Beyond satisfied with this thing...
By Gregory on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2025
I cannot emphasize enough how little I write product reviews and this is by NO means an "incentive" situation. I'm just a dude that bought an expensive phone controller... ...and it is beautiful. 👌 Absolutely worth every penny. When I say this thing is the pinnacle of what a telescopic mobile controller should be, I reeeally mean it. I've never been much of a phone gamer before, but this thing has already changed that. I first tried the Backbone Pro when it released, but found the thumbsticks were just too small and the face buttons were so close to the right stick that it was very difficult to use. The Backbone app also locks many features behind a paywall for some reason... I also tried the recent cheaper Gamesir telescopic controller, because of how the face buttons were more offset from the stick. However, the stick was still in the way a bit and it was such a loose connection to my phone. Both USB-C parts were super loose and my phone just slides around in it even with the right pads applied. (Galaxy s25 Ultra) The Razer Kishi Ultra meets every requirement I had and more... Its the perfect fit for my large hands/short fingers, with a really nice texture on the back of the grips. The face buttons are perfectly offset and I have total freedom without the right stick getting in the way. The L4/R4 are gamechangers to me as this is the first time I've used them! It doesn't have any back buttons, but as someone that doesn't love back buttons, this was actually a selling point. The default position is very wide, so I don't have to open it far to set my phone in like the Backbone or Gamesir. There's multiple side pads included for device types (iPhone, iPad, Android devices), or you can just remove them if you have a phone case. I have a thin case on my s25 Ultra and I had to take the pads off, but it feels perfectly snug when its in place! Its kinda like the phone and controller become one unit. Its a bit heavy, but for whatever reason, holding it by the grips feels like there's no weight at all...? Hard to explain, but I just love that! The LED's are easy to customize through the app, setting brightness and truly any color you want. You can also turn it off entirely. The app is 100% free and its how you map buttons, launch games, set profiles, etc, etc. This app gives a "virtual controller" option that lets you manually place a "virtual" button over visible touch screen controls for games that don't have controller support. So when you set the button over the touch input, the button press on the controller will "touch" the controls for you. Just turn off the hud opacity to make the touch controls not visible and you've got a fullscreen game with controller support! And this app works so well with PS5 & Xbox remote play. It loads everything into one slick hub that feels like a modern console home menu. One more thing... So minor, but a huge deal for me! There are some smaller buttons on the middle sides. The right side has the "Options" button on top and the Razer Nexus home button on the bottom. The left side has a home menu button on top (acts as console home button in remote play), a screen capture/share button on bottom, and the lovely little "..." button in the middle. This extra "..." is my hero! I'm playing a game where the "Options" button doesn't input as "Options" and instead switches the game to mouse/keyboard mode. However, the "..." button just automatically works as "Options" in-game and no other controller I've tried has this extra feature. In PS5 remote play, I have it set as my touchpad controls. Clicking it is a touchpad click, then holding it while moving my right stick mimics touch controls in-game. Don't sleep on the "..." button!

Useless if you have a real case
By Joker on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2025
There is zero fit or function unless you use a slimline or thin case for the phone. I use Otterbox cases and this will not fit in the Kishi in any way with it on which is a shame because without the case on it’s actually a fantastic controller. There’s no good reason this shouldn’t with an Otterbox as they’re still one of the larger case companies and Razer should’ve designed this in a way that allows for properly cased phones to be used. 1 star as I cannot use this product.
