The Razer Kishi Ultra is finally seeing a real price break, now down to $99.99 from its usual $149.99—the lowest it’s been, according to price trackers .
Designed mainly for Android phones and newer iPhones with USB-C , the Kishi Ultra snaps onto your device with a springy bridge that can handle anything between 4.7 and 8.3 inches long. In hand, it feels closer to a full-size Xbox controller split in half, complete with offset analog sticks, large tactile buttons, clicky bumpers, and analog triggers. That said, its wide build does make it less travel-friendly compared to the Kishi V2 Pro , but the trade-off is comfort, especially for bigger hands or longer gaming sessions.
The physical controls of the Kishi Ultra are reportedly snappy and responsive. You get a familiar Xbox-style setup with a big D-pad, customizable L4 and R4 triggers, and optional RGB lighting for a bit of flair. Plus, the addition of haptic feedback brings an extra punch to every shot or impact in games like Ultrakill. Beyond that, the Kishi Ultra includes practical touches like a USB-C port that supports pass-through charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio. On Android, you get bonus features like virtual controller support for games without native control mapping (think Genshin Impact). However, if you’re an iPhone user, you’ll miss out on that feature. Also, cloud gaming on iOS through Xbox Game Pass isn’t quite as smooth, needing a web-based workaround instead of a clean app experience.
Still, the core experience holds strong across both platforms. Some quirks remain, like a bit of twitchiness in the analog triggers (especially when you’re trying to finely control acceleration in driving games—something to keep in mind if you’re picky about racing or precision-heavy titles, notes this PCMag review ) and the overall size, making it a pain to stuff into smaller bags. But if you can work around that, this is about as close as mobile gaming gets to feeling console-grade. Plus, with the ability to plug it into a PC via USB-C and use it as a wired controller, it quietly doubles its value.
