Razer Launches Kishi V3 Series: Advanced Mobile Gaming Controllers for Tablets and Phones
  • Razer has officially launched the Kishi V3 series of mobile gaming controllers, which includes the Kishi V3, V3 Pro, and V3 Pro XL, featuring significant upgrades from the previous Kishi V2 models.

  • The Kishi V3 Pro XL is specifically designed for tablets up to 13 inches, such as the iPad Pro, while maintaining the same performance standards as the Pro version.

  • The Kishi V3 Pro enhances the gaming experience with its premium feel, weight, and HD haptic feedback, making it comfortable for extended sessions.

  • Game streaming is supported through low-latency USB-C cables using the Razer Nexus app, which also allows users to customize haptic feedback.

  • Customization options abound, including remappable buttons, adjustable trigger modes, and claw grip bumpers to cater to various gaming styles.

  • All models of the Kishi V3 series began shipping on June 12, 2025.

  • The controller features full-size TMR joysticks that utilize magnets for input registration, significantly reducing the risk of stick drift.

  • In a market with limited direct competition, the Kishi V3 stands out, as alternatives like Backbone's controller are not designed for larger tablets.

  • Priced at $149.99, the Kishi V3 is currently the most expensive mobile gaming controller available, comparable to high-end console controllers.

  • The controller is compatible with newer iPhones featuring USB-C connections and the iPad Mini, with a non-Pro version available for $99.99.

  • Advanced thumbsticks and triggers promise longevity and precision, incorporating high-quality haptics similar to those found in PlayStation and Nintendo controllers.

  • The Razer Nexus app, included for free, serves as a game launcher, enhancing the gaming experience with access to mobile games and Apple Arcade.
