The Amazon Gaming Week is currently running with some discounts. Included is the Razer Wolverine V2, a controller for Xbox and PC. For MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann, it’s one of the best controllers you can buy right now.
Most people who play on PC probably have accumulated a broad inventory of equipment to be prepared for any obstacle. For this reason, I have also gotten a controller for my PC by now. I prefer playing with a mouse and keyboard, but some games, like the action game Godfall, simply play better with a controller.
I have been using the Razer Wolverine V2 on my home computer for several years now. For me, the Razer controller is the best choice on PC when you can do without wireless and don’t want to pay 150 euros for the Elite Series 2. You can read my review of the Razer Wolverine V2 here on MeinMMO

Better haptics than the “normal” Xbox controller
What do I like about the controller? At home, I use both the official Xbox controller and the Wolverine V2. The layout is absolutely identical; both are asymmetrical. The biggest plus point, in my opinion, goes to the Wolverine V2 for its significantly better haptics compared to the official product. The grips are rubberized, while the Microsoft controller is very smooth.
The haptics of the buttons, that “clicky” feeling, is another plus point. It makes me feel much more precise than with other controllers. The mechanical tactile buttons and the D-pad feel great.
The build quality is also good: over the last 3 years, the controller has not let me down and is used multiple times every week, either by me or by my partner, during gaming.
What problems are there? There are disadvantages as well: The cable is not detachable; however, I haven’t had a cable break in the last 3 years. Nevertheless, it would be easier to store if the cable could be removed.
Some special buttons are a bit tricky on the back. There are also no real paddles, but I don’t miss them either.
In the large competitor, Microsoft’s Elite Series 2, the Wolverine V2 still cannot compete overall. This controller simply offers more options and opportunities for personalization.
For me, the Wolverine V2 remains a great controller for around 70 euros, whose buttons and haptics I wouldn’t want to be without in everyday life.
By the way, my colleague Maik Schneider bought a controller for 280 euros and doesn’t regret it for a second. Why he is so enthusiastic about it, he tells you in his article on MeinMMO:
I paid 280 euros for a PS5 controller and damn, I would do it again
