Unfortunately, due to the Razer Kishi V2, like its predecessor, connecting over USB Type-C, rather than Bluetooth, the out-of-the-box compatibility with games is middling.Ĭall of Duty mobile in particular, a game that supports controllers but only via Bluetooth felt like the perfect fit for the Kishi V2, but sadly did not while testing. Unlike the Razer Kishi V1, Razer’s latest iteration pairs best with its own unique app called the Razer Nexus, which in essence is a hub that highlights compatible games from the Google Playstore, along with whatever you may have already installed on your device that is compatible with the Razer Kishi V2.Īs someone who primarily uses mobile controllers for retro gaming, it was a nice surprise seeing Retroarch already listed through the Nexus app, along with ePSXe and a few other notable emulators. The dual analogue sticks, in particular, feel almost identical to stock OEM Nintendo Switch joy-con sticks, which aside from conjuring up flashbacks to joy-con drift, feel fantastic and of a higher quality than other mobile controllers on the market. Almost making the experience akin to what a modern take on something like the NeoGeo Pocket would be like, rather than the console-style controller Razer markets the device as. With brand-new microswitches for the buttons, the Kishi V2 imparts your hands with an overall premium feel. My favourite aspect of the Razer Kishi V2 is its feel. Along with clickable sticks, a dedicated share/stream button, an options button and finally, a return button that takes you back to the Razer Nexus companion app. “My favourite aspect of the Razer Kishi V2 is its feel.”Īdditional buttons grace the Razer Kishi V2, with an m1, and m2 button that rests next to the trigger and bumper buttons.

My LG Velvet fit without its case using both styles of rubber padding while with the case on, fit only after removing them, which I tended to prefer as it made it easier to jump into a game. On the band itself, two styles of removable rubber padding ensure a higher compatibility rate with larger phones, phones with cases and phones with camera bumps. Firstly, a better, more flexible band connects the two joy-con-style sides of the controller together. As the name may suggest, the V2 is a subtle but needed improvement on the Razer Kishi controller.
