Razer Kishi V2 Mobile Gaming Controller for Android: Console Quality Controls - Universal Fit - Stream PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Touch Screen Android Games - Customizable Triggers - Ergonomic Design

Really impressed with the controller, especially at the sale price of 45 dollars. Truly brings a handheld console-like experience to your android device, given that it's powerful enough. The Nexus app integrates really well with android, simple, intuitive, and responsive. The pass through charging is very convenient. Game support is generally good, but may be hit or miss depending on the game's support, but the top games usually works well. Input lag is minimal as expected. The buttons are clicky and overall fits well in my average-to-small hands.Only real issues is finding the right combination of risers to fit with your smartphone. My pixel 8's camera bump forced me to go without any risers on the bump side, and the regular padded one on the USB port side.

You can’t beat this for the price!Be aware that you won’t be able to use a case with this

After using an xbox controller with a phone mount for a while, I was looking at more portable mobile gaming controllers. At a discounted price of ($60), and great features I choose the Kishi V2.The build doesn't feel cheap, and the design is well thought through. The ABXY buttons are clicky and tactile, not increadbly loud, but not quiet either. Same goes for the bumpers, extra macro buttons, and directional pad. The joysticks are decent with limited movement, but I think was the right choice for a portable controller.Most cases won't fit, unless they are slim ones. The rubber pads included help keep the phone sturdy if you don't have a case. I also like the edition of pass through charging having a small battery, although it doesn't have a headphone port. I always use bluetooth headphones, so that wasn't an issue for me.The Nexus app (A shortcut button for the app is on the controller) has a game launcher, game discovery, controller firmware updating, and mapping for the macro buttons. Although it doesn't need a subscription, its pretty basic, and I wish you could map the nexus button to a launcher of your choice. Things like background ambience, custom icons, and smoother transitions would be a nice addition in the future.Overall the unboxing, and build quality was a great experience. The nexus app just needs a bit of fine tuning.

I use it to play emulator games on my S23 Standard and it fits perfectly. I like the stiffness of the joysticks as well!

3 stars because when I first connected it it ran flawlessly it felt great The micro switch buttons take some getting used to they don't feel like they'll hold up. The travel distance on the analog is not great but it still feels good triggers are perfect if it could hold up like the first one which I still have in the drawer I would definitely rock with it but I've only had it for an hour or two and I have noticed my phone catches on fire almost literally it gets so hot and the last time I tried to play it just went bananas started pressing buttons by itself flickering and disconnected. I wouldn't expect it to have that much of an effect on my Galaxy s24 ultra via usbc but then connected to my Moto flip ultra the phone remains cool as can be. So there's something going on between this device and the Galaxy s24 ultra. But still no other controler has this issue and that's why I'm debating on keeping it or not. I still feel that's a factory defect because the s24 ultra is a good phone and supports all type of features I doubt it would have a problem with a USBC controller and then again as I said the Moto has zero problem with it

The first time I bought one of these I had to return it because the left analog stick wouldn't click and barely had any travel. It seemed fine other than that so I took a chance on a used one here, and it was fine UNTIL about 3 months later when it started to develop left stick drift. These came out mid 2022, so even though I got an Amazon Warehouse item, at the MOST this was only 8 months old. Not even a year. Being a controller player, drift is something you get used to, and I could deal with it until today when my character started to move unbearably slow.Now the real issue. I knew this controller used joycon style modules, which are REALLY easy to change out. Two screws and a ribbon cable, done. EXCEPT.... just so happens Razer decided to SOLDER THE MODULE TO THE BOARD, and I don't mean just to hold it in place. Instead of a ribbon cable there is an entire series of pins soldered directly into the board. I also opened up the module since it was already a lost cause as soon as I saw the soldered pins. Yep, same wear that you see in a joycon. The wear on joycon modules goes back WAY before 2022. You'd think they'd leave the ribbon cable so these could be easily swapped out. I don't know if the intent was to make you "just buy a new one", but the result for me is "I will never buy another controller from Razer again".There are a few pro's:-comes in a nice box-lightweight-M buttons are in a nice spotCons-terrible choice to solder known defective modules when they're already widely available as plug and play.-HORRIBLE ergonomics. This was the most uncomfortable thing I've ever used. I went and got some joycon grips and figured out a way to attach them. (joycons also have terrible ergonomics, this is why other companies make grips)Ok the following are a little outside of the item's purpose but worth noting.-cannot map the app button (this ends up a wasted button since you can just open the app on your phone)-cannot assign keyboard keys-zero PC support (works on PC but you need to figure out yourself how to get it working, and don't bother, it's not worth your time for this thing)Yes you can find some third party programs to assign different keys and presses, but these are things I'd expect to see natively on a Razer product. Any mobile/cloud games that would take issue with keyboard keys being assigned wouldn't have them as a valid input to begin with, so I don't see the point of these limitations.It's almost like they just took all the worst things about a joycon, and made some of them even worse, and then put their name on it. in fact, if this were a debate, any for argument making a compromise, I would confidently respond with "but this is a Razer product".I'm sorry I know I wrote a lot but this was just a VERY bad experience. We have 3 pc's in our home with quite a few Razer peripherals attached, so this was very disappointing. There was a lot I put up with using this controller and getting it to work, but the pin soldered modules is the last straw.Maybe you feel the same, or maybe you now know some potential issues and these either don't apply to you, or you are willing to deal with them. Either way hope this helped, and best of luck to you all. But personally, I do not want to see or think about this controller ever again.
