New features like the taller m1 and m2 buttons, dedicated screen capture and record buttons, and the Razer Nexus button enhance user experience. The Kishi V2 retains ease of use across various gaming platforms, offering a lag-free performance with comfortable, tactile buttons. However, it lacks built-in screen mapping and an optional cooling rig, leaving room for future enhancements.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the Razer Kishi V2 gaming controller. They start by summarizing the popularity of the Kishi V1 for both Android (using USB-C) and iPhone (with a lightning port). The Kishi V2 maintains popular features from V1, such as clickable analog sticks and linear triggers for sensing pressure.
Several upgrades in V2 are highlighted:
1. The elastic band connecting the two sides has been replaced by a backbone-style extendable bridge, making the grip more secure and robust.
2. The maximum extension is around 17 cm, accommodating larger phones better.
3. For foldable devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, a Bluetooth controller might be preferable due to fitting issues.
Additionally, the V2 redesign often allows phones to fit without removing thin cases, aided by adjustable spacers included by Razer. Changes to the D-pad, switching from a rubber plate to mechanical switches, aim for better responsiveness and durability. Another enhancement is the introduction of third trigger inputs, known as multi-function triggers.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the Razer Kishi V2 gaming controller’s new features, including the m1 and m2 buttons, which are taller than other buttons to prevent accidental pressing. The controller includes a Razer Nexus button that opens the Razer Nexus app, allowing users to remap the m1 and m2 buttons. The button layout resembles the V1 version, with additional dedicated screen capture and screen record buttons. The Kishi V2 supports USB-C power pass-through but not data pass-through. The speaker notes the different tactile feedback of buttons, speaker vents, ergonomic design elements like the concave D-pad, and textured grip. The controller’s lightweight of 124 grams is highlighted, and there’s a brief mention of a Damascus steel wallet with a discount offer code.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the setup and performance of a gamepad with various gaming platforms including game streaming services, Android games, and emulators. The gamepad is recognized as a regular gamepad, making it easy to use. It requires minimal setup, except for mapping buttons for games that do not support control pads, for which a third-party app like Mantis Pro is recommended. The speaker reports that the gamepad is very comfortable, with tactile buttons and secure grips. Its key advantage is zero latency when not streaming online, performing well even in reactive games like Batman Arkham City. The speaker concludes by highlighting the upgrades over the previous version, such as an improved d-pad, extra buttons, a new app, a sturdier grip, and wider device fitting. However, they note the absence of a built-in screen mapping feature and optional cooling rig, suggesting these may come in future versions.
