Following on from the brand's first couple of forays into the mobile gaming world, Razer has now announced the Kishi, a gaming controller that works for Android smartphones.

"With the reality of playing AAA releases on any screen, having the controller attached provides a form factor convenient and portable enough to truly game anywhere," says the official press release.

Aiming to produce a familiar console controller experience for the ever-closer cloud gaming age, the Razer Kishi features a range of high-quality buttons on the face and shoulders of the controller, just like your favourite PS4 or Xbox One gamepad. This includes clickable analog thumbsticks and a D-pad.

Technically, the new Razer gamepad is a strong machine. The controller connects directly to your device's charging port, which means a whole lot less lag when compared with standard Bluetooth controllers. If you need to charge at the same time, it also has an external USB-C port.

The controller promises to be comfortable in your hands, weighing just 265 grams (9.3 ounces) and measuring 134 x 37 x 94 mm (5.3 x 1.5 x 3.7 inches). Not a burden, but big enough to give you maximum control.
