@@Reapergato Yup! Most common ones don’t have emulators ready yet for ios, but apple opened the floodgates a couple days ago, the delta emulator for gameboy, ds, and n64 just went up, and id expect many legacy console emulators to go up sooner rather than later

If it cant be modded for larger than 8 inch devices or has hall effect sticks, the Galileo g8 is still the current mobile controller king and only at 80$
I'm not sure if this was done on purpose because it's Razer, but not comparing this to the gamesir galileo g8 is almost insulting. The g8 is way cheaper, and has overall better features like hall effect sticks, a textured grip and even swappable sticks. Again I hope this was just an oversight on Kevin's side.
I love how people complain about the “Apple Tax”, for all metal premium build devices that use top end parts for all their components… and then Razer comes along and drops a chunk of plastic with a USB port for $150, and gamers be like “Im picking this up today, incredible!”. Bros this is a PowerA controller with a slider in the middle to hold a phone.
This is worth it if you use all the features i mean all the haptic the pc controller and mobile controller and programable buttons its a investment you get. Pc and mobile controller all in one
I feel like using this as a console controller then keeping your phone in there you can use it for chat or discord maybe? Seems like a useful way to multitask
I had this in hand. The fact that it doesn’t support iPad 11 is unacceptable. No excuse, it would have taken almost no effort to implement, as it was barely a few centimeters off. The controller is honestly better than most regular controllers so I’m kinda heart broken.
Do you all think it's worth the upgrade from the Razer Kishi V2 Pro 🐍 that came out 8 months ago? I honestly don't see the actual upgrade on this one..🤔
@bryanmiranda6674 I havnt bothered to noticed that lol I used wireless, but yeah I found a review that compared both and they said it's no different compared to gameplay buttons or anything like that, just the light ups, ability to use bigger devices, and handheld design difference. I guess it really isn't a successor, probably just another lineup for ipads/tablets. 🤷♂️ Also, I wouldn't imagine there would be anytime soon, since the V2 pro isn't even a year old yet . 👀
@@BryanCZ I don't know what happened to my earlier comment but it said that if you wan't a good controller with better ergonomics and features at a good price,check out the Galileo G8
What feature list? Its a piece of plastic with a USB controller chip inside. Wired controllers go for $30 all day long… and those should actually be more expensive than this since they include a long wire. This isn’t like some advanced controller with a lithium battery, an up to date Bluetooth chip, hall effect sticks, unique material grips, premium parts, extra inter changeable buttons, sticks, and dpad, lcd configuration screen, etc. Its just a hunk of plastic for $150. It looks like it has the same material quality of PDP or PowerA.
Hey Kevin can you test something with this controller for me, So what I really want to know is that if you can still use this as a wired PC controller while your phone is still plugged into the controller? My idea is essentially using cemu with my phone/tablet as a wireless display for my PC to have a setup similar to the Wii U gamepad.. This could be awesome for PC emulation for both Wii-U and 3DS and DS 🤯🤯 Right now I'm using a Bluetooth version of a controller like this and just have it hooked up to my PC through BT and have my Samsung tablet as my bottom screen, been playing through The legend of Zelda Majora's Mask 3D but with the 4k texture mod and project Restoration 🔥🔥🔥
and what is with the new controllers for phone coming out but they don't have a case. the last gen that was smaller got cases but this one that's bigger doesn't?
Damnit, we finally got a tablet premium controller but its still not enough to fit most tablet, I wanted one for my samsung a9 and posibly for ultra model.
Wake up, guys. We won't be fooled again. This thing costs about almost 2 times of the best mobile controllers in the market now. Without any hall based tech, at least didn't see any 'hall tech' info on the page. so why I should I pay two times of bucks for this? And I don't understand why we still need to turn on the virtual controller mode to play via ps remote play. -_-
I'm gonna echo here but $150 is WILD. I honestly liked almost everything about this controller (except the shoulder placement for the programmable buttons instead of backside) but without hall effect sticks why even bother? Also is it compatible with PS Remote app? I just got the G8 and it does work with the playstation app on my Note 20 ultra but not my Note 9 which is unfortunate. I believe the PS Play app will solve this problem on my Note 9 but I haven't purchased it or tested yet. If touch button mapping is the only method to use the PS remote app then it's kinda not really compatible imo...
I hate the asymetrical stick layout on all the telescoping controllers, having half my hand hanging off the bottom of the right side is not ideal. I like how steam deck did it, symetrical but towards the top.
$150 hell no , maybe those who play on the regular on their devices. I’d use it to emulate every once in a while but not enough to justify that price. Managed to pick up the back bone for $50 a few months back
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tech review that’s so very clearly biased because it’s a sponsored video or product provided by the brand. There’s no way in hell Kevin genuinely thinks $150 is okay given that a full dual sense or Xbox controller less than half the price.
Damn, I really thought I found a good controller that will attach to my ipad mini. Once he mentioned the price, instantly became uninterested in this product. If this ever goes on sale for $100 or less I will buy, but this is not worth mode than that.
$150 for a mobile controller that can still get drift. 😂 Another overpriced Razer device. And this guy thinks ots "kinda worth it" when the G8 exists. What a joke
Amazing how people poo-poo incredibly great products!! razer has been making premium products for many years, the kishi ultra/ipad mini combination is truly the god (lower case g) tier of portable gaming.
$150!? With no hall effect sticks? Absolute madness. Can pick up a dedicated handheld refurbished like the Logitech g cloud for not much more. Nice controller, awful price.
I'd rather buy the gamesir Galileo G8 which just cost $80 and it works better for Androids that controller is way overpriced especially for the single features that they're giving which the Galileo G8 does have
@@amirsadeghzadeh1952 G8 is garbage on iOS. Full app support will probably never come on iOS and it’s not black.

150 bucks for a controller that doesn't have hall effects? Razer might as well have put up a sign that says buy something else.
cod mobile native support ?
The Galileo G8 wouldn't fit my iphone 15 pro with it's case on it... That was a dealbreaker, so I returned it. Hopefully this one does.
Does it fit?
@@asthedaysgoneby Yes, even with my case on. Great accessory for gaming.

1:53 are the usb support samsung PD bypass ?
Can you actually remap them now? I bought that and the nexus app does not work on remapping the buttons on an iphone 15
Can you use this on your iPhone without plugging your iPhone into the device? Can you use it wirelessly or Bluetooth?
No...
So basically an overpriced Gamesir Galileo G8. Even the X2S is better than this when you factor in price and functionality.

Backbone killer? Wish for folding phones usb was on left side.
companies should really do this, would be a differentiating feature in allowing more phones to be better compatible
Man I know I have a fold 4 and a regular kishi but it fits weird.
You can try Gamesir x2s
Yeah I did it's just the app is so bad that I kind of just turns me off from the whole experiience
Vibrations work in the psplay app? the unofficial one for remote play from playstation.
I see you play street fighter.. how as re the Dpads? are inputs precise and clicky?
How do I find the remapping settings?
Can u make of video of what’s better Nintendo lite or 7 year old Nintendo switch
If this had 1 back button on each side id buy it with no hesitation…. Still considering it tho but ill keep looking
