Fits iPhone 13 Pro Max with no issues; plug and play really made life easy. Steam link detected the controller immediately and no set up was required.
The controller itself is a little flimsy when opened but the overall build is nice. I am not sure I’d pay $100 for this. $60 or less is what I was willing to pay.

This thing is amazing! Well worth the purchase, basically makes your iPhone a Switch (I have a 12 Max Pro). There are plenty of iOS games that work seamlessly with it and if you remote play with your Xbox or PS it works flawlessly with that too. If you’re in the market for a controller for your phone, what are you waiting for?? Buy this thing ASAP lol.

The Kishi is cool in concept, not very cool in practice. I have used mine with a variety of android phones, I know it says I purchased the controller for ios, I very much did not, mine is the usbc version for android. Every phone is the wrong size. too thick with a case, too thin without. the whole thing flexes constantly making me think I am about to snap the usbc off. The buttons are fine, a small step down from an xbox controller while being less comfortable as it is just a flat panel with no ergonomics at all. The joy sticks are fine, they don't drift on mine at all, though they are large enough to make it less comfortable to carry, you basically need to stick it in a backback, and at that point, just get an xbox controller, it's cheaper and works better.

Best of the Category Before Mobile HUDs take over

This is a very good bridge from ps vita owners and Nintendo switch users. Ever since I purchased this device, I have stopped using both consoles. Asphalt 9, Virtua Tennis, and Cod work flawlessly. By the way, if u are serious about Cod Mobile the screen Huds are more intuitive and smoother, but this outperforms a PS4 controller and Xbox controllers (no latency). The games are very few in between, but the buttons and the dual pads do the job. This is more of a $50 device. Razer is currently the standard for this category (I use predominantly for asphalt 9), but I have jumped to a mobile phone trigger combined with screen click HUD for cod mobile.

This is the best for gaming on the phone. I’m so used to controller that when I snapped this on, it felt so comfortable and natural. Having the ability to bring it with you anywhere is convenient.

An absolute steal for a mobile gaming controller

The Razer Kishi is a steal in comparison to its more popular counterpart. For on the go gaming or using Remote Play (PlayStation) or xCloud (Xbox), it is a solid alternative to the more expensive Backbone. The d-pad leaves a little to be desired as it feels a bit flimsy but the face buttons are very responsive. The triggers offer a satisfying click when using them in compatible games. At the time of this review, the Razer Kishi is on clearance for $50.99, $49 off of its regular retail price of $99.99, the same price as the Backbone.

This little thing has allowed me to enjoy my breaks at work without having to lug around my switch. I bought it cause I was looking at other handheld controllers to use with my phone and since picking this item up I ended up getting another. I keep one at work in my locker for lunches and breaks and the other I take with me when I got to visit family and friends. Works really well and is easy to set up and takes seconds to get into a game with little to no latency on control. The app It asks you to download is to update the controller and nothing more which usually with razer is needed to even run the thing or utilize a lot of the features.

Great Controller, Bad Ergonomics

Makes gaming accessible anywhere, easily
Only issue is the ergonomics which for my personally can cause discomfort after a period of time gaming.
The V2 may have fixed this issue, other wise I love it. And another issue is there’s no button to take a screen shot.

This is a decent controller! It works well for iPhone, and works seamlessly for Genshin (that’s the only game I play on mobile, haha). I do have two issues: 1. The triggers dont feel great, and 2. this feels specifically designed for iPhones without a case, so I have to take my case off whenever I use this since it won’t fit my phone with its case on. That’s all!

This controller not only works with Xbox Cloud Gaming but also with IOS games and Apple Arcade Games! Get one and you wont be disappointed! The only issue is, I have to take my phone out of its case to use. Other than that, no complaints!!

Bought primarily for streaming from the Steam Link app on iOS. Feels great in the hands and fits snug on an iPhone X with the smaller inserts. Buttons are a little mushy feeling but have to take one star off for the pretty mediocre-awful thumb sticks. Very hard to do fine aiming in shooters because of the larger deadzone than an Xbox One controller but maybe something I’ll get used to. Home button doesn’t seem to do anything and menu button wants to take a screenshot when held down which is stupid but maybe iOS fault. Also annoying is that the A button is Red and B button is green. Why Razer? Why?

A compact controller that does the job. For anyone seriously considering a portable controller, this one is the smallest. Good interface, no real lag time and a decent feel. Takes a little practice to open up and attach but has a good fit once attached.
Controls are a little noisy, but not a deal-breaker. There is no earphone jack for those that prefer to plug in.

I love this thing. It allows me to remote play from my PS5 or PC to my iPhone nearly instantly. It's so easy to use and feels well enough in the hand. Prior to this I tried all sorts of solutions for couch gaming, while Net-flixing with the wife. Streaming to surface pro, setting up portable monitor with HDMI connected to streaming PC, Xbox controller to iPhone via BT with little phone holder - all of them were a huge PITA comparted to this controller. If your wife wants you within eye-sight while gaming and not hiding in mancave - this controller is your answer.

This thing is really cool! I got it for my Iphone to play xcloud and it is a seamless connection! I didnt know it wont work for kotor 2, but it works for every other iphone game and xcloud and if you have an xbox, remote play from a different area or even state works wonders! I love how compact this thing is, how sturdy, yes it fits my iphone 12 pro max with no issues and it feels very well made! Xcloud is a little buggy for me so I play remote play a little bit more but, all in all a worthy purchase!
