They're both great controllers, probably the best available on the market right now. I do have a new Moga one coming tomorrow which I will compare them with too 👍
@@cheesecakebeast5052 you're making the right decision and welcome to the Samsung Galaxy family. I'm only rocking with my Samsung Galaxy S10E at the moment
This is one of the most insightful and detailed comparison on these devices I've ever seen, I appreciated thast you went down into singular aspects of the controllers and even mentioned input lag (a lot of people don't talk about input lag at all, ubelievable considering how crucial it is), even talking about dpads. Ah the dpad, no love for us retrogamers xD Good work, it was really useful. You earned a subscriber :)
Bought a kishi and using my pixel 6a for emulation. Couldn't be happier about my gaming machine. Xcloud and Smartphone games besides retroarch are on the same handheld. And Im more a fpga fan. ☮️
@@AndroidAddicts my 6a is my dedicated Media device. I wouldn't call it cheap for 325 €. ;) But it's worth the money. Also making excellent pictures. Using 2 smartphones for a while. ☮️
Awesome comparison. I see this video was posted about 3 months ago. The price then for the Glap Play controller was about $79. The Razer Kishi was and still is $79. Today, the Glap Play controller is now almost double the price at $139.
So the Kishi button layout is pretty much like the Nintendo Switch, for those people who are used to the layout on the Switch instead. Might as well think of it like phone-connectable joycons
Excuse me, for several months, I suppose you have used them, how does the samsung glap controller perform with its joystick? Have they felt worn? Sorry if something is mentioned wrong, I have basic English, greetings from Mexico: 'D
you noted that "No input lag on the Kishi" as it uses a direct USB C connection, what about the Glap? You said Kishi has a Con "Your phone must have a USB C connector which must be central" Do you know of any Android phone in the last 3-4 years capable of XCloud or Stadia that is not USB-C and the connector is on the side. please share a list.
I don't have a list sadly but I did put up a new video yesterday comparing input lag between the Kishi and Glap: ruclips.net/video/dwHPrKJqt5o/видео.html
I bought both nearly 6 months ago and had my note 9 in the glap and my 5.4 nokia in the Kishi. Played both equally tbh, same games, the Glap is FAR superior in nearly every way. The independent connection is batter as it can also be used as a controller for my pc without a phone... The build is better overall and i attached a lightweight wireless charger to the back as an add on and it solved the phone charging situation. The Kishi is not as good button wise as the L R and triggers turned out to be much more convenient on the Glap as I automatically use a different finger for each, 2 index and middle on each side. Just my long term conclusion here... Hope it helps 🙏
I've never used a mobile controller before, other than pairing with my xbox controller once in a while. I picked up the glap for $60 open-boxed, since they don't seem to make it anymore. I really wanted something new, like the gamesir x2 or shaks s5b, but darn they look so cheaply made. I know the s5b has vibration motors, so maybe I'll pick that up to. Unfortunately, the Kishi isn't compatible with my Fold 3 without making some serious mods and/or some 3d printing for a proper mount. They all look a little cheap tbh, why can't we get something higher quality, like what we get with console controllers?
I had the glap and returned it due to the analogs drifting really bad in less than a month with only around 2 uses,i didint like it much mainly because of the trigger positioning,does the kishi have L3/R3?
Sorry to hear you had issues with your Glap, mine is still working OK thankfully. The Kishi only has to top two bumper buttons and 2 triggers at the top/back
Indeed the version I had also has clickable thumsticks. When you said L3/R3 I thought you were talking about shoulder buttons like on the PlayStation controller 😅 apologies!
Well Kishi has a compatibility list lol so i dont think thats a Con... People should read and research more instead of blaming on the products. Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, S9+, S10, S10+, S20, S20+ Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, Note 10, Note 10+ Google Pixel 2, 2 XL, 3, 3XL, 4, 4XL Razer Phone 1 & 2 (requires inserts available from customer support) Other devices within supported dimensions (145.3 - 163.7 mm x 68.2 - 78.1 mm x 7.0 - 8.8 mm)
thankfully for us android addicts did the research lol.... considering these products are a the same price point i feel very informed on which one to buy. as far as compatibility if it doesn't work for your phone when another product does then its probably a con for the company.
The Glap feel SOO much better than the kishi. IMO the Glap is the way to go. Kishi is smaller to carry around, but in a backpack, the difference is 🤷♂️ And same price? as of January 2021, the kishi is roughly $80 or $99 The Glap is more at around $130 on Amazon So around a $50 price difference.
I doubt that, he was muted on input lag for the Glap. One of the best-selling point of this types of controllers is cloud based game streaming where input lag is an issue.
No, the Razer Kishi sticks aren't on par with xbox one sticks, not even close. You can see the huge deeadzone that make the stick snap on vertical and horizontal axis. The xbox one stick doesn't have deadzones. Try to paint between quadrants instead of painting outside of the dead zones, which any stick even the cheapest one can do.
I chose the glap because you can run it off a PC and see the screen on the pc. I am waiting for it to arrive so I have yet to test it. Would be good to see a demo of the glap running a PC screen via the phone.
I'm not sure really. If you can't find it in the Play Store then you could watch my other video here which has a link: ruclips.net/video/w7mhtzK7dyY/видео.html
@@AndroidAddicts one cuestion? Wath do you think is better, razer Kishi or junglecat? This last is more expensive, but compatible with Windows an other devices
It's 0.8mm wider than my S20 Ultra but you should just about be able to squeeze it in. If you haven't already, check out the Kishi comparison to the Gamesir X2 which has no issues with phone's width... ruclips.net/video/w676K-UFn5U/видео.html
@@AndroidAddicts Thanks for your reply. Take another 0.2mm off as I rounded it up, official height is 165.8mm🤣. Did you take the rubber inserts out to get your S20 ultra in?
Well the S20 Ultra is 166.9mm so anything smaller will definitely be fine. I don't take out the rubber inserts either (I tried it to see what it was like but it didn't feel as solid in the hand)
@@AndroidAddicts ah ok thank you. But do you think the kishi will break over time since you're squeezing the s20 ultra in there like this? Also is it truly wobbly and scratch the back side?
It's not noticeably wobbly whilst playing with the S20 Ultra. With my S8 it is noticeable. I would say yes, if you pressed on the back where the clasp-thing is with the plastic it could potentially scratch your phone. Luckily your hands never touch it whilst playing but it's certainly a possibility.
@@AndroidAddicts other android 10 devices need the firmware update from glaps official website. Even then there is input lag. However it works right out the box with Samsung phones. Self tested
Wireless always has lag. Unfortunately the bt protocol is not made for low lag controller. Just if your ear pods for example have a dedicated low lag gaming mode. ☮️
It also doesnt properly fit the LG Wing. Thankfully this controller (the GLAP) looks like it fits just fine. I also hope the Backbone One can fit this phone when the android version of it comes out.

I absolutely agree! Brilliant video
I was interested in the Kishi however, my Galaxy S10e is smaller than the minimum height it will fit. So, I'll look into the Glap.
easy just put your phone in the kishi along with a case. another commenter had the same phone and said it fit snug with a case.
@@totalanonymous8180 My S10e actually fit the Kishi after all. Even without a case. Thanks!
@@dashcamcreate1587 that's awesome bro! Loving the razer kishi gives such an advantage on COD mobile
Use the glap if you want to play long game sessions. The kishi is far more uncomfortable.
Thanks for the feedback! Sadly the Glap is hard to get hard of now as they stopped producing it!
Please do a review on the Gamesir x2!
You dont need to remove the case for the Kishi. SImply remove the rubber inlays and you can use the Kishi with your case.
How easy is that? i don't want to remove my case everstime I want to put it on the Kishi.

@@AndroidAddicts
You do not feel latency? How much is the minimum thickness of the cell phone to fit the control?
Have the kishi. Notice my right hand gets crammed after a while. Going to try out the Glap. The bigger size might make the difference
Yep the glap should feel better for you then. It reminds be a bit of the OG Xbox "Juke" controller 👍
Which is better in terms of lag input?
Kishi is better as it's a direct usb c conenction
@@AndroidAddicts thanks
Thank you for the video, looking for one for for Stadia and Geforce Now
No problem! Which did you prefer out of the Kishi and Glap?
Android Addicts swaying to the Glap, I prefer the button and stick alignments
does the glap work wirelessly with a PC?
I've just tested on Windows 11 and yes - it does! 😊👍

Kishi only because the charging pass through.
I think it's the Kishi
Kishi because of no input Lag and pass through
Glap because it's more comfortable and has better D-Pad, buttons and triggers!

2:56 the guy use to playing the wii u 🙂
Seems like the glap is a much better controller in terms of design and functionality.

One of the best-selling point of this types of controllers is cloud based game streaming where input lag is an issue.
I'm doing another Game Pass video today so let me know how you want me to test/show any input lag and I'll include it 👍
No. The Kishi is way better and at the end he practically said if you can fit your phone into the Kishi just go for it.
@@ClearButComplex The Kishi design and button layout are trash. Went with the Glap.
Better D-Pad, better buttons, better triggers, easier, more comfortable lay out. Glap wins on the points that matter most!
How are the analog controls work on android as compared to a ps4 controller?
I've not got a PS4 controller to compare it with I'm afraid
Would the kishi fit the a71 5g phone?
Yes it'll fit in fine! 👍
Step by step how do you find games that actually work with buttons on Kishi
Just use the Kishi app and that will list all the games that are compatible
No, the Razer Kishi sticks aren't on par with xbox one sticks, not even close.
You can see the huge deeadzone that make the stick snap on vertical and horizontal axis. The xbox one stick doesn't have deadzones.
