I've been gaming for a while as I started out gaming on PC and then also PlayStation before the 2nd one came out. Then later I got a Xbox 360 and my gripe with it was how cheap the controller buttons were. On my PS2 and 3 controllers each button press felt just right. On 360 controllers both the D-pad and RB + LB buttons were just horrid. I ran into a number 360 controllers where the RB or LB just didn't work. My own wired 360 controller that I used with my PC just never felt good to use. For games that leaned on the D-pad I just avoided using the XBOX controllers all together after playing Assassins Creed with it. After that I was really disappointed in how little the Xbox one controllers improved over the 360 controller. So when PS4 controller support grew for the PC I just used it whenever possible.
This controller though really changed most of what I've felt is wrong with the quality of Microsoft's controllers. The D-pad is just like I've always wanted from an Xbox style controller and each button at last clicks just right. My only minor complaint is the RB and LB feels less than intuitive to press due to the ergonomics of the controller. I works very well with both my PC and Xbox one X. Going to say now that this controller will be all I use on any Xbox from now on. Now as for pros and cons:
PROS:
- Separated D-pad is what I love most. It can make a real impact if you are like me and tend to hit off center where on a MS controller it will cause a different direction than what you intended.
- Much better face buttons with a smooth defined click.
- A tighter slightly smaller frame and a bit more comfortable shape in hand.
- Triggers feel good both with and without using the stop. It's a notable improvement over the standard controller.
- A quality long cable for living room use.
- 4 programable buttons for use on PC
CONS:
- The RB + LB buttons could be improved some. It's still way better than Microsoft controllers however.
- No wireless. Doesn't really matter to me, but it's worth noting considering the cost here.
- The RGB light is kind of bright for me.
I got this during Prime day, but now having used it I would say it's worth the MSRP. I rate this a 9.5/10 because other than my nit picking it's near perfection for a wired controller.

A quality product, well done, Razer
I am not by any means a professional gamer, but here are my thoughts-Wired-Working XBox button-Responsive-Multi-function buttons (can be turned off)-Customizable-Durable-Break away nylon cable (9'10" long)-Rubber cable wrap-Rubber gripsI have been experiencing some lag with my stock controller, so I specifically set out to find a WIRED controller that is very RESPONSIVE. I am not disappointed. The buttons are crisp and quick with an audible *click* with each button press. I like that.The fact that the XBox button works is great. It doesn't even need to be held down to turn on the XBox, just a quick click and the console responds. Neat!Right out of the box this controller is pretty cool. It feels a lot like a stock controller, but the MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS are definitely different. I have never had a controller with these buttons, so it will take some getting used to, but I can tell I'm really going to like this feature. If ever I do change my mind, I can assign them to do nothing when pressed, completely eliminating them without the need to remove them (before you ask, they are not removable). The light in the center is CUSTOMIZABLE as well with different color options as well as different patterns and brightness. It can even be turned off altogether if one chose to do so.The controller looks and feels DURABLE in my hands. I'm not worried about dropping it on the floor. I am clumsy by nature and have 2 curious and sometimes rambunctious cats.The nylon branded CABLE is clearly durable as well. I have had products in the past with similar material so I am confident this cable will last a very long time. This cable also has a very nice BREAK AWAY feature which is really great for storage and for having 2 cats that can be unruly with their brotherly wrestling matches. With this feature I don't fear them ripping the cables from the XBox console, nor am I worried that they could pull they XBox from the T.V. stand altogether. And if ever my fiancé or I tripped over it, I think the cable and controller would survive quite nicely. However, I don't think it will be easily uncoupled by accident as when plugging the wire into the console, the controller, and attaching the cable in the middle (see photos) it feels solid and tight. And the rubber CABLE WRAP is adjustable, which provides storage options; I can choose to wind the cable tight and small, thin and lengthy, or anything in between; this cable wrap will do well in any scenario.The RUBBER GRIPS on the joysticks as well as the backs of the hand grips feel very nice. With my stock controller, I did have issues with long-term gaming and felt my controller slip out of my grip. I often had to readjust the controller in my hands. This controller is definitely better for that, my fingers grip it nicely.After downloading the Razer Wolverine for XBox app I discovered that it is even more CUSTOMIZABLE than I realized. The MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS can be remapped to basically anything and even the range of the joysticks and triggers can be changed as well as vibration intensity. Very nice features for anyone wanting tailored responsiveness.All in all this is a great controller and I am very excited to get to know all of its features and functionality in the enjoyment to come. Well done, Razer, as always you have delivered a quality product.
