These are the fastest two Xbox controllers on the shelves right now, but which should you buy?

A side-by-side image of the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro and the Asus ROG Raikiri 2.

If you've been hunting for the fastest Xbox Series X controller on the shelves, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro has been the clear choice for the last little while. With speedy microswitch buttons all over it, six extra buttons, and a refined use of esports mouse tech, it's an excellent controller to choose for competitive play where every millisecond counts.

It's now got a new rival though, which feels as though it's been produced as a response to Razer's new need for speed. The Asus ROG Raikiri 2 is, in many ways, an excellent rival to the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro. Both controllers are fresh-feeling reworks of an older generation controller that really needed a facelift. Both controllers have those speedy actuating buttons and a similar Xbox-shaped take on ergonomics. And both of them are officially licensed for the Xbox Series X at around the same price.
