The Xbox Wireless Controller – A Hands On

Naturally, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X have taken the gaming world by storm. Launching late in 2020, they both have an absolute plethora of similarities. From SSDs to subscription services... the competing consoles have never been more aligned. One thing however that definitely sets them apart is their controllers. These aren't going to be articles about which has the better analogue stick placement. This is purely my thoughts on what the 2 devices bring to the table, and where I would like to see improvements if they ever choose to refine these models. I will say from the get-go though that with the DualSense and the revised Xbox Wireless Controller these are the best iterations both companies have ever delivered in the box of a console. I have to add that slight disclaimer...

Razer Kishi For Android Review

Razer Kishi For Android Review

The Razer Kishi is a clip on mobile accessory that turns your smartphone into a portable console. Mobile gaming has often been frowned upon with hardcore gamers. A stigma that is soon to be obsolete as mobile chipsets, screens and cloud based gaming options continue to grow. It's likely no coincidence that the Razer Kishi is advertising alongside the likes of Xbox's Cloud Streaming service. It's clear from the layout and feel of the pad they've worked closely with Microsoft on this one. Sporting a compact design, but still evoking the traditional Xbox pad layout it does feel great in your hand. The flatter shape however does mean that sometimes it's a struggle to comfortably use some of the buttons. Design Fresh out of the box the Razer Kishi is surprisingly small and flat. It's v...
