Love the controller, but……
01/23/2023

I really like the Razer kishi v2 controller and I have barely put it down since Christmas, but for some reason, my controller stopped working today and I can’t figure out why. It may have something to do with the fact that while it was in my hand when I tripped over one of my dogs (because they never get out of the way), the controller was slammed down onto the ground with my phone connected to it (luckily my phone is fine), but when this little incident happened, I fear the controller’s internals may have been damaged as when my phone is hooked up to my controller now, the controller isn’t detected when I go into the Razer nexus app and I can’t update the firmware. If there’s anything you guys can do to help, then I will be extremely grateful. (I hope it isn’t broken)

Still No Support For iPhone 15

I’ve been waiting patiently for a firmware update to make the Kishi V2 Pro compatible with my iPhone 15. There was a firmware update 4 months ago that did nothing to help. No buttons work. The app doesn’t work. The only thing that works is the pass through charging and the screenshot button which for some reason functions as the side button and locks the phone.The app itself looks nice and seems to work smoothly but I can’t confirm since I can’t use the product it is supposed to be paired with. I was excited to use it because it looked nice and was free unlike the backbone app but alas I can’t do play any games the way the app is designed to be played.I contacted Razer support to see if there was at least a timeline for the next update but no questions were answered straightforward. It’s basically a glorified charger at this point. I’m probably just going to look into getting a backbone and If razer ever makes their app and hardware iphone 15 compatible I’ll come back and edit my review.

App not so great, controller is good.

App doesn’t really bring anything to the table that matters other than remapping the L4 and R4 buttons. Nothing else is really useful. Unfortunately for PlayStation remote play, no option to map either of those to the touchpad button. For that button all one can do is tap the screen and tap the screen touchpad the Remote Play app has built in. Unfortunately I’d recommend backbone for PS4 if you plan to mostly stream from a PS console. Works well for Xbox or GeforceNow.Wish PS was more supported since it’s the more popular console right now. It works, but missing the touchpad button as an option is a big miss.Controller itself is really good. App, not so much.

Awesome controller - App needs work!

The new Razer Kishi V2 for iOS is amazing. Love the programmable buttons & the solid feel overall with the controller. BUT…. The Nexus App needs a lot of work. It’s basically a poorly laid out App Store for games with controller support… problem is that none of the newer games that matter or people play show up here (ex. Apex & CoD). EDITED: The last piece missing is the option to remove shortcuts & launch games from the “More Games” library. (Added another star for either my bad with not being able to create shortcuts or it being implemented.)Overall… Amazing controller with programmable buttons & an App with potential! Please continue to update & support. Will update rating after future app updates.
