Save 30% on the Razer Kishi Xbox Game Pass cloud controller for Android

Xbox Game Pass is a great service that offers dozens of games for a low monthly fee. If you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you can also play Xbox games via cloud streaming on an Android device. Streaming can introduce some latency, which is compounded a bit by the lagginess of Bluetooth and the awkwardness of touch controls. Thankfully, Razer build a solution, and it’s 30% off for Amazon Prime Day. This is among the best Xbox Prime Day deals you’ll be able to land this week.

The Razer Kishi is a great Android controller option, giving you tactile Xbox-like controls on various types of Android handsets. The major downside is that it’s fairly restrictive with the different models it supports, and some newer phones like the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra can be extremely tight to fit inside it. The clamp system on the GameSir X2 is far better (and that’s also available as a Prime Day deal). However, if you do have a phone the Razer Kishi is listed as being designed for, it’s arguably more ergonomic than the GameSir X2, with a more comfortable design for long-term use, with superior software apps and configurability.

Thanks to the USB-C connector, the Kishi eliminates the lag you get with Bluetooth controllers, giving you a more responsive gameplay experience when streaming from services like Xbox Game Pass cloud or Google Stadia. It can also be used for native Android gaming on titles like Minecraft, Fortnite, and Call of Duty Mobile, giving you an edge over those using touch controls.

The Kishi is a bit pricey in its standard RRP, but thanks to the 30% discount for Amazon Prime Day, this is easily one of the best deals of the sale, and well-worth considering.
