The Razer Kishi Highlighted Portability at CES 2020

— January 8, 2020 — Tech
The Razer Kishi was unveiled by the brand at CES 2020 as a solution for avid gamers that is aimed at helping them enjoy their choice of title in a more intuitive, immersive manner. The smartphone gaming controller works by being positioned directly over any model of Android device and will connect directly to it via USB-C to reduce latency dramatically when compared to wireless alternatives. The passthrough functionality allows users to charge their device as they play to keep them going for longer without worrying about a low battery.

The Razer Kishi is positioned for an early 2020 launch and features a compact size that can be easily stored almost anywhere between uses.
