The Razer Wildcat ships in eye catching packaging, with the front showing off the controller and the back listing key features such as built-in media functions and additional buttons.
Inside the box, you will find a hard carry case that holds the gamepad itself along with the manual and accessories.
Speaking of accessories, you do get a few of them – including a long, braided USB cable with a set of green rubber grips for the gamepad and analogue sticks.
The Razer Wildcat looks similar to a standard Xbox One controller prior to putting the green rubber grips on with a few notable differences. For starters, the analogue sticks have larger, flatter tops which should theoretically give your thumb better leverage and allow for more precise movements. The D-Pad is similar to the one found on the Dualshock 4 albeit with more of a tactile feel and finally, there is an inbuilt media controller complete with headphone jack.
The rubber grips Razer supplies you with can be a little tricky to line up properly and stick on, you may also end up with slight creases along the edges so getting it looking as perfect as the pictures will take some patience.
As far as customizable options go, here you can see that there are two additional shoulder/bumper buttons on top (M1 and M2), along with two optional triggers on the back (M2 and M4). Those of you who like an edge in shooters will also be happy to see lock switches for the main triggers, allowing you to shorten the travel distance for swifter activation.
In the image above you can see what the Razer Wildcat looks like next to Microsoft's own Xbox Elite controller, which offers similar functionality.
