Razer's first wireless Xbox controller is the closest thing we have to perfection right now

[Windows Central]

The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro is the company's first wireless controller for Xbox, and it is absolutely glorious. There are also bits of top PC gaming tech in here, just for added brilliance.

Ooh, I might grab that. I won't use a wired controller, so very glad MS is finally licensing for wireless controllers (or that Razer figured out a way to do it with a dongle, either way). My Elite 2 is falling apart. I've already replaced parts of it. My Elite 1 came apart too. Fixed that with a new grip.

But, it looks like the Wolverine V3 does not support the MS accessory connector. I always attach a keyboard/ChatPad to my controller (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0136JPA56?tag=scribliotech-20). Still, if I had to give up the built-in keyboard for a better and more reliable controller, that's probably a worthwhile exchange.

But does anyone know, is it possible to attach something equivalent to the Razer controller?

Also, what about recharging -- is there a charger I can just set the controller on to charge, or do I need to connect it to the USB-C wire (I prefer no wires anywhere)?

Razer must think they're the Apple of controllers. Chinese brands have hall effect on everything and mouse switches in their controllers since at least 2023 and they cost less than 50 dollars. For this price Razer could at least put TMR sticks there, that are better than Hall Effect.

I think you addressed your own comment: "CHINESE controllers." I know many will grab the Chinese product because they are less expensive for similar features (and sometimes we have no viable alternatives), but their quality is never as good as mainstream brands, so the low cost is not really less expensive, factoring in the shorter lifespan. Worse, purchasing Chinese products is just propagating the Chinese oppressive economic model and delaying what will hopefully be the ultimate collapse of the Chinese Communist Party and liberation of the Chinese people. Until then, know that purchases of PRC products (as opposed to Taiwan, which is a fine country to support) support the Communist authoritarian government as it keeps wages of its people low through currency manipulation. That's why the prices remain so low for what you get.

When you buy electronics from China, there is also a risk that it includes unknown malware. I'm not stating that this controller will allow the Chinese government to take over your network at a point of their choosing, but it's absolutely their goal to have flooded the markets of other countries with software that would allow them to do that. It's not hard to include tiny bits of code that could lead to this -- very hard for U.S. or E.U. or Japan to catch every bit of hidden code. Hell, we still find small bugs in Cisco routers from decades ago that create security risks, and those A) have a lot more eyes studying them for those kinds of problems and B) didn't have Cisco trying to hide those security problems from view like the Chinese government does.

False.... Razer has other wireless controllers out there, but this is the first I've seen with Hall effect sticks in it. I own a Wireless Razer controller that I've been using for well over a year now, it came with a dock and is clear green with a gradient to black.
Here's a link to the controller I am talking about.
