I didn't think this would be good! - Razer Kishi

The video opens with the presenter admitting that the Razer Kishi is not typically his kind of product, setting a tone of skeptical curiosity. He walks through the unboxing and physical design, noting that the device is a USB-C controller intended for Android phones and that it primarily handles charging via a bottom Type-C port. The discussion moves to the physical feel of the controls: the D-pad and buttons are evaluated as solid but unspectacular, with the analog sticks receiving praise for their feel while the A B X Y buttons are described as having limited tactile feedback. The triggers are described as not outstanding, yet still competitive when compared with other similar devices. The host demonstrates mounting a Note 9 inside the clamp, highlighting how well the fit works, minimal wobble, and comfortable grip when held from the bottom. He also points out the limitations such as rear-mounted touch sensors and cameras being obstructed, noting that most gaming uses do not require the rear camera. The segment then segues into a sponsorship moment for Displate before returning to gameplay testing with Overcooked 2 and Tomb Raider, illustrating the controller’s practicality in casual mobile gaming despite not delivering revolutionary performance. By the mid-to-late section, the host remains cautious about claiming a transformative gaming experience, emphasizing build quality and usability while acknowledging the device’s fit with older hardware like the Note 9. In closing, he reiterates that while the Kishi is a neat device and well built, it remains a niche accessory rather than a universal gaming solution, and he signs off with a lighthearted note on the product’s potential and the usual appreciation for his audience.
