Elite mobile gamepad from Razer
The gamepad market is reminiscent of a quiet English village where nothing global is happening, and the locals have known each other for a thousand years. Here's a DualShock, here's an Xbox gamepad, here are thousands of Chinese clones, that's about it. However, with the advent of gaming smartphones and mobile gamepads, the market has revived, periodically offering customers new forms. For example, sliding platform gamepads in the spirit of Nintendo Switch. It is to the latter type that the hero of this review Razer Kishi belongs.
Gamepad sandwich
Like the Nintendo Joy-Con, the Razer Kishi gamepad consists of two halves with controls. The halves are connected using a sliding groove, inside which the smartphone is installed. According to official data, the sliding panel is enough for a conditional Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus or Google Pixel 4XL. The main thing is that the height of the smartphone does not exceed 164 mm. In terms of the location of the buttons, everything is without surprises: on the left there is a standard cross, on the right there are 4 main control buttons, plus a standard stick is located on each half, as well as a side bumper and a trigger. The sticks are arranged asymmetrically, like on the Xbox gamepads. In general, everything is standard here, so let's move on to the most interesting.
Support for gaming cloud services a la GeForce Now
Given the considerable cost of Kishi, as well as the name of the developer, we initially prepared ourselves for pleasant surprises. And they didn't fail. Firstly, the gamepad is well-built, it is comfortable and responsive, with perfectly working keys, smooth sticks and comfortable trigger bumpers. Secondly, to connect to a smartphone, a USB-C pass-through adapter is used here, thanks to which delays and input lags tend to zero. Thirdly, it is friendly with many cloud gaming services like GeForce Now, Google Stadia and Microsoft Project xCloud, which greatly expands the use cases.
