Razer Kishi Mobile Game Controller / Gamepad for Xbox Android USB-C: Game Pass Ultimate, xCloud, Cloud Gaming - Passthrough Charging - Low Latency Phone Controller Grip - Samsung, Pixel, & more

TL:DR: The Razer Kishi that I use for my iPhone 12 Pro is a solid console quality controller attachment that works excellent for iPhone gaming. I have played games from the Apple App Store and Apple Arcade to using the Playstation Remote app to play games through my PS5. Will drain battery fast if not plugged in. Pros -Comfortable to hold for extended periods of time. -Snug Fit to iPhone 12 Pro -Analog sticks and buttons are console controller quality -No battery to change -Lightening cable passthrough to charge while playing -Compact and portable -Direct connection so no button lag Cons -Drains battery fast if not plugged in I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch for my wife during the holidays and rediscovered how cool it was to have a portable gaming system. In the past, portable gaming with things like the Nintendo DS or PSP were “portable” gaming systems, but with the Nintendo Switch, it was a full fledge gaming console in your hands. This got me thinking as I love playing games on my iPhone and the iOS recently enabled controller support. I went to Amazon and did some research to see what my options were to add a controller to my iPhone. I knew I did not want a regular controller with a phone bracket above it as that seemed too gimmicky to me. I wanted to see if there was something like the Nintendo Switch. After a brief amount of searching, I came across the Razer Kishi. Comparing the cost of the Kishi to other bluetooth “bracket” style controllers, yes the Kishi is a little more expensive; however, how it fits to the phone and how well it works, in my opinion, is well worth the cost. The controller collapses into a small portable form factor which is easy to put into backpacks or purses without worry of damaging it. When you are ready to play, you just unlatch two little clips on the back, extend the controller out, and plug your phone in. Once you open a game, if the game supports a controller, it will just work! **Important note, the controller support and button configuration is per the game, not the controller. So if a game does not work as you might expect it, it is NOT Razer’s fault, but the way the game developer designed it** The gaming experience is excellent with the Kishi. It truly feels like a Nintendo Switch with the console quality controls. Every game I have played has been seamless. The controller IS NOT bluetooth, so you will be running on the phones battery. This does drain the battery much faster than a bluetooth controller, but on the flip side, there is no button lag, and you do not need to charge the controller so it is always ready to go. The controller has a lightening port on the bottom right that can be used as a passthrough to charge your phone while playing. If you are looking for a compact, solid console quality gaming controller, look no further. The Kishi has exceeded all of my expectations so far. There is even an iPhone app you can download to make sure the firmware is up to date and working properly which shows ongoing support for their already excellent product.

A lot people make money as professional gamers and tech reviewers. They are able to speak at length about different qualities of clicks and compare triggers and switches across platforms. that's fine when the controllers are all similar, but there is nothing like this anywhere. This is totally revolutionary. I am playing a AAAA title, cyberpunk, on my phone on stadia and it runs better over wifi than it does on a PC. Not able to get a PS5 so this is the only way I can get the game, and the best way in my opinion. My PIXL phone is now a high end ultra powerful console quality portable game device like a PS5 switch with an AMOLED screen! I couldn't care less about comparing the quality of the button clicks to PS, Xbox and nintendo. This rules and the buttons are great. quibbles with mushiness and clickiness are in the realm of stuff you won't notice at all. Do you really want to clip your phone onto the top of a regular controller? No. That would be really distracting I think and looks totally clumsy. This thing attaches easily to the sides of an android phone with USBC and works without latency. My PXL + Kishi is a way better gaming device than my nintendo switch overall. It really doesn't matter about preferences for buttons. they are fine. and the reviews that talk about it not being "heavy" like a quality controller? the weight is the battery and this doesn't have one. None of the critical reviews make any difference in gameplay. This rocks. Buy it. I am a dad and don't have time to sit in front of the tv and play a PS5 game without my kids, but I can sit on the couch and game while they watch cartoons. This is the first time I've gotten to play good video games since they were born! Thank you Razer this is amazing. ***update**** ok I have had this for a while now and after comparing to my stadia controller and switch pro controllers, yes I can see that buttons are kind of bad by comparison. the switch pro and stadia controller feel effortless and give a tiny tactile click that serves as player feedback. response on the Kishi feels gummy, especially on the dpad. overall it feels like the buttons maybe use a rubber overlay, and not mechanical switches. I don't know I'm not going to open this. The shoulder triggers also have a sort of scrapey feeling whereas on a pro controller feels effortless and has a mechanical tactile response. I think for the price point, which is greater than both my other pro controllers, razer could have made better switches, especially considering that without a lithium battery the cost of materials here isn't that much. I think I am going to deduct a star here since yeah the buttons could be better at the price point. However, I think the form factor is totally revolutionary and so much better than clipping your phone above a controller. I still recommend this but it definitely should have either much better switches or be 25 dollars less. **update 2*** I'm coming to appreciate the buttons a little more especially since the triggers are analog, which means they communicate how hard you press them. I restored back to 5 stars but I still don't see why this is 70 dollars, especially since it doesn't have a battery or a bluetooth module. however, there is virtually no competition in this form factor so still a must buy.

La espera valió la pena, después de casi dos semanas, pude disfrutar del razer kishi. El principal motivo por el que decidí adquirirlo es porque padezco hiperhidrosis palmar (sudoración excesiva en las manos) lo cual me afecta mucho cuando juego con la pantalla del celular. Hay muchas buenas razones para hacerse con el razer kishi: Es muy portátil, prácticamente puedes llevarlo a donde sea, cuando vas a jugar es muy fácil desplegarlo y cuando dejas de hacerlo puedes simplemente volverlo una cajita que entra en tu bolsillo. La instalación es super fácil y sólo con unos pasos ya estaba jugando. Los materiales son de calidad, se siente sólido y muy bien hecho, el precio es justo, lo vale. A pesar de razer kishi utilicé la batería del celular, me pareció un buen concepto que no tenga batería propia, y que puedas cargar el celular a través de una ranura que tiene el propio kishi, lo cual me ha permitido seguir jugando durante horas. Puedes jugar los juegos de tu consola (en mi caso, xbox one) con mayor comodidad, hacerlos más íntimos mediante streaming, quizá pronto suceda lo mismo con el cloud gaming, el cual da la sensación de que se consolidará pronto y el kishi entrará más a escena. Compré la versión de iphone, y me alegra saber que es compatible con muchos modelos de iphone, incluso, trae adaptadores para iphones más pequeños. Los puntos que deberían mejorar, y que hasta cierto punto son negativos son: Me hubiese gustado que tuviese una entrada para poder conectar unos audifonos alambricos y no hacerlo forzosamente mediante bluetooth En mi opinión, los botones L1-L2 y R1-R2 están muy juntos, tengo que usar sólo los índices para ambos botones lo que dificulta la jugabilidad para manos medianamente grandes. Estaría mejor si el L2 y R2 estuviesen detrás del kishi, haría más independientes los botones para distintos dedos, con lo que podríamos usar los dedos medios y hacer la jugabilidad más versátil y cómoda. The wait was worth it, after almost two weeks of waiting for my product, finally I could enjoy the razer kishi. The main reason I decided to buy it was because I suffer from hyperhidrosis (excess of sweat on my hands), thing that affects me when I play on my phone. Nevertheless there are many good reasons to do with the razer kishi: It's portable, you can take it anywhere, when you play it's easy to unfold, and at the end you can keep it in your pocket. The materials are really nice, it feels nicely made, and for the price is fair enough. Even though the razer kishi uses the battery on the phone, you can still charge it through the cable of the kishi even when you are using it. You can play the games on your console with more comfort, and make it intimate through streaming and cloud gaming, the last one maybe would become stronger and the kishi will be more on trend. I bought the version for my iphone, and i'm glad that it's compatible with a lot of other versions of iphone, and it has more adaptors for other iphones. The things that can improve, anda that can be negative are: I would like to had a headphone jack and don't have to do it with the bluetooth In my opinion, the buttons L1-L2 and R1-R2 are very close to each other and it makes it difficult to play with large hands. It would be better if L2 and R2 be placed on the back of the kashi, they will be more independent, and we could use the middle finger and make it more versatile and comfortable.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ review. Works straight out of the box, good quality. I expected my phone rattle as it is a one size fits all but its surprisingly sturdy. Good button and joystick response.

Esse controle é maravilhoso e mudou minha relação com os consoles de mesa. Além de conectar imediatamente, sem burocracia de parear etc., por se conectar pela entrada lightning, o funcionamento é muito bom, muito responsivo e tem boa pegada. Poderia, pra mim, ser maior, mas acho que isso tb comprometeria outra grande vantagem dele, que é ser bem compacto para transportar (ele se fecha quase como num casulo, e fica bem preso). Único porém é que tenho um iPhone 14 Pro Max e ele só funciona sem a capinha (acho que é por causa do espaço extra que as câmeras tomam); sem ela, não encaixa. Mas acho que os modelos que não são plus size não devem ter esse problema, que pra mim tendo sido apenas um inconveniente

When you press the buttons, they don't bounce back up quickly. They feel kinda stuck. I don't think it's a defect, feels like that's how it's supposed to be. Not really good for the price I think.

Possuo um S23ultra e coube com certa pressão, mas o produto funciona perfeitamente e não tenho reclamações. Ele funciona em todos os lugares, até mesmo na One UI do dispositivo.
