Razer Wolverine V4 Pro (Xbox, PC) controller review — The new standard.
The Razer Wolverine V4 Pro is the latest iteration of Razer’s premium Xbox controller line, released several weeks ago as a wireless option for Xbox and PC gaming. The controller arrives at a pivotal moment for Xbox peripherals: Microsoft has recently ended its exclusivity over the Xbox Wireless signal, allowing third-party manufacturers to produce wireless controllers for the first time.
This development is particularly significant as it enables third-party alternatives to finally incorporate modern features that Xbox had previously restricted, such as haptic feedback and TMR thumbsticks. Prior to this change, third-party Xbox controllers were limited to wired connections, lacking the technological advances that Microsoft reserved for its own official hardware.
The Wolverine V4 Pro represents the current standard for premium third-party Xbox controllers in this newly open market. With the Xbox Elite Series 3 still in the rumor stage and lacking a confirmed release date, the Wolverine V4 Pro stands as the most advanced wireless alternative currently available. According to Windows Central’s review, the controller may be the best Xbox controller the reviewer has tested, positioning it as a compelling option for players seeking a premium third-party alternative.
