buttons and not the XYABs, so if those are shit, its a huge whatever

[@RitzyBusiness]

It's a $200 controller, it shouldn't be meh anywhere.

[@elmarulian]

I was looking forward for this review, thanks!, also the tournament edition (wired only) I believe it have textured buttons, maybe they slip less?

[@Torpedophile-k9e]

Boyyy give me them buttons one day they will need with my see how they soften like a mudd

[@toddthegod3221]

Homie you really reachin

[@OrcisThaBallboy]

Only buy if you want stick drift straight out of the box on a $200 controller. It was so perfect but I’m so upset that I have to take it back tomorrow

[@ZimpanX]

There was a firmware update released meant to address this issue, did you try applying that?

[@OrcisThaBallboy]

@@ZimpanX yes unfortunately I did and it still didn’t fix the stick drift

[@tim6986]

did you have deadzone to 0?

[@N1two]

@@tim6986 @ZimpanX do you set the deadzone to 1 to fix it? Also, how does this do for wireless play with only 250hz poll rate? Is there lots of input delay?

[@tim6986]

@@N1two just got it today, 1 isn't an option. 5 is lowest before 0, i used that and it feels fine. i don't have any issues with input delay. but i play on console and i think stock controllers aren't even as fast as the slow speed.

[@arestolentino315]

is it compatible for nintendo switch?

[@TheKontrarian]

the sticks are the main thing that make me dislike the Xbox controller compared to the Dualsense. These look pretty much identical to the Xbox sticks. Have you tried the 8Bitdo 2C yet?

[@tperri1324]

What controller do you recommend for FPS games for Xbox?

[@FrameCounting]

Sorry my friend. I don't play FPS so I can't give a good answer.

[@LegitPunisherProGaming]

That thing was uncomfortable

[@GregInTechnicolor]

I feel like this was made more for FPS games than fighting games.

[@SadielVidal]

Most defenetly

[@O5IR15]

Definitely an FPS focused controller. I don’t even touch the face buttons playing Call of Duty. Everything on those buttons is mapped to the back buttons. It’s amazing for the fact that I can map my to most used d pad buttons to the top so my thumbs practically never leave the sticks. I can see it being frustrating for fighting games, and agree it’s a huge oversight that would definitely make this controller absolutely perfect though.

[@jansoete1369]

Hello, first of all I would like to thank you for the great tests you are doing.and then I have another question. I'm currently playing mk1 and using the Wolverine v2 for it. But I'm thinking about getting a new controller. What do you prefer the v3 or the rakiri pro or is neither of them an upgrade??? especially when it comes to the d pad.

[@FrameCounting]

If you use the back buttons a lot then V3. If not, I’d stick with the V2.

[@jansoete1369]

So you would say the d Pad ist the Same on the v3 and V2 ?? And it is better then the rakiri pro d Pad ??

[@juchunkura]

What is the best controllers for you so far especially to play sf6?

[@sweetshoez]

Ps5 pro controller bc he has extra buttons, or a hitbox. But you can play the game with anything it’s not a big deal

[@Ejp23_]

Series x controller or huate 42 hitbox only 50-60$. If you need a controller then Xbox series x has the best dpad

[@ethancsp1449]

You can try a flydigi controller, like direwolf 2, vader 4 pro and apex 4, their dpad is smooth and clicky for me, vader series have extra 2 face buttons too, think you can try that.

[@juchunkura]

ty boys

[@right8630]

This controller is ment for fps games mainly but it’s the best pro controller on the market and I own a lot of pro controllers.
