Razer just released the Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, a successor to the popular Kishi V2 Pro. Its filled with improvements, including a larger form factor to accommodate beefier mobile devices like 8-inch tablets and even some foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 5. The controller also offers USB-C compatibility, so it should work with just about any device out there, as long as it fits. Remember, even modern Apple products now include USB-C ports.
Razer says the controller has been designed to provide an authentic console experience on the iPhone 15 series, iPad Mini, and Android tablets with 8-inch displays. To that end, it features the companys proprietary Sensa HD haptics technology, which includes a haptic coil near each hand to increase immersion. The company says this experience will actually surpass what's found with traditional console controllers. The newly-released Interhaptics SDK will even allow developers to craft bespoke haptic experiences.
This immersion is further improved by integration with Razers Chroma RGB lighting system. This allows for customizable lighting schemes, which lets players bring a piece of their gamer room setup with them. Beyond the lighting and haptics, the controller boasts the companys proprietary Mecha-Tactile ABXY buttons and 8-way D-pad. There are console-sized hall effect triggers, programmable L4/R4 multifunction buttons and full-sized thumb sticks, complete with anti-friction rings. The expanded form factor also means it should work with most devices without having to remove the case.

The controller can access Razers subscription-free Nexus app, which pulls up custom button-mapping for thousands of compatible games across iOS and Android.. This means that itll be a plug and play experience for the vast majority of available content, without having to fiddle with control settings. Additionally, the Nexus app lets users record and share gameplay.
The Razer Kishi Ultra is available right now and costs $150. The controller is joined by an updated version of the Kishi V2, which now connects via USB-C. That one costs $100.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/razers-kishi-ultra-gaming-controller-works-with-damn-near-everything-including-some-foldables-173017166.html?src=rss
