Razer Lifts the Curtain on New Wolverine Tournament Edition Gaming Controller
Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today unveiled the Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition, an addition to its Razer Wolverine XBOX controller line designed specifically for professional gamers. The new controller retains the ergonomic design and highly praised features of Wolverine Ultimate. Tested and validated by many of the world's best professional esports athletes, the Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition ensures the highest levels of performance and comfort.
"Razer has been great to work with throughout the development of the Wolverine Tournament Edition, taking direct feedback from our professional players and implementing it into the controller," says Alex Gonzalez, Head of Red Reserve's North American Operations. "This process has helped guarantee that the wolverine gives our players the biggest edge over the rest of the competitive scene.
The Wolverine Tournament Edition also introduces Razer Mecha-Tactile Action Buttons, which combine the soft-cushioned touch of a membrane rubber dome with crisp tactile clicks of a mechanical switch. The distinct feel of the controller makes it a unique choice for professional console gamers.
The controller offers extraordinary customization via Razer Synapse for Xbox, the all-in-one configuration software designed for XBOX ONE and Windows 10.
Multi-function buttons can be mapped to create more than 500 customized profiles to fit different playstyles for each game title. They can also enjoy the advantage of "focus" and "agile" settings to reach greater headshot aiming precision or speedy response by changing sensitivity of thumb stick movement. Lighting effects powered by Razer Chroma allow for an immersive gaming experience, and the RGB LED lighting will flash together with the controller's vibrations and other button actions. These visual settings can be customized and stored via Razer Synapse for Xbox.
The Razer Wolverine Tournament Edition is compatible with Xbox One and PC (Windows 10).

30 Comments on Razer Lifts the Curtain on New Wolverine Tournament Edition Gaming Controller
The best DPAD I used was on a Genesis and Dreamcast, for fighting games.
That's my personal benchmark for quality.
This is a bit pricey, but it looks like it has a lot to offer over normal controllers. But $130? If the D-pad feels good, then ok.
@Chino ;
Is TPU going to review it?
Funnily, I think some of the Xbox team originally evolved from former Sega employees (or their was some partnership at one point). Their very original XB prototypes were very Dreamcast like.
(well subpar to the Xbox One classic controller also)me too .... :laugh:actually 377.56$ (the price was in Aus $) US store price is $299.00 (which is not too bad compared to the original $149.99 for the standard edition
the Elite you can set the course length on the analogiques trigger, add 4 paddle button under the main frame change the Dpad and analogues stick (3 different length ) and they are quite sturdy and last a long time (even the X360 type is superior to any razer's offering in term of build quality )for the standard version it is.... / not needed for a wired controller, but with the accu pack (or like i do with 2 2000mAh accu, tho i use it wired recently) it's more than sufficient
for the Forza version: scuf paddle, "high grade material" (aka: Alcantara, carbon fiber and custom theme) and still all the options found in the standard version (granted, for me it's not worth doubling the price) and it's a limited edition (how much limited? don't know ... certainly not on the level of the "only 50 pieces, full carbon body" one )
(scufgaming.com/s/scuf-elite/ for the reference)
the "what's in" (with both version description)
In the box
AH?!!??? Razer .... pfahahahahahahaha even the new offering is ... Razer'ish ... (btw it's a wired, but nonetheless "great battery life" is not something to associate with Razer :laugh: nor "great quality", personal experience :laugh: extra feature mmhhh more like "extra gimmick" but well that's the only thing they have in the end) for me it's more "with Razer, you know what to expect, overpriced and bound to fail in the first 6 months"
it has 4 more button, the elite has 4 more too but they are on paddle with a different layout which enable them to be used by other fingers than index and the price tag is not much different.
if the Elite (not talking about the Scuf Forza stop focusing on it ;) ) addition is nonsense ... then Razer's solution is nonsense too (tho choosing Razer alone is nonsense ... :laugh: ) does all the "addition" from Razer make it worth it over a 60$ Xbox one classic controller? not with that build ... the Dpad? mmhhh no issues with the normal cross Dpad or the one from the Elite, if i have to pay double i rather take the one from M$ the quality is here the features too.
that being said my Xbox one is wired, but can be wireless too when i want it and the Elite can also be wired (cable is include in the box iirc, while i have my own cable for my actual)
and yes the Elite is worth 150$ unlike the Wolverine who isn't worth at all the 139.99€ price tag (which translate into 165.07$ instead of the 119.99$ for me )obviously yes, that make way more sense :)
