    Razer’s driftless new Xbox controller is $200 and may actually be worth it.

    The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro has:

    🛜2.4GHz wireless
    🧲Drift-free Hall effect sticks
    🦞Four customizable paddles and two extra shoulder buttons (for claw grip)
    🔒Hair-trigger lockouts with mouse-like clicks
    ⏩1,000Hz wired polling rate on PC
    🌈and RGB accent lighting.

    I’ve been testing it for over a week and there’s a lot to love. Stay tuned for my full review.

    <em>It looks a fair bit like the old V2 model, but look ma, no wires!</em>
    <em>The new rear paddles have an outward-swept arrangement, and the extra shoulder buttons help with claw grip style.</em>
    <em>The included zipper case houses everything, including the swappable stick caps, though it lacks any way to charge the controller while stored.</em>
    <em>It’s Razer, so of course there’s RGB, but it’s fairly subdued with just an illuminated word mark.</em>
    <em>The $99.99 Wolverine V3 Pro Tournament Edition, launching later in 2024, will be wired only and pare back small features like RGB.</em>

    Asus debuts a gaming keyboard with a new “Speed Tap” feature right after Valve’s ban.

    Among Asus’ peripherals announced at Gamescom is a new $199.99 ROG Falchion Ace HFX keyboard. It has Hall effect switches, 8,000Hz polling, and a “Speed Tap mode,” which sounds like the Razer and Wooting features freshly banned in Counter-Strike 2.

    Thanks for showing up with the beer after the party’s been raided, Asus.
