It\u2019s important to note, however, that this is only achieved when an <b>8,000Hz polling rate <\/b>\u2013 both controllers support such a polling rate on PC, but you\u2019re stuck with 250Hz on Xbox on both controllers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It\u2019s also noteworthy that Razer provides \u201cresistance to magnetic interference\u201d as a selling point \u2013 it\u2019s a major reason why the company also has not pursued hall effect or TMR keyboards yet (apart from one exception). Perhaps it\u2019s due to the removable back buttons, which now use a magnetic removal mechanism<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Both the TE and the Pro feature dual mode <b>Razer Pro HyperTriggers<\/b> \u2013 this allows for users to switch between click-like actuation for FPSes, or full-range analog input detection for racing games. You can also adjust the actuation point <b>between 1.3mm and 8.2mm via Razer Synapse<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-s-different-between-the-te-and-the-pro-\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">What\u2019s different between the TE and the Pro?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_1sb7q_1\" alt=\"Razer Wolverine V4 controllers Singapore pricing and release\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f13cae357c1170e41e86ca2a5266a62ae5165bf71eb530380fc876486fa046a8?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f13cae357c1170e41e86ca2a5266a62ae5165bf71eb530380fc876486fa046a8?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f13cae357c1170e41e86ca2a5266a62ae5165bf71eb530380fc876486fa046a8?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f13cae357c1170e41e86ca2a5266a62ae5165bf71eb530380fc876486fa046a8?w=1320&amp;q=85 1320w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/f13cae357c1170e41e86ca2a5266a62ae5165bf71eb530380fc876486fa046a8?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.7777777777777777;contain-intrinsic-size:1920px 1080px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_wioo3_165\">The Wolverine V4 Pro has a few customisation features that the TE doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Razer<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The Wolverine V4 TE is the entry point for the new lineup, featuring only wired connectivity and micro-switch face and d-pad buttons. The Wolverine V4 Pro, by contrast, supports wireless connectivity via a <b>2.4GHz HyperSpeed Wireless dongle<\/b>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Battery life for the Pro is rated for up to <b>27 hours<\/b> of continuous usage.

Finally, the grips are also slightly different between the two \u2013 the TE features a laser-etched bottom grip, while the Pro uses a TPU grip.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"availability-and-pricing\" class=\"_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1\">Availability and Pricing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The Razer Wolverine V4 Tournament Edition and Wolverine V4 Pro are available for pre-order on Razer\u2019s website.
