The new Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K targets esports as a wireless PC controller with TMR thumbsticks
A PC controller lacking console compatibility is relatively rare, with the Scuf Envision Pro an exception. Even so, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K caters to competitive desktop gamers. While similar to the Wolverine V3 Pro, the latest Razer controller ships with a low-latency 8000 Hz wireless dongle. It also replaces Hall effect sensors with even more precise TMR thumbsticks.
The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC is now available at Razer.com and retailers like Amazon for $199.99. For gamers who avoid recharging, the wired Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K PC is also in stock for $119.99.
Buyers will find that the updated Wolverine V3 Pro features a familiar design. The mecha-tactile face buttons promise a rapid-response time with the same satisfying feedback. On the rear, the manufacturer once again includes four mouse-click mouse buttons and a pair of Claw Grip bumpers. The Razer Pro HyperTriggers also return, toggling between instant inputs and analog control.
Unfortunately, gamers with larger hands may still consider the short controller grips inadequate. That said, the wireless PC controller is less likely to induce fatigue, weighing in at a much lighter 220 grams. The added portability is possible because Razer removed the vibration module. Without some frills, the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC is strictly performance-focused.
TMR has quickly become the sensor technology of choice
Response time and reliability are also priorities for any esports pro. Just as Hall effect sensors became mainstream, TMR technology is gradually taking over GameSir and other brands. Like with Hall effect thumbsticks, physical components won’t wear down. However, the controller can now detect even finer movements. Aided by more efficient TMR sensors, the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC is expected to last up to 36 hours on a single charge.
The move toward PC exclusivity does introduce some benefits. Similar to the Envision Pro, which is customizable in Corsair’s iCue software, PC gamers configure the new Razer controller in Synapse. Owners can remap many of the peripheral’s buttons to Windows-specific commands.
Early Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC reviews suggest it fulfills its promise of enhanced speed and precision. The $199.99 wireless controller may seem pricey considering its limited compatibility. Still, the wired Tournament Edition exists as a more affordable alternative.
