There is also a new Share button that allows gamers to quick capture stills or record video clips and easily share them with followers and friends. The new controller also has a dual multifunction button and the ability to launch the new Razer Nexus app with a push of a button.

Meanwhile, the company also updated its design. it has a simplified bridge for a stable feel and universal smartphone compatibility. The company also noted that it will work with current and upcoming Samsung and Google Pixel phones this year.

Similar to its predecessor, the Kishi V2 has native and cloud game control through a USB-C connection and pass-through charging ports that allow for device charging without interrupting gameplay. 

The device is also compatible with the new Razer Nexus App which offers maximum versatility and customizability.

At the moment, it is only available for Android smartphones. But, Razer is also working on an iPhone version.

The original Razer Kishi blew the doors open for a new category of console-quality controls for the mobile gaming market, and we're thrilled that Kishi V2 is pushing that experience forward in every possible way, said Razer's Head of Mobile & Console Division, Richard Hashim. With the cutting-edge technology that we’ve packed into Kishi V2, players can now enjoy the same look and feel of their favorite console and PC games wherever they go without skipping a beat.
