If you’ve been eyeing a premium Xbox or PC controller that could actually give the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller a run for its money, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is currently $149.99 on Woot. This is its lowest price yet, according to price trackers . Normally, it sells for $199.99, which is still the going rate on Amazon . This deal is live for eight days or until it sells out, and Prime members get free shipping (others pay a six-dollar shipping fee).
The Wolverine V3 Pro lacks Bluetooth support, but if you’re only gaming on Xbox and PC, that may not matter. Razer’s 2.4GHz Hyperspeed wireless connection offers a 250Hz polling rate (quadruple that of Bluetooth), and you can reportedly push it to 1000Hz in wired Tournament Mode on PC.

There’s a nice click to the face buttons of the V3 Pro and a surprisingly tight feel to the circular D-pad (though it isn’t swappable to a plus-shaped one like the Elite’s). The analog triggers use Hall Effect sensors to avoid drift and come with trigger locks for faster activation in shooters. You get two extra buttons near the triggers and four on the back, all programmable via Razer’s app, which also lets you tweak the lighting and fine-tune dead zones. That said, you can’t remap core buttons or set full trigger curves, so there’s some trade-off in flexibility. But in actual gameplay, this thing just feels dialed in. Movements are responsive, the sticks hold tight accuracy, and the familiar wide-body design hits that muscle memory if you’re coming from a standard Xbox layout.
The programmable rear buttons are sculpted to sit well under your fingers, and although they can’t be swapped out, they don’t feel intrusive. You also get a textured grip, USB-C charging, and a travel case, though battery life tops out at 20 hours (shorter than the Elite’s 40), notes this PCMag review . At this price, the Wolverine V3 Pro is a serious alternative to the Elite—one that makes a few smart sacrifices in exchange for better ergonomics, long-term stick durability, and faster wireless response.
