Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Review-Big Pros and Cons

[@aaronp9835]

I love this thing. Better than the Elite 2 that was constantly breaking on me.

I had 3 elite series 2’s and all 3 broke within weeks, I got this and it’s a dream compared to that.

I'm looking for 8000 or higher polling. i play on a rtx 4080 super and i9 12 gen and supposedly this controller and the pro edge have 8000 polling isnt that the most importance

[@meYogii_]

I use this controller to PC, but after using it for a year the controller isn't always recognized by the PC, like it's slacking, sometimes the controller shuts down and u need to unplug it, and then plug it back in to make it work. Extremely annoying and it definitely interrupt ur gameplay in a bad way. I do not recommend buying this.

[@JAX-xp4mz]

DONT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS GAMER this thing is so akward if you are doing anything competitive its purley for minecraft and other games like that its awful im so dissapointed

[@eeymanjones]

Hmm I am looking for a fighting gane controller. This might be something to look into for me.

[@melastname6548]

to whom it may concern: this is long because its a stupid amount of money for a piece of plastic. & if you work for a living, you're watching this a yr later because you're about to spend a lot of money on a corded controller. ive had mine for a yr or so now, got it with points for trading in ps4 pro at gs. (for an X), I wouldn't pay the amount they want for these. I swap regularly between this & stock. im not a "gamer", only play for a couple of hrs at a time if I can. mostly fps, Starfield, farcry etc. I agree w most of what you said. the back buttons are weird and rarely use them. the bottom ones stick out & you will hit them occasionally w your fingers. ironically they were the entire reason I bought it, however I like the top 2 buttons far more, and rarely use the rears. I like dome sticks as well and wish they included more. my favorite things about this controller is the more "bulbous" shape of the handles. I think the stock controller is ridiculously small. im about your size I think, 5'10 160 with small to average hands, & hate the stock controllers size. this is faaaar better. they force you're pinky & ring fingers further out resulting in less cramping for me. I Love the mechanical buttons. I thought it was a gimmicky marketing tactic until I played w it. now my next controller will have to have them. I initially didn't think the cable would be an issue, however ive grown to hate its guts. I play in the living room and it drags and catches on everything within a 3 ft range seemingly. I'll finally get sick of it and pick up a far inferior stock controller just to not have to deal with the cable. at full price $150 now, its eh good but too much. if on sale, lets say 60-80, its pretty damn good.

[@Tom-nh5lr]

Wolverine tournament has much better paddles then the ultimate so does the razer wildcat

[@shivawinter1298]

I wish I'd seen your honest review before buying one and returning it same day, because of lack of haptic vibration. hell pretty much the lack of any vibration feedback at all :(

[@slaya2neat149]

thats strange your share button doesnt work, ive owned this same controller for a little while now and my works perfectly altho i will say sometimes it just takes a screen shot but it works about 90% of the time

[@MrEgg-]

The one thing that makes me not wanna buy it is the location of the back paddles.. I'm too used to the back paddles of the elite series 2

[@TorchBioncle]

i got this controller and because how big my hands are this controller works really really well but when it comes to fortnite i use the powera fusion pro 2 and because of how fast the thumb sticks are for the power A i’m really struggling getting use to the razor thumb sticks but besides that this is the BEST controller i have EVER used

[@robertsmith4261]

Bought this controller based on reading a few reviews, Was hesitant due to the "cons" have had it for more than 18 months, for me its been great, At first was put off by the shape shell shape differences, but quickly came to love the fit, the back paddles never adapted to using them, found the 2 front map-able buttons more of a plus, being able to change the left stick to a dome and the right to a concave, for me made gaming better, The 2 small buttons on either side of the big xbox button just more thumb friendly position than the standard controller placement to me, Expensive is all relative, more than I wanted to spend but I'm glad I gave it a chance like a good pair of shoes it just fits well and has held up good, and yes hand size may be relative,

[@2AMrogue]

I’m 6’4 or 6’5 and my hands are hella big I’ma be able to put it in one hand fully

Trust. I got this controller the chroma over a year ago. No stick drift at all. Maybe I got lucky but the controller is just amazing. People say this and that about the ergonomics but it feels fine. I got the v2 and it broke within 6 months. Chroma is a major step for the better

Is there any source on Elite Series 2 controllers having new quality control? My THIRD Series 2 has now gone to shit and as much as I love this controller, I'd feel like a massive idiot giving MS another $100 for an out of warranty replacement.

[@richboss_]

Supposedly the ones with a yellow or green line on the box have much better QC. I just recently sent my og series 2 for repair (not with Microsoft) and it turns out the reason why the series 2 has so many problems is bc Microsoft uses very very low quality joysticks & bumpers. The good ones are made by ALPS and mine had some generic Chinese ones.

[@SOSBOY4EVER]

Can I have a private meeting with you gamer heaven the guide for putting in ram I messed up and I'm a kid and I told my mom that I wasn't gonna mess up but I did so I can't ask her for geek squad or somebody

[@housebaelishgaming]

It's very easy little buddy, ram slots typically have 1 or two latches that hold the stick into place, you simply pull those latches back and the ram will let itself out. If your installing ram then you can push one side in first then give the other side a good push BUT if you can master the art of lining it up perfect and pushing both sides in at the same time then that is even better. When you push it in don't be afraid but your going to hear a very audible CLICK when you push it in and if you do one side of the stick at a time you'll hear CLICK CLICK that is the sound of the latch securing your ram in place! Yay! You did it!

[@juliomarban4504]

Hey, nice review. I'm trying to choose a controller, and I'm a bit confused: why you liked the paddles in the wolverine ultimate but not in the wolverine chrome, exactly? Besides the material, are they not the same? Btw, I have another question. I have an issue with a dodge mechanic added to skyrim in the ultimate dodge mod. You need to change the sneak mechanic or another one (somewhat, as far as I remember) for the dodge mechanic to be able to use it. When I hear people reviewing these controllers I've got the impression that I couldn't assing the action to the new buttons, but rather reassing actions previously set by default to a sort of stock type of button display, is that right? I hope I explained myself correctly Thank you for your video and your time

[@OkiDingo]

Might need to work on the editing of this video. Your video is showing one thing while you are saying something else. And also the camera drop, lol

[@FernandoRodriguez-fj5pj]

How do I switch profiles on this controller?

[@linkfain1]

Just got this controller tonight because my time-worn razer ultimate edition finally crapped out. Honestly, this controller is trash and a step down from the ultimate. I have large hands and the grip on this controller for me is terrible. At first you'll think "oh this is sculpted and conforms to the hand for comfortable grip" but within an hour it became painfully clear that the ends of the controller grip are little nubs that don't extend far enough for a solid grip. I find my pinky and ring fingers slipping off the ends a lot which was never a problem on my ultimate. The placement of the start/select buttons are god awful. The shoulders, bumpers, and macro buttons are awful soft plastic instead of what they used on the ultimate. The sticks are absolutely poorly designed. The removable thumbstick caps should be doing the work of increasing/decreasing the overall height of the thumbsticks. However, 99% of the thumbstick is the post the magnetic thumb caps click onto meaning the base height is uber tall. This gets in the way of my traversal from stick to A button which is a big no for me. The natural position of where my thumb wants to fall comes short of where the face buttons actually are which is very odd. The face buttons are just position ever so slightly higher which is just strange. The switches themselves are great but the travel time is horrendous compared to the ultimate's "feather touch to activate" switches. Overall, it just feels like they made this fisher price controller with cheaper parts and awkward design just to say they innovated on something. In reality, it is inferior in every way but the one saving grace being the switches. All in all I'm going to order another wolverine ultimate for sure this week since they don't carry them anymore in stores and return this monstrosity.

[@Mark-mu4pj]

I've had 2 of these controllers. Both had failures of the buttons, one with A, the other B, within 6 months. Just stopped working.
