– It is claimed to be the world’s fastest gaming controller with a wireless response time under 3 milliseconds.
– The controller will primarily be used for cloud streaming games via the LG Smart TV app.

A major collaboration between Razer and LG has been unveiled at CES 2026, introducing a new controller specifically engineered for the living room. The Razer Wolverine V3 Bluetooth is a notable adaptation of the acclaimed Wolverine V3 Pro, but it has been reimagined with a clear focus on LG’s Smart TV ecosystem. This device is the inaugural product to receive the official ‘Designed for LG Gaming Portal’ certification, positioning it as the primary hardware for cloud gaming through LG’s dedicated television application.
The core promise of this partnership centers on performance. LG asserts that the Wolverine V3 Bluetooth will be the world’s fastest gaming controller in terms of wireless response time. This claim is supported by the adoption of what the companies call ultra-low latency Bluetooth connectivity, which reportedly achieves a response time of under three milliseconds. Beyond speed, the controller integrates dedicated TV control functions, aiming to streamline the experience of switching between gaming and entertainment on a single device.
While the announcement confirms the product’s existence and core features, several key details remain unknown. There is no official word on pricing or a specific launch date, though a release sometime in the coming year seems a logical expectation. Speculation on cost hinges on its final feature set. If it retains the high-end mechanical switches and customization of the V3 Pro, a premium price tag near $200 is plausible. However, if its compatibility is more narrowly focused on Bluetooth devices, it could see a reduced cost similar to the wired-only Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition, which sells for around $100. A final price point somewhere between these two figures is a common industry prediction.
This move signals a continued push by television manufacturers to enhance the native gaming capabilities of their platforms, with dedicated, certified peripherals becoming an important part of that strategy. The success of the Razer Wolverine V3 Bluetooth will likely depend on its final performance, price, and the breadth of its compatibility beyond the LG Gaming Portal.
