Why I love the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma and would recommend it to everyone

When it comes to alternative Xbox controllers, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is the cream of the gaming crop. (Image credit: Jez Corden | Windows Central)

Out of all the controllers I've used over the course of my life playing video games ever since I was a child, I consider Razer's Wolverine V2 Chroma to be one of the best Xbox controllers out there. I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorite controllers of all time, alongside the likes of the PlayStation 2 Dual-Shock controller and the Nintendo Gamecube controller.

What makes this controller stand out amongst the crowd is its multitude of unique mechanical features that make playing games feel more intuitive and responsive while being comfy to use.

For instance, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma's controls from its face buttons and triggers to its additional back peddles all feel good to press and are super responsive to operate with little to no input delay during gameplay. On top of that, you can remap the functions of every button and trigger of the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma by using the Razer Controller App (which is free to download for Xbox consoles and Windows 10/11) and set up personal control scheme profiles for almost any game you play to suit your comfort levels and playstyle.

You can even swap out the controller's default joysticks for different ones that suit your thumbs better thanks to their easily removable magnetic caps.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma's capabilities to improve your gameplay performance. This controller also features a 'Hair Trigger' Mode where you can lock the trigger buttons so you can reduce the travel time between pressing them, which allows you to make faster and more precise shots when playing fast-competitive first-person shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 or Overwatch 2.

In addition, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma has a unique feature that will improve your first-person shooter skills even further, called the Sensitivity Clutch. This feature lets you reduce the speed at which the controller's joysticks perform actions during gameplay, so you can move your in-game avatar and the camera more precisely and aim your guns more accurately. Combine this with 'Hair-Trigger' Mode, there will be no one stopping you from topping the leaderboards in online competitive matches when using the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma.

As an added bonus, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma has rubberized-texture grips which makes it feel comfortable to use for several hours of gaming, and RBG lightning to add immersion to your gameplay sessions while playing in the dark.

This controller usually has a steep MSRP of $149.99 at most online retailers. However, there is currently a big early Black Friday sale going on for the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma that has severely cut its price tag down to $59.99 over at Amazon.

So if you want to play the best Xbox titles and best PC titles with the fastest and most accurate controls on the market, then don't be afraid to pull the trigger and get on this deal. This is the cheapest price cut the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma has ever got, and there's no telling how long this deal will last.

What makes the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma unique?

It has a wide variety of buttons, triggers, back peddles, and removable magnetic joysticks that are all very responsive to use and customizable thanks to the Razer Controller App. The 'Hair-Trigger' Mode locks and Sensitivity Clutch can help players make more precise and faster shots while playing fast-paced competitive FPS games.

When is Black Friday?

Black Friday officially starts on Nov. 29, 2024. However, retailers are not waiting for Black Friday to come, as they have already started offering discount deals to entire consumers to buy their products. So it is worth keeping an eye out for early Black Friday discounts for items on your wishlist ahead of time because they may be sold out by the time the event begins in earnest.

When is Cyber Monday?

After Black Friday concludes, Cyber Monday will commence shortly afterward on December 2, 2024. This online-only continuation of Black Friday will host deals you may have missed out on during the aforementioned event, or exclusive deals that not even Black Friday offered. It's also worth noting that some Cyber Monday deals may persist for days after the event concludes, so it is worth keeping an eye just in case.
