There are controllers on the market that can achieve a polling rate of 1000Hz, mainly made in China, but at the end of September 2024, Razer will also release a controller that can increase the polling rate to 1000Hz by switching the mode. It is more expensive than Chinese controllers, but it is recommended for those who feel more comfortable using products from well-known manufacturers.
The cheaper wired model "RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION"
If you're looking for a cheaper price, we recommend the wired model "RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION."
It's a wired model, so it can only be connected by wire, but it's cheap and can be connected to Xbox Series S|X and Windows PCs. Please note that it cannot be used with PlayStation or Switch. The official price from Razer is 17,480 yen.
Maximum polling rate 1000Hz when connected to a PC
The polling rate of the RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION is 250Hz when connected to an Xbox, but can reach up to 1000Hz when connected to a PC. A higher polling rate reduces input lag and allows for more intuitive operation.
To achieve 1000Hz, you need to switch from standard mode to tournament mode. You can do this by entering a shortcut to switch modes on the controller itself or in the Razer Controller app.
Please note that only PCs equipped with Windows 11 can be connected, so it cannot be used if you are using Windows 10 or MacOS.
Equipped with four rear paddles and two bumpers
The buttons added to the back are not button type, but paddle type. There are four paddles on the back of the grip part, so I think they are relatively easy to press. There are also two bumpers next to the trigger buttons, so there are a total of six additional buttons.
The buttons on the grip can be pressed without moving your fingers, and the bumper buttons can be pressed by extending your fingers a little from the trigger button, so I think they are easy to use.
Button layout can be customized by linking it with an app called Razer Controller.
Fast input buttons and adjustable stroke trigger buttons
The four buttons on the ABYX use Razer's Mecha-Tactile Action Buttons, which have the advantage of a shallower actuation point than other controllers, allowing for faster input.
The trigger button is equipped with a trigger stop function that allows you to change the stroke distance. There are two stroke lengths: a longer stroke for racing games, and a shorter stroke for FPS games. The stroke length can be adjusted with the switch on the back of the unit.
Although it is expensive, there is also the wireless "Razer Wolverine V3 Pro"
The "RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION" can only be used with a wired connection, but there is also the "Razer Wolverine V3 Pro" which can be used wirelessly.
The "Razer Wolverine V3 Pro" can be used both wired and wirelessly. However, the price of the "RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION" is 17,480 yen, while the price of the "Razer Wolverine V3 Pro" is 35,480 yen, which is significantly higher. Considering the cost, I think it is safe to choose the "RAZER WOLVERINE V3 TOURNAMENT EDITION".
The difference between the two, other than the price, is whether or not a carrying case is included to store the main unit. If you purchase the "Razer Wolverine V3 Pro", a carrying case is included, so I think it is suitable for cases where you may need to carry it outside.
summary
The "Razer Wolverine V3" series controllers have the great advantage of being able to set the polling rate to 1000Hz. There are many other controllers that have the same functions as the back buttons and trigger stops, so if you don't care about the polling rate, it may be better to buy another controller. It is recommended for those who want to try a controller with low latency.
