Razer Wildcat Gaming Controller Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2016-03-23

Razer Wildcat is a very solid product with added features like programmable buttons, extra removable triggers, well-built analog sticks, a control panel and multiple profiles to work with while in-game. The manufacturer does also ship some themed sticky rubber grips which can be attached to the controller quite easily but also a pair of rubber covers for the analog sticks. It is now priced considerably less than the Elite version of the original Xbox One controller, an aspect which makes the product even more interesting.

Two Razer logo stickers can be found here for us to apply on the gaming laptop, console or desktop PC:

 

 

 

Versus the regular Xbox One controller, we can spot quite a bit of changes regarding interfaces, while the ergonomic shape has stayed the same; a subtle black-on-black razer logo can be seen on the right side:

 

 

 

The control panel which we have mentioned before will help us with a remapping button, one profile toggle button, one microphone mute button but also a volume control button:

 

 

 

An audio jack resides under the said control panel:

 

 

 

Unlike the regular Xbox One controller and as we have seen with the Onza, the D-pad is split (Razer Hyperesponse):

 

 

 

The available analog sticks do feature a rough plastic texture on top; for additional grip we can always attach the provided green rubber covers; these also feature reinforced high carbon steel analog stick necks for increased durability:

 

 

 

 

Next we can take a closer look at the X/Y/A/B buttons which are quite sensitive and do not produce a lot of noise when actuated, only a subtle “click” as when pressing the mouse left/right buttons; these also feature a cooler design versus the original:
