23:13 yes you can manually calibrate and reset center of stick. That is the problem everyone is having with this controller and not knowing, then returning it. It’s because Razer doesn’t tell us this. I only found out from a YT video
Nice intro😂 The controller was finally avaliable in my country but today i returned it. Build quality is great except how you change the sticks. Overall i think people with larger hands will struggle. I am not that hard-core of a gamer but my hands hurt after just 2 hours sessions. It was dificult for me to pull back the left stick since my thumb was already half squeezed when i grab the controller. I had to map the bumpers to the M buttons since it was not confortable to move my fingers back. I was constantly clicking the back buttons. Since the controller is shorter on the sides there is no place to rest your fingers. I was very mad that i had to return it since besides comfort, everything else is perfect. I just ordered the elite 2 core since there was a great offer at the moment. Will be waiting to check a possible series 3 if it ever happens. Forgot to mention that one other flaw of the V3 Pro is battery life... could have used a better battery for that price
First: Comfort is King. If it doesn't fit it doesn't fit. Didn't think to mention the size since it is so close to an original Xbox controller but will do that in the future. Second: Battery life. Mine on a full charge was about 10 or so hours. However I am on PC and plugging in a cable is almost second nature. It would be better to plug this in when not in use if it's your daily squeeze. Thanks for watching and thanks for the input.
I returned mine as well. I have a scuf instinct pro before and thought I would try something else but it was the wrong choice. I have bought a new scuf because it's so much more comfortable.
Good review and explanation of the back buttons being better than paddles. I would get the Pro if it was Bluetooth wireless (not dongle only). The tournament edition is a $100 less, but it's the same controller. If you want different sticks use Kontrolfreaks, and both versions require a wired connection to use the 1000hz polling rate, only for PC.
@SeriouslyTechStuff did you activate PC mode/1000hz? If only connected it via wired, it stays at 250hz. It can be turned on in the PC controller App or pressing a combo of buttons(I forgot which ones). I believe it was more responsive in 1000hz mode.
great intro! xD Your description of the back buttons is incredibly detailed! So...even though I have small hands, do you think I could accidentally and continuously press the back buttons, or hold my hands in an unnatural way because of this?
I keep my fingers on the buttons, but they are stiff enough to not accidentally push them. You should be fine, however if you think it would be a problem the Wolverine 2 has buttons that are more in the middle letting you rest your fingers on the sides like a non-back button controller.
I heard - prevent double deadzones - also doubles the input latency - FYI ) And about sticks - did u apply latest firmware update? Looks like drift on 0 (zero) is much less prominent now.
Yes Always update firmware on razer products. Saw no difference however, the new one was off a tad but the one in my impressions video that was missing the dongle was zero'd. on the same firmware. Hmmm Quality control at it's finest.
I use the victrix at the moment and owned the v2. I hated how heavy the dead zones where along with the back buttons and the way the roller felt in hand. I've seen they redesigned the controller new back button style and shape is the v3 worth?
It is. The v2 shipped with the deadzone on the sticks at 40% but after huge negative feedback they added a deadzone feature in software. The v3 back buttons and sticks are an improvement for both.
@SeriouslyTechStuff I use the victrix at the moment as it's the only decent 250 hz controller on xbox apart from razer or if u use a dongle. Would you suggest the v3?
Sorry no. Have tried being right handed? JK. This is usually an option in games that support controllers yes? Or have they gotten away from that like inverting? If so that sucks and shame on devs for not including it.
I returned two of these now because even after the firmware update I had 7's on my x and y and I only play shooters. Also, Fun Fact...this controller can't update itself, you have to update it with a windows laptop. So to get all this straight you have to have a windows laptop to even consider updating the firmware on this controller even though it is designed for "xbox" I loved the feel of this controller and all the buttons, but unfortunately the dead zones were too much. for some clarification, I would have to move my left stick forward about 1/8th inch before I moved in game. That is significant! almost crazy. Razer remedies this by providing a " software update" that is a load of crap! HERE'S WHY, I took note of both my software version and firmware version on the controller. I then downloaded the updater download from the razor site and utilized it. It stated the my controller needed an update. I followed the prompts and successfully downloaded and installed the update only to find that the firmware version and or software was the same and the promblems still remain. So naturally I attempt to update it again, thinking surely something went wrong. Again, the updater tool ran the same update, said it was complete and yet nothing changed including version of software. So basically what happened after further investigation is, razor didn't actually create a firmware update. Razor simply created a downloadable tool to give the illusion of an update, when in fact all of the programming remained the same.
@ so if I manually calibrate the sticks, then I can have my game dead zone’s B0 and my dead zones on the razor at B0 and there’s no stick drift? Because I find that highly unlikely.
@@Fenderlover1992 I have my deadzone on Razer app at 0 and In game I set deadzone settings all the way down as well. And no stick drift. There’s about 1.5-3% drift but it’s not noticeable and doesn’t actually cause drift in game. I’m just seeing a lot of ppl saying what you said and I strongly assume it’s because they did not manually calibrate.
Returned mine.....deadzone issues, MAJOR (5-10) drift out of the box, horrible software, battery life is avg 3.5 hours........maybe I had a dud? But no way its worth $200+........
I returned mine as well for the wired version. $$.Both had no issues with stick drift. Honestly, that would really piss me off. And I have had no issue with the software. Downloaded the Xbox controller app from the MS store and it does exactly what it is supposed to. Much better than their mouse software, yikes.
Mine works fine stick drift can be altered through your Xbox these days if you are a destiny player you go to controller settings put the sticks at 0 then work your way up
You think this is made for claw grip? It may work well with claw grip but there are back buttons. And I can't do claw grip personally, it's against my religion. But thanks for that. Could be a good recommendation if you use the claw.
THE INTRO IS CRAZZZY!!!
by that you earn my sub LMFAO
Thank you so much.

@@AndrewLongworth-z1m Large hands? I have mid hands, maybe something I should consider in future reviews of controllers.
That intro was hilarious. 👍
Thanks
Good review man, you’ll get those free controllers for review in no time!
Ha I'm not holding my breath. Thanks for watching.
Gaming is no longer for children, it's for adults who have a lot of money.
No kidding. Tried Mountain biking? $$$$$$
Hell most of us grew up gaming, we aren't just gonna stop haha
This a pro controller theirs a ton of other options which are nuch cheaper which you can get for kids

Correct. Wired=1000hz, however I felt no difference between wired and wireless in PC mode, but others may be more sensitive.

Me too. Got one?
Love the intro 😂

When my controller is charging, the RGB light only lights up for three seconds. Is it same with you?
Yes unless in use

@@joshbarton4373 Same here. For some reason I get a tad of drift playing Space Marines 2 but nothing else. Weird
Good intro bro 😂
Thanks, my wife had fun doing it.

What did you get instead?
@ Went with the Vader 4 Pro.....

@@SeriouslyTechStuffbiggest reason you returned the Pro? I am seriously considering buying for my Xbox but I am hearing 50/50 reviews.
It's made for a claw grip, you should give it a try, otherwise you won't feel the benefits of the leverage and full control.
You think this is made for claw grip? It may work well with claw grip but there are back buttons. And I can't do claw grip personally, it's against my religion. But thanks for that. Could be a good recommendation if you use the claw.
Subscribed for more intros. Lol
Great intro lmao
I am the thousand view. Y’all know what to do. 😅
I know what to do ... THANK YOU!!!
@@SeriouslyTechStuff hey man I appreciate your response and content brother keep it up !!! Just found you and gonna stay.
Hahahahahaha Dude! One more here!
