Razer today announced a new version of its Kishi mobile controller, called the Kishi Ultra. This new controller is bigger and more closely resembles a console controller, including having more appealing ergonomics. According to Razer, it’s also designed to be used with a variety of devices, from phones and tablets to gaming PCs.
The original Kishi controllers, including the Kishi V2 and the V2 Pro, are designed and sized to work with smartphones. As such, they’re fairly compact compared with full-sized console controllers. The Ultra, on the other hand, is a similar size and form factor to said console controllers and is designed to work with larger smartphones and smaller tablets (devices up to 8 inches). It also works with PC if it’s hooked up with a USB-C controller.
The Ultra has full-sized handles with ergonomic grips and a complete button layout. Its other features include customizable RGB lighting and built-in haptics. Razer has also rolled out an update to the Nexus app that allows users to customize their Ultra controller’s thumbstick deadzones and remap buttons. In addition, the Kishi Ultra also comes with a virtual controller mode, which allows users to play touchscreen-controlled games with their physical controller.
The Kishi Ultra officially launches today for an MSRP of $149.99.
