Console controls have advanced a barbarity in recent years, but those who come with consoles remain the ‘basic’ models.
If you want something more designed to play like a professional, you have to buy one with levers, more buttons, customization options …
This is where the Wolverine V2 Chroma enters, a new version of the Xbox command that launched the Gaming Razer Accessories company makes relatively little and that already was quite comfortable and good.
The main differences posed by the Wolverine V2 Chroma are located, on the one hand, in RGB lighting, which is brand of the house;
And in the extra personalization options, because you can change the height of the analog sticks, the depth of the triggers and includes six new buttons to perform certain combinations that in a normal control are not possible.
For example, you can configure one of the rear levers on the control to work as the front jump button.
In this way, you can jump using the annular finger or heart and you do not have to remove the thumb from the camera’s movement lever to press the front button.
This can sound like a posk, but in shooting video games it is something fundamental that can give a tactical advantage to players who play their leisure or their work on superior leagues, where competitiveness is measured in the tenths of seconds that it takes to respond to
Enemy push.
Wolverine V2 Chroma has four rear levers and two extra shoulders buttons that are customized with Razer software for Windows 10 and allow great customization for this type of user.
And since all buttons have a very short route and the answer is snapshot, even not using the extra, you can get a better response in the games.
The possibility of shortening the route of the rear triggers is especially important.
When moving some lashes just under the triggers, the distance can be shortened by half when it is triggered, so the reaction time is also reduced in an FPS.
Beyond the ‘Pro’ features of Wolverine V2 Chroma, I value a pretty different design from the official Xbox Command.
If you have smaller hands or the other command is somewhat uncomfortable, your most banana form may benefit you.
In my case, what is least useful to me is the option of changing the height of the levers or the shape of them.
If you miss the ‘convex mushrooms’ of the PlayStation controls of yesteryear, it is possible to put them on this model.
I have done to the concave mushrooms and at a concrete height, so I have not used the highest optionals that the knob is included next to the hard case and USB-C cable that includes.
The only downside and the only reason why this command is not better than an Xbox official elite command is that it is not wireless: it is connected to the computer or the Xbox console (both Xbox One and Xbox Series) on the included cable.
It is a detail that I understand that I can frustrate some console players, but if you play on PC, it seems to me a minor problem.
As for the quality of the materials, I can not but praise what Razer has achieved with this model.
It is strong and compact, it does not crunch when you are in tension and tighten it a little more and the roughities make it difficult to slip even if you sweat.
Beyond the price of 160 euros, I understand that it is another reason why many people discard this type of devices;
No reasons occur to me to not recommend Wolverine V2 Chroma to those who seek a PC or Xbox control with higher characteristics and that is very durable.
