Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition - Unboxing, Review, and Comparison to the Wolverine V3 Pro!

[@vt_xcezza]

you just earned yourself another subscriber good video could you make a video about the 5 best controller for consoles and pc ? 2024 is almost over so it would be fitting

[@OldManRob13]

@@vt_xcezza Thank you! A Top 5 video has been on my mind the last couple weeks! I’ve got 2 or 3 gamepads waiting to be reviewed, so gotta get through those first, but planning to do one before the end of the year!

[@noneofyourbusiness4661]

Great video! Have you noticed any bad input delay on the sticks? I'm considering buying it but in vcuda's review of the pro version he said there was significantly more input delay on the sticks than switches, but I haven't seen any testing data nor have I heard about it on controller before. Thank you!

[@OldManRob13]

@@noneofyourbusiness4661 the only data I’ve seen on stick latency is on GamepadLA, but Vcuda uploaded those results, so it’s the same numbers he gave in his video. That said, I maintain that I don’t think the Wolverine V3 feels great in terms of responsiveness/accuracy. If you’re on Xbox it’s not a bad choice, because options are so very limited, but if you’re on PC there are better gamepads at or below this price point.

[@TheDaveler]

Thank you for making this video.

[@pandoro2003]

I have both controllers use the TE more just because, It felt a lot Better after stick calibrations, BUT the resolution part if are correct is concerning.

[@joshuasavoy7443]

Great review. Thanks for comparing both gamepads!

[@NeightrixPrime]

Not being able to avoid drift without a 3% minimum dead zone is a big no-go.

[@enwz96]

I had the same thought hoping the TE was a better buy. Damn Razer

[@myteor5576]

Holy shit no wonder the TE felt so bad to use compared to the TMR it doesn't actually affect gameplay but damn

[@MonderMatrix]

the stick resolution is surprisingly low but the actual input lag accoring to Gamepadla is very good , and having less than 100 points on the sticks will still be bellow the recommended minimum of 125 points. this is vry revealing and it's a flaw and shouldn't exist in my opinion , how did they allow such a very low resolution ?!!

[@OldManRob13]

@@MonderMatrix yeah, I was very surprised, it explains why it feels so bad. I really don’t understand how/why the Pro and TE versions have different resolutions, either. It’s pretty disappointing.

[@MonderMatrix]

@OldManRob13 that is why we need people to review the products

[@StickyGeko]

So what controllers are you guys using

[@MonderMatrix]

@@StickyGeko i use Flydigi vader 4 pro, Bigbig won Blitz 2 and EasySMX x20

[@cz3ky]

Should I buy the TE or the Pro edition for PC?

[@OldManRob13]

@@cz3ky Neither if you’re on PC - there are just way better options for less money. If I had to pick one it would be the Pro. The thumbsticks perform better on the Pro, and in a recent update they apparently removed the ability to even adjust the deadzone on the TE (according to Reddit, I haven’t tested it yet), but the only reason I would pick up either version of the Wolverine V3 is for Xbox, due to the limited options for console. On PC you’d be way better off with the Vader 4 Pro or Blitz 2, just to name a couple of my favorites.

[@BennyboyA2b]

So what...In other words the v3 isn't without drift or what? Because i was going to buy it but now i'm not so sure anymore.

[@s1aver1]

I have the TE I'm now thinking of exchanging for the pro. If I'm going to pony up the extra $ I was wondering if you prefer scuff envision pro or the razer v3 pro? I'm fine with just PC for the scuff & the razers lvl of customization. My main concern is with the 6 extra in game buttons, which layout do you prefer. Also any idea what the resolution of the scuff thumb sticks are? And will kontrolfreeks work on the scuff? Also which d-pad do you prefer? Thanks.

[@OldManRob13]

@@s1aver1 I would have to say I prefer the layout of the Razer as far as the extra buttons go, but I have heard many people say that they love the layout of the envision pro once they got used to it, so it might possibly be that I haven’t put enough hours into it to get used to the two side buttons. I’ve always thought those extra buttons on the envision were a cool idea, and am still a little surprised nobody else has copied that design. That said, if I were spending $200 on a controller, it would be hard for me to talk myself into the Envision, if for no other reason than that it has potentiometer thumbsticks. And as much as I’ve criticized the lack of customization available in the Razer app…Scuf’s iCue software is MUCH worse, despite having more features. It hardly works at all, and sometimes when it doesn’t work, the controller won’t even connect. I’ve had the app lose connection with the envision pro during games, both wired and wireless…maybe I got a lemon with my unit, but I’ve had enough issues that I stopped using it entirely pretty quickly.

[@s1aver1]

​@@OldManRob13 So I picked up a Razer V3 pro & a Scuf Envision pro. Though the V3 pro is better than the V3 TE, I ended up keeping the Scuf. I agree the extra button layout on the Razer is a bit better(the paddle that is a membrane button on the Scuf requires too much force) but I just don't like the thumbsticks I'm not sure if it's the tension or if I just don't like the feel of hall effect sticks but I shoot better on both the Scuf & MS elite 2. Also the Envsions sticks resolution is 1200 pts incase anyone was wondering but it's more the feel than resolution as to why I preferred them. Also the controller feels much more premium, has a better D-Pad/face buttons(regular mechanical not a membrane mechanical hybrid). Hopefully I don't end up having the issues with it you did. In icue if you set the controller to device memory mode you only need to use icue to set/save profiles to the device memory otherwise you can close it so it's not running in the background. May help.

[@OldManRob13]

@ yeah, the local profiles work and avoid that issue, but you can’t set keyboard inputs on local profiles, unfortunately.

[@zool4013]

I just bought this controller and am thinking abour returning it after using it for a day They recently removed the ability to calibrate the joysticks on the te in the most recent firmware. I wasn't a fan of the higher stick tension. Maybe I should give it more time?

[@OldManRob13]

@ Whoa, seriously? They removed the ability to calibrate the joysticks? I’ll test this later today…but yeah. If they removed that, this controller went from “not great” to…I dunno. Kinda bad.

[@josev6368]

Hello sir im not a pro but i play alot of coll of duty i like this controller i use the stock that comes with with the xbox series x What will be a good controller with less stick drift and lag almost free .

[@OldManRob13]

My honest opinion is that there isn't' a perfect option for Xbox at the moment. If I were in the market for a new controller specifically for use on Xbox, I would probably wait a few weeks and see if GameSir announces/launches the G7 Pro. I'm hoping that will be the go-to controller for Xbox in the near future.

[@josev6368]

@ thanks appreciate your help. I’m gonna wait.

[@OldManRob13]

@@josev6368 They’ve been teasing it for months…I keep thinking it will launch any time now.

[@pedroortiz7106]

I have the V3 T. E. & the right analog stick can be pulled up & pushed down a couple of centimeters. I don't know if that's a feature to make the right stick a bit taller, but the right stick doesn't catch drift nor anything negative happens... I want to know if this happens to anyone else who has the TE edition.

Do you think it's worth it to buy the wired controller for cod or stick to my game sir g7 ? I am really waiting for the game sir g7 pro to drop so maybe I'll hold out for that. I am on Xbox and I really tried to like the thrust master but the build quality on those are quite poor.

[@OldManRob13]

@@ericcousinojr5222 man, as much as I love the physical feel of the V3, there’s no shot I would use this for CoD over the G7. Others may say differently, but the G7 absolutely feels more responsive/accurate to me. If you’ve waited this long, I would try to hold out for the G7 pro..will likely have wireless option at less than the cost of the wired V3.

So it’s not drift free its bs that Hall effect has zero drift

[@mookdook1878]

Its not bs if you want it to not drift you have to keep it 10+

It’s not bs at all I’ve had a Hall effect controller for an entire year and it never got stick drift.

[@TheDaveler]

Hall sensors still use physical contacts. The brushes wear out, and can still be faulty out of box. TMR sensors are superior. Magnets have zero contact, and never wear.
