Razer introduces the Wolverine V4 line of Xbox controllers for competitive players

Designed to deliver maximum competitive performance on Xbox and PC, the line offers precision, drift resistance with new capacitive sensors in the sticks, ultra-responsive 8,000 Hz HyperPolling and extensive hardware and software customization options

Razer, the world’s leading lifestyle brand for gamers, has just announced the new Razer Wolverine V4 line, which includes the wireless Razer Wolverine V4 Pro controller and the Razer Wolverine V4 Tournament Edition, which is wired. The new generation of esports controllers was officially developed for Xbox and PC.

Packed with new features, the Wolverine V4 Pro has high-resolution capacitive sensors in the sticks, the next evolution of contactless sensor technology, plus four new magnetic, removable rear buttons, a removable magnetic faceplate and a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz. Together they give competitive players the edge they need in FPS games, racing sims and more.

“This controller comes very close to perfection — it takes everything I loved about the Wolverine V3 to another level,” says LastShot, 2025 Halo world champion with Shopify Rebellion. “The new rear buttons make it much easier to create my ideal setup, while the buttons remain as fast and responsive as ever. The improved polling rate is also exactly what I need to stay ahead of the competition.”

The peak of precision

Two new capacitive sensors power the asymmetric stick layout of the Wolverine V4 line. They represent the next step in contactless sensor technology and offer higher resolution, power efficiency and resistance to magnetic interference compared with TMR and Hall Effect sensors, while keeping the drift resistance of both technologies. Combined with a 16-bit ADC chip, the sensors register approximately 3,000 levels of movement, delivering smoother tracking, less jitter and greater overall precision for competitive FPS games.

For players who use different platforms, the Wolverine V4 line offers fast, reliable connectivity on Xbox Series X|S consoles, with a polling rate of up to 250 Hz. On PC, performance reaches 8,000 Hz, wired or wireless, registering position up to 32 times faster than conventional controllers and up to 8 times faster than entry-level esports controllers. The result is more precise aim and more consistent movement.

A higher polling rate also means lower latency. The Wolverine V4 line features the fastest response times Razer has ever offered, with a response time under 1 ms, ensuring that every trigger pull, button press and stick movement is registered as intended.

Total control

A new magnetic system lets the Razer Wolverine V4 Pro swap its four removable rear buttons and two bumpers designed for claw grip use in a matter of seconds. That way, players can reload, use equipment, slide and perform other actions without taking their thumbs off the sticks. Players can freely combine one, two, three or four rear keys to create virtually endless configurations and build the ideal setup for each game.

The Razer Pro HyperTriggers offer two distinct trigger feels in a single controller. Using the switch on the back, players can toggle between a nearly instant actuation, ideal for fast FPS shots, and a full analog travel, suited to precise control in racing sims. Through Razer Synapse, players can set the exact trigger actuation point anywhere between 1.3 mm and 8.2 mm, adapting the response to their playstyle.

The reinforced PBT face buttons with a mecha-tactile mechanism offer fast, precise response, while the floating 8-way D-pad provides smooth movement and quick actuation, both for precise directional inputs and fast diagonal movements. The set was developed to withstand long competitive gaming sessions.

The textured TPU side grips ensure a firm, comfortable hold even during the longest sessions, keeping the controller steady in the moments of greatest pressure and during competitive match marathons.

Players who switch between different titles can create four exclusive profiles and easily switch between custom input and sensitivity settings. That way, they can quickly adapt their setup, whether for competitive FPS games, action-adventure games or racing sims.

Within these profiles, players can create custom commands for any of the six remappable multifunction buttons, adjust deadzones between 0% and 15% and precisely configure the trigger actuation to set the ideal travel.

For those who also want to match the controller’s style to their own, the Wolverine V4 Pro has a magnetic faceplate that can be customized, swapped for other designs or removed entirely, with no tools needed.

The controller also offers six stick cap options: pre-installed short concave caps for a balanced experience; short convex caps with a soft texture for fast, continuous movements; or tall concave caps with a micro-texture for more precise, detailed aim.

One controller. Every advantage.
