Gaming comes in different forms, and for the Razer Kishi, the focus has always been on delivering the best experience on iOS and Android devices. The mobile gaming controller is far from a dedicated one-trick pony, however, packing a host of intuitive features that play into its all-rounder reputation.
Naturally, the Razer Kishi Ultra is no exception to the rule. The next-gen successor is now spruced up with some RGB lighting effects, sporting a full-sized form factor for both Android and iOS smartphones, as well as iPad Mini. More notably, it also doubles as a two-in-one controller for mobile and PC gaming, with the much-requested 3.5mm headphone jack added to the base.
Unlike some of its peers, the handheld won’t feature Hall Effect joysticks, but makes history as the first commercially available Razer product to feature the Sensa haptics. What this means is that users can expect haptic feedback on Android 12 or above and Windows (sorry iOS folks), alongside other new additions Virtual Controller Mode.
And while the upgrades look and sound fancy, performance is still key when the Razer Kishi Ultra demands a premium of S$239. Check out how it fares in the real world in the video above, which dives into design ergonomics, battery life, gameplay experience, and more.

Abandon Reason Know Only War! Zinho is a shooter fanatic still waiting for direct sequels to Black (2006) and Star Wars: Republic Commandos. He also truly believes that the Warhammer 40K universe can take on any franchise and destroy them. To think any different is heresy and punishable by Exterminatus.
