There have been complaints on reddit about chroma-version turning into a brick after an update. Perhaps this is the main reason for the delayed update.
I’m just confused on why Razer is refraining from fixing this issue for us v2 users??? You fixed it for the chroma users with no problem. My buddy Kobe even showed a video demonstrating the problem with this controller but it seems like Razer still won’t fix it.
Here’s me DEMONSTRATING the actual problem with the v2 controller. I know I’m crying too much but I can’t play any FPS games if the deadzone is so high

Are you trolling bro I don’t see it
The Razer Controller app updated for me when I turned my box on (if you have autoupdate off, you may need to go my games and apps > manage > updates); then when I went in the app, I had to press Y for info and it alerts of a firmware update. Updated the firmware and now I have an option in my profile edit for Deadzone. I'm using a Series X and Wolverine v2 Chroma

Thanks for providing update instructions! (I am on PC and no longer have an xbox)

Just return it. Don’t even bother waiting, I’ve tried my best to tell them about this problem and they don’t even bother trying.
Got it as a Christmas present and quickly realized the deadzone issue, I’m surely never buying a Razer controller ever
Right Bumper just failed on my Wolverine Ultimate. First three Ultimates came with stick drift out-of-the-box. Had a Wolverine TE whose A button broke after 5 months. This Ultimate only lasted 4 months before the RB started malfunctioning.
Not even mentioning the problem I had with the intrinsic deadzone on the V2 "Basic". Truth be told, by this point the fault is wholly on me, I knew I was dealing with garbage products from a garbage company but I kept buying Razer controllers because they're the only ones who have the extra Top Shoulder buttons.
Never buying Razer again. Waste of time and money. No button is worth the hassle. Live and learn.
So i got the latest firmware for V2 Chroma - 1.1.1.0
The default deadzone setting is 4/4.
Do I leave it like that or set it to 1?
So in-game deadzone settings still will have no effect or will they alter in addition to the deadzone settings set in the Razer app?
I am seeing couple of you guys saying its fixed for them I am still facing the same issue alas. I was super excited for this purchase but here I am looking for solutions online instead of smashing guys in games. Well I have tried
gamepad test and watched plenty of youtube fixes nothing seems to work for I hope to find an appropriate solution soon!
Can confirm what
soloIVORYDarkOrchid252 said. Still on 1.0.6.0, tried both on my Xbox and PC, can't get the app to show an "update firmware" button. Vanilla Wolverine V2, but that shouldn't mean anything as the only difference between the two is that the Chroma has RGB, right?

Still waiting :/
ayyy its fixed just went from dying for hours straight to 4 wins in one hour
Unfortunately, I bought this controller a month ago. I really regret it, because I didn't know about this problem with dead zone. The software and controller are updated (1.7.84.0 / 1.2.0.0) and even with the dead zone at 1 in the app (and with the lowest possible in the games) it's still horrible! I have the elite 1/2 and the wolverine v1 and the difference is absurd. If anyone knows of a solution, please tell me. BR Tullio
On all 4 of my Wolverine V2 Chroma, the first thing I do is go into the app and COMPLETELY remove deadzones for both sticks. This makes them the most smooth and enduring sticks on the market, imo.
Now if they’d only fix the plastic bracket flaw that breaks some back buttons after a while….

My Black V2 latest firmware update reads as 1.0.6.0.
However my White V2 reads as 1.0.9.0.
And my V2 Chroma reads as 1.1.1.0
No issues with any of them so far.
So, they released the new firmware for the V2 White, but not the V2 basic? This is crazy. Does your V2 White allow you to change the deadzone in the razer app?
Any news about the firmware update for Black V2 ?
Thaaatt's crraazzyyyyy. lolSo i guess my request for a replacement product wont even matter...im tryng to playcod and im like stutter stepping. so fuckinng annoying
So... i bought this controller yesterday, i played for a few minutes and realized that the deadzone is just AWFUL in comparision with my old PS4 controller.
Do you think there is a chance or i must request a refund? I've also sent my problem to support. But i'm getting hopeless by this point.
Just return it. Don’t even bother waiting, I’ve tried my best to tell them about this problem and they don’t even bother trying.

Razer is doing a terrible job towards these controlers smh

I just had my right bumper break on my Ultimate after two years, trying to decided if I want another or just get a XBox controller. I will miss the back buttons on the Razer's though
I am having problems.with razer wolverine chroma v2 i have the cord plugged in to the controller and the controller shuts off it does it about 4 to 5 times when i am in a game why does it do that the cord does not pop out and it shuts off i wish the cord was built in the controller because i never had a problem with razer wolverine v2 and the cord built in side
for anyone playing apex through steam, I found that setting the anti dead zone to 0.25 does the trick.

Hello,
This issue on the V2 was fixed. No longer an issue for the Razer Wolverine V2 and will not be an issue for Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma.
Just checked before heading out for work. There is no patch and the issue is still present.
Razer has acknowledged our concern, and this is actually a feature of the controller to prevent users from experiencing drift. They have acknowledged that the more competitive players require drift to have better precision, and as a result will be implement a fix.
No ETA on the fix though
I kinda wish that we could run open-source software to configure our v2 Chroma, instead of proprietary Xbox Store apps available through the Microsoft Store.

Hello,
thanks for putting up all that info!
I want to buy a V2 Chroma but I’m unsure right now if I should wait until they drop the firmware update?
Is it 100% sure that it’s not a hardware issue?
Thanks

It is 100% a by-design feature. My guess is Razer wanted to eliminate complaints about drift for the casual gamers that care about drift. For example, on instagram I get ads for the v2 Chroma, and many comments complain about the controller exhibiting drift (these trolls are commenting based off previous Razer controllers, I assume, oh the irony). It is unfortunate that this is how joysticks work, and they pretty much all come from the same factory..
So what does Razer do after marketing studies the feedback in the public about their joysticks and drift? They work with developers to address the problem at its core and add a hard-coded deadzone via the software.
My guess is that they aren't testing it to the limits of a typical competitive gamer. Maybe they do, I don't know.. don't quote me on that. But in trying to solve one problem, they did us competitive gamers dirty. I don't blame them, there are probably more casual gamers than competitive gamers.
Customer support has escalated my ticket and they have acknowledged the desire to have a
configurable deadzone in the Razer controller app, they have a new firmware version out by now probably, but have to wait for their Quality Assurance team to really test it out (these are the testers). On top of that since the "Razer Controller Setup For Xbox" application is an Xbox Store application, it must go through Xbox's Quality Assurance testers as well.. Software is a beautiful thing, but really easy to break when trying to make better, so I am thankful for the rigorous testing processes. I'm sure they are rushing as the holiday season is approaching, and this is an attractive controller and they probably don't want any more people upset. Consider this as facing the reality as an early adopter.. Although this issue has been present in the v2 non-chroma.. So it took a few back buttons for it to be identified by the public.. I am not surprised, it's the sweatier, try-hard competitive gamers like s that notice these flaws.

So I’m just getting mine from the RMA for my Wolverine ultimate and yes it still has the issue..
Good to know I can RMA my Wolverine Ultimate for a v2 Chroma.. I bought a new Wolverine Ultimate so I can game without my bumpers registering 2-3x clicks when I really only pressed it once. Normal wear and tear but covered under warranty, which means I'll get a spare v2 Chroma, maybe I can gift it this holiday season.

Wolverine V2. Forza Horizon 5 - same issue. Inner deadzone there is 50% or more (when I use this lower sensitivity feature the cars in the game have handling is totally gone). Also ingame settings working weird.
- Inner deadzone from 0% to 50% - doesn't do anything.
- Inner deadzone from 50% to 80% - works as intended.
- Outer deadzone from 100% to 50% - works as intended.
If you move outer deadzone slider to 50% or less - all your handling range from straight to full turn will be like half of millimeter stick movement.
- Outer deadzone from 50% to 20% - keep steering range on this "half of millimeter" point and move INNER deadzone from 50% to 20%.
This is really torture to play game like that. It's the same as if I would play game with keyboard and I didn't buy this wolverine V2 to play game keyboard style.
Thanks for sharing man! I don't play Forza but I'm sure it requires precision movements for the most enjoyable gameplay. Deadzones are often configurable by the game, and I understand why Razer put this on.. Make the current setting the default, sure, lemme have the option to turn it off! Name it a feature - "Drift Killer" and market that maybe, lol.

Following the thread. I was very close to ordering it, but I won't buy it until this issue gets fixed.
If you want my honest opinion, I'd get it because I'm a Wolverine loyalist. But it'd be wise to wait until they fix it.
But if you get a sweet Black Friday deal.. you make the call
