i'll be the first to admit that this is not
the kind of product that i would typically
be interested in but my first experience
with the razer kishi adorable name by the way
was when i was doing a sponsored video for a company called
rainway and rainway makes a software that's kind of like
um a consolidation of all the different game launchers on your computer so you
just have one place to kind of click on the game and play it so this is
a controller that is supposed to be a universally compatible usbc
controller doodad for your Android phone
so this only handles charging there's a type-c port on the bottom that is
charging only get that sticker off of it let's talk
buttons first they're fine the d-pad is nothing
special the analog sticks feel really good and the abxy
i would give like a b they don't really
have any tactile feedback they're kind of mushy but they're consistent and there's
nothing that jumps out to me as like an obvious quality issue as for the
triggers i mean i think you can hear everything that i would have to say about those
not amazing no click in the shoulder and
not the best trigger i've ever felt but compared to
any other one of these things that i've tried before it feels really good so i
guess it's not about how good the product is it's about how good the competitors are
let's go ahead and grab the phone that i daily drive it's my note 9
i'm back on it again i just i can't get away from this phone
i love it so you've got these kind of clips in here
you've got kind of like a pad material right here a type c connector on the
inside here and then on the other side you've got like kind of this uh it's neat it's kind
of like a ribbed rubber right here that's intended to
hold the phone in place and then presumably not scratch the glass
although we'll find that out soon enough so i didn't follow the instructions or i
didn't read them rather so i'm just going to guess that you kind of
plonk it onto the usb type c like that and then
see there's kind of like some stretchability to it and then you kind
of plunk it on like that now of course this
is a phone sample size of one this is the note 9 and i don't
think that razer designed this thing for me specifically or for this phone
specifically but dang does it ever go with it perfectly
look how little wobble there is in that like that fits
there's a little bit more this way but that's not how i would
i would naturally put pressure on the device when i'm using it i would
typically kind of hold it kind of like like that
like kind of from the from the bottom and i found that it fit
extremely well Android has native support for
controllers like this you can see i'm immediately controlling my home screen
at a 90 degree angle because that's you know brilliant obviously one thing
that's kind of a drag is that if you have a rear mounted touch
sensor obviously you can't use it with this
thing in the way and same goes for your rear camera um i mean i guess most of the time when
you're gaming you don't really need your rear camera and your phone would be unlocked but it's just
something that i found kind of obnoxious just because it's so hard to get at
actually wait i'm gonna navigate over to utilities here
and tell you about our sponsor displayed display makes metal prints they've got
over 800 000 unique designs that you can put on your walls and their magnetic mounting
system decreases the risk of damaging your walls we've even got some of our own
designs on the platform now and you can use code circuit to save
15 at the link in the video description all
right let's uh go back to rainway let's uh
you know what overcook two overcooked is a good test game for me just because
it's one of the few controller games that i've actually invested enough time in to be any good at okay this is a
small screen for this game uh i cannot find the fire extinguisher
uh hello hello where's the fire
extinguisher wait there is no fire extinguisher this is before they introduced the fire
extinguisher mechanic oh shoot last time okay i
swear to you i'm actually like decent at this game i just can't see anything
where did this cucumber go oh i threw it by accident
okay just don't include any of this editor okay how'd i do
hey i got a star whoa uh
you know what no it's there tomb raider
turmeric it's classic there's tombs they're raided okay they've got
redundancy
yes got em i kind of wish my
uh my workstation was a little bit more
performancy right about now and wi-fi is so
not good enough still spike trap press a
to jump ah oh wow that's that's really gruesome hey
wow all right enough of that so far nothing about actually playing games on
this thing has changed what i had to say about it for
one of these things it's solid like feels well built
quality of the controller is really good
it's still a controller strapped to a phone but like it's not the kind of
thing that i could see myself typically using i did well okay in fairness though a
number of years back i did play the entire first installment in the tomb raider reboot series on my
NVIDIA shield which fundamentally was not that different
from this to be clear i'm talking about the shield portable the like game console one not the tablet
what's that racing series that everyone plays on mobile
asphalt i get it i get it you make your
epic you know snazzy thing or whatever
what no i don't i don't want a tutorial
i know how to play video games quit race how about that what do you
think of that congratulations you received these cards
well done driver you didn't skip like it's not even that much time
that was less than a minute but it felt like 10 because it's so
unnecessary holy crap is this the same
whatever i don't even care i'm not even i'm not even gonna do it but that's fine
the kishi pretty cool device uh you can check it
out at the link in the video description just oh man so angry thanks for watching
