Razer's new Kishi gamepad takes
inspiration from the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers, but gives it a
signature Razer design overhaul. However, it brings a few notable upgrades.
First, it overcomes latency by connecting to the phone via wired USB Type-C or
Apple Lightning connector interface. Second, it doesn't need to be charged
separately, as it takes up juice from the phone itself. Third, it is compatible
with a wide range of Android and iOS smartphones.
And oh, it also supports pass-through
charging, as the gamepad has a separate port where you can plug the charging
cable to simultaneously top up your phone's battery. The list of compatible
phones includes the Galaxy S8, Galaxy Note 8 and their respective successors,
Pixel 2 and later iterations, and iPhone 6 and newer models. The Razer Kishi
gamepad hits the shelves in early 2020, but there is no word on pricing yet.
