This is amazing news! I've been testing wirelessly for about a half hour and I can say it DOES feel like it has been fixed! I'll do some more testing tomorrow, but so far, so good!

    This is amazing news! I've been testing wirelessly for about a half hour and I can say it DOES feel like it has been fixed! I'll do some more testing tomorrow, but so far, so good!

    Can't wait for my laptop so i can update as well, one more day (hopefully only one) 😭 

      Thanks for sharing these details, since the controller works well wired but not wirelessly, it is worth testing the dongle close to the controller with a clear line of sight and away from other wireless devices or USB hubs. Also try the controller on a PC first to rule out a console-specific issue, and make sure the latest firmware update is fully completed before retesting. If the problem persists, opening a support ticket with a short video of the aiming issue will help the team reproduce it.

      Really glad the firmware update sorted it for you — I had the same wireless drift on my V4 Pro and it was driving me mad in games. I ran the updater on PC following the PC/XInput instructions and my first wireless session after it felt noticeably steadier. Fingers crossed it holds up for everyone else here too.

      Hi @xKID_CHAMELEONx,

      Thank you very much for your reply and for explaining how you successfully installed the firmware update. I really appreciate your help.

      Unfortunately, my problem starts before I can even install the update. Razer Synapse 4 detects my Wolverine V4 Pro, but it says the controller is in Xbox Mode and does not allow me to open the Cockpit.

      I have repeatedly tried Function + Menu + A with both the original USB cable and the HyperSpeed wireless dongle, but the controller never switches to PC/XInput Mode. The UPDATE button in the separate firmware updater also remains disabled.

      You recommended resetting the controller to factory settings. Could you please explain exactly how to perform a factory reset on the Wolverine V4 Pro, step by step?

      • Which buttons or application do I need to use?
      • Did you personally perform a factory reset, or was this just a suggestion?
      • Will the reset erase my saved controller profiles and settings?

      I also have a very important question:

      Could you please test whether you can successfully switch your controller from Xbox Mode to PC/XInput Mode and then open the Razer Synapse 4 Cockpit?

      Specifically, can you access the thumbstick settings, deadzones, trigger settings and other customization options inside Synapse 4?

      Have you ever used the Razer Controller Setup for Xbox app before switching to Synapse 4? I used my controller on Xbox Series X and configured it through Controller Setup before attempting to use Synapse.

      Could you also explain exactly how you press and release Function + Menu + A? Do you hold Function first, then press Menu + A, or press all three simultaneously?

      I would really appreciate your guidance because I have been struggling with this issue for quite some time.

      Thank you again for your help!

      Hello everyone,

      I have some great news, and I would like to correct my previous posts about the Razer Wolverine V4 Pro!

      Both of my problems have finally been resolved! The latest firmware update works, and I can now fully access Razer Synapse 4/Cockpit!

      First of all, I want to apologize for my earlier comments suggesting that the firmware updater wasn't working properly. After spending more than a week trying to solve the problem, I finally discovered that the main issue was actually my own mistake.

      I had completely overlooked the tiny circular Function button located at the bottom center of the Wolverine V4 Pro.

      Since I had never owned a controller with this button layout before, I mistakenly thought the B button was the button I needed to use. As a result, I kept pressing B instead of the actual Function button.

      That was why I couldn't switch my controller from Xbox Mode to PC/XInput Mode, access Synapse 4/Cockpit, or activate the UPDATE button in the firmware updater.

      I even recorded and sent three detailed troubleshooting videos to Razer Support yesterday, repeatedly demonstrating the problem while unknowingly pressing the wrong button!

      I honestly can't believe I overlooked something so small for so long.

      A huge thank-you to the Razer Insider member gdspd8!

      He kindly contacted me privately and sent me a picture of the Wolverine V4 Pro with the three correct buttons clearly marked. That single picture helped me identify the tiny Function button and finally solve the problem within minutes.

      After pressing the correct Function + Menu + A combination, I successfully entered PC/XInput Mode and installed the latest firmware update, v1.01.00_r1, released on November 2, 2026.

      I was also finally able to open the full Razer Synapse 4 Cockpit and customize my controller for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Battle Royale and other games, including trigger sensitivity, rapid triggers, thumbstick deadzones, calibration, and additional settings.

      I restarted my PC afterward and confirmed that all my settings were still saved correctly.

      So I officially want to correct and withdraw my previous complaints that the firmware updater and Synapse 4/Cockpit were not working for me. The problems I experienced were caused by my misunderstanding of the Function button.

      I will also contact Razer Support to let them know that everything is now working and explain what happened in the videos I sent yesterday.

      I sincerely thank the Razer Support team for their time and assistance, and I especially want to thank the helpful members of this community who took the time to respond and offer suggestions.

      I'm genuinely relieved and extremely happy that I can finally use all the advanced features of my €200 controller.

      I also hope that the latest firmware update successfully resolves the wireless aiming issues for everyone else experiencing them.

      To all Wolverine V4 Pro owners who may be struggling with the same mode-switching problem: Make sure you're pressing the small circular Function button at the bottom center of the controller, not the B button or the Share button!

      Thank you again, everyone, and happy gaming!
