Not long ago, there were many smartphone games where you just had to tap the screen to progress, but nowadays, all games are on par with PC and console games. The advance of technology is frightening!
Although the operation has become more complicated, if the platform of the title is limited to smartphones, the interface is basically optimized for smartphones, making it easy to play with touch operation on a smartphone.
However, there are many cases where it is difficult to play PC or console games with touch operation, such as when the title is a port of a title released on PC or console games, or when playing PC or console games using cloud services, which have become popular in recent years, right?
In order to solve such problems, many companies have released convenient controller devices that can be attached to a smartphone and operated like a portable game console.
The "Razer Kishi" has been loved by many smartphone gamers since its Android and iPhone versions were released, and now, two years after its release, it is back with even more power!
The Android version, "Razer Kishi V2" is now available!
スマホがNintendo Switch風に変身！「Razer Kishi」発売！
Buttons and sticks have evolved! Built-in apps are also included!
The " Razer Kishi V2 " is the evolution of the already popular "Razer Kishi".
This time, it is an Android version with USB Type-C connectivity.
Like the existing "Razer Kishi," this device can be connected to a smartphone by inserting it horizontally, transforming it into a portable gaming device.
First of all, the controls, which are the most important for operation, have evolved.
The previous model had membrane buttons and directional keys, but the new model has state-of-the-art microswitch buttons, analog triggers, and programmable macros. The controls are now more similar to a console controller than ever before.
This is a very welcome evolution, especially when playing FPS and TPS on cloud services, where delicate controls are required.
Furthermore, the controller has a dedicated button for recording screenshots and videos, as well as programmable multi-function buttons, making it even more powerful and comfortable to play with.
Various manufacturers have released Android smartphones in a variety of shapes and sizes.
The Razer Kishi V2, however, has a stable telescoping bridge that fits a variety of smartphones perfectly, holding them securely in place even during heavy use.
This is not very common, but if you are using a uniquely shaped smartphone, you need to check it out!
One thing you may be concerned about when using an external controller is input latency.
The Razer Kishi V2 uses a USB Type-C connection to achieve low latency without any input delay.
The USB Type-C port on the smartphone is used for connection, but there is a USB Type-C port on the lower right side of the "Razer Kishi V2" that supports pass-through charging, so even if the battery runs low after playing for a long time, you can still charge the battery while playing. You can play while recharging even if the battery runs low after playing for a long time.
Some people may be concerned that attaching a device to a smartphone will make it larger and heavier than the smartphone itself, and that prolonged use may be tiring for the user.
The Razer Kishi V2 is designed for long hours of gameplay, so the buttons are positioned and the grip is comfortable for continued use.
It is also very portable, as it is compact and slim enough to fit in a pocket when removed and carried around.
The Razer Kishi V2 is compatible with the built-in Razer Nexus app.
With the press of a dedicated button, you can scroll through hundreds of supported games, record and share your gameplay, and more.
Not only does it improve convenience, but it also helps you improve by allowing you to look back on your play with screenshots, recordings, video sharing, and more!
An iPhone version is coming soon!
"Razer Kishi V2" can be purchased from the Razer Store for 14,580 yen (tax included).
There is no announcement yet regarding mass retailers in Japan, but there is a product page in Japanese and the official Razer Twitter (@RazerJP ) in Japan says it will be announced at a later date, so it is safe to assume that an announcement will be made soon!
Also, although we have only introduced the Android version, the product page states that an iPhone version will be available soon!
For those of you who are considering installing an external controller when playing games on your iPhone, look forward to more information in the future.
