Great news for mobile gamers, the Razer Kishi V2 has been released to the masses. I can see why Razer has released a second Kishi as the first was a huge success.
And by success, I literally mean it was huge. Check out these quotes below from Richard Hashim who is head of Razer’s Mobile & Console Division.
“The original Razer Kishi blew the doors open for a new category of console-quality controls for the mobile gaming market, and we’re thrilled that Kishi V2 is pushing that experience forward in every possible way”
“With the cutting-edge technology that we’ve packed into Kishi V2, players can now enjoy the same look and feel of their favorite console and PC games wherever they go without skipping a beat.”
New Controller, New App
The Razer Kishi V2 for Android has been released to the world, with an iPhone release confirmed for later this year. It’s also inspired by the Razer Wolverine V2 console controller. The guts of the controller have the same high-quality inputs, with all-new tactile microswitch controllers inside of it. Clicky clicky!
Not only have the insides had a bit of an overhaul, but the outside has too! Kishi V2 brings better ergonomics so it’ll fit in your hands better and more importantly, be more comfortable should you have an extended gaming session on your mobile device. Not only do we have a new controller to wield, we have a new app to go along with this shiny new gadget.
The Razer Nexus App is a free-to-download app that you can use with your new controller. With the tap of a button, Razer Nexus will launch. This gives players quick access to installed games. It’ll also give you immediate streaming capabilities to YouTube or Facebook Gaming, find compatible games, and more.
