Razer has announced a new Xbox One controller which will come with customisable RGB lighting, adjustable triggers and a choice of interchangeable analogue sticks and D-pads. It’s become obvious to Razer that we don’t pay enough for our controllers, so Razer is putting the world to rights with its new Razer Wolverine Ultimate which is going to be sold for a whopping £160. Yes, what a stupid name.
Buying a controller for a console is generally quite an expensive affair. An Xbox One controller is £49.99 (the same price as a DualShock 3, weirdly) and an Xbox One Elite controller will set you back £119.99. Which is just silly. But nothing comes close to the astronomical price bar Razer has set with this controller. But at least you can use it with your PC too.
For paying such a high-entry price you’ll get customisable RGB lighting, swappable thumbsticks and D-pad, a rubber grip and a carry case. This is all backed up by a 12-month warranty. Thanks, chaps. Taking into account the RGB lighting, Razer is intent on gamers being as bright as buttons.
The Razer founder and CEO, Min-Liang Tan, is clearly oblivious to competitive pricing, saying that, ‘thanks to endless design iterations and pro-gamer feedback, we’re proud to be finally releasing a new contender for the crown’.
I’d rather just get the Minecraft piggy controller and be done with it.
The Razer Wolverine Ultimate will be released in late 2017.
