Razer’s Wolverine V3 BT: Ultra-Low Latency for TVs
Razer has introduced the Wolverine V3 BT controller at CES 2026, specifically designed for use with TVs, marking a significant advancement in gaming peripherals. It features ultra-low latency Bluetooth technology, achieving a sub-3ms response time, but this capability is exclusive to compatible LG TVs running webOS 25 due to its development under LG's "Designed for LG Gaming Portal" program. While it functions as a universal Bluetooth gamepad, it does not maintain the ultra-low latency on non-LG devices. The controller includes living room-friendly features like a built-in mic and TV controls, and it introduces TMR sticks, which offer improved precision and lower power consumption compared to the Hall effect sticks on the Wolverine V3 Pro. This matters because it represents a leap forward in gaming technology, enhancing the gaming experience on compatible TVs with faster response times and more efficient hardware.
