Overview

The Razer Kishi V2 USB C is a mobile game controller that transforms your smartphone into a proper gaming handheld. It connects via USB-C and works with Android 12+ devices as well as iPhone 15 series (iOS 17+). The controller features microswitch buttons, analog triggers, and an extendable bridge to fit a wide range of phone sizes. With passthrough charging and the Razer Nexus companion app, it offers a console-like experience on the go. This controller is ideal for gamers who want precise physical controls for mobile shooters, action games, or cloud streaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce NOW. The wired USB-C connection eliminates input lag, making it a strong choice for competitive play.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The Kishi V2 uses a direct USB-C connection — no Bluetooth pairing required. It supports Android 12 and later, and iOS 17 and later (including iPhone 15 series). The extendable bridge can accommodate most modern smartphones, though thick cases may interfere; removing the case is recommended for a secure fit. A passthrough USB-C port on the controller allows you to charge your phone while gaming, so you won't run out of battery during long sessions. The controller itself draws no separate power; it relies on the phone's USB-C port.
