Razer has officially unveiled its latest lineup of mobile gaming controllers, introducing the Kishi V3, Kishi V3 Pro, and Kishi V3 Pro XL. These new devices aim to deliver a console-like gaming experience across a wide range of platforms, including Android and iPhone smartphones, mini tablets, full-sized tablets, and PCs.
The Kishi V3 series builds on the success of previous models, focusing on improved performance, broader compatibility, and a more immersive control experience. The Kishi V3 Pro and Kishi V3 Pro XL, in particular, include features commonly found in full-size gaming controllers, offering a premium solution for gamers who play on various portable devices.
The Kishi V3 Pro is equipped with TMR thumbsticks, allowing for precise input and customizable control thanks to swappable caps. Additional features include dual back buttons with a mechanical “mouse-click” feel and bumpers designed for quicker response during gameplay. Razer has also included its Sensa HD haptic feedback system, which enhances tactile response to in-game events.
The device supports both wired and remote PC gameplay through the Razer Nexus app, broadening its use beyond mobile platforms. Compatibility is a key focus, with the controller designed to fit a range of USB-C devices, even when phones are kept in certain protective cases. A passthrough USB-C charging port and a 3.5 mm audio jack allow users to play without sacrificing charging or audio functionality.
The Kishi V3 Pro XL offers the same feature set but is scaled up to fit full-sized tablets up to 13 inches. It supports devices such as the iPad Pro and iPad Air, aiming to provide the same level of performance and ergonomics found in console controllers. The XL version introduces a larger form factor that accommodates extended gaming sessions on bigger screens.
For users looking for a more streamlined option, the Kishi V3 delivers the essential features of the Pro models in a more compact design. It retains key elements like console-grade thumbsticks, tactile buttons, and support for passthrough charging and wired audio, making it suitable for newer iPhone models and Android phones.
As part of the launch, Razer is offering Apple Arcade subscriptions with every purchase. Buyers of the Kishi V3 and V3 Pro will receive three months of Apple Arcade, while Kishi V3 Pro XL customers will receive six months. This offer is valid for new and qualified returning subscribers.
The Razer Kishi V3 lineup reflects a continued push toward expanding high-quality gaming experiences beyond traditional consoles and PCs. By integrating pro-level controls and support for a wide range of devices, the Kishi V3 series caters to the growing demand for flexible and performance-focused mobile gaming accessories.
