Razer is back with a massive update to their popular Wolverine Xbox controller! The same line of devices that helped jump start the channel you're watching now back when I swapped content formats in 2020-2021. This round brings some drastic hardware changes, with anti stick drift hall effect sticks and some mildly updated internals, like M1 & M2. The 4 rear buttons you all hate have been replaced and for the first time, Razer is selling a wireless Xbox pro controller! Fun stuff, at not fun prices. I hope you guys enjoyed this one! I put a lot of love into testing, researching and reviewing what Razer sent out, so I'd like to thank them to. Why they chose ME of all creators for this shit is beyond me. Love you all, I hope to see you in the next one!
