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.

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

Everything works as it should. The joystick feels of good quality. Button also feels of good quality. The only drawback that I didn't like was it didn't fit with my phone case on. If they were some hoe able to make the phone sit deeper and the usb-c plug extended out further or maybe a retractable usb-c wire, it would of been perfect. Other than that I give it 4 stars.

I don't really do reviews, but wanted to address the concerns I had prior to purchase.I've had the Razer Kishi for Android for 2-3 months now. It has no internal battery to worry about. Plugs straight into your phone via USB-C and has a USB-C port for passthrough charging while playing.Will it fit with your case? I highly doubt it. I have a Galaxy S22+ with a Speck Presidio case. Pretty standard on thickness. The thing is, it fits into the controller if you change to the smaller rubber pieces. The problem is the USB-C on the controller isn't long enough to insert all the way. I mean it's not even close. I have to remove the case for it to work. I was prepared for this when I purchased. This is the one disappointment I have with the design. Razer should have had a longer USB-C plug with one more replaceable rubber fitting to accommodate most phone cases.You download an app and open the game through the app. For games that have controller support, that's it. If the game doesn't have controller support, this app has a virtual controller you can set up unique to each and every game. This was a big reason why I picked this one. It works by emulating taps and swipes on your phone screen. It really is very adaptable and will greatly increase your gaming quality of life if you want to use a controller. Where the virtual controller fails is when buttons move on the screen. Think along the lines of battle controls vs town controls. This hasn't been an issue for me. It just means sometimes having to actually click a button on the screen.I don't use a controller a lot, but this one makes it a whole lot more convenient than my old one. It's light, slim, I don't have to connect bluetooth, and there's no battery to worry about. It was $60 when I bought it and I have no regrets.

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
