Tripping over the Wolverine’s cord should do no more than disrupt a few seconds of play while you connect the cable back together. The nice thing is that it’s a nicely braided, fully breakaway cord. For those of us that play from across the room on the couch, it’s a bit of a bummer (for those of us with new kittens, it’s possibly life-threatening). The only downside is that the Wolverine is 100% wired. Is It Worth the Premium? My son had a brief moment of sadness for the cash he’d spent on his custom controller (left), then shoved it in a drawer forever. Will it make me a Widowmaker main? Probably not, but now I can at least snipe without embarrassing myself (more than usual). What this means for players like me who just can’t seem to track without blowing past their target is that I can tweak sensitivity way down to compensate for my complete lack of fine motor skills. With it, you can increase or lower the track rate of the thumbstick with a button press (again, customizable via the Synapse app). One of my favorite features is the “Focus/Agile” customization. All those changes can be combined into templates and saved so that you can toggle between them with the press of a dedicated button. Anyone who’s ever customized a piece of Razer hardware on the PC will feel right at home. Light patterns, haptic feedback level (that’s vibration to you and me), template creation, button remapping, and more are all accessible via the Synapse app for XBox. It’s ostentatious, sure, but it’s the kind of bling that I’m a sucker for. You can tweak it to glow in hundreds of different colors and seven different glow patterns. Just like Razer’s PC hardware, the Wolverine’s light strip is completely customizable. I was ready to make the Wolverine my main controller before I even plugged it in, but once I did, the Razer Synapse features joined the party. Razer Synapse Customization Trust me, don’t skip the tutorial. The thumbsticks and D-pad are magnetic for easy interchangeability. The Wolverine has triggers and extra shoulder buttons just like the XBox Elite Wireless controller, interchangeable thumbsticks (short and domed), and two different D-pad styles (one 4-way classic, one multi-directional). More switches than you’ll know what to do with. The textured grips ensure that the controller won’t slip out of my hands during long play sessions. The heft and finish of the Wolverine screamed “top tier” as soon as I took it out of the included hard case. If there’s another peripheral manufacturer that has as good of a handle on superior materials (other than Apple), I’m not aware of them. Out of the Box Impressions I’m a sucker for accessory storage (Image: Anthony Karcz) That’s right, I haven’t even laid hands on an XBox One X yet, and I’m willing to go on the record as saying Razer’s Wolverine Ultimate XBox controller is the best piece of kit you can buy for Microsoft’s latest console.Īnd yes, I’m considering Microsoft’s own Elite controller. Good enough that you can give your Elite controller notice.
