Welcome back to the Pro Controller Weekly Roundup, Vol.13. This week: Razer, Nacon, SCUF, GameSir, and Machenike. Let's go.

Missed last week? Catch up on Vol.12: Flydigi's Collab Wave & the Apple Rumor.

Wolverine V4 Series — Detachable Everything, 8K on PC

Razer has announced the Wolverine V4 series ($199.99), and while it looks nearly identical to the last generation, two changes are tucked inside. The faceplate is now detachable, revealing a frosted semi-transparent shell underneath rather than a fully clear one. And the back buttons are now four detachable paddles — you choose how many to run, which is genuinely thoughtful given how much back buttons shape the grip feel.

The sticks are now capacitive, reportedly Ginfull-made — and possibly related to the unit in the upcoming Rainbow 3 Pro, though that's unconfirmed at this point.

The spec-sheet headline is 8000Hz polling in PC mode — with one big asterisk: that 8K mode doesn't run on the Xbox One protocol, which means no native trigger rumble in that mode. Whether Razer adds a 500Hz One-protocol mode for PC remains to be seen. Connected to an Xbox console, you're still looking at 250Hz.

Also worth noting: Razer's product page is light on vibration details, and it appears the previous haptic/audio-based rumble has been swapped back to traditional rotor motors. A small step back, if so.

Revolution 5 Unlimited — a Screen, at a Price

Nacon has launched the Revolution 5 Unlimited (€199.99), the first PS5-licensed controller with a built-in screen. The catch: adding the screen meant removing the touchpad. Whether that trade works for you depends entirely on how many of your games actually use the PS5 touchpad — for some players it's a non-issue, for others it's a dealbreaker.

Otherwise, the package mirrors its Xbox-licensed sibling, the Revolution X Unlimited. One open question from that Xbox version carries over: its screen and driver software don't support all languages, and it's unclear whether the PS5 version ships with the same limitation.

Nemesis Pro 8K — First 8K from the Custom Kings

SCUF has released its first 8000Hz controller, the Nemesis Pro 8K ($199.99). Visually it reads as an 8K evolution of the Valor line, and the back buttons stick with the company's familiar paddle layout — no extra mini shoulder buttons. Say what you want about SCUF, they know their formula and they're sticking to it.

G7 Pro 8K in Two Clean New Colors

A quick one for the GameSir fans: the G7 Pro 8K now comes in two new colorways overseas — pure white and pure black, both at $79.99. Clean, simple, and honestly pretty sharp-looking if you prefer your setup monochrome.

G5 Pro V3 Teased

Finally, Machenike dropped a poster for the G5 Pro V3. From the imagery, it appears to feature an adjustable-tension stick — possibly the Ginfull KT26 that's been showing up everywhere lately, though that's speculation for now. No other specs announced yet; we're watching this one.

That's Vol.13. The 8K-ification of everything continues, and now even the licensed-console crowd is getting weird with screens. See you next week.
