The Razer Kishi Ultra is one of those devices. God-Tier of Mobile Gaming So what exactly is the Razer Kishi Ultra and at a price of £150 from the Razer store, how does it enhance your mobile gaming? Let's take a look. Design Imagine a controller split in half. Then add a retractable area that pinches your devices between two bits of rubber. Then you kinda get the Kishi Ultra.

Hush: Crane – An Interview with Co-Founder Jack Attridge

Breaking down the boundaries of interaction, for me that is where gaming gets interesting. Something a little different from button mashing or learning sequences of moves.

Running just like you are in a movie, you can pan and...
