The Razer Wolverine V2 is a game controller released by Razer on November 19, 2020.
A successor to the original Wolverine, the V2 has its overall design overhauled. Unlike the previous Wolverine which shares the grip design with the Raiju, the Wolverine V2 features more ergonomic grip design. The Wolverine V2 also have a D-pad with mechanical microswitches, at the expense of removing the modular d-pad. While many of the features, such as trigger locks, microswitch-based face buttons and remappable shoulder buttons were retained, the remappable back buttons were removed.
An pro version of the Wolverine V2, the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma, was released on September 15, 2021. It added back the 4 remappable buttons on the back that were missing from the Wolverine V2, swappable magnetic stick caps, and Razer's signature Chroma lighting. The Wolverine V2 Chroma has a PlayStation compatible model in the form of the Wolverine V2 Pro.
Both the Wolverine V2 and the Wolverine V2 Chroma are native XInput controllers, meaning that they are natively supported in games that use the Xinput API. Because the impulse trigger is only limited to Microsoft's controllers, the Wolverine V2 and the Wolverine V2 Chroma doesn't support the impulse triggers. Using the remappable shoulder buttons and, in case of the Wolverine V2 Chroma, the remappable back buttons, requires the use of the Razer Controller Setup app on PC and Xbox console (See Controller profile and remapping).
