    Thanks for the tip about taking the rubber bumpers out. I've owned this for 4 months and never knew you could do that! To confirm I am using a Samsung note 10 plus 5g with the slim case from Samsung and works like a charm. Nothing bigger than that though would work.

      I personally have a Note 10 Plus non 5G with an Otterbox Defender case onboard and thus a controller like this won't literally fit this HUGE thing lol.

    The controller has no dead zone at all. It's just software setting and you can change it to your liking. And the bumper button register even slightest press. It actually measures how deep you press it. Idk what it's good for and feels bit weird, but it's good piece of hardware. Doesn't feel as comfortable to use as console ones tho..

    @RQuinton79 3 года назад +3

    Those dead zones are atrocious, but as you said, personal preference. I think this shows how cloud gaming is still in it’s infancy, such as controller exclusivity. Personally, I would grab a small Bluetooth Xbox controller for streaming games to my iPad, but even that is not ideal for all situations.
    Lon, do you have an idea of an ideal one size fits all cloud gaming controller or do you think we will need individual controllers for different streaming platforms: PC, tablet, phone, etc.

    I use the Pixel 4XL and it does fit with my super slim case cover but to be honest it fits snug and nearly perfectly without the case. So I just pull it off whenever I want to game using the Kishi. No wabble at all nice and tight fit with the pixel 4XL without a phone case. Works flawlessly with Steam Link, Stadia and of course Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.... I haven't tried Nvidia GeForce Now. Grabbed it at Best Buy for $70. It is a great value now that it's not $100 anymore. I highly recommend this product if you really want a great experience gaming Xbox on the go.!

    Interesting. You have a more negative take on this than I do. I bought as a way to turn an old phone into a switch like experience for my kids. Hadn't noticed the dead zones when using it myself but thanks for the more technical analysis.

    no bluetooth for the price is a dealbreaker
    there's already cheaper competition in the USBC area and Bluetooth, even if they also don't offer both there really isn't reason to pick the Kishi over those

    • @acurisur
      @acurisur 3 года назад +1

      It doesn't have Bluetooth because it connects directly to the phone, Bluetooth has higher latency and can be patchy if there's interference from nearby devices. Those "cheaper" options you mentioned are not as good as the Kishi, you get what you pay for so why would anyone go for that? The only thing that competes with the Razer Kishi imo is the Backbone, but that only works on iPhones (I have a Samsung S20 FE).

    • @RazzPlay

    @LynnCindy 2 года назад

    My OnePlus 9 Pro phone is a snug fit with the Case off and doesn't have that "wobble" that you showed, but I didn't realize I could pull out those inserts so I might be able to fit it in with the case on. However, this controller does NOT work with APEX Legends, which is why I bought it initially. It is also worth noting that the Kishi V2 also does NOT work with the APEX Legends.

    The wobbliness is EXACTLY why I don''t use a case with my phone or take the rubber guards out. Also you should put the phone into the left side 1st. That makes it secure!

      I'm trying to figure this out. All the reviews I've seen that show their thumbs while playing fps shooters have a significant deadzone with the kishi. But here you are saying otherwise like others have. I've even seen Reddit posts that prove it has dz with apps that can track it. Could it be you just don't notice it cause you don't really play fps? Or maybe your used to playing with cheap controllers and got really good with it? I'm not trying to insult you, just looking for answers cause I'm torn between the two.

      @@pauljohn808 I’d recommend buying it for yourself Best Buy has extended returns. Streaming destiny 2 on Stadia earlier today I specifically tested for very slight movements. The results I’m seeing in this video is a much greater deadzone than I personally experienced. I’m not sure if it’s because he’s on android and I’m on iOS but I would return it if I had a deadzone like that. You can notice deadzone on any game not just FPS and I’m not experiencing this level of deadzone in anything I play.
