Not without making the usb port super flimsy. A port that will see this much plugging and unplugging, needs to be as rock solid as possible.

[@ReneRosa]

Your timing on this was so perfect for me. I was just going through your videos on telescopic controllers for Android when you uploaded this and it definitely is what I'm going to get for my S20+

[@RandomizationShow]

Keep in mind it will not fit the S20 but! There is a modification I found on reddit where folks are removing the rubber interior, allowing for the most massive phones like yours to fit. Some users put sticky pads in there to hold it in place a bit better once theyre gone. I'll be doing this for my new OnePlus

[@ReneRosa]

@Thomas Crown so far it's great.

That is the review I was waiting for! I have Red Magic 3 and was really doubtfull to buy the controller. Now to wait for it to be sold again 🤭

[@R3DMSR]

Since most of us are on the cheap side, I feel it's more sensible to get an Xbox One controller and pair with bluetooth or even some cable, and attatching it with a clip. It would not be so cheap but it's composed of small pieces that can be replaced and the controller can be used in a console or pc.

[@Deathbatman]

I think this is better. It turned your phone into a portable console and it looks pretty good

[@unbreakableironman]

Like Prime mentioned in the video, you get input lag with bluetooth while this is almost non existent because you are technically "wired" to the device. And if you are streaming from a PC or such, you definitely don't want to add anymore lag.

[@R3DMSR]

[@ThisUploaded]

I got this less than 48 hours after ordering somehow (tracking number shows the label was only printed like 30 hours before it got to my doorstep, crazy) and man it's been a blast. I've used it extensively with Rainway, Moonlight, Xcloud Beta, GeForce Now, and even Stadia, along with a few gameboy advance emulators. And man this thing rocks. I do wish it wasn't so expensive, but the market for well built mobile focused controllers isn't exactly a competitive space. You have a bunch of cheaply built Bluetooth ones with deadzones in their joysticks, and the ones that don't have that have terrible layouts or are almost impossible to buy without importing. I'm definitely going to be keeping this thing with me for the foreseeable future. With kids the switch has been a life saver for being able to game on the couch while they play so that I can help at a moment's notice. With this controller and gamestreaming to my phone from my PC and other cloud streaming options I really can play almost anything without having to be at my desk. This controller really ties it all together nicely.

Mine arrived today and pretty happy with it. Fits a Poco F3 like a glove. Only minor gripe is d-pad isn't the best, especially for rapid accurate input (digital to analogue or similar settings works great in retroarch to use thumbstick instead of d-pad) I didn't realise the triggers were pressure sensitive (great for racing and gc games!)

[@jonduke19]

I love you for testing the essential phone. I've searched everywhere and no one has it. It's my emulation phone since it's EOL and I'm about to buy the controller.

[@PixelShade]

A perfect controller would be like this one, but with built in speakers and headphone jack through the USB-C connector. The reason being that a lot of phones will have their speakers and headphone jacks obstructed. This would ensure compatibility. If a controller like that was released I could definitely see myself having my phone as my primary portable gaming device. (mostly due to emulators) ;)

[@buddybleeyes]

Theres also an upside as some phones don't support being connected to multiple bluetooth devices. For people with bluetooth earphones, this is great that its using the usb c port :)

[@lessmasterdark]

I don't see why this would be an issue, as USB-C does support high bandwidth. Seems like a pair of bt headphones has to do for now.

[@buddybleeyes]

@@lessmasterdark I will give you that, but I'm coming from a note 8- so no point in me buying decent usb c earphones when I have a pair of bluetooth earphones I like :) especially when bluetooth was the way for a long time, and i kept damaging my headphone jack 😂

[@PixelShade]

​@@lessmasterdark it probably boils down to price. Including a DAC with headphone jack and speakers is just extra cost and assembly points. Especially if it would be designed with stereo speakers in mind. (one speaker would need to be routed to the next controller). But I mean, if a no-name brand did the same thing as razer, but with these improvements we would end up with a controller around the 40$ mark instead anyway. xD I mean there are other things that actually don't cost money, like the lack of a bluetooth controller, battery and rumble motors... It shouldn't be hard to hit a lower price.

[@lessmasterdark]

@@PixelShade Hah, kinda forgot a DAC would be necessary which would probably buff the price a bit. And it's razer.. They will forever be overpriced. At least they're on to something here because this seems like a really nice controller, especially if they got the shoulder buttons right. I will probably wait for other brands to release something like this for at least half the price.

[@thesilentobserver93]

I just got this controller yesterday, and so far it seems to work really really well with my Pixel 4a 5G. Especially great for PSP emulation. And I love that there's no noticeable input lag, and that I can still charge my phone with the controller connected. However, I have a real big gripe with it, and it's that I can't use wired headphones with it because it blocks the headphone jack of the phone. Not the end of the world, but it would have been nice to have some kind of headphone jack built into the controller. I guess I'll be on the lookout for some low latency bluetooth earbuds to get around this issue.

[@hasslevania8138]

ETA while you're on a controller kick, I would love it if you reviewed the pxn p30 controller. You would be the first big name reviewer to do so. It's strikingly similar to the saitake that you love so much. May even be running the same internals and firmware. I recently grabbed one, but wanted your take on it, mostly because mine randomly disconnects which is infuriating during most gaming sessions. If you do review it I would be floored, and the controller is $30 on Amazon. Nothing crazy but definy worth looking into, especially if like me you can never find the saitake in stock.

[@amightygrizzly]

Now this is a controller I would like to get one day. Updated firmware along with a USB C plug while being able to charge through pretty much sells is for me. Reminds me of the Duke controller except in mini size XD. But thank you for reviewing this. I would like to get it, but I'm gonna have to wait on a sale one day when it's at least $30 to $40. $80 is too high for this type of controller. But still, very cool.

The Junglecat also fits the Galaxy Note 8 since it's identical in size with the Note 9. I know this because I have it.

My ADD flares up bad with Bluetooth latency, I'll probably give this a look. Thanks, ETA!

[@Schyz]

I've been using it for a week and this is the best Android controller in the market. I used many Android controllers in the past, all Bluetooth controllers I've tried have much worse latency, and the only decent two I have, DualShock 4 and the Shield Controller are either not suitable as a handheld or uncomfortable to hold when attaching a phone. In terms of fitting, I've tried with a couple of my phones and it fits perfectly my OnePlus 7 Pro and my Xperia XZ2. The only issue I've found so far is that the Type-C port on the Kishi doesn't pass Quick Charge through to the Xperia phone, max power supplied is 5v / 1 Amp. I haven't tried the OnePlus charge as I'm afraid of damaging the Kishi. If you can find a cheap SnapDragon 945 phone on eBay, with a Rzer Kishi attached it becomes the best dedicated handheld money can buy, it can move any Dolphin game, including Wii's Xenoblade, and many Citra games are playable with the last beta, anything below like Yaba Sanshiro or Flycast runs flawless.

Great video as always. But question.! Would you rather use the Kishi or an Xbox or Playstation controller. For best effect and functionality.? I mean yeah the kishi will probably be a little more portable. But that seems to be all it has over regular controllers. So is it functionality on par or better. For its form factor and design. Or is the functionality of real controllers actually Superior to functionality of this mobile controller? Also I have the s21 ultra. Which they say doesn't fit without removing the inserts. Also you have to take off the case. So with that in mind even if the functionality is similar to a standard console controller. Do you think because I would have to remove the case every time I wanted to use it that I should just stick with a regular console controller? Your input would be extremely valuable thank you.!

[@jasonwu2758]

If you already have a console controller (ideally from xbox which are easier to setup and get going) pair it up or wired with a clip, like it and if needing more portability, ergonomics ect. consider investing in a Kish or other like controllers. glhf

FYI everyone folks on Reddit found that this controller has rubber sections where it holds the phone on the inside. They are removable! This allows for even the huge Galaxy s20 to fit, and many other phones without having to remove your case.

Wee 2 and wee 2T much superior

Thanks for the video, guess I'll wait for a cheap knock off to come out at the 30-40 usd range, 80 is way, way too much. Also, does it have L3/R3 buttons? (clickable joysticks).

[@Tony-qe3cj]

Yes, click able joysticks and if you do have the money I highly recommend it.

[@Choco_Baba]

@@Tony-qe3cj What is the point if I can't play pubg or cod

[@awesomeferret]

Would this work for 5.7 inch 16:9 phones (EG my LG v20)? That's an absolute must for me since it makes so much more sense to emulate on an older 16:9 phone (1440p LCD so no burn in, way more than fast enough for everything except Dolphin but still very cheap, effectively bigger screen than most phones due to the aspect ratio, etc).

Hi ETA Prime, I was wondering does the Razer Kishi Controller also work with the Coolpad Legacy phone. Thanks in advance.

[@JN20022]

I just picked one up, and when it comes I will be testing Poco X3 Pro, Galaxy A51, Galaxy A20s, and a few others to see how it performs

[@TyroneMCR0161]

I've been using a PS4 Controller for a few years now through USB C with Emulators but for Mobile Gaming this is the best option by far!

[@TheRollsen]

Hey ETA, i have a bluetooth controller that i would like to hear your opinion, it is the mocute 050, it is an older controlller, but from what i have seen it is great, and it even works on pc also i wanted to know if you could test Rainway, since it is a good streaming app that uses your PC as the server still, an awesome gamepad

[@truthtempest]

Great video. Can you plug headphones into it?

[@Muunchiez]

You have so many phones and not even a Oneplus! 2nd guessing the quality of this channel... Jus kidding. Picking up one soon

[@cyb]

Hey the usb c pass through just for charging or can you hook a usb c earphones in there as well

[@johnbuscher]

charging only, unfortunately.

[@KyleTO7]

It looks great! It really doesn't have a built in battery though eh? That would be very handy for charging your phone.

[@jinjonut68]

Could you please cover Fifa 20 via X Cloud with the Kishi controller? (Thank you!)

[@dungeonboient1963]

FYI if you wanna use any x input controller on pub g or call of duty all you need to do is connect an actual Xbox controller and any other xinput controller at the same time. This will unlock the controller only servers and input from both controllers work as if they were both official. Both controllers need to be on and connected but this opens up your choices on what you can use.

[@aznmode1]

Was curious if this would work if you had a thin TPU case on the note 10 plus.

[@davids245]

Nope. I have both the official leather and plastic ones from Samsung, and it's too snug in either, have to remove them to fit it in.

[@ChrisBurnes]

@@davids245 actually, you can remove the rubber from the inside of the controller. You can fit a phone with a case if you remove the rubber.

[@estmaru238]

This fits the note 10 plus?

[@optimusprime3484]

This looks interesting but I'm holding out to see what happens in the mobile gaming controller market once xbox officially releases xcloud. I think that will have an impact on the market.

[@xfreejack001x]

no impact.. only available in certain regions.

[@Dilemina]

This looks like it might not be good for thinner phones as they don't protect the phone with a backing or case. I like a more compact look like the gamesir x2, but the triggers not being analog. Any idea if there are more compact options for USB-c controllers that have analog triggers? I used to use the rog kunai 3 with my rog phone 3 but the phone died and I am thinking of getting a OnePlus 10 Pro.

[@cleverestx]

Is there anything like this w/ the side mounted controller, but that will fit the S20 Ultra Note 5g phone?

[@richsmith5132]

I believe it works with the note 20 ultra it works for s20 ultra

[@jwill7998]

I hope the build quality is good. I had two STK-7007 controllers with a busted R1 button.
