No headphone connector
Must remove phone case to use
Left side may have slight wobble
Is not compatible with tablets
Larger phones
Or even smaller phones
Rubberinsert design is cumbersome
Won't fit Razer's own phones
Drains phone battery when not in use
Phones need to have a center-aligned USB-C port to be compatible
Can't accommodate the biggest
Highest-end phones. Most cases won't fit
A wired connection is good for latency
But at this price
It'd be nice if the Kishi doubled as a Bluetooth PC controller
As cool as it is
This is just a USB controller
And it cos
Thumbsticks are relatively tight and D-pad feels mushy
You lose USB-C audio
Blocks headphone port (for few phones that still have said port)
Controllers a little small for adult hands
Not made to fit tablets
No wireless connectivity
Can be a bit finicky to compact
Have to remove phone case to use
Doesn't fit Razer Phone 2 out of the box
Razer Kishi app is pretty basic
Takes a bit of work at first to open and collapse it properly
Can't use cases with it
I wish the triggers were a bit bigger for better hand comfort
Cable management inside stand isn't nearly big enough
OCD gamers with other LED lighting might want some sort of syncing option
Not everyone will like the 1000R curvature as it is quite pronounced
Excellent build quality, Fits many currentgen phones, Functionally compact
Is not compatible with tablets, larger phones, or even smaller phones, Rubberinsert design is cumbersome

As much as I love this controller and want to recommend it to everyone, $100 is a lot to ask. For $60 you can get a PS4 or Xbox controller that works with Android 10 phones, not to mention the numerous other cheaper alternatives. Unfortunately, the form f...
