Razer Kishi Mobile Game Controller for Android USB-C – Low-Latency Direct Connection, Pass-Through Charging – Black (Open Sealed)

Description

The Razer Kishi for Android transforms a compatible USB-C Android smartphone into a handheld gaming system with physical console-style controls.

Instead of connecting through Bluetooth, the Kishi plugs directly into the phone's USB-C port, providing a responsive wired connection without wireless pairing. Its flexible expandable design grips compatible smartphones between the two controller halves for a portable console-style experience.

The controller features clickable analog thumbsticks, an 8-way D-pad, four face buttons, L1/R1 bumpers, L2/R2 triggers, function controls, and a USB-C port for pass-through phone charging while playing.

Direct USB-C Connection

Unlike a Bluetooth gamepad, it does not rely on a separate wireless connection between the controller and smartphone.

Razer describes the direct connection as providing ultra-low-latency input for responsive mobile gaming.

Connection Type

USB-C – Direct Wired Connection

Bluetooth

No

2.4GHz Wireless

No

Console-Style Controls

The Kishi provides a familiar physical controller layout including:

• 2× Clickable Analog Thumbsticks
• 8-Way D-Pad
• 4× Face Buttons
• L1 / R1 Bumpers
• L2 / R2 Triggers
• Function Buttons
• Special Function Button

This gives compatible mobile and cloud games physical controls instead of relying exclusively on touchscreen input.

Clickable Analog Thumbsticks

The Kishi includes:

Dual Clickable Analog Thumbsticks

providing analog movement and aiming controls similar to a traditional console controller.

The sticks can also be clicked for additional inputs.

8-Way D-Pad

The controller includes an:

8-Way D-Pad

for directional controls in compatible games.

This is useful for:

• Platform Games
• Fighting Games
• Retro Games
• Menu Navigation
• Other D-Pad-Based Gameplay

USB-C Pass-Through Charging

The Razer Kishi provides an external:

USB-C Pass-Through Charging Port

This allows a charging cable to be connected to the controller so the attached smartphone can receive power while gaming.

Important USB-C Port Limitation

The external USB-C port is intended for:

Pass-Through Charging

It does not support USB-C headphones or other USB-C accessories.

No Internal Battery

The original Kishi does not require its own rechargeable battery.

It receives the small amount of power needed for operation directly from the connected smartphone.

Therefore:

• Internal Battery: No
• Replaceable Battery: No
• Controller Charging: Not Required
• Phone Pass-Through Charging: Yes

This also means there is no separate controller battery to charge before gaming.

Flexible Smartphone Fit

The Kishi uses an expandable design that stretches around compatible smartphones and holds the phone between its left and right controller sections.

Razer describes the design as providing a secure universal fit for compatible phones while maintaining a comfortable handheld gaming form factor.

Important Case Note

Fit depends on the dimensions and shape of the smartphone.

Bulky protective cases may need to be removed before installing the phone in the controller.

Cloud Gaming Support

The Razer Kishi was marketed for mobile and cloud gaming services, including platforms such as:

• Xbox Game Pass / Xbox Cloud Gaming
• NVIDIA GeForce NOW
• Amazon Luna
• Steam Link
• Compatible Android Games

The original retail title also advertised Google Stadia support; however, Google Stadia has since been discontinued, so it should not be presented as a currently usable gaming service.

Actual game and streaming-service availability depends on region, subscription, internet connection, Android version, and whether the individual game supports controller input.

Important Xbox Version Distinction

There are two closely related original Kishi Android versions:

RZ06-02900100 – Kishi for Android

and

RZ06-02900200 – Kishi for Android (Xbox)

Razer's current support documentation lists these as separate variants.

The product title provided here corresponds to the standard RZ06-02900100 family unless the physical Open Sealed box specifically shows the Xbox variant.

Do not add Xbox-branded button styling or an Xbox-specific SKU unless confirmed from the individual unit.

Compatibility

Designed for:

Compatible Android Smartphones with USB-C

Razer specifically identifies RZ06-029001 as the Android USB-C version. It is not compatible with iPhones simply because they have USB-C; Razer currently states that the original Android Kishi is not compatible with the iPhone 15 series.

Examples of Intended Android Device Families

Depending on dimensions and Android/controller support:

• Samsung Galaxy
• Google Pixel
• Razer Phone
• Other Compatible USB-C Android Smartphones

Always verify the dimensions and USB-C port positioning of the specific phone before promising physical compatibility.

Important Game Compatibility Note

A USB-C Android connection does not automatically make every Android game compatible with physical controller input.

Games must support gamepad controls, or the streaming application/service must support the controller.

Therefore, compatibility can vary by:

• Game
• Android Version
• App Version
• Cloud Gaming Service
• Region
• Smartphone Model

Important Stadia Note

Older packaging and product titles commonly list:

Google Stadia

because Stadia was an active cloud gaming service when the original Razer Kishi was released.

Google Stadia is now discontinued.

For a current product listing, it is better to retain Stadia only as a historical packaging/marketing reference, not as an active compatibility benefit.

Important V1 vs V2 Note

This is the:

Original Razer Kishi / Kishi V1

It should not be confused with:

• Razer Kishi V2
• Razer Kishi V2 Pro
• Razer Kishi Ultra

Those are newer and technically different controller generations.

Features from those newer models—such as their different bridge designs, Nexus controls, additional multifunction buttons, or other upgraded hardware—should not be copied into this listing.

Standard Package Contents

Razer's official product FAQ lists the standard package as:

• 1× Razer Kishi Universal Mobile Controller
