For gamers using larger tablets, such as the 13-inch iPad Pro, there’s now an option to transform their tablet into a full-sized portable gaming device with the Razer Kishi V3 Pro XL. This new tablet controller is one of three models in the Kishi V3 series that debuted on June 12. The tablet-exclusive V3 Pro XL boasts several premium components and has a price tag of $200. Additionally, Razer launched a Kishi V3 Pro for smartphones and smaller tablets at $150, as well as a smartphone-only Kishi V3 base model priced at $100.
Let’s take a look at all three controllers in the Kishi V3 lineup.
GameSir isn’t just competing in this market; they too provide a tablet controller cradle, like the GameSir G8 Plus. Priced at $80 (originally $100), it comes with Hall Effect joysticks, advanced motion-sensing six-axis gyroscope technology, robust vibration feedback, and interchangeable magnetic components. It connects via Bluetooth and works with iOS and Android devices up to 8.5 inches. A notable feature is its compatibility with Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, which makes it quite appealing.
Users of smartphones can also explore the latest Backbone Pro, a game-changing accessory that brings professional gaming experience to mobile devices. Expanding upon the solid base laid by the Backbone One, this snap-on USB-C controller designed for iPhone 15/16 and Android phones is a significant improvement over its previous version.
As an enthusiast, I can share that this device is not just for gaming on smartphones, it doubles as a wireless Bluetooth controller for tablets, PCs, Macs, Steam Deck, and numerous other devices. Customization is a breeze with the official Backbone App. Essentially, it’s an upgraded and more feature-rich version of the Backbone One. Comparable to Razer’s V3 Pro controllers in terms of functionality, the Backbone Pro comes with a higher price tag of $170.
