Razer Kishi V2, Gamesir X3, Backbone GIVEAWAY & Comparison! Best Mobile Controller for iOS & Android

[@FeralInferno]

As soon as I heard, "feels a lot like an SNES D-Pad" I was ready to say the Backbone for the win, but no Android support is a dealbreaker. Gamesir for the win.

[@MrMis1osm]

I think there's an android version announced

[@FeralInferno]

@@MrMis1osm interesting. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for it. Thanks for the heads-up on that!

[@johnnyrivera7665]

I own a gamesir x2, the sound does get blocked off at the bottom firing speaker. Does the backbone have the same issue, on iPhone? If so Kishi v2 is a deal breaker for me.

[@jordanrock3494]

The kishi v2 fits/works amazingly with my s22. I think owning a switch lite makes it feel at home for me personally, but I could be wrong. It did retire my switch, though, between emulation and gamepass phones are an amazing gaming platform only rivaled by a PC imo.

[@RafaelCabusGantois]

For Android, Kishi V2 have one important feature for Xbox/Playstation remote games: Analog triggers. Gamersir X3 triggers aren't analog

[@CompleteGeekTV]

They are also the best feeling triggers out of the three in our opinion. Thank you for your comment and we appreciate you watching

[@tudorica1337]

Thanks for pointing that out. I want to get something so that i could play my PC games whilist streaming and my ps5 games aswell. Not having that would be total crap

[@juanluisohalloran1802]

I don't see anything in particular that would make me pay extra to upgrade (or downgrade) my Kishi v1 to Kishi v2. The new nexus app is clean and absolutely a nice launcher, but it's free and can be used with the V1, except for the mapping feature. I wouldn't mind upgrading to that Gamesirx3 tho...

[@NothingThe]

I have the razer kishi v1 but it doesn't fit my new phone. I love the v1. Going to get the gamesir x3 because I don't like what they did with the v2.

[@1ibur24]

I originally wanted the Razer Kishi v2 as I've enjoyed V1 and did not like the Gamesir v2. However after this Video I'm leaning towards a Gamesir v3. This was extremally helpful!

[@johnnyblaze3190]

I love my gamesir X3 but I still have to have a Xbox or PS4 or PS5 controller connected to u it for Android so I have to take X3 and one of the 3 with me whenever I want to play I wish they could fix that

[@gamesgeekmak889]

Having looked into this for some time now, GameSir seems to be best (relatively affordable) option. I’m ordering one now for my iPhone. Up until now I’ve been playing a number of games on my phone with touchscreen controls like WWE 2K22, Star Wars Squadrons, Dirt 5 and loving it (I even posted a few vids) but it’s time to give a good controller a go.

[@HSGG_]

Have you guys actually connected the controller to see how the buttons register or is this just a how it feels thing

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Sorry for that last response (which I deleted). I thought this comment was on our recent PS5 Dualsense comparison. But to answer your question. Yes! We have used all of these controllers and have videos on each of them separately showing how they work. In all of our testing they pretty much work the same way and do the same thing. So we felt that the best thing to show was the difference of how each one feels and how the buttons work. If you want to know more about each we have videos for each controller talking specifically about how they each function.

[@jtslev]

I wasn't looking at my screen when the guy on the left started talking and I legit thought Charlie Day from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" was cohosting this video. haha...

[@denrico777]

There are both mobile games, and remote play games that utilize analog triggers. It's a MUST for me.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Definitely understandable. It is hard to go back once you use them.

[@shaolin95]

Guys control your sound levels. Nothing makes me want to hit thumbs down faster than KZbinrs where the voice is low and suddenly music during intro or Broll is MUCH louder. Thanks for the video!

[@shaolin95]

@@CompleteGeekTV thanks for the channel

[@quisshmoov6313]

I was thinking about the gamesir but the triggers being a click instead of a analog is a no go because I stream actual games that uses console like triggers. So I'd go with the Kishi 2. I have the Kishi 1 and it's still good.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Yeah that is understandable. Another great option to consider that we haven't posted our review yet is the Gamevice Flex. It looks like the Kashi V1 but in our opinion everything feels better across the board. It's what we thought the V2 would be like. We still enjoy the V2 and it has its own advantages like the great mapping buttons but just wanted to let you know about the Gamevice Flex if you haven't heard of it.

[@1invag]

I believe the game sir x2 Pro version has analogue triggers with full travel

Was researching whether or not I wanted to get a Backbone controller since I already have a Kishi V1, and happened upon this video. I'm glad I did, I like yawls style, have a sub!

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Thanks we really appreciate it!

[@ghosttiee9212]

The backbone is good

[@TheSosios]

I like that you went in depth with the way the buttons feel and everything. I have an Android phone and a Gamesir X2 so I'd love the Razer Kishi V2 becausd of the analog triggers and the better D-Pad.

[@Cloud-strife83]

Does the Backbone one support Google 6 Pro phone?

[@urihasbeenb1xcked]

im gonna be using a controller for iphone, so whenever the controllers will be available for iphone, what would be the best pick overall?

[@ghosttiee9212]

For iPhone backbone all the way

[@CompleteGeekTV]

In our opinion, the Backbone is currently the best option. There will be iOS version of these others coming though and that is a much harder decision and really comes down to what's most important to you. With that said, all three of these are great so we think you'll be happy with either one.

[@joshv19800]

Are you guys still doing the backbone giveaway...

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Yes, and we apologize as it's long overdue. We wanted to allow subscribers to also be able to choose between the MOGA, Nacon, and Gamevice as well, so we wanted to get that out but had no idea that would take that long. We should have done our normal 2-4 week giveaway time, so we apologize. We are out filming at Super Nintendo World but will work on a date afterward. Sorry again for the long wait, and we appreciate your patience.

[@MJDross]

Just tried the new iPhone 15 Pro Max with the USB-C original Kishi v1 & the USB-C Kishi V2. The Kishi v1 doesn’t work at all. The Kishi v2 works but Razer software doesn’t see the controller. Razer said they will not enable it on their end. I ordered a backbone since they updated support for the new iPhone. Can you guys or anyone else test to see if the GameSir works with the new iPhone?

[@Extra-Salt]

also would like to know this. I was going to get the Backbone one Android Version for my iPhone 15 Pro Max since we are rocking USB-C now but the GameSir looks to tick a tonne of boxes. EDIT: I just watched a video posted yesterday from a bloke who tested the Gamesir (USB-C) X2, X2 Pro & X3, none of which were responsive to the iPhone 15. Only the Razer & Backbones passed.

[@kbobfresh]

Helpful review. I haven’t tried any of them, but the Backbone still seems like it would be my pick based on your experience. 👌

[@unloveableandre]

IMHO the backbone problem is the price. Razer has a brand and reputation, Gamesir gives you a lot in the package but the Backbone is just that, a backbone. $59 would be more realistic.

[@Adzo92]

went in to this video certain that I would go for the kishi v2 however the downgraded thumbsticks are big deal for me. I would prefer the game sir x3 at this stage, however not available in Australia yet. Great video, though!

[@patp.9355]

I had the gamesir x2 Type c and sold it to get the Razer kishi v1 because of the Button Layout. The passthrough charging doesent work anymore though. Both had pros and cons just like the new ones. But i dont like the downgraded Sticks on the kishi v2. I would definitley love to have the Gamesir x3 because of the sticks and better grip.

@@CompleteGeekTV Deal. I will test it and let you know

[@unloveableandre]

Oh, man, Nacon MG-X Pro... it's another level Weight, feel, buttons, sticks, all so well done... It's so much more comfortable. The phone attaches better - there is a lip so phone does not slides down or upwards. Bumper and triggers are smooth... and good. And the price is better. I honestly think $100 is too much for too little for both Barebone and Razer. The MG-X Pro is only $80 shipped from France! Maaan, the sticks are siiiiiiick.... Please, get one and review it...

Awesome video. Came here from the MOGA XP7-X Plus video. Definitely leaning towards the MOGA though. So many options!

[@madarasoun3018]

Gamesir X3 is 80$ and Kishi V2 is 110$ in my region. so with that price difference, which one would u recommend?

[@CompleteGeekTV]

If it was us I think we would lean towards the Gamesir X3. It's already a hard call between them but with that savings that makes it easier. There are factors to consider though and what might be more important to you.

I like 3 Controller (backbone one )

[@glentaker]

which joystick is better for button mashing? I'm disappointed at Kishi V2 due the button's click distance are so short you can't mash button with it.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

If you're ok with Bluetooth, we think MOGA xp7-x plus and Nacon mg-x pro are the best. If you don't want Bluetooth, we do think the Gamesir and Backbone are better than the V2 for button mashing. The Gamesir X3 buttons are lighter than the Backbone but we find them less so than the Kishi which will sometimes lead to accidental presses or missed button presses. I think if we had to pick a winner between those two for buttons, we are leaning towards the Backbone just because the Gamesir is still too light for our liking. We hope this helps

[@glentaker]

@@CompleteGeekTV thank you for the valuable feedback! Do you feel any difference between Bluetooth and direct connection?

[@CompleteGeekTV]

No problem and we're happy to help. We honestly we're very against the Bluetooth controllers until we tried them. That MOGA really changed our minds and we can't really tell any delay. We would like to test for test but in our own testing it feels the same. We don't want to push you one way or another but just want to explain our own experience.

The backbone is the best controller especially the dpad and buttons and triggers are really light and the joysticks are not bad to me but I have the PlayStation edition it does feel different because the texture is different

[@unloveableandre]

The X3 usb situation is very cumbersome. You guys mentioned but missed showing that, like, if you are charging and using the fan, you will have 2 cables dangling, just because they could not put a dedicated bottom to turn fan on and off. Also, worth mentioning, the fan is loud.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

We didn't find that fan that loud but the two cables are definitely cumbersome. It's unfortunate that it can't work with one. Even having to use one to begin with isn't exactly practical but it's at least an option if someone needs it

[@ropeburn6684]

Oh, the neverending problems of choice for mobile gamers. Telescopic controllers haptically aren't for everyone. Fine for some, but not for others. Some have stability problems (especially floppy ones like the Kishi V1), putting stress on your phone's usb socket. Gamepad shape controllers are, naturally, perfect for that proper gamepad experience we all know and love. Their problems are usually just cheap parts, and the higher priced ones feel and work perfectly. BUT Bluetooth latency! Some are "less worse" than others, but they're all inherently inferior to a direct USB connection, particularly noticeable and possibly deal-breaking for streetfighter type games. Some of them allow a wired USB connection to eliminate blutoof latency. But then you can't charge your phone anymore for longer playing sessions! Which in turn some telescopic controllers allow. But they don't feel and handle like proper gamepads, naturally. Oh, the endless vicious cycle, that prevents us from getting the ultimate, perfect phone controller for all occasions. There's always a weighted compromise neccessary. For finding it, reviews like this are important, so we gamers don't spend our money prematurely.

I would love th gamesir x3 without the fan

[@Deeyenen]

Check out the gamesir x2

[@azorganics1763]

I’m starting to get pissed the eff off with all these damn reviews!! The gamesir x2.. does the damn thing work with the 13pro max or not? I want to buy it but I’m leaning towards the ugly backbone because it works with it so whats up?

[@CompleteGeekTV]

At the time of this review, we only had the Type C android version so we weren't able to test and still can't try it. However, we have read that it iphone version will fit with 13 pro max. The only complaints we see is that the iPhone’s camera bump doesn’t allow for a flush fit. It will slightly stick out on the side of the camera bump. We read it's not enough to be problematic, but definitely unsightly and I feel like it’s not as secure. We read it doesn't fit well or at all with cases but may depend on the case. We hope this helps.

[@azorganics1763]

@@CompleteGeekTV thanks for your reply, I really appreciate that! I ended up going with the backbone one, hopefully it does good, I just liked the look and heard a lot of good things about the gamesir

[@CompleteGeekTV]

No problem and we're happy to help. We completely understand and understand the debate for choice. We think the Gamevice Flex is another solid device for both iOS and Android. We haven't finished filming our review buy another great option to consider. Thanks for watching and we would love to know what you think once you get yours.

[@franzbustamante6699]

Informative and great video ngl. Im confused what to get 😢 i play genshin impact a lot and codm (sometimes) but i dont know if razer kishi v1 or gamesir x3 😢 can u help me?

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Thank you and we appreciate you watching. We honestly want to recommend the Gamevice Flex. We haven't posted our review yet but we all might choose it over the other options there. Sorry to throw another one at you but we just wanted you to be aware as we love the device so far. It's like an upgraded Kishi V1. Price may also be a factor and there could be some solid sales right now. All are very solid devices though.

The best controller for mobile gaming is clearly the Nokia N-Gage, but I wouldn’t mind being entered to win the Backbone.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Hahahaa!!!! We should totally try and find an N-Gage to test out!!

[@johnnyblaze3190]

My biggest thing is the backbone the same way

[@lebavu8260]

Is it me or does everyone else iphone stadia gets pretty warm during gameplay? If so, then I think the gamesir with the fan is a winner for me too

[@badassgenevideos]

I prefer the gamesir x2 pro than x3. X2pro have analog triggers.

[@bstore2]

Hey guys big fan of this channel already, great content and coverage from different perspectives! I got the X3 off your recommendation but would love the Moga as a giveaway if I win. Can test both, keep the one I like, and give the other to my brother haha! Keep the content coming :)

[@CompleteGeekTV]

We greatly appreciate it and thank you for watching. Glad you're enjoying the X3 and happy to have you be a part of the giveaway.

I just saw the moga controller review, I want that one if I win the giveaway. Awesome vid

I like to be part of the giveaway, great video. I also miss the analog sticks on the Razer Kishi.

[@feeshifeeshi]

this video led me down a rabbithole of controllers i never knew existed. i settled on the X2 because it's on sale and seems to offer what i'm looking for in a phone controller. can't wait for it to show up so i can try games with Steam Link! an upgrade to the X3 would be nice though

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Glad we could help! I think you’ll be plenty happy with the X2 although the X3 is nice I still think the X2 is an awesome device and I personally would be more than happy using it even if it was the only one I had!

[@gambaownsus]

i am looking for one gamepad for my 5 years old son haha, first time he is playing donkey kong country returns on dolphin, his first time playing a nintendo game on android and he loves it.. he struggling with the on-screen gamepad haha, good job guys! i love your videos! i have a question, i have heard the quality build of the gamesir x2-x3 is cheap and some comments online have mentioned that it can break easily after moderate usage after a few weeks? any validity to that?? btw would like to be part of the giveaway :)!!

[@CompleteGeekTV]

We have not found that to be the case! We have probably used the the Gamesir x2 more than any of them since that was our favorite from the last generation of controllers and it feel studied and better built than both the backbone and Kishi in my opinion. Now with the new Gamesir X3 I would say it’s even better built! I’ll just say this. In our last comparison on the original Kishi, backbone, and Gamesir x2 we tried to get a shot of the controllers falling from the sky because we thought it would look cool. We set pillows up so they didn’t just hit the ground but they all bounced off and hit the ground anyway. When we did that the backbone broke, the Kishi was okay and the Gamesir looked like it had never been touched! So the short version is the Gamesir is not built cheaply, in fact I believe it the most durable and well built of the 3

[@leonwallace8646]

The Kishi would be perfect if it had usb data transfer for usb-c audio
