last night razer had a big event announcing a bunch of upcoming hardware including two new Razer laptops and their Razer - phone which is supposed to offer the best gaming experience of Abel on mobile with a hunt wente Hertz refresh rate awesome colors lighting and great speakers but it's actually a peripheral tight into the Razer - phone that I'm really interested in and that's the Razer Ryu mobile now if you're not familiar with them the ratio controllers are razors line of traditionally pro controller options on the ps4 the grease to the original razor I drew quite a few years ago and more recently they released newer versions the tournament Edition and Ryu ultimate and this controller design seems to be very heavily based on the tournament design it offers a lot of the same features and functions but some new things as well that make it specifically fitted for mobile phone use so what exactly does this controller get you over other mobile phone options well first off this is a full-fledged gaming controller there's a lot of mobile options out there that are focused on trying to be also portable or pocket-sized or some kind of way to make it conveniently portable not in this case this is focused on being like a real controller which is going to give you a much more comfortable experience now like I said the rise of mobile is based primarily on the termination rise u controller for ps4 first let's talk about a bunch of features that are somewhat standard across a logic pro controllers but the rise u does really well to begin with it has a great crypt design really comfortably use over a long period of time and it does feature for remappable buttons giving you a little more customization over how you can control gains now two of those buttons are located on the lower back side of the controller so you can reach them with the fingers you're using to grip it really easy and comfortable to use and there's two additional ones that are on the top of the controller kind of inside and in between where the triggers are just requiring you to reach over a little bit to grab them all four buttons are really easy and comfortable to reach though so they give a lot more options on how to control your games it also features adjustable triggers there's the little switch you have to flip on the back of the controller which allow you to either have a traditional full pull trigger or a short stop quick trigger now one more uniquely razer features that this controller has and is honestly one of my favorite aspects of the riser line controllers is their Meccano tactile buttons basically they have a different button designed to use for the floor front facing as well as for some of the programmable buttons that gives it this very sort of mechanical switch feeling you'd have from like a keyboard and it's really satisfying it makes it super simple to do things like really fast button presses if you ever have to just mash a button repeatedly it is so much easier on this style of button versus a more traditional controller design and I'm not gonna lie there's also just something very oddly satisfying about the sound of that little click now all these features so far are things that are shared with the tournament edition riser controller that they have for ps4 but where things get more uniquely different for the mobile is instead of having the touchpad that you would have for a ps4 controller it's replaced by a phone grip now this is an adjustable home grip that is designed to work with a variety of different phones obviously the razor to phone is the hook they're gonna want you to use but the controller is designed to work with any Android phone that is working off of Android 6.0 or above and you can connect it either wirelessly while it's in the vise grip which is really simple it makes a nice clean look or if you'd rather a wired connection you can plug it directly into the phone with a short USBC cable now along with being able to fit a variety of different sized phones the Vice is also designed to tilt up to six degrees upwards so that way you don't have to play where you have the controller like this and the phone just straight above it you're able to hold the controller in a more natural position where it's leaned more forward now the hands-on experience I did have was not with a final version of the riser mobile it is a prototype one but one of the last ones before the full production models so it's very close to the final experience and it's shaping up to be really nice all the buttons feel really snappy the grip like I said is super comfortable and I think the overall just designed being based on the termination but adapting it for mobile phones works out really great now as for pricing and availability not everything is fully set in stone just yet they have said they're going to be releasing the phone in the holiday of 2018 so it is on its way very quickly you can order through razors website and they're gonna make it available worldwide as well and I'll be riding at an MSRP of a hundred and fifty dollars now if you're not used to pro controller 100 bucks sounds like a ton of money and it is but that's really the kind of standard allow these pro controllers one for once again this is basically the same design as their term edition on ps4 it offers a lot of the same functions and quality but reams towards mobile and that's how much those run for as well it's expensive but you get what you pay for
