There are tons of wired controllers on the market designed to help you play videogames with accurate inputs and comfy ergonomics, but few hold a candle to the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma. This controller is the best there is at what it does thanks to sublime controls, comfortable handling and advanced technical features that will enrich your gaming experience.

The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma doesn't come cheap however as it fetches a high MSRP of $149.99. However, Cyber Monday has chopped it down a peg with a 39% discount so it's now at a more affordable price of $149.99 $90.90 on Amazon.

"The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is an excellent controller, with arguably superior sticks and buttons than the official Xbox controller itself. The extra features sweeten the deal, with a sensitivity clutch aspect that feels almost too good to be true." — Jez Corden, Executive Editor of Windows Central

Why purchase the Razer Wolverine 2 Chroma over the new Razer Wolverine V3?

Razer Wolverine V2 Review 2021

Ever since I got my hands on the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma back in 2022, I started forsaking standard Xbox controllers because Razer's controller felt vastly superior. This controller quickly became my defacto controller for tackling the best Xbox games because of its superb controls and advanced features, and I haven't felt the need to replace it since.

The face buttons and triggers feel nice to use thanks to their tactile and clicky feel, and they are responsive to player inputs with little to no latency so you can enjoy games without the risk of unintentional input errors. These controls are complimented with extremely responsive magnetic analog sticks which can be switched out for different sticks that better suit your thumb's comfort levels.

The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma also features additional shoulder buttons and back peddles, rubberized grips for smoother handling, pretty RGB lights, and a free Razer Controller App so you can remap the controller's button functions to better suit your playstyle from game to game.

To sweeten the deal, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma comes with hair-trigger locks and a Sensitivity Clutch so you can reduce the time it takes to pull the trigger and more accurate shots in first-person shooters like Stalker 2 or Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

While this controller has been superseded in terms of technical prowess by the Razer Wolverine 3 Pro and the Razer Wolverine 3 Tournament Edition, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is still one of the best Xbox controllers I've ever used and one I highly recommend to any Xbox gamer, competitive or casual.

The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is currently on sale for $90.90 at Amazon after having its costly MSRP of $149.99 cut by 39% due to Cyber Monday. This means that this excellent controller is currently $10 cheaper than the Razer Wolverine 3 Tournament Edition's MSRP of $99.99 and $100 cheaper than the Razer Wolverine 3 Pro's MSRP of $199.99.

This deal will likely go away after Cyber Monday is over so don't hesitate to capitalize on it while you still can.

When did Black Friday end?

On paper, at least, Black Friday ended the moment Midnight chimed on Nov. 29, 2024, or the Friday following the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. However, that doesn't necessarily mean all the deals up and disappeared at that time. Cyber Monday is right around the corner, and that means fresh waves of sales to take advantage of. I should be clear, many deals did end alongside Black Friday, so those who hesitated are out of luck. If you missed out, though, you may have another opportunity this weekend and on Cyber Monday.

When does Cyber Monday start?

Cyber Monday began as the online retailer equivalent of Black Friday, but most shopping has gone online over the last few years. This has resulted in Black Friday and Cyber Monday being blended into one massive sales event spread across an entire weekend, with Cyber Monday marking the tumultuous finale. This year, Cyber Monday falls on Dec. 2, 2024, which (as you might expect) is the Monday after Black Friday.

It's best to take advantage of sales you're interested in the moment you spot them to avoid stock shortages and limited-time discounts, but Cyber Monday does frequently boast its own batch of last-minute deals separate from Black Friday.

Which has better deals, Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Because of how similar the two days (and the weekend between them have become), it's difficult to definitively say if Black Friday or Cyber Monday has the best deals. Many retailers and companies hit Black Friday running with their biggest promotions to get people in the door, but others may wait until Cyber Monday and strike with last-minute discounts that keep interest going until the end.

The rule of thumb to keep in mind here is that if you spot a tempting discount for a product you want, you shouldn't risk waiting for a better deal to come along. Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy will often price match your purchases if prices fall further during your return period, so it's better to take advantage of the deal in front of you than wait for the better deal that may never come (especially since Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals tend to have limited stock).

When does Cyber Monday end?

While Black Friday and Cyber Monday tend to start earlier each year, the worldwide sales event often ends on a similar note. Cyber Monday, which this year is Dec. 2, 2024, is the final day for many of the most major and aggressive sales and discounts from the deals bonanza. While some promotions may continue after Cyber Monday ends at Midnight on Dec. 2, you really shouldn't wait to take advantage of any deals that have caught your attention.
