The Backbone One's app is so excellent, that it saves some of its minor feature and performance shortcomings. However, there are going to be a good number of people for whom the Backbone presents a far better alternative - and it's because of the one category this device has topped: software. The Razer Kishi V2 has won out in nearly every category, so it would be tempting to label it the best and move on. Winner - Razer Kishi V2 Which should you buy? You're essentially trading sensitivity for a soft, padded landing here, though. While Razer has opted for lighter mechanical clickers underneath its directional arrows, Backbone's offering is a little clunky by comparison. There's still a nice clack to each press and you'll be able to tuck and roll quite easily, but moving from one to the other makes the stiffness here particularly notable. If anything, these buttons sometimes feel a little too easy to miss-press, especially during more breakneck moments - an issue that's compounded by the fact that these buttons are placed closer to one another than on the Backbone One.īy contrast, Backbone's face buttons feel heavy and dense. This translates to super-fast gameplay and a nice response to twitch reflexes. While the Razer Kishi V2 offers a snappy, super sensitive set of face buttons, each decked out with microswitches for a particularly satisfying experience. There are, however, some significant differences in the overall feel of each device. Both are low-latency gamepads with speedy response times and snappy thumbsticks. Neither the Backbone One nor the Razer Kishi V2 ever snagged in our own testing. Winner - Razer Kishi V2 Backbone One vs Razer Kishi V2: Performance The only drop made by the Kishi V2 is with regards to audio, so adding the extra buttons into account, there's better overall functionality with Razer. They're still helpful for mapping a dodge or for toggling a sprint, though. As mentioned above, however, these can only be configured to an already existing command on the gamepad. The Kishi V2, however, also bundles additional remappable buttons, positioned just next to the top bumpers. The Razer Kishi V2 supports passthrough charging, but you'll be relying on a wireless gaming headset or gaming earbuds for audio as there is no output. With passthrough charging and a 3.5mm jack for any headset, life is a little easier here. If you're looking for ease of use and a simple plug-and-play experience, the Backbone One is for you. This is where you're going to have to make some decisions about what's important to you on a daily basis. However, the selection on offer does differ greatly. Winner - Backbone One Backbone One vs Razer Kishi V2: Featuresīoth the Backbone One and Razer Kishi V2 come stocked with a selection of extra features beyond the traditional face buttons and thumbsticks.
One of the only things the Razer Nexus app has going for it is the ability to remap your additional M1 and M2 buttons (the Backbone One relies on native iOS settings for this feature), though you can only map them to existing inputs on the controller. The rest of the main home screen is taken up by recommended games that the Kishi V2 can handle, but this isn't an exhaustive list - you'll still be hunting down compatible titles outside the app. Again, you're able to see your games side by side, but only those loaded in through the Google Play store, and in a strangely low-resolution format.

While game chat, groups, and screenshots aren't going to be the deciding factor for some, their smooth implementation is the cherry on top.īy contrast, the Razer Nexus software feels a little clunky. Keeping all your Xbox (via Microsoft's streaming service), Google Stadia, and iOS titles next to each other streamlines your mobile gaming experience in a way that few other controllers replicate and all in gorgeous high quality. The official Backbone app offers a slick, intuitive interface to genuinely make your smartphone feel like a console. There's no doubt about it, the Backbone One offers superior software over the Kishi V2.
