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

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.

A solid product from Razer and great for mobile gaming. This controller was released at an excessive £100 barrier, which only the hardcore mobile gamers would access. The price point slightly lowered but it remained excessive, even more expensive than a PS5 DualSense without the abilities and capabilities to justify the price point, the price point was “jumping on a fad”. Now with the recent release of the second version, this is dropping in price to become much more accessible for the masses. I jumped on board and see that this is a solid product from Razer. My old Huawei Mate 20 Pro is packed full of emulation from DuckStation (PS1) and AetherSX2 (PS2) to Mupen64 (Nintendo 64) and Dolphin (Gamecube and Wii), it plays most games very well. Before I purchased this product I was using an Xbox One controller connected to the phone via BlueTooth to play games, but it was a cumbersome and heavy set up, and the Xbox One controller relied on AA batteries to power the controller. I tried using a DualShock 4 controller but set up was a pita, and I had the same issues again (heavy and cumbersome set up, poor battery life of the controller etc). This Razer controller solves the issues that I had with the console controllers. The Razer Kishi controller is light and sturdy. Releasing two clips on the back of the controller releases the mechanism to fit your phone. Using the USBC port it removes the need for BlueTooth, and the Razer Kishi is set as an Xbox One controller making it very easy to set up, set your controls and play games on the phone. The controller is comfortable to hold on my palms, I used to have a PSVita and used to hold it the same way that I hold the Kishi once set up. One downside I can see is specific to my Huawei Mate 20 Pro. I noticed that the left side of the Kishi controller is not clamped flush with the phone, meaning that when I play games with the set up I need to be careful to avoid flexing the left side upwards. There is enough flexibility on the Kishi to prevent it from tearing but it’s a reflex I need to get used to. I am considering using double sided sticky tape to secure the phone in place during play and using IPA to remove any residue when not playing with the Kishi. Overall this is a good low cost solution and I specifically recommend it to anyone using emulation. Edit (April 2023) - I noticed two more downsides to this. The first is the abhorrently slow charging ability of the Kishi when connecting the charger in it’s designated charging port, on the base of the right side of the Kishi. No fast charging whatsoever, in fact the charging reminds me of the old generic 5W chargers ever-present up to 5 years ago, and what was available on iPhones before they adopted the faster 20W standard. The second is the D-Pad is terrible and borderline useless for fighting games. I was playing Street Fighter Alpha 3 using the Kishi and performing combos with the mushy D-Pad is like wading through a sea of treacle. Just don’t bother with fighting games using the Kishi.

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.

I got this specifically for playing Microsoft Xcloud games and game streaming from my Series X. This controller is absolutely fantastic! The button layout mimics an Xbox controller pretty well, with all of the buttons except the share button. The butons and sticks all feel good and are nice and responsive. The analoge sticks and triggers work really well. The triggers don't feel exactly the same as on the Xbox controller, but still feel nice. The controller connects to your device via USB-C, so there is no noticable input lag. This keeps the bluetooth free for other devices such as headphones or external speakers. There is also a charge-though circuit so that you can charge your mobile device while using the controller. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. It is a MUST BUY is you are using Xcloud or device streaming on your mobile.

Worst product don’t buy specially if ur using an iPhone and Amazon will not even take the delivery u gotta pay for it so worst service of Amazon, firstly hey won’t tell u if the device is compatible with ur phone before delivery and upon delivery u have to spend from ur pocket to send it back which is more than half the amount u paid to buy the trash that does not work

Wrong item I believe he had to return it

Muy buen productor razer no se adapta a todos los modelos de móvil... Tuve que recortar la goma que trae para poder acoplar el Xiaomi 13t pro... Por la cámara... Pero funciona con cualquier juego lo uso con fortnite , calle o duty , GTA san Andreas , pubg y alguno más.... Y va muy bien la verdad estaría bien actualizarán para poder usarlo en más juegos y demás pero se pasan buenos ratos con el no consume mucha batería y aparte se puede cargar el móvil si hiciera falta ... Muy bueno volvería a comprarlo sin duda si me hiciera falta .

Diversamente dalla maggior parte degli altri controller, si collega attraverso un connettore type-C alla base del cellulare, che lo rende privo di qualsiasi latenza (problematica presente invece in ogni controller wireless). Questo ovviamente fa sì che sia compatibile solamente con smartphone con connettore type-C alla base e centrale (che tuttavia include la maggior parte degli smartphone prodotti in tempi recenti). Il controller stesso possiede un passthrough della stessa porta type-C, per cui è possibile caricare lo smartphone durante l'utilizzo, unica nota negativa è l'impossibilità (almeno nel mio caso) di poter utilizzare cuffie con jack mentre il controller è agganciato, cosa che obbliga ad utilizzare le casse oppure cuffie wireless.. Utilizza Xinput nativo, di conseguenza viene riconosciuto istantaneamente come un controller XBOX dalla maggior parte delle app, cosa che semplifica di molto la mappatura dei comandi, che in tanti casi è automatica. L'ho utilizzato per giocare a vari giochi mobile, con emulatori ed anche con Steam Link senza mai avere problemi. Ho smesso di utilizzarlo solo di recente, a seguito dell'acquisto di una console handheld, che preferisco, ma reputo comunque questo controller un ottimo acquisto.
