This is the UK’s best Xbox Series X controller deal for Black Friday

The controller that comes with the Xbox Series X is good, really, it’s one of the best, but you can still do a little better. More specifically, you can go down the enthusiast route, looking for improved and even extra buttons, all in the pursuit of gaining an edge.

When it comes to making that step up from the standard controller, the Razer Wolverine V2 is one of the best directions to go. You gain a wire (sadly, but that’s out of Razer’s hands) but more so you gain an updated design and additional features you don’t get from the in-box offering.

Right now Razer has some fantastic Black Friday weekend deals and for UK-based gamers, the Wolverine V2 has a hefty price cut at Amazon. This is the best deal you’ll find on an Xbox Series X controller.

With improved switches over a standard controller along with trigger stops and additional shoulder buttons with remapping, the Wolverine V2 has a lot to offer as you make that jump to the next level. The design has been carefully crafted by Razer to be as comfortable as possible for as long as possible, and this is the best deal you’ll find.

Why might you even want to step up to a controller like this? Well, for a ton of today’s most popular competitive titles, say shooters like Warzone or Apex Legends, the old favorite Fortnite or even racing games, the additional features can make your in-game life much easier.

Here’s how I configured the Wolverine V2 to work better for me. In shooters, having the trigger stops enabled is a no-brainer. It reduces your actuation time so you’re aiming and firing just a little sharper. When playing a racer though, like Forza Horizon 5, you want those off for finer control over throttle and brake.

The extra shoulder buttons are a godsend. I have the left-hand one mapped to Y, as it’s usually the change weapon control in most titles. The right-hand one is mapped to X, which is reload. With this layout I never need to take my thumbs away from the sticks yet still have total control and quick access to switch to a different weapon or quickly reload while moving. I simply can’t go back to using a regular controller now, and you’ll find the same I’m sure.

This deal is live until Cyber Monday so you have a couple of days to get one. Even though it was built for the Xbox Series X|S (complete with share button), it’s just as good for Xbox One players as well. Go get it.
