A promo for the new controller:
Razer on some of the Wolverine V3 Pro’s key features:
Four strategically placed mouse-click back paddles seamlessly integrated within the ergonomic, rubberized grips – deliver lightning-fast actuation on par with Razer’s leading gaming mice.
The paddles are complemented by two tactically located claw grip bumpers which provide flexibility while enhancing control to cater to players using claw grip. These features offer gamers the ability to execute complex commands with ease, providing a strategic advantage in any competitive scenario.
Seize every opportunity with the revolutionary Razer Pro HyperTriggers. These innovative triggers offer two distinct modes that gamers can set their controller to: instant mouse click actuation with zero travel time for unmatched speed, or ultra-precise analog control, allowing for full-range trigger motion. Integrated haptic feedback delivers realistic feedback, allowing gamers to feel the intensity of every shot.
Never miss a critical rotation with the all-new Hall Effect precision thumbsticks. These advanced analog sticks boast superior accuracy, and smoother movement compared to traditional models. Anti-friction rings and pro-grade materials ensure long-lasting durability, while customizable sensitivity and deadzone settings through the Razer Controller App allow for more precise, personalized control, making them ideal for any intense gaming sessions.

Oh for f*ck's sake, we got "eSport controllers" now?! And how the f*ck is something that is wireless supposed to be "eSports" ready? I do see they plan on making a wired one. Also where would one actually use an "eSports controller"? If playing a first-person shooter competitively, then the "cyber-athlete" is gonna be using a mouse and keyboard. If it's a fighting game, then they would probably be using an arcade stick controller. So not sure who the f*ck this product is for.

Every Apex pro uses a controller. Nearly every COD pro uses a controller.
Basically, if the game can use a controller and has aim assist a pro will be using a controller for it. And wireless has gotten so good that there's basically zero benefit to using a wired.
Aim assist is a joke. Seriously needs to be nerfed.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Shows how much I know about eSports. This makes no sense to me whatsoever, but then again, neither does eSports and CPL-type stuff to begin with.

That seems like cheating and a lack of skill. The whole reason controllers have aim assist to begin with is cuz of how sh1tty analog sticks are for aiming. Why in the f*ck are they being allowed for "professional" competition? Cuz then every kill you get is not due to your skill, but the aim assist helping you.

I needs to just be banned outright. It's fine if people wanna be insane and use a controller for a first-person shooter, but EVERYONE should be banned from using aim assist. That sh1t should be outright disabled.

Not sure I believe that, and that's coming from someone who has actually tried Logitech's Lightspeed technology. That's the most impressive wireless tech for input peripherals that I have experienced, but even then I wouldn't take it over wired.

If everyone has the same advantage it should still be the better player who wins (one of the reasons I don't like motorsports, the machine matters more then the driver so they don't compete on equal terms)

That's why I watch MX and SMX. Best rider wins.
