Razer Announces the Wolverine Ultimate Gamepad for PC and Xbox One

btarunr · Aug 25, 2017

Razer, the leading global lifestyle brand for gamers, today announced the officially licensed Razer Wolverine Ultimate gaming controller for Xbox One and PC. The Razer Wolverine Ultimate was designed to adapt itself to any gamer. Two interchangeable D-Pads, a range of interchangeable thumbsticks with different heights and shape and a total of 6 remappable triggers and buttons - both via Razer Synapse for Xbox and on-the-fly - provide maximum customizability.

An integrated RGB lighting strip that can be controlled via Razer Synapse for Xbox adds more ways to personalize the controller and introduces Razer Chroma to Xbox gamers everywhere. Gamers can choose from 16.8 million colors and a variety of effects that include Static, Spectrum Cycling, Breathing, Wave and more. Additionally, the Razer Wolverine Ultimate will be the first console product to support the Razer Chroma SDK, allowing developers to integrate advanced lighting capabilities for Xbox One games, and console controllers for next level gaming immersion.

Everything about the Razer Wolverine Ultimate has been developed with highest levels of competition and performance in mind. Ultra-responsive tactile switch action buttons and an automatic hair-trigger mode with trigger stops round off the optimized ergonomics of this premium controller.

"We've taken our time with the development of the Razer Wolverine Ultimate to really get it right," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "Thanks to endless design iterations and pro-gamer feedback, we're proud to be finally releasing a new contender for the crown."

The Razer Wolverine Ultimate expands Razer's range of Xbox One peripherals consisting of the Razer Thresher Ultimate wireless gaming headset and the Razer Atrox fight stick.

I thought it was goong to be blue and yellow.

Not a big fan of micro USB connector. Even a proprietary connector would have been fine.

Ah, Razer Synapse. Shove it where the sun don't shine.

ShurikN · Aug 25, 2017

For that amount of money why would anyone go for this over the Elite controller?

Prima.Vera · Aug 25, 2017

180 Euros without VAT and taxes. For a shitty controller.... :kookoo:

natr0n · Aug 25, 2017

As much as I'm a controller connoisseur; that price isn't nice.

Liviu Cojocaru · Aug 25, 2017

It seems to be the ultimate controller but damn that's a hefty price

TheDeeGee · Aug 25, 2017

Isn't that like the worst kind of D-Pad?

Right!! I for sure would go with the cheaper M$ Elite controller if I needed a new controller!

Considering the Xbox One Elite controller exists, and Sony has an equivalent soon as well, I fail to see the need/desire for this

blobster21 · Aug 26, 2017

I can't see the differences between this wolverine ultime and the previous wildcat.

Maybe they got mixed up, Not a ultimate controller but a ultimate price tag.

Basard · Aug 27, 2017

I abuse the crap out of the rubber on the thumbsticks.... I wonder how strong this one's rubber is....

For that kind of money, it should be able to play chess. By itself.

Hey dudes.
I own a Razer Naga Epic Chroma.
Last week (after ~one year of ownership) the mouse just wouldn't charge the battery (when ran with the cable attached). It charges only when i put it in the dock.
It does not work with the cable attached to it. So i decided to open it up.
I found that the resistor on the board where the cable connector is (L4 in the picture) blew up.

Now i definitely know Razer uses premium quality parts hence the expensive gear.

STAY AWAY for your own sake !!!!

Did you have to login to open the mouse?

the elite controller has it's own problems (Drift Stick among others). this is just an alternative for a small group of people like me who destroy them in games like Rocket League

PS, i'm pretty sure the elite controller isn't fully mechanical.
