The follow-up makes a number of smart changes and improvements, as well as a few minor questionable changes.
This biggest and most notable change is the addition of a full bridge.
The bridge is the connective piece joining the left and right sides of the controller.
The app also allows you to access YouTube or Facebook streaming capabilities and controller prefs.
I dabbled with the app and it seemed generally superfluous, but a nice accompaniment to the hardware.
These buttons are set next to the L2 and R2 triggers and will be programmable for various games.
What makes them so good is they are as easy to press as they are to ignore.
I like these additional buttons so much that I wouldnt mind seeing them on future standard console controllers.
Outside of those additional buttons, the layout will be familiar to anyone who has held an Xbox controller.
The L1 and R1 buttons are standard shoulder buttons, while L2 and R2 function as triggers.
The L2 and R2 buttons also have a small field of movement, but still feel good.
This was not my experience, but I could see it being an issue for larger hands.
One barely noticeable downgrade from the original Kishi is the A/B/X/Y buttons are no longer colored.
Colored buttons are, admittedly, not something you think about while playing a game.
The Ergonomics
Holding the Kishi V2 and your phone feels good.
It feels mostly invisible in a positive way.
The Razer Kishi V2 is not a Bluetooth controller.
The bottom line
The Kishi V2 impressed me during my time with it.
