Razer Wolverine V2 Wired Gaming Controller

The face buttons on the Razer Wolverine V2 are smaller than those on first-party Xbox controllers, and the layout of both buttons is more spread out. The controller has two additional buttons added in the center, with one there to match the Xbox Core Controller’s new share button. The “X” home button in the middle is the same as the previous Wolverine models and it appears cheap and slightly off-centered. The rest of the face buttons are on par with the Xbox’s controllers, which matters the most as it is the industry standard. The D-pad on the Wolverine is slightly better than the Xbox controllers and gives gamers a bit more control.

Gamers love that this controller offers two additional multi-function buttons on the front center of the console. These buttons can be remapped to allow for exciting customized play. The triggers on the controller have slide-locks that can be used to reduce travel and implement a hair trigger mode.

The Bottom Line

Razer Wolverine V2 Wired Gaming Controller is an improvement to the first iteration of the Xbox-like controller, and it offers a contoured design and non-slip rubber grip that some gamers prefer. It is a good option for gamers that want a wired controller with strong customization options and additional buttons to personalize. Think of this product as a wired Elite 2 Controller without the interchangeable paddles.
