Razer Wolverine V4 Pro wireless gaming controller review
Claws, sharpened.
The Razer Wolverine V4 Pro wireless gaming controller is a high-end device that offers improved features and customization options compared to its predecessor, the Wolverine V3 Pro. Despite its premium price of $200 / £200, the controller boasts several upgrades that make it stand out in the market.
The controller maintains the same comfortable chassis shape and excellent build quality as the V3 Pro, while also introducing capacitive sensors that provide superior resolution, magnetic interference resistance, and smoother tracking. These new sensors offer 3,000 steps of movement tracking per sensor, resulting in a more precise and responsive gaming experience.
In addition to the upgraded hardware, the V4 Pro offers a range of customizable features. The asymmetric layout includes two extra configurable buttons between the bumpers and triggers, as well as four mouse click paddle buttons on the underside. The triggers can be toggled between a full-throw action and a precise click, while the PBT face buttons offer a clickier, mecha-tactile feel compared to the standard V3 Pro.
The controller also features magnetic rear buttons and removable thumbstick caps, allowing users to tailor the device to their preferences. The rear buttons can be removed and replaced with flush-fit magnetic plates, and the thumbstick caps come in various shapes, such as short concave, taller versions, or convex replacements.
Battery life has been improved to a maximum of 27 hours, and the controller supports up to 8K polling for sub-1 ms response times. Connectivity options include 2.4 GHz wireless and USB Type-C wired connections. With its extensive feature set, the Razer Wolverine V4 Pro is an excellent choice for gamers seeking the best possible controller experience, despite its higher price point.
