It’s possible that some people are still unfamiliar with the concept of a “pro” gaming controller, but the introduction of high-profile products onto the market, such as the Xbox Elite Series 2 and the PlayStation DualSense Edge controller, has given the impression that this is a developing market segment. Razer is no stranger to the notion, having published more than a few pro-level controllers in the past, but the Wolverine V2 Pro.
Which is a fully licensed, wireless premium controller for the PS5, might well be the most daring thing the company has done so far. The suggested retail price for it is $475.95, making it the most pricey option. We have recently been putting the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro through its paces in an effort to determine whether or not that is an adequate amount of money to pay for this item.

Razer Wolverine V2 Pro: Design

Even though it is a fully licensed PlayStation controller, the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro has an analog stick layout that is offset. If you play PlayStation all the time, this might be a little different for you. But if you’ve used an Xbox or Nintendo Switch Pro controller before, this shouldn’t be too much of a change.
One of the biggest differences between the Wolverine V2 Pro and its predecessor, the Wolverine V2 Chroma, is that the Wolverine V2 Pro can play both wired and wirelessly. This gives the controller a lot more freedom for casual games and lets you rest without being tied to your console. With the USB-A adapter that comes with the PS5, you can use this 2.4GHz wifi mode on both the PS5 and the computer. You can buy this wireless pro controller from its official website
Razer Wolverine V2 Pro: Compatibility
The PlayStation 5 is the primary target for Razer’s Wolverine V2 Pro. Neither vibration nor adaptive triggers are supported on PS5. It would have been lovely if there had been some sort of vibration or rumble. Especially considering the cost. But we don’t think the world will end because of this. We can see why Razer didn’t include rumble in the Dualsense controller, as it’s the first thing we disable when we want to save battery life.
That’s disappointing, but we can’t hold it against Razer because things are what they are.After then, if you’re familiar with RetroResolve, you can probably guess what happens next. After a great deal of experimentation, I can say that the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro is compatible with the Steam Deck. The touchpad didn’t work at first since the Deck mistook it for an Xbox controller. However, a new update is currently in beta testing that will ensure nearly 100% compatibility.
Comfort and Use

which isn’t too far from the DualSense’s 278g, but it still feels very solid in the hands. This is because the remote has a thicker body and rubber grips that make it feel like it is quite big.
If you have small hands, it can be hard to reach the “Create,” “Options,” and “Back” buttons, which can be uncomfortable. My 11-year-old nephew asked for the controller so he could play a few games of Fortnite.
Razer Wolverine V2 Pro: Battery Life
The power life on Sony’s DualSense is much longer than on a regular controller, which is one way in which it is better. Razer says that a single charge will give you about 10 hours of use with the Chroma lighting on and up to 30 hours with the RGB turned off. From what I’ve tried, I’d say that’s about right. The Wolverine V2 can last for quite a few gaming sessions, and it will even turn off after a while of not being used to save power. The DualSense’s battery life has always been a problem for us, and the new DualSense Edge will be even worse.
Price and availability
We feel like we should say this next part in a whisper: it’s not that expensive for what it has to offer. Before you get mad at me, keep in mind that the Scuf Reflex remote can cost up to $360 and the Dualsense Edge, which has a shorter battery life but costs only $50 less at $199.99, despite having a shorter battery life. You can sort of see why the price tag of $249.99 makes sense.
Final Words
The Razer Wolverine V2 Pro wireless mouse is better in a lot of ways than its predecessor. It adds a 2.4GHz wireless option for PS5 and PC with a battery life of up to 28 hours. It also makes it easy to set up settings and remap the multifunction buttons on the fly using an app. But at $250, it is one of the most expensive “Pro” style PlayStation controllers, making it out of reach for the vast majority of players who want to take their game to the next level.
