Razer Wolverine V2 and V2 Chroma Deadzone Issue | Razer Insider
Skip to main content
So there is an INSANE issue for these controllers that can be considered a design flaw. There is something known as "intrinsic deadzone" on these controllers is about 15%-20% from what I have seen online. It doesn't matter whether or not it is adjusted in-game, the firmware takes over and makes the deadzone 15%-20% or higher depending on the game deadzone settings. An example of this would be if you set the deadzone to 5%, it would be overridden by the firmware and sets it to 15%-20%. If you set it to 25%, it would be 25%. The easiest solution for this would be to allow a software deadzone control. Another one could be a firmware update. Here are some videos/forums filled with people having this issue. CHECK EDIT 2!

This is honestly a shame because other than that, this controller is definitely the best on the market right now if this wasn't an issue. I will be sticking to my Wolverine Ultimate for now until this gets fixed.
Edit: There is another more detailed video on this issue. It is in Japanese but he has a more advanced testing methodology.
Edit 2: as of 12/3/2021 THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED! ALL U NEED TO DO IS GO TO THE RAZER APP AND CONFIGURE THE DEADZONE OPTION AND UPDATE YOUR CONTROLLER TO THE LATEST FIRMWARE!

This is promising. If they add deadzone customization to the controller app - that supersedes a game's deadzone setting, I'd be extremely happy. I'm content with them just giving the deadzone setting back a game's setting. I'm cautiously optimistic. I just bought a v2 Chroma, and I'm hoping they fix this before my return window runs out...

Honestly bro I would return it and get a wolverine ultimate while you can that way atleast you can play without the problem and when and if the issue gets resolved you can send the wolverine back to razer and they will replace it with a chroma because the wolverine is legacy. Just saying it’ll save you that 50 dollars on a inoperative controller and still end up getting it in the long run once it’s fixed and for cheaper

Hello this futre therd or no
mine has the same issue uf they fix the issue it'll be my go to controller. I hope they fix ut soon im about to return it and get the elite again, because id rather have drift than not being able to hit a single shot
There was a firmware update just pushed out bringing it to 1.0.90.0 but the issue still persists. I really like this controller but for the price this is unacceptable.
Hahaha, I'm out guys. 15~20% deadzone is just way too unusable and unacceptable for the price, and I see no concrete sign of being fixed any time soon. I ended up buying Victrix Gambit Dual Core controller as an alternative, which is reviewed by the same Japanese Youtuber on the thread.
