The Razer Kishi Ultra is exactly the type of mobile controller I want manufacturers to make. It isn’t trying to be cute, it isn’t some dumbed-down version of the full-sized gamepads they already make. It’s one of their existing pro controllers sawed in half and tweaked to suit a portable device.
More and more, this is the design philosophy the best mobile controllers are gunning for, and they’re all the better for it. There’s no denying that the Backbone One started a mobile gaming revolution, but with every new rival that’s arrived to compete with it, the more basic it’s ended up looking. For those who find the Backbone too small, too scaled back, the Razer Kishi Ultra offers a full-sized alternative.
