Best Gaming Controller for Smartphones? | Razer Kishi V2 Pro Review

[@CullenKawano]

we need more controllers that you can use without having to remove your phone case.

[@jonathanthoj8962]

Does this work with the S23 [Ultra] phone?

[@Mustradamus]

Yes fits perfect, plus that's the phone he's using in the video lol

[@wongwwy]

How does it compares to v2? Is the only diff haptic feedback and head phone jack? I think v2 also have passthru charge. So I don't understand what's the big deal of the 50$ up charge. I think I got my v2 at even lower price when there is discount here and there...

Would love to see a latch & hinged break in the middle so you could fold it in half (controls facing out) for better/safer portability.

[@RustySeatbelt]

Given the popularity of the steam deck, the right stick seems better fit above the face buttons.

I love Razer accessories but this controller is overpriced. It should be $100 at the most. Also this is only good on candy bar phones and not so much on folding phones cause if the USB-C port. I currently got the RIG Nacon MG-X PRO and its pretty awesome as its like having an actual controller with you.

[@MrRunItUp]

I just wish they made a usb-c type Controller! It looks awesome (for comfortablity) I'm thinking about grabbing the backbone (android version) only because it has the USB-C connectivity, instead of Bluetooth. I also really like the looks of it as well, especially the white one.

[@antonioenrico]

2 questions: can i use the nexus app to get to xbox remote play? which is what my primary use would be. if yes, does it improve performance/connection if running through app or makes no difference?\ thanks

[@ShaneCopelin]

Do you know anything about it not being compatible with android 14? I just bought one for my S23 Ultra and it doesn't see the controller. When I contacted support they said they don't support Android 14.

Online bst working but offline install games many not work with controler u can offline games control with phone

[@raykupal]

.... but the graphics rendered is not because of the controller though....

[@NickBEADG]

Curious how battlefield will run on it with my s23 ultra, just ordered this tonight

[@JgHaverty]

I just returned a kishi V1... Has some egregious flaws that I havent seen mentioned in other videos. The lack of spine on the back is an unbelievable deal breaker for me; if you drop it or over time, you *will* damage either the usb port on the phone. Its such a bad thing, Im really confused why reviewers never mentioned it, or just glossed over it. It feels like youre going to break your phone in half while youre holding it, otherwise its extremely wobbly and not confidence inspiring lol. Another weird thing is there was some weird latency thing going on with the joy sticks, but that may have been a setting thing. Purchased a V2 today instead, hopefully works out a little better. Watching him hold it with one hand definitely means the wobble is gone at least; and thats kind of important. It also just looks better haha. This looks like a much better product overall. If it sucks, Ill return it and get an x2 pro I suppose lol.

[@tmakahavok]

how did it go with the Kishi v2?

[@JgHaverty]

@@tmakahavok returned that one too haha. Its almost close to being amazing; the joysticks are *atrocious*. Worse than joycons; as they are small and shorter even somehow.

[@JgHaverty]

@@tmakahavok wound up getting a gamesir x2 pro; i have no idea how people are even debating this. Its better in every possible way and is 20$ cheaper, it genuinely makes no sense. The joysticks are amazing, the buttons are large and feel good, the hall effect triggers are responsive and nice, it comes with a freaking case... also a weird one -> the kishi v2 doesnt support fast charging but the gamesir does. Its genuinely better in every single way, it even looks better imo. Setup with a large phone (note 20 ultra for me), it deadass looks like a switch oled lol

[@jorgeduenas6046]

​@@JgHavertyThe one you tried out was kishi v2 or v2 pro? It seems like maybe you tried out the basic v2 and not the pro but i could be wrong.

[@JgHaverty]

@jorgeduenas6046 i tried out the v2 pro at a best buy; has the similar issues overall.

[@ernest1428]

Hey, are you going to do a video about the new Lenovo Legion Go?

[@thumbtak123]

How does this work on the pixel fold?

[@Hakkurio]

Im sure its a great controller, but it needs to be since they just copy/paste the controller from Backbone. :) So the design and everything else was already done by another company all together, Razer only needed to put their logo on it and they were done with R&D, so i mean anyone can produce this if you only steal the design from your competitors. :) Maybe i am missing something and maybe Backbone was involved as a party to develop this together with Razer. (in that case, please disregard everything i have said here) if that is NOT the case however, then i Wonder if a lawsuit will come in the near future. Thank you for the Video GregglesTV, you did very well in reviewing this product and i agree, not many controllers can fare well against the tried and true Xbox controller in terms of usability and ergonomics.

[@Jaymielan]

Samsung bypass charging is not supported if you plug the controller

[@F.75zad]

Oh that's disappointing thanks for the heads up I was wondering if supports it

[@PhazonBlaxor]

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the information, saved myself 40 bucks not buying another charger brick. 👍
