Razer Kishi V2 Pro Mobile Gaming Controller Xbox Edition for Android: HyperSense Haptics - Universal Fit - Stream PC & Xbox Games - Play Touchscreen Only Games - White

EDIT: I've had the Kishi V2 for a while now and have talked some of my friends into getting it as well — it's a solid unit and one of the best on the market. I stand by my initial 5 stars, and have since been able to try out the touch emulation. Zero complaints. I've come to appreciate its subdued appearance, Razer products have a tendency to be really flashy and garish. I know the GameCube came out 20 years ago at this point, but it continues to be quite surreal being able to play GameCube games on the go on a general-purpose device, with physical controls! Original review follows, with some edits based on my experience: I have a hackable Switch, but chose to try this out after being extremely disappointed with the Switch's performance as an emulation system — late N64 releases barely run, and don't even think about playing GameCube games. The Kishi perfectly fits my Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro 5G out of the box (a phone too big for the Kishi V1, which has hardware about twice as good as a Switch). Buttons feel good, not mushy, and the sticks are good. Triggers feel nice, and the analog support is always nice to have (Looking at you, Nintendo.). The four auxillary buttons are in kind of weird places, but it works. Tightly grips the phone, and the slight curve to the grips is much more comfortable than holding the phone itself, or even Switch Joy-Con. Build quality feels solid; it flexes a little bit when fully extended, but that's not a position you'll ever have it in except when putting the phone in. The Razer Nexus app is a little weird and not terribly useful, but it runs under microG and doesn't require an internet connection. The touch control emulation works great in the few apps I've tried it in, but it's necessarily a pretty subpar experience. I didn't keep playing games that required it, native controller support is the way to go. Verify that the games you want to play support controllers before purchasing! Works perfectly in RetroArch, Lemuroid, and Dolphin — also works to navigate Android itself. Waiting (im)patiently for Yuzu controller support to report on that. I got this on a Warehouse deal for ~$60. Its normal $100 asking price is a bit steep, but it's not too bad compared to its competitors and for what you get.

I don't really do reviews, but wanted to address the concerns I had prior to purchase. I've had the Razer Kishi for Android for 2-3 months now. It has no internal battery to worry about. Plugs straight into your phone via USB-C and has a USB-C port for passthrough charging while playing. Will it fit with your case? I highly doubt it. I have a Galaxy S22+ with a Speck Presidio case. Pretty standard on thickness. The thing is, it fits into the controller if you change to the smaller rubber pieces. The problem is the USB-C on the controller isn't long enough to insert all the way. I mean it's not even close. I have to remove the case for it to work. I was prepared for this when I purchased. This is the one disappointment I have with the design. Razer should have had a longer USB-C plug with one more replaceable rubber fitting to accommodate most phone cases. You download an app and open the game through the app. For games that have controller support, that's it. If the game doesn't have controller support, this app has a virtual controller you can set up unique to each and every game. This was a big reason why I picked this one. It works by emulating taps and swipes on your phone screen. It really is very adaptable and will greatly increase your gaming quality of life if you want to use a controller. Where the virtual controller fails is when buttons move on the screen. Think along the lines of battle controls vs town controls. This hasn't been an issue for me. It just means sometimes having to actually click a button on the screen. I don't use a controller a lot, but this one makes it a whole lot more convenient than my old one. It's light, slim, I don't have to connect bluetooth, and there's no battery to worry about. It was $60 when I bought it and I have no regrets.

Quick Take This controller is comfortable and responsive and works well for mobile gaming. The biggest downside is that it isn’t as compact as the Android version, making it a bit harder to carry around. What I Like ✓ Ergonomic design that feels good in the hands ✓ Buttons and triggers are responsive and work well ✓ Pass-through charging is a great feature for longer gaming sessions ✓ Overall gameplay feels smooth and console-like What Could Be Better → Occasionally kicks me out of the game to the iPhone home screen → Less compact than the Android version due to the rigid back design Real Use / Final Thoughts My kids and I have been using this controller for over a year and it has held up well. The controls are responsive and it definitely makes mobile gaming more enjoyable compared to touch controls. The main trade-off is portability since the back doesn’t collapse like the Android version, so it stays fairly wide when carrying it. Despite a few quirks here and there, it’s still a solid controller that does what it’s supposed to do and makes gaming on the phone a lot more fun.

Compatible con redmagic 9pro. Buena vibración del control. No traía el mes de game pass y podría pensar que era usado. Jajaja pero bno, con aduanas no se sabe pero le doy 5/5 porque funciona perfecto con mi redmagic 9pro

Este es el primer control que compro para mí teléfono, pero la verdad siento que está muy difícil superarlo además que yo lo conseguí nuevo y a mitad del precio original. En lo que corresponde a portabilidad, es lo suficientemente compacto como para guardarlo en la chamarra o mochila, pero no es tan pequeño como para incomodar las manos al usarlo. Los botones se sienten increíble, al probar los microswitches me pregunt o como es que no los usan más controles, son super suaves y con nulo recorrido, los gatillos se sienten super suaves y responsivos, pero obvio no tendrán tanto recorrido como un control normal, el Dpad pensaba que sería un poco incómodo por la posición, ya que en el xbox no me gusta usarlo, pero la verdad es que queda perfecta la posición y es de los mejores que he usado, muy comparable con los play station, el pero para muchos, las palancasson un gran pero, ya que son exactamente iguales a las del switch, pero en mi opinión, unar más grandes serían un poco incómodas para un formato portátil. Yo lo he estado usando para xcloud, alguno que otro juego de android como dead cells, Minecraft Stardew valley, etc., y emulación y en todas es excelente, no te defrauda en nada. Lo único que le veo malo es la app, pero se puede pasar de largo ya que no es obligatoria. La verdad, yo me la pensaría 2 veces comprarlo a precio completo, ya que si es bastante elevado, pero si lo encuentras de oferta, cómpralo, no te arrepentirás.

Great controller, feels natural in your hands and work with my S21 Ultra perfectly Sadly, it didn't take one month before the right Joystick starts drifting badly What a waste

Amazing controller. Uses micro switches for the buttons so everything feels snappy and responsive. Best dpad on a mobile controller short of an official Xbox series controller. Analogs aren't full size but feel more responsive than the switch ones for me with better gradual resistance. Ergonomics are good but the pads are small, which is great for portability, probably not great for really large hands. The whole build feels really nice and stable, good quality plastic. I would say overall it comes close to matching first party quality, way better than any other 3rd party controller. It's slightly smaller than a switch when connected to my Galaxy S20 FE. The telescoping back adds a bit more depth, but it's height is much smaller. The controller has no noticeable latency due to using a direct USB-C connection. It's the same as using a native device. Which brings me to the only sticking point, that for the price you pay you're not getting blue tooth, which some games require to use a controller in the first place(call of duty, apex). But those games seem to be the only exception I've found, everything else especially emulators work without a hitch. This could be fixed in future updates. Overall, this is the best mobile controller that snaps onto a phone, by far. I've tried a bunch of them from different companies and they all have faults. The Razer Kishi V2 is the summit, nothing comes close. There are really no issues to speak of. Hopefully the buttons, telescoping back and USB c connector hold up over time. Well worth the money, especially if you can grab it on sale, then it's a no brainer.

I recently purchased the Razer Kishi V2 for my mobile gaming needs, and I have to say that I'm very impressed with this product. The Kishi V2 is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to play mobile games with a controller-like experience. One thing that really stood out to me about the Kishi V2 is how easy it is to mount onto my phone. The Kishi V2 has a flexible design that allows it to fit securely onto a wide range of phones, and it's as easy as sliding the phone into the device. Once the phone is in place, it's very secure and doesn't move around at all during gameplay. The controller itself is very responsive and feels great in my hands. The buttons and triggers are all very tactile and easy to press, which makes playing games much more enjoyable. The controller is also very lightweight, which means that I can play for hours without experiencing any hand fatigue. Another great thing about the Kishi V2 is that it's compatible with a wide range of games, including many of my favorite titles. It's also very easy to use with services like Xbox Game Pass and Google Stadia, which makes it a great option for anyone who wants to play console-quality games on their mobile device. Overall, I highly recommend the Razer Kishi V2 to anyone looking for a high-quality, easy-to-mount controller for mobile gaming. It's a great product that delivers amazing results. Give it a try - you won't be disappointed! 5/5 stars.
