Review on Razer Kishi V2 Mobile Gaming Controller And Opus X Wireless Low Latency Headset Bundle For Android by Alicia Aftanas

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This just isn’t it.

Unfortunately you can do a lot better than this.I have used Backbone for a while and I wanted to give this a try because the reviews were pretty good and I liked the additional buttons along the bumpers.The box it arrived in is made of heavy cardboard and in a pinch, it makes a great travel case. That’s about where the good news ends.I’ve had a lot of problems with it and I’m only about 10 days in at the time of this review.The controls will frequently stop working in during play and when this happens the app continues performing whatever action was being performed when the glitch hit. If you’re side stepping, you will just continue side stepping until the the controller figures out what it’s suppose to be doing. This happens at least 4-5 times during my sessions which are an hour or two on average.The app leaves a lot to be desired. it only seems to suggest niche unknown games. Compared to Backbone’s app this one surely falls WAY short. Even if you are paying to use Backbone’s app, it’s better than whatever this is that Razer produced and you will be happier with the recommendations it suggests.The buttons aren’t as clicky as Backbone’s and with the X, Y, B, A positions, it’s very easy to accidentally tab two buttons at once because of the very small proximity of the layout.The extra bumper buttons are a good idea and I liked having some additional buttons, but they can only be remapped to other already assigned controls.It’s also not as user friendly for streaming, I don’t stream a lot, so I can’t comment a lot on this. When I have used it I haven’t been thrilled with the interface.TLDL: Overall you’re mostly paying for a name and frankly, this accessory of FAR from their best work at Razer. I will be returning this one.

Pros
  • Versatile Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of Android devices, including smartphones and tablets
Cons
  • The controller may have a short lifespan if used frequently
