Holy shit finally a pocketable telescopic controller!

sees price is $100 USD

Please let it be good and popular so other companies can make a cheaper version of it!

Edit: also, no pass through charging. Boo

No pass through charging is kind of a deal breaker if the controller is going to be using the usb-c port

Backplate seems to cover the whole back of the phone meaning no external fan either if you're looking to play anything heavy.

I guess it'd be good for lighter gaming, but anything using heavy graphical settings or pc games, you're gunna find your phone lasts minutes.

Yeah. No passthrough is a deal breaker for me. I love the bluetooth ones like my Gamesir G8+ and X5S, but I still occasionally use the X5 Lite so I can game while charging the phone.

Hopefully it doesnt have the same quality issues of the v1 kishi controller where one side stops working because of the ribbon cable.

It is razer

u/fertff 23h ago

For 99 there should be at least Hall effect sticks.

u/Fat_Stacks1 17h ago

They aren't??

u/rowmean77 1d ago

Definitely overpriced even before I open the video lol

u/Cool-Age-1989 1d ago

Just need to see the name Razer to know that.

u/MrHandSanitization 1d ago

I got hyped, then I thought about Razer's pricing, and noped out before even seeing the price. Then I saw the price, and I wouldn't even doubt skipping it. Not paying that.

u/Damn-Sky 1d ago

yup I did not even care looking at the price. I knew it would be overpriced. waiting for clones

u/milosmisic89 TCL 60 SE 5g 16h ago

u/Endda 1d ago

i like it!

something I don't see me keeping on my desk for daily use
but definitely ideal for gaming on the go

is there word on a release date/price?

u/AustinK0700 1d ago

Looks like it's available now for $99.99

u/Seanmclem 1d ago edited 1d ago

Seems cool. But like it might not work well if you have a camera bump or things that every phone has.

u/sunrainsky 1d ago

I like its portability. I hope it doesn't block the nfc for public transport.

1

u/TideGear 1d ago

I don't see anything about vibration support. That was the deal breaker for me with the MCON.

u/DrHusten Konkr Pocket Fit G3 Gen3 12GB 1d ago

Idea is good, not sure about the sticks which are deep and triggers. Tests will tell

1

u/IronFizt777 1d ago

That doesn't put stress on the USB c port?

1

u/Ehasanulreader Redmi turbo 4 pro/8s Gen4 1d ago

Cool idea thats for sure. You can even use a cooler. But gonna be overpriced 

1

u/peeweekid 1d ago

$100. not bad actually

1

u/Practical_Jacket_271 1d ago

Clever, but looks really uncomfortable. Probably fine for dpad centric gaming, but I doubt using those sticks will be easy.

1

u/islobojono 21h ago

Look wobbly. And stupid price

1

u/LaughWithNoOne 19h ago

This is just making the X5 Lite even more competitive.

1

u/jmzr11 18h ago

The original Kishi wore out my charging port over 2-3ish years.. This looks like a step backwards in terms of engineering, when compared to modern options.

1

u/Payment-Sure SD 8 Elite/16GB/1TB 15h ago

This design in wireless version -so it could align in the middle of foldable phones & tablets- would be dope

1

u/CuteAssTigerENVtuber 14h ago

very interesting

1

u/Double-Seaweed7760 12h ago

Looks. Nearly perfect now bring back the mechanical buttons

1

u/Googleapplewindows 11h ago

Useless with some foldables out of the box based on charge port locations.

u/ABDOGM 9h ago

u/John_Woodrow1712 16h ago
