    I reviewed Razer’s Wolverine V2 Chroma controller only a little over a month ago, and while I’m in no way vain enough to believe Razer made all the changes I asked for in that video to this, the Wolverine V3 Pro, because of me, they sure did make all the changes I asked for! This controller is nearly perfect - so let me show you around it so you can see what’s new, we’ll even put the new 1000 hertz polling rate mode to the test with my Open Source Latency Testing Tool (the new CS model no less!) and you can see if this bad boy is worth the cash. Let’s get into it!

      But they also made a mistake witht theire v2 ps5 verison that was fixed on a earlier controller. They reintroduced a horrible deadzones on the stick. Theire where alot of negative revieuws of the earlier model that they fixed it. and then just because the development team was to lazy to update the software. the reintroduced the deadzone problems on the new wolverine v2.
      And it took month for them to somewhat improve it again.

    YES the first thing i noticed is they moved the two menu buttons to where I can actually reach them comfortably. have NO IDEA how they thought putting those two buttons way up on the upper-sides was a good idea its like no one actually tested the controller. Oh wow they improved my favorite controller (v2 Chroma) in EVERY way it looks like. Wireless too!? yes i'm a wolverine simp but this thing looks great. Yes $200 is a lot but compare it to other $200 controllers. those are NOT hall effect usually, they are NOT wireless, and they often do not have these nicer buttons.

    Flydigi Apex 4/Vader 4 pro

      Those are some interesting choices, but never ever make the mistake of getting the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra.
      It's the cheapest "pro" controller I've ever seen, and it's absolutely not worth the inflated price.
      From that list I'd recommend the Vader 4 Pro, but if you want more gimmicky features, you can get Apex 4.
      The KK3 Max is a solid choice too, as it has the best paddles I've ever seen on a pro controller, but it's inferior to the Flydigi controllers in every other area.

    Honestly in my experience the Tournament Wolverine is way more durable than the Chroma V2 (have had 3 tournaments and 2 Chroma v2). Just feels like the quality has went down with the newer releases.
    The V3 Pro is almost 3 times more expensive than the disappointing V2. I ended up going for the Vader 4 Pro which feels amazing but can't speak on its durability.
    It's nice to see a larger company adapt hall effect thumbsticks though and hope they go for a more affordable price point as there's similar options at half the price.

    to ANYBODY watching this… i DO NOT recommend buying ANY of these knock off controllers with these paddles on them !!! i would recommend the Xbox Series 2 Elite controller, or a Scuf ONLY! the knock offs act very weird with your xbox. if you use a wired headset with these types of controllers there will always be some sort of white noise either you, or friends you’re talking to will annoyingly hear and notice, and when you have your controller plugged in to charge while you’re playing these noises tend to get even louder! also the knock offs have fixed paddles usually, so you can not remove them, or change the location of them, and none of the knock offs have accessories for them so if you want to replace a stick or a paddle your shxt out of luck! the Xbox elite controllers, and Scuf controllers have TONS of accessories if needed, and you can take the paddles off and switch placement of them, adjust your stick tension, and the entire sticks in general. trust me, you’re going to want to stick with TRUSTED and RELIABLE companies, these are expensive controllers so don’t make an uninformed purchase. you’re welcome in advance 😇

Putting buttons where you physically need to hold on to the controller means you consciously have to make an effort not to press them depending on how you hold the controller. I really hope these don't hamper how you need to hold the controller. If this helps, imagine having buttons under your palms on a controller. They would be easy to reach but you couldn't hold on too tightly or would need to adjust your grip not to actuate them. That's annoying.

You may have better hand discipline than me though because I may tense my grip in certain situations as a reflex so if my finger is resting on a button or a paddle from the elite controllers I'll probably actuate it. I personally think the better solution is to put them in an easy to reach spot near the grip, but maybe not right under where your hand would naturally hold.

    It looks great and I don't mind dropping 200 quid on a controller, but, as always, these things are only as good as their weakest component, cos once one button, stick, or trigger starts acting up, it makes the entire controller useless. For example, I've had several Elite Series 2s where one of the shoulder buttons starts to intermittently not register a press, or acts like I've pressed it twice when I've only pressed it once. I'm at the point where I have so little faith in these products that I'm not willing to take a punt on one until I hear some long-term reports from people who've used them regularly.

    Good review, but I'm disappointed you didn't discuss the battery at all. How much game time would a fully charged battery get you? Is the battery replaceable? Etc.

      Around 20 hours, but it will vary depending on the brightness of the RGB and vibration strength.

    Yeah nice, but that D-"pad" is a deal breaker. I'll just stick with 8bitdo.

    is theire going to be a ps5 version with all of these new changes? because the xbox version lacks a gyroscope.
