After the Raiju Mobile in 2018 then the Junglecat and finally the original Kishi, Razer is taking advantage of the post-WWDC period to announce its new and improved version today, which is called Razer Kishi V2 and it is for Android, while the version for iPhone will arrive later.
What’s new in the Razer Kishi V2
The new model also offers some additional buttons, including a dedicated button for capturing screenshots and video clips, a Razer Nexus button, and user-programmable buttons.
Razer promises better button quality thanks to microswitches instead of a membrane. The new control pad offers mechanical clicks, the triggers are sampled analogously, so that racing games, for example, can be gently accelerated.
The Razer Kishi V2 has an additional USB-C port, so it is possible to charge a smartphone while gaming. The connection to the smartphone is via USB-C or Lightning, which means that the latency should be significantly lower than with Bluetooth gamepads.
The Razer Nexus app, which is opened via the associated button on the gamepad, allows the button assignment to be adjusted. The app also manages the recorded screenshots and video clips, while a library of gamepad-compatible games can be accessed.
