Take mobile gaming to the next level

The Razer Kishi Controller fits the majority of Android devices, helping you to bring console-level control to your on-the-go gaming.

Enjoy next-gen gaming on the go

With cloud gaming you can play AAA releases on any screen. And by having the Razer Kishi Controller attached to your device, you’ll be able to take your gaming with you wherever you go. Choose from cloud gaming services such as Google Stadia, Microsoft xCloud, NVIDIA GeForce Now and more.

I got this! 😉

What follows is personal first impressions from me as a customer, using a device I purchased as a normal customer.

I'm an avid gamer (Xbox man through-and-through) and love gaming on my mobile whenever I'm away from home. I've tried a few Android controllers before and their quality and reliability has let them down. I've got several Razer products at home and know how good their quality is, so I jumped at this new product from them.

I've really not spent much time with it yet so it's just a quick unboxing and first impressions on build quality.

It has USB-C pass-through charging

I've got a Samsung Note 10 Plus 5G - so one of the larger devices on the market - and it's fully compatible with this Razer Kishi controller. The phone fits pretty snug and thanks to the rubber inserts, the phone feels very secure in this. It also only takes a few seconds to insert your phone ready to game, or to disconnect it. The buttons and unit itself feels solid and of good quality. I love Razer's decision to go with a matt black material as there's minimal chance of fingerprints showing up on it.

The buttons feel satisfying to use and the button placement is familiar to me as an Xbox gamer, with the right analogue stick under the ABXY buttons, and the left analogue stick above the d-pad. It may take me a little time to get used to the shoulder buttons though as they're obviously more compact than on my Xbox controller.

All-in, great first impressions with this accessory. Hoping to get some time in over the weekend on CoD: Mobile, Fortnite and game streaming via Microsoft XCloud.
