Owners of the PlayStation 5 have another expensive, customizable wireless controller to take into account. With PS5 and PC support, Razer's Wolverine V2 Pro goes on sale today for $249.99, which is $50 more expensive than Sony's DualSense Edge, which will be available in early 2023. Compared to the Edge, the Wolverine V2 Pro has fewer extras and does not have active or rumble triggers. But there are some advantages that some individuals could like. 

The Wolverine V2 Pro, the latest innovative controller from Razer, was just unveiled. It was created expressly for the PlayStation 5 and its distinctive DualSense feature is set in mind, and its key selling point is that users can easily change out its control modules any way they like. Although modular controllers as a concept are not new, they are scarcely commonplace, and their high cost is frequently one of the primary factors in their poor acceptance rates. The Wolverine V2 Pro might not be an exception, costing $249.99. 

With the Wolverine V2 Pro controller, which combines the robust capabilities of a standard PS5 DualSense controller with noticeably greater versatility and customization options, Razer intends to fight this. One of the more interesting things about this controller is that it was created as part of the official PlayStation licensing scheme, which means Sony gave its design it's a blessing at some point in the creation process. 

The Wolverine V2 Pro features significantly more than Razer's new Xbox controller. Wolverine is said to offer a reduced actuation distance on all inputs in addition to utilizing Razer's Hyperspeed Wireless 2.4GHz networking for minimal latency. Additionally, the product page promises significantly increased long-term endurance of the switches. But the most intriguing aspects of the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro are its programmable control modules. For instance, each trigger can be adjusted for a particular pull distance, and sticks can be changed as needed based on the user's preferences. 

However, you'll either adore or detest the "mecha-tactile" switches hidden beneath its buttons. They promise speedier input recognition and have a tendency to feel more like mouse clicks than standard controller buttons, but I prefer the sensation of membrane buttons' larger travel distance. 

But making the V2 Pro from the V2 Chroma by adding wireless, a new color scheme, and some PlayStation-specific buttons doesn't seem like enough for the extra $100, especially given that its pricing is far more than the DualSense Edge's preorder price. I would have liked it to additionally include removable D-pads, a sturdy zip-up case, more robust Bluetooth capabilities, and, of course, the excellent haptic actuators from DualSense.
