razor kishi might just be the best controller solution for Project X cloud
on mobile so late last year razer came out with the jungle cat obviously I did
an unboxing with this and I found since then that this is kind of the best
solution that I found using with Project X cloud
obviously after the update to enable third-party controller support but one
of the downsides is to get the full experience you have to have a phone
that's compatible with three of the cases that they have but here at CES
2020 Razer is introducing the kishi and this is a little bit more of a universal
solution that can work with not only more Android phones but also iOS as well
so if the design looks familiar they are partnering with game vice so it does
have some of the the same functionality here but you get the nice snazzy Razer
logo so you to expand it you just pull it apart and as you can tell with these
kind of expanding mechanisms here the idea is to be able to support almost
every smartphone that you can find with USBC on the Android side and for iOS
obviously the Lightning port so I have a couple phones here that I'm going to
test it out with first is my Huawei P 30 Pro fits in there nice and snug now I
expand it there you go it's got a pretty good grip on it
doesn't feel like it's gonna fall off now let's try a smaller phone this is
the pixel 3 this one's a little more looser just cuz it doesn't have the
constraint of the the tall device but once it slotted in it's still pretty
snug
and the last one here is the pixel 4XL a little bit wider and there you go
so like I said one of the best use cases that I found with these
controllers on smartphones has been with Project X cloud after the update late
last year they enabled third-party controllers and the jungle cat has so
far has been the one that I've used most with Project X cloud but the kishi is
obviously a little bigger therefore a little more ergonomic in my hand does it
feel the same as the jungle cat otherwise well it's definitely larger
than the jungle cat I'm gonna detach one of the jungle cat controllers right here
and put it up next to it so obviously it's bigger than the jungle cat so it
takes up a little bit more bulk if you're gonna throw this in a backpack
but you get the added benefit of a little bit more comfort one of the
benefits of going with the kishi over the game vice is that razor is talking
with third parties not only in cloud streaming but they also have the gamepad
app that enables the direct mapping all the functionality that you get from the
jungle cat it would be the same here in the kishi and now for the first time
it'll be available on iOS which is a great thing especially for the Apple
users out there in terms of pricing and release Razer is telling me that
there'll be two versions one for Android obviously and one for iOS depending on
the configuration you want it'll be in the ballpark of the jungle cat which
came out at a hundred US dollars so availability for both they're talking
mid February so I'm excited to get one in and try it alongside the jungle cat
and the raiju mobile to see kind of which one is fits best in my play style
stay tuned for more videos from CES 2020 we'll see you later
