our coverage of PAX Prime 2015 is powered by hyperx check out their Cloud
2 headset in the link in the description down below also thank you to ASUS and
Corsair we're checking out at Razer today is the Razer Wildcat this is
razer's first Fay into Xbox One styled controllers and this controller is
compatible with Xbox One and PCs running Windows 7 and above the last controller
they released was the Razer Sabertooth that was an Xbox 360 sty controller and
this one kind of grows on that uh it's just improved in a few different ways
that I actually really like the main change that I like is that on the back
of the controller where on the Sabertooth we saw a rocker switch two
rocker switches we now see two actual triggers these triggers are a lot more
solid what I didn't like about the sabertooths were that they kind of would
slide back and forth and over time they kind of got a little bit weaker these
triggers feel a lot more solid and they're also easier to remove just like
the last one it's a hex screw that removes them but unlike the last one
instead of having rubber plugs to stop her off the area you just drop the
little plug-in cartridge thing down into the controller and it looks very natural
and they're also much smaller which is actually kind of cool you won't have
your fingers get caught on them more easily and even if you're not using them
they feel much more natural just like the saber-tooth you have your stock
normal shoulder buttons and your additional hyper response but buttons
from Razer what I like this time around though is on the Sabertooth you could
feel them actuate but this time you can feel and hear them actuate so much like
the mechanical ABX y buttons you can actually hear them moving on from there
you have a 3M or 10t long braided USB
cable which they got rid of the screw connector for the screw connector was
kind of cool but caused some issues so now they've gone for more just general
compliance with a micro USB plug it has
rails on the side of it so you're not going to plug it in incorrectly and like
I said it's long and braided so that's actually pretty cool just like the
saber-tooth you have the same analog stick grip caps that we had before but
now there's also Palm grips optional Palm grips we unfortunately don't have
them here today so you might just see a still image of them or something but it
actually looks pretty cool the triggers have received an upgrade now on the
bottom of the controller there's two sliding switches one for each one of the
triggers and it's a trigger stop so basically if you don't have the trigger
stop engaged you can pull all the way down and it's a smooth longdistance pull
so you can be more careful about your shooting or with the trigger stop
engaged it's a short pull and you can get more rapid fire shooting depending
on what mood you're kind of in what kind of game you're playing that may or may
not be good for you and with a fast toggle like that doesn't really matter
then there's the four button control panel on the bottom button one is a
remapping button so you can press and hold this and then press the button that
you want to remap so like one of the hyper response buttons for the shoulder
buttons or one of the Triggers on the back and you can bind that to another
button on the controller the one beside that is a profile switch there's three
different profiles the first one is the default profile that has none of the
custom razor buttons bound to anything so if you it's like the first time
you're trying a game and you don't want to accidentally press a button that you don't know what it's going to do you can
go back to the default profile and then figure things out later on the second
two profiles are set as whatever you really want them to be so you can have
the trigger on the back as a or whatever you want to bind things to those go on
the second two profiles the third button is a mic mute and the fourth button is a
game chat balance and volume switch so one press increases the maximum volume
by about 20% a press and hold and then pressing the left and right buttons on
the d-pad moves the chat balance in your headphones or speakers and then a press
and hold and then up and down on the d-pad increases or lowers respectively
the master volume also in that controller box there's a input headphone
jack for your headset and one interesting thing about this compared to
the elite controller that I was told is that the elite controller is actually
kind of heavy the stock Xbox One controller weighs 262 G the elite
controller weighs 384 G and the Wildcat
weighs less than both of them at 260 g
I'm not necessarily sure if this is something you personally as the viewer
is going to care about but if you do get uh weary and tired of heavy controllers
something to take note of it's actually very light and has additional features
over the stock controller now to be fair I haven't had
a ton of time with it but one thing that I do have to say is I have experienced
with the Anza and the saber-tooth fairly extensively this feels a lot more like
the Sabertooth which is good I tried the Anza back in the day and it was a cool
controller but I did have some gripes with it and honestly overall I really
liked the saber-tooth there was a few things that I wasn't 100% keen on but
that's probably true about every single product that I've ever used and this one
improved the things that I wasn't super keen on and moved on from there so
pretty cool actually all right guys thanks for watching and thanks for
