Overview

Razer built the Kishi controller to turn a USB-C phone into a handheld console, clamping the phone between two full sized grips. It plugs straight into the port, runs games through the Razer Nexus launcher and doubles as a wired controller for a Windows PC.

Larger handles and magnetic style TMR sticks make long sessions feel closer to a console pad than a slim phone clip. Support is strictly tied to the devices Razer names, and wired PC play needs a cable you supply.

Who it's for

Players who stream PC games to a phone or run console style mobile titles get console sized grips and back paddles. Owners of older iPhones or unlisted Android phones should confirm support before ordering.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Full sized ergonomic handles
  • Anti-drift TMR thumbsticks
  • Two clicky back buttons
  • Passthrough charging during play
Cons
  • USB-C cable for PC sold separately
  • Limited to the listed devices
  • Weight and dimensions not listed

Performance notes

A direct USB-C connection carries input and audio without a wireless link, which is what holds latency low. TMR sensors read stick position magnetically instead of through wearing contacts, so drift is less likely as the sticks age. Passthrough charging lets the phone draw power while the controller occupies its only port.
