Razer's new controller has TMR sticks and ultra-low latency Bluetooth for use with TVs

"Razer is announcing a new Wolverine V3 BT controller at CES 2026 that's designed for TVs. It's the world's first gamepad to use ultra-low latency Bluetooth, allowing it a sub-3ms response time, and the first accessory to launch under LG's "Designed for LG Gaming Portal" program. But since it's been developed in collaboration with LG, the Wolverine V3 BT can only achieve that ultra-low latency when used with compatible LG TVs running webOS 25."

"It works as a universal Bluetooth gamepad with any device supporting Bluetooth controllers, including other TVs, but it won't get ultra-low latency when doing so. As a TV-first controller, the new Wolverine V3 BT has some living room-friendly features like a built-in mic and TV controls on its D-pad. The new controller is similar to the standard Wolverine V3 Pro, but it lacks hair-trigger lockouts or extra shoulder buttons."

"Also, it's got two customizable rear paddle buttons instead of the usual four. While some of that is a downgrade, this controller gets one big upgrade: TMR sticks. The Hall effect sticks on the Wolverine V3 Pro are already anti-drift, but the TMR ones of the V3 BT should be more precise and less power hungry. Pricing and availability are not yet finalized for the Wolverine V3 BT."

The Wolverine V3 BT is a TV-first Bluetooth gamepad built to deliver sub-3ms ultra-low latency when paired with compatible LG TVs running webOS 25. The controller functions as a universal Bluetooth gamepad with other devices but will not achieve the ultra-low latency outside compatible LG TVs. Living room features include a built-in microphone and TV controls on the D-pad. The design omits hair-trigger lockouts and extra shoulder buttons, offering two customizable rear paddles instead of four. The major hardware upgrade is TMR sticks, which should improve precision and reduce power draw. Pricing and availability remain unfinalized.
