A lot people make money as professional gamers and tech reviewers. They are able to speak at length about different qualities of clicks and compare triggers and switches across platforms. that's fine when the controllers are all similar, but there is nothing like this anywhere. This is totally revolutionary.
I am playing a AAAA title, cyberpunk, on my phone on stadia and it runs better over wifi than it does on a PC. Not able to get a PS5 so this is the only way I can get the game, and the best way in my opinion.
My PIXL phone is now a high end ultra powerful console quality portable game device like a PS5 switch with an AMOLED screen! I couldn't care less about comparing the quality of the button clicks to PS, Xbox and nintendo. This rules and the buttons are great. quibbles with mushiness and clickiness are in the realm of stuff you won't notice at all.
Do you really want to clip your phone onto the top of a regular controller? No. That would be really distracting I think and looks totally clumsy. This thing attaches easily to the sides of an android phone with USBC and works without latency. My PXL + Kishi is a way better gaming device than my nintendo switch overall. It really doesn't matter about preferences for buttons. they are fine. and the reviews that talk about it not being "heavy" like a quality controller? the weight is the battery and this doesn't have one. None of the critical reviews make any difference in gameplay. This rocks. Buy it. I am a dad and don't have time to sit in front of the tv and play a PS5 game without my kids, but I can sit on the couch and game while they watch cartoons. This is the first time I've gotten to play good video games since they were born! Thank you Razer this is amazing.
***update**** ok I have had this for a while now and after comparing to my stadia controller and switch pro controllers, yes I can see that buttons are kind of bad by comparison. the switch pro and stadia controller feel effortless and give a tiny tactile click that serves as player feedback. response on the Kishi feels gummy, especially on the dpad. overall it feels like the buttons maybe use a rubber overlay, and not mechanical switches. I don't know I'm not going to open this. The shoulder triggers also have a sort of scrapey feeling whereas on a pro controller feels effortless and has a mechanical tactile response. I think for the price point, which is greater than both my other pro controllers, razer could have made better switches, especially considering that without a lithium battery the cost of materials here isn't that much. I think I am going to deduct a star here since yeah the buttons could be better at the price point. However, I think the form factor is totally revolutionary and so much better than clipping your phone above a controller. I still recommend this but it definitely should have either much better switches or be 25 dollars less.
**update 2*** I'm coming to appreciate the buttons a little more especially since the triggers are analog, which means they communicate how hard you press them. I restored back to 5 stars but I still don't see why this is 70 dollars, especially since it doesn't have a battery or a bluetooth module. however, there is virtually no competition in this form factor so still a must buy.

Razer Kishi Gamepad for Android
Honest Average Consumer Review for Razer Kishi Mobile Gamepad for Android USB-CThe Razer Kishi Gamepad for Android is a solid Gamepad that is easy to use. It conveniently converts your mobile phone into a handheld console, somewhat like the Nintendo Switch. It has 2 thumb sticks on each side, a directional pad, and the XYAB buttons. It also has two trigger buttons located on the top side of the controller.The buttons can be mapped, depending on the game being played. The configuration can be tailored to the user’s preference. I have used the Razer Kishi when playing Diablo and Mega Man X Dive on the Android platform. Using the controller is much better than using the phone’s touch screen. It feels more comfortable and frees up more screen real estate in the game. This makes the game play more enjoyable.The Gamepad connects directly to the phone using the USB-C connector. I did not experience any lag in gameplay. The buttons are responsive and makes for a smooth flow in the game.Overall, the Razer Kishi is a great device that lives up to my expectations. It has made gameplay more enjoyable. The compact form factor allows me to carry it without much problem. It does not require batteries that helps me save power for longer playtime. It also has USB-C connector out at the bottom that allow me to fast charge my device even without taking it off the Gamepad. It is convenient and fun to use.

Works really well, bandwire on the back is a bit flimsy, does not work with phones cases.

First thing I will say about this is that this is a wired controller. It does connect to your phone via type c (for my version). You either get the type c or lightning edition. It will not work for both. That being said, you connect this phone via plug. The down side of that is that you have a set position the phone has to be in. It also BARELY fit my note 20 plus. Be aware this also does not work with your case. It is built solely for caseless phones. It controller has a decent form factor and is pretty compact. The controller feels pretty light and is pretty responsive from what I can tell. It does not drain my phone battery too much during gaming which is great. The nice thing about having it plugged in is that it does not disconnect randomly like it could with bluetooth. It also does not require too much setup in order to use but be aware that some application may require you to map the controller. I tried it on emulators and it was pretty easy to setup and map. This controller is made of good material. The buttons do feel pretty responsive and the joy stick moves and snaps back pretty nicely. I did not feel any kind of drift from the joystick which is great. I am able to play most first person shooters with this and emulator games. The controller is comfortable to play with. One thing I did not like is the band in the middle when you open the controller to install your phone. I know It is to allow for bigger phones to fit on this. but the band wire looks like it will fray overtime. The edges are actually starting to show a little wear. It is durable but can be something that rips easily if caught on something. My note 20 plus just barely fits and takes a bit of force to get the controller to snap into place on the phone. It is a tight fit. It detects on my phone without issue. I did not have to worry about installing anything to make it work. You just need to map it on some applications. Overall this is a decent looking controller to have for android that is responsive and easy to setup. The only issues is that it is a pretty tight fit and the band on the back that holds the two pieces together is bit flimsy. I do like you can collapse it so you can easily take this on the go. The latch is pretty sturdy and I do not expect that to break. The triggers work well too. It holds the phone so long as it does not have a case on the phone.

Uso no xCloud e no GeForceNow, e você tem 0 de Latências, não da nem para acreditar que jogo um jogo via Streaming no Celular com um Controle top desse sem Latência alguma, recomendo bastante. Alguns jogos da Playstore ele funciona muito bem, mas jogos que não permite Controle, só usando um software por fora.
Obs: Se o seu Celular tiver película 3D ou mais grossa, isso pode atrapalhar um pouco o encaixe.
