Easy to use, but a bit large
on February 16, 2026
Posted by: SarahR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My boyfriend plays video games on his PlayStation all the time. He also plays games on his phone. So this felt like the best of both worlds; he could play his favorite phone games just like he was playing on his gaming system.
It was very easy to connect the controller to his phone (android) and to mine (iPhone), making it really adaptable. Since he’s a gamer already, it was easy for him to adjust to the controller buttons and feel.
The only downfall was that it doesn’t work well with all games, so some of his favorites didn’t work, which was disappointing. It’s also a bit big to take with us when we’re out and about, which was the point of getting it in the first place.
Overall, this is super cool, but there are opportunities for improvement.

Cool to see how it transform your phone
on February 12, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A fun way to turn your phone into a gaming device. Plugs in easily with an iPhone (out of the case) but it expands to fit other devices too. After some time you forget you’re playing on a small screen with the high quality imagery from the game and the classic commands from the controller. Lightweight—almost to a fault—it feels a bit fragile/cheap. But that also means it’s very portable. It’s responsive and easy to use for a pro-gamer or a beginner. It makes a great gift for game-loving teens and adults.

Ergonomic

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was so excited to try this out because he loves playing games on his phone. It feels similar to an Xbox controller and was easy to attach onto his iPhone 17. It’s not too heavy and is ergonomic which is important for comfort especially since he plays for a bit and was easy peasy to connect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The weight isn't heavy at all, and the buttons
are easy to maneuver. No struggle with how to
Use it and the built-in USB is intact for playing
and vour phone serves as a charger for this
controller.
The controller features swappable rubber inserts
to ensure a proper fit for different devices or
cases.
Works with most iPhones and Android USB
Type-C phones.
This is something I can bring on every vacation
for my spouse. My spouse hasn't tried playing
games on his phone yet, so this is going to be new for him.

Great phone controller for gaming!
on February 9, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. First, I have an iPhone 16 Pro, on iOS 26.2.1. The main game I have on my iPhone that I have that I play avidly is Genshin Impact. I would play Fortnite on my phone if I could, but I have no storage. However, with how this accessory plays, I say it would easily play Fortnite.
The actual accessory: I have small hands, and quite a few controllers aren’t as comfortable as they could be. I would say this is smaller hand player friendly! The right side feels a little weird, but you get used to it, just like any other controller. The middle expands and retracts to snuggly fit your phone, and there are little rubberized pieces that allow it to cushion it. I have a wallet phone case, so I have to open the wallet, but I have had no issues plugging it into the controller to play it.
One thing I really like about this product is that you can charge and play at the same time. At first I was a little worried that I would just have to play until my phone died, but nope! You can charge and play at the same time, and the charge is at a comfortable position.
The buttons and sticks don’t feel flimsy at all. The actual controller is pretty sturdy feeling, except for the middle- but that should be reinforced by your phone. One thing I did notice, doing an attack, I pressed on the right trigger a little too hard and it pressed in more than it probably should. That should be avoidable by not being aggressive during boss battles like I am.
To actually use the controller, you have to install the Razer Nexus app. It acts as a bit of a “game hub” I believe, and makes it so you can use a controller for those games. You do have to sign up for a razer account to use the app, I believe. I have razer keyboard, so I had an account already, but I think it is important to note that I was prompted to download and install an app, and sign in.
Once I mapped the controls to the game, I found it smooth. There was no lag or skip in my game, at least nothing discernible to me. Obviously, it takes some getting used to, but the customization of the controller is fantastic. Genshin is a little more limited in customization, but you can still map the buttons outside of the game. I tried mapping buttons using steam link and it was easy. However, I did notice lag there, but that’s probably because I was literally streaming Stardew Valley to my phone.
Overall, I am very pleased with this product, it is much easier on my hands than playing with just my phone, and the tactile addition of buttons makes gaming overall more enjoyable. For the price, I would say it’s a pretty fair one, especially since you can use it as a normal one for not only your phone, but PC as well. It is pretty pricey, but with the customization and adjustability, I say it is again, a fair price. I would recommend this product for people who like a controller, but still want to play on their phone!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you’re a gamer and use your phone to play, this is it ! The joystick is smooth and works really well. All the buttons are in reach and the click is great. Connectivity is easy and works well with the iPhone. This takes phone games to another level

A must have
on February 8, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So the razor Kishi V3 is a game changer for me as a gamer. It is super easy to hook up just plug it in and you’re good to go no messing around with Bluetooth or syncing. There is an app that you have to download but it automatically notices a new device has been hooked to your iPhone. The device is really late so I can game for hours without feeling weighted down plus it’s sleek and just looks really cool which definitely adds to the overall experience. I love how comfortable the grips feel and the buttons are responsive, making it perfect for gaming whether I’m playing on my android or iPhone for someone like me who’s always gaming on the goat it’s honestly the perfect companion.
