This thing is just so darn neat, Works with almost every modern Android phone, Feels really nice in the hand

Abstract: Every smartphone can double as a powerful gaming device. There's just one problem: They don't have buttons. Well, not beyond the tiny nubs that line either side of their wafer-thin frame. If you're craving real buttons and triggers, you basically have two...
Excellent build quality, Fits basically every phone, Functionally compact
Noticeable wobble with smaller phones

Native Android games support is lacking If you have a niche phone brand, forget about it Plastic feel isn't the best for its price
Razer enters the mobile gaming peripheral market with the Kishi, a controller for your smartphone that has excellent potential if you have the games to take advantage of it...
Comfortable to use, Proper analog sticks, It has shoulder triggers instead of just buttons, Easy to use, USB-C passthrough charging, Can be attached to a wider variety of smartphones
Resistive face buttons with notable travel distance, D-pad doesn't feel as accurate as the Junglecat, Certain games have compatibility issues, Not as versatile as the Razer Junglecat
The Razer Kishi manages to address some of the shortcomings from the Razer Junglecat but it also brought some drawbacks of its own...
