Razer Kishi Mobile Game Controller/Gamepad for Android USB-C: Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, xCloud, Stadia, GeForce NOW, Luna - Passthrough Charging - Low Latency Phone Controller Grip - Samsung, Pixel

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.

Fantastic product. worked perfectly for my Google Pixel 6a (Android) and fully compatable with Minecraft. Bit of a deadzone in the middle of the sticks but not a problem and not any worse than Playstation 2/3 controllers, theres probably a setting somewhere. Great tactility and feedback on the buttons and triggers for this price point (~35-40 USD) If youre on the fence I'd say buy it and try it. also very lightweight but sturdy (large man hands feel comfortable but its far from bulky like xbox 360 controller feel)

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.
