Very happy with my purchase.
As someone who has a Logitech G Cloud and a Lenovo Go Handheld, this controller is awesome. I’m honestly thinking of getting rid of both my Logitech G Cloud and Lenovo Go in place of this. This is perfect. The Logitech G Cloud is comfortable, but the screen is low resolution compared to my phone and the remote gaming isn’t very good. The Lenovo Go is heavy and doesn’t play all the games that I like by itself.Granted I’ve only been able to play with it for a few hours as I just got it. I am more than impressed with this. Add on that it doesn’t have a subscription model like the Backbone.This is exactly what I have been looking for, for the last year and a half.

Great controller that has a hefty price tag.
Great controller for mobile devices. Currently using this for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and it fits perfectly, so long as you don’t mind that the plug is on the side that makes the screen extend more from the bottom vs the top, making the overall feel a little awkward. This “issue” is more about how the phone/tablet is designed as opposed to the Kishi, so can’t fault Razer for that.Functionality of the Kishi is great, if the game supports controllers, I’ve had no issues using this and it’s been comfortable for longer gaming sessions. Being able to blaze through Dead Cells with this makes it so much better. Lighting on this is nice looking but not really necessary, but if that’s your thing, then this does look “gamer”.

Best Phone Controller
This is not only the best phone controller I’ve used, but the best gaming accessory I’ve bought in a while, period. Fits my hands so much comfortably than the Backbone One or the Razer Kishi V2, and integrates well with my phone (S24 Ultra). I am using a pretty slim case (Spigen Liquid Crystal) that fits perfectly with the bumpers removed.Some reviews say the buttons are too loud and clicky, but I don’t really notice it in a busy house with kids and dogs.I cannot express how much I like this controller. It is a bit pricey, but I would totally buy it again.

Purchased Razer Kishi Ultra and Backbone
I was conflicted with purchasing the Backbone vs the Razer Kishi Ultra so I ended up keeping both and here’s why.Background:I have medium/small hands with a claw grip so when I end up extending my fingers beyond the resting range, depending if the controller is too large or too small, there will be some strain on my hands from extended gaming sessions.Grip:Using the Backbone felt pretty comfortable for my use and sized hands because of how smaller the controller is versus a normal sized controller. If I had to compare it to a controller, I’d say its comparable to a Nintendo switch controller. However, the Backbone buttons/layout are a bit more spaced out than the Switch controllers so it feels a bit more natural to hold. As for the Kishi, it is a bit more bulky and double the size of the backbone since it feels similar to holding a slightly thicker Xbox controller. Initially when holding the Kishi, I felt strain on my hands when using with my iPhone 15 pro max. But after trying the Kishi with my ipad mini 6, I got used to the grip after a few minutes and was able to play Zenless Zone Zero (action game) for 3 hours nonstop. I’d say it was very comfortable to hold when sitting, laying down, or resting your arms on a desk. So if you have medium to large hands, the kishi definitely feels a lot comfortable to hold once you get used to it and takes the cake over the Backbone.Portability:The Backbone is very compact/mobile for travel and I can easily fit it my pocket with or without my slim case. So if I needed to game for a few moments on the road, I can easily pull it out of my pocket and connect to my iPhone 15 pro max fairly easily. As for the Kishi, since it is a bit bulky you might need to have a small bag or carrying case to lug this around as it is much wider and thicker. So if you are a serious mobile gamer and travel, just be prepared to carry this around in a backpack as it it’ll be difficult to simply toss into your pockets.Compatibility with casesThe Backbone had updated their design from the previous version of the Backbone (1st gen) to accommodate phone cases. The latest Backbone attachments were able to hold my iphone 15 pro max with a case, so again portability and convenience was a nice factor here. Unfortunately with the Kishi, I wasn’t able to fit my iPhone 15 pro max while using the slim case nor was I able to fit my iPad mini 6 also with a slim case. I had to remove both cases in both instances to successfully align the usb-C on the Kishi controller with the devices’ ports. There is almost no room for my cases to fit without bending the controller’s usb c as I think the Kishi was designed to eliminate any leverage movement between controller and device which is totally understandable. They do provide three different fitting attachments (phone, ipad, android) with the Kishi but I might need to modify one of them to continue to keep my device’s case on without having to constantly remove it.Gaming/ConnectivityBoth controllers excel very well with responsiveness and timing for mobile/streaming/gaming type of activities. Both are very good when remote play via PS5 or Steam Link when on the same network. I didn’t counter any latency or lag issues with either controller which is a plus.Bottom lineI decided to keep both the Kishi and Backbone as they will serve different purposes. The Backbone will now be purely used for my traveling purposes as I like to travel light and can use the Backbone to attach to my phone without having to remove the case and can easily store away. I plan on keeping the Kishi for my home use (remote play via PS5/Steam, mobile gaming within home) as the grip feels a lot more comfortable for long hours and I prefer the spacing of the controls a lot more over the Backbone. Ultimately, I end up using the Kishi more than the Backbone whenever I’m at home.I’d give the Kishi a 4.5/5 (Amazon doesn’t have in between star ratings) since the only con I see is having to remove the cases to attach the Kishi to my devices. But rest assured that this is a very solid controller to have and definitely worth picking up if you plan on going on long trips, gaming conventions, or laying in bed to continue to playing via endless hours.I for sure recommend picking up the Razer Kishi Ultra.

Best PC/Phone controller I’ve used to this day.
I probably won’t use this controller to play the majority of games over a phone due to my realizing that phone screen sizes are too small for my liking when ot comes to most games… However I’d like to emphasize that this controller is the absolute best when it comes to playing controller games such as Mortal Kombat. Pulling off quarter circle moves using this controller is a dream. This is the one reason I kept this controller versus returning it. This controller takes some adapting to you if you plan to use it for first person shooters such as fortnite or pubg. I come from a PC keyboard mouse background but for those that come from a console Playstation/Xbox background you may appreciate this controller with regard to first person shooters. I definitely recommend it if you see value in what I said above versus the cost.

The best, unfortunately
It should come as no surprise that Razer makes the bet controller that also fits an iPad mini. Iâve tried 4. If Gamesir made their G8 big enough for an iPad mini natively, without any additional modding, it would be my preferred method. Iâm not a big fan of the bonus L/R buttons placement. They need to be on the back where your fingers naturally fall. Adding another button to the shoulder doesnât make it any easier to hit it. If you place it where an unused finger sits, to make use of said finger, it might serve a(n) explitive purpose, but crowding already busy trigger fingers is just piss-poor design. Trying to be clever never works when youâre trying to fix a problem someone else already fixed. Youâre already an idiot for trying.

I was on the fence about buying a backbone within the next couple weeks but, this dropped out of nowhere. I canât begin to tell you how amazing this device is. Itâs big, itâs got a nice rubber grip like the Xbox elite controllers, haptics (not on iOS YET). The backbone is good for getting the foot in the door playing around but, it was missing quality of features that I would like when Iâm not at a desk or at a tv for extended periods. Like I said this thing is MASSIVE as in the photo and if you have big hands like myself this is perfect cause the backbone isnât for you. The buttons on the controller click almost like a keyboard if that has any meaning. Games wise I played pretty much any gamepass game thatâs cloud, helldivers works great with the steam link thing and yes the delta iOS emulator works like a charm with this. Iâm also thinking about buying the new iPad mini and using it with this down the road. Razer really knocked it outta the park with this one. I know the price is a little much but, the features and quality of life updates that the other mobile phone controllers DONT have make this stand out. 9.5/10 *NOTE Iâm using an IPhone 15 Pro Max with a dbrand ghost case* This thing is pretty much case friendly unless you got a brick protecting your phone lol

Reseña iPhone 15 Pro Max.Lo compré para poder jugar por toda la casa peroâ¦.El mando en general es bueno, muy bueno, pero no ofrece absolutamente nada, no es una opción para gamers de consola. Es en definitiva un producto para jugadores casuales de juegos para celular.Para jugar PS5 requieres tener una conexión de internet muy buena, y tener la consola encendida para jugar de manera remota, puedes hacer lo mismo con un iPad y el mismo mando del PS5, sin necesidad de este artÃculo, asà que hacerlo con mi celular es ridÃculo.Para los juegos de mi Xbox Series X, es necesario pagar el game pass Ultimate para usar el Cloud y jugar, necesito pagar la membresÃa incluso para jugar los juegos que ya poseo, ridÃculo también. Cumpliendo el mismo punto de tener una excelente conexión a internet, nuevamente puedes hacer lo mismo con un iPad, un Mac, una laptop sin ser gamer o incluso tu TV si el software es base Google como las TCL y usar tanto el mando del Xbox como el del Play.Asà que el artÃculo que compré para jugar con mi celular mis juegos de consola pero de manera portátil, no sirvió absolutamente para nada porque o requiero pagar servicios extra o simplemente lo puedo hacer con lo que ya tengo e incluso mejor porque las pantallas son más grandes.Doy 5 estrellas porque el producto es muy bueno, pero simplemente no es opción para jugadores de consola ya que mantener mi consola encendida o pagar un servicio extra, aparte de un mando para celular no es lógico. Es un producto para jugadores de celular, los cuales podrÃan tener una experiencia muy distinta a la mÃa.

This device has made playing games on my phone absolutely enjoyable!The build quality is very solid and it feels like you’re holding a regular controller. It’s nicely balanced so fits perfectly into your hands. No more hand cramps!Highly recommend!

Itâs a good controller. I really had to sit there and think about how I spent a quarter thousand CAD on a controller though. Itâs pretty absurdI donât know of any better options, though. and Iâm a âbuy nice or buy twiceâ kinda guy, soâ¦Iâd buy another one for the car if the price wasnât so stupid lol

Razer operates in a world where it thinks there is no competition to their products.It couldn’t be further more from the truth, there are plenty.It’s not that it’s a bad controller, it’s actually decent but it is not twice as good as the Galileo G8, not even close. One could argue it’s 50% better than the Backbone One but that one is overpriced too.I’d say buy this specifically if you have blind appreciation for the brand but if you don’t get a Galileo G8 if you want plugged in operation, it’s better for less. Or, a Moga XP7-X Plus if you want bluetooth capabilities (and wireless charging as a bonus).P.S. Screenshot is what it looks like using a Samsung Fold phone.
