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

I love this controller. It connects as an X-Input device to your android phone, meaning it has good compatibility with modern android games that can use controllers. It works well with retroarch. It works great with Steam link, and is made for use with Xbox Game Pass. The buttons feel great, the D-Pad feels accurate and passes my Tetris test. The joysticks feel nice and accurate and have a decent throw. The shoulder buttons feel comfortable. The triggers are analog, and have a good pull to them. It connects to the phone using USB-C so there's no input lag, and has charge pass-through, so you can have uninterrupted gaming. And when you're not using it, it collapses down to a small enough size, that you may be able to put it in your pocket, or stash it in a bag or backpack and not take up much room. The Razer Nexus app is alright, but I don't really use it. It can act as a launcher for your games. It can set up and livestream to Facebook and YouTube. And can game stream from your PC if you install the streaming app on your PC. And it looks to integrate pretty decently with XBox Game pass. And now for a few cons: The face buttons feel a little mushy. You don't get much of a tactile feel from them. The controller may not be compatible with your phone's case if you're using one. I have a phone case that ads only about 2mm of thickness to the phone, and I have to remove it from the case to play. You really have to jam your phone in there until you feel the connector click into place, otherwise it wont work. For reference I'm using a Moto Power 5g 2023. I would have liked to see in the Nexus software the ability to map the controller buttons and sticks to various areas on screen for non-controller games. I still give it 5 stars, because it works perfectly for my use case, and I knew what I was getting before I ordered it.

I'm writing this review mainly for people who want to use this for ps4 remote play. (haven't tested it on ps5) This controller works amazingly on my Samsung Note 8. I was able to fit it and it worked right away. (plug and play) I will add that I had to purchase the 3rd party remote play app called PSPlay which is around $5. It was totally worth it since my phone is not at the correct OS for the official app to support controller use in general. (I have read that the official remote play app doesn't support this controller) The 3rd party app will immediately recognize the controller and already have all the buttons programmed for use. I think only the touch pad isn't there, but you can still use your phone touch screen for that at least. Now for what I wanted to use it the controller is perfect, but the controller itself does have some concerns. The D-Pad does feel a bit off when compared to a DS4, but so far I haven't had issues with it once I began to use it. Same thing with the button. The triggers feel odd to me, but I also got accustomed to then after a while of use. Eventually I got comfortable with the controller as a whole and have been playing Stray when I'm on break at work or some other forgiving single player game due to expected minor latency. Despite those minor initial concerns I got so used to them after a short time of playing that I no longer consider them issues, but others might. I've gotten use to many controllers in my life that just seemed too uncomfortable for others so I'm warning that my opinion is biased from me being able to adapt much easier in that issue than others. Hope this helped anyone who wanted to find a review relating solely on remote play stuff for the ps4.

UPDATE: I wanted to come write an update after about two weeks of use. I did some investigating and found the issue I had with the controller not responding was the game I was playing having issues with controllers at those points in the game. So that has been solved. The only issue I've found slightly annoying is it can sometimes be difficult to get the phone I to the controller but that's a problem with bigger phones I believe and maybe the support for the phone could be a little more solid feeling. Other than that it's performed well and still feels like a solid controller. The trigger buttons could also use some click to them to give a feedback of when exactly the button is clicked. I would still give this a very strong four and half stars may be more inclined to look at the version 2 sometime in the future. I've had this the Kishi for almost a week now and I thought I could give it a fair review. The Kishi was one of only a couple different controls like this I could find, so I decided to gi e it a chance being razer and all. For the price of the controller it seems like a really good deal. It feels good in the hand and feels like just a good quality controller. The button layout is nice, the shoulder and the trigger buttons feel good too. It also surpringly feels really solid with the phone in it, not like there's any give to it or like it might fall out or anything. The controller instantly is recognized by the phone and there's literally no sort of set up or anything needed. The charging port that provides charge through to the phone through the controller seems like it works well too. My phone literally just barely fits in it, like stretching it as far apart as it can go and it's a note 9,so I was worried about the fit but it's perfect. Honestly, I have a switch and when using my Phone in the controller it feels comparable, if not more comfortable than the switch feels in my hands. It feels just like a hand held. This is only the first week so we'll see how it holds up with time and use but I'm fairly satisfied with it. The only couple issues I have is the charge through can seem a bit slower than normal, but that's expected. Also, maybe everyday I've used it, at least once a day, it'll seem to oddly disconnect for maybe less than five seconds than just start responding again. For seemingly no reason in particular. I saw there was a version 2 of the Kishi so maybe that's fixed or maybe it's just a personal problem. I thought about getting the version 2 but for almost twice the price i thought I'd see how this one works first. Having used this one, I can't possibly fathom what they changed to make it worth almost twice version 1. For all those reasons I give it four stars, honestly more four and a half but whatever. Maybe version 2 is better and they made crazy changes, I'll never know, who knows, hopefully this one holds up for a while still.

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.
