Razer Kishi for Android - Smartphone Gaming Controller (USB-C Connection, Ergonomic Design, Individual Fit for Mobile Phones, Analog Stick, Ultra Low Latency) Black

Alright the product itself deserves 5 stars hands down, solid build really responsive and no batteries. Folds in perfectly, really good design, and fits my 21:9 screen... Now, the android experience, games that are compatible, hard to find, The kishi app, rubbish and pointless no key mapping and games that are on their compatible list are not.(unistalled it straight away) If you have accessability turned on, in android this will break the Controler and it will no longer work, Not kishi (or other controllers) but android issues. Made shortcuts before launching my games and no issues after, Cod not compatible, but modern combat 5 is and its amazing. Also real racing 3. I am mostly using it for my psp emulator and that works amazingly. But if you think, you just plug it in, and all your android games will just work, well it might but most likely it will not, again not the controller but lack of games that are controller compatible. Devs, if you are reading this add controller to your games please... Can't handle onscreen control, so if the controller doesn't work with any game, I delete it and on to the next one. Hope it helps next buyer... Probably in the future more games will be gamepad compatible then this will come to life, and as long as phones continue with USB C port, I see it worth it, by then price might be higher... I am keeping mine

So, I had been looking for a controller that works with my mobile phone for some time and I came across this. Seen the original price and it instantly put me off, then it was on a Black Friday deal at half price (£50) so I bought it without a second thought. First impressions were great, it works straight out of the box with nothing extra to do, except for installing the app which isn't required for it to work (unless you want to use xcloud). It doesn't work for some games, only came across a handful so far but the majority of controller supported games work perfectly and if you use an emulator, you can easily remap buttons no problem. The controller sections fit snug around my phone, though not with a case, but you can remove the rubber buffers from both ends as they aren't glued in and won't get damaged when removed. Once removed the left side has a bit of a 'wobble' but isn't that noticeable when playing, there is no 'wobble' when the buffer is attached but then my case doesn't fit so you'll need to feel what feels better for you. After about a month of using the Kishi, i have no complaints, im impressed with it. A great device, maybe wouldn't spend £100 on one though.

Saw this on discount as Kishi 2 came out and decided to grab it for my Pixel 6. As many reviewers mentioned the controller itself is pretty good, so I would focus on the issues I managed to find. The phone doesn't fit into the controller out-of-the-box. You need to remove the rubber insert on the left which is relatively easy to do. If you want to fit the phone with the case on (I am using the Google one), you need to remove the right rubber insert too. It would've helped to include this information in the manual! Second, the navigation outside of the games is kinda weird, because the phone is positioned sideways but the d-pad still tries to scroll the screen left-to-right. It is not a big deal because you can still use the touchscreen but a bit annoying that d-pad doesn't recognize proper orientation. It is also not immediately clear which games support the controller or not, for that you need to download an Kishi app (which once again isn't mentioned in the manual at all). I was able to use the controller in Diablo: Immortal but both League of Legends: Wild Rift and Mobile Legends: Bang Bang didn't work with Kishi. Given the latter two are competitive multiplayer games I am not sure if this is by design to stop people with controllers getting an unfair advantage. Basing my experience on Diablo: Immortal, the device itself is really well made. The controller feels good to hold, buttons and shifts are easy to click. D-pad and sticks have nice movement. The controller is very responsive and I certainly felt less fatigued playing for a longer period than just using the touchscreen on the phone. Verdict: At a discounted price, Kishi is a good piece of hardware which will surely benefit an active mobile gamer. The main issues are on the software side, as not all games support the controller and phone navigation between apps is not very comfortable. Also, they could have done a better job on the manual.

Totally Awesome! Mainly used for playing Metalstorm (5v5 Flight Sim) and Call of Duty Mobile (COD like on Consoles and PC) Instant setup and lag free... One important point is that CoD:M only supports controllers via Bluetooth! So I just switch on Bluetooth and my cheap rechargeable PS4 Controller (bought recently on Amazon too) before starting the game. In the CoD:M Controller settings you can then select to Emulate your chosen controller on screen (show the button names on screen) which in the Kishi's case is Xbox buttons. Might not fit the widest phones... mine is 76mm wide and fits perfectly! There's a USB-C Passthrough connector which you can plug your usual phone charging cable when needed. The RAZER Kishi itself doesn't need charging or batteries! I'm Absolutely Delighted with this piece of kit! My gaming is a lot more comfortable since I got it! 😎

Bought this for use with xCloud, and it's genuinely revolutionary, turning my phone into a portable console. The controller itself is sturdy and well made, sticks feel great, face buttons are nice and responsive. The d-pad may be a little devisive as it's somewhat mushy, but I quite like it. The small triggers take some getting used to, and they don't feel as nice and smooth as the ones on the Xbox, but they're usable. Everything works perfectly with xCloud, both on the app and via browser. I don't have the Xbox branded version, but everything works as it should, right out of the box, it's literally just the branding that's different, so you can save yourself a few quid by not buying the official Xbox version of the Kishi. I have also used this controller with Stadia and GEForce Now and it works with both of those services. Use on mobile games is a little hit and miss. The list of games the Kishi supports is small, and I've found that some games listed as being supported aren't, and some games not listed work fine. There is a Kishi app which includes things like a launcher, which is very helpful. Overall, at least for cloud gaming on the go, this is an exceptional product, if a little pricey at full retail price.

The kishi was delivered in a good quality packaging and seemed to fit the bill of a portable gaming solution for android phones. The build quality is not i was expecting from Razor. The kishi felt light and had not weight. It felt like a cheap plastic import from china. The buttons had not click feedback or sensation which put me right off. For the price i paid which was almost the price of a xbox x controller, i didnt get the value i thought i would. The interface when i connect to your device is non existing straight out of the box. You will need to install a calibration app to map buttons etc. Its a good attempt at a portable attachment to your phone but i would preferred a bit more from the controller for the price you pay. The ergonomic are great and it feela good to hold in your hand. The stretch cable at the back is fiddly and hindering when attaching your phone. I believe the stretch cable probably has all the wires linking up each side of the controller. If you attempt to stretch it too hard you could ruin your controller for good. Would of been better to use a bluetooth solution or another form of connection. Its a nice piece of kit but i did not like the awkwardness of the cable at the back. Very easy to pull and stretch apart if your phone is a bit bigger. I was using the s21(without the case obv) and it was very tight fit. Gave it 3 stars.

Compared to similar offerings (such as the Flydigi Wee 2T) the buttons feel so much nicer. Input delay is kept to an absolute minimum due to the direct USB-C connection. Note that pass through charging might not work on some Android 9 phones, as I discovered the hard way. When my phone finally got its Android 10 update through, the pass-through charging began to work just fine. It is recognised as an Xinput controller - just like any Xbox One controller would be. If the app you want to use it with supports Xbox controllers, then this controller will be supported. It is very comfortable to use and I had no problems at all when using it in a long gaming session. The analog sticks do not suffer from deadzone issues like some ipega controllers do, which is good news. Some people may find the analog sticks to be ever so slightly stiff when compared to an Xbox One controller. It's something that can easily be gotten used to. The sticks click inward for L3 and R3 functions, which is nice. Great for using with Geforce Now / Moonlight etc. for game streaming.

Despite lack of handles, the ergonomics were quite comfortable as on the back the plastic is slightly pressed inward and I've been using it as a grip. A more grippy mold would have appreciated however, even if it's just a little grit texture. I've got a huge 6.5 inch phone and not only does it fit this stretchy controller, it's comfortable enough to grip for hours at a time as long as you're not the sort prone to squeezing the grip of your controller. I imagine it could strain one's hand with this thing. The passthrough charging is great, but theres no fast charging so I could potentially lose battery with intense usage, such as doing GameCube/Wii emulation or playing Genshin Impact. It's still a nice touch. Additionally, the port doesn't pass through data, so you can't use a USB-C dongle, and there's no headphone jack either. To be fair, there's clever holes on the end you plug your phone into which passes through the speakers very clearly. Additionally, if you have top-mounted speakers those also won't be muffled, as the rubber has ridges that prevent it from fully covering the speaker, so it sounds unmuffled too. Lastly on the USB port, because of course it's a physical connection the latency is simply brilliant. The buttons are okay. ABXY are soft and appear to have a linier press to them. As those sorts of buttons should, they appear to be rubber domes. Weirdly enough though, as someone who uses an Xbox controller a lot, seeing the A button be red, and the B button being green threw me off initially. It appeared to have reversed the traditional colours for A and B, as well as X and Y, but like, why would you do that? Anyway, the triggers are anolog, which makes them better for driving games as you can depress the trigger half way and drive slower to drift and such. What makes them slightly bothersome is how they are just short, my small index fingers are thicker than the triggers and could slip off if I'm not careful. The joycons are simply good, they're more like Xbox joycons than those low-profile Nintendo joycons, but it does compromise how slim the controller is, if you care. Lastly there's the D-pad, which isn't my favourite but it's passable. It's not clickly as how I prefer them, they appear to also be rubbery domes like ABXY, but that's fine. The issue is in classic games such as NES or GameBoy titles where you need precise movement. I can click the two adjacent directions to the one I'm pressing if I shift the weight slightly... Often resulting in me moving left and up, instead of simply up. It's a shame, I thought D-pad are supposed to be precise where you can only move in one direction at a time, but you can press more than one so it feels more like a gimped thumbstick. Put a pivot in next time. As one last point, this device sips power, as it's very hard to decern the power draw with or without it on; which is great. it leaves that precious battery for actual gaming, or just longer general usage. It's likely to do with the fact it has no rumble motors, but most phones have them so I don't put it against the controller. With it's mostly good ergonomics, the low power consumption and low latency, I really can just game playing classic titles all day, and while it's got a lot of concessions, I honestly think this is the best controller if you're into these telescopic phone controllers. Here's to hoping this inspires competition in this niche market. The Kishi definitely is hard to beat.

Ich war mir zunächst unsicher ob mein riesiges Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in dieses Gamepad passt. Nun bin ich absolut begeistert von diesem Gamepad das Handy dürfte jedoch in keiner Dimension größer sein. Dadurch das es gerade so ganz knapp hinein passt hält es bombenfest und ist somit auch für sehr actionreiche Spiele geeignet. Ausserdem liegt es gut in der Hand, die Knöpfe trigger und Sticks sind groß genug und es wirkt wie von Razer gewohnt überaus hochwertig verarbeitet. Durch den USB-C Anschluss hat man kein input-delay, was zusätzlich ein großer Vorteil bei actionreichen Titeln ist. Der Anschluss über USB-C kann jedoch auch zum Nachteil werden es gibt nämlich Spiele die ausschließlich für Bluetooth Controller optimiert sind. Dies musste ich leider bei Call of duty mobile erfahren, das Spiel hat den Controller zunächst nicht erkennen wollen. Dieses Manko kann man jedoch leicht überlisten. Ich habe einmalig, bei angeschlossenem razer Kishi, zusätzlich einen Bluetooth Controller mit meinem Handy verbunden. Dann habe ich das Spiel gestartet, bin in die gamecontroller Einstellungen gegangen, habe irgendwelche Tasten auf dem Bluetooth gamepad geklickt als würde ich es testen wollen, dann sofort auf dem Razer Kishi wahllos ein paar Tasten gedrückt und nun hat das Spiel das input des Razer Kishi plötzlich verstanden. Seitdem funktioniert es, ich musste den Vorgang niemals wiederholen, selbst nicht nach Neustart des Handys. Abschließend muss ich positiv hervorheben, dass es mobil ein unvergleichbar besseres Spielerlebnis ist das Display direkt zwischen dem Controller zu haben, ähnlich wie bei der Nintendo Switch. PS: Ich bin gespannt wann der Gummizug ausleiert aber da man diesen für mein Handy bis zum Anschlag auseinander ziehen muss und er dann aprubt gestoppt wird, wird mein Handy falls das passiert immernoch bombenfest halten.

bardzo zły pad

Top controller. Ideaal te gebruiken voor google stadia op de mob.

Ho preso questo controller perché mi era salita la scimmia per il gioco da remoto e su GamePass Xcloud. Inizialmente ero indeciso tra questo e il GameSir X2 Pro, ma dopo vari pareri positivi di conoscenti che avevano provato questo e anche per il costo (in offerta) minore, ho optato per questo Kishi. Che dire, è stata un'ottima scelta! Il feeling pad alla mano è di un controller robusto e completo nonostante le dimensioni e il peso contenuti (solo 140g), a telefono inserito potrebbe raggiungere circa il peso di una switch o di un controller normale, risultando più che sopportabile. La presa è quindi salda e anche il telefono si mantiene stabile all'interno. Il mio è un S21, piccolino, e non ci "balla", quindi da questo punto di vista la mia preoccupazione era infondata. Certo comunque dietro come si vede resta dello spazio vuoto per come si articola il controller, quindi un po' di gioco c'è sempre, ma nulla di fastidioso per la mia esperienza. Il supporto su Android è totale: tutte le app di gioco con cui l'ho provato lo riconoscono automaticamente, sia giochi nativi Android che praticamente tutti emulatori, e ovviamente anche le app di Xbox, il motivo principale per cui secondo me merita l'acquisto. In base alla connessione infatti, è possibile fruire di un'esperienza indistinguibile da una vera console next gen, a portata di smartphone. L'unico caso in cui potreste incontrare problemi è se giocate a giochi particolarmente sconosciuti o vecchi che non hanno implementato il supporto al joypad, in quanto non è possibile fare la mappatura sul touch screen come per le alternative cinesi. Io non ne ho sentito la necessità, ma siatene consapevoli. Il consumo (ovviamente dipende dall'app) non è neanche così marcato, nonostante il controller dovrebbe in teoria contribuire essendo collegato alla porta USB. Anche la porta di ricarica passthrough funziona correttamente, non ho testato con la ricarica ultrarapida, ma fino a 10-15W dovrebbe lasciar passare, oltre non credo. Ultimo quesito: ha senso? Dipende. Se giocate solo a casa vostra e avete una console fissa, probabilmente poco, giusto magari per qualche partitina a letto o sulla tazza. La sua forza è naturalmente in mobilità, magari dove prenda il 5G o un buon 4G+ o ancora un WiFi bello prestante, per poter riprendere magari con il Quick resume una partita interrotta a casa, in quei momenti morti (sui mezzi, in vari momenti di pausa/attesa...), oppure se siete particolarmente nostalgici anche qualche vecchio gioco su emulatore o, perché no, una partita a Fortnite.
