Incredible battery life. Works great with project xcloud emulators Google stadia and much more if you have a phone that's compatible you will not find a better controller or more portable controller than this one.

My boyfriend loves so far. Easy to connect for the most part. Similar to a switch joycon for your phone

For me, this thing is great! I’m a mobile gamer and just got the Razer phone - total cost for everything is $400.00. Now this is not a complete Nintendo Switch replacement which i once owned, but it very close. There are a hand full of mobile games that works well, but this thing really shine is with emulators! I’m playing Goldeneye, God of War Son of Sparta, Peace Walker, and many more. This is for someone who doesn’t want to carry a phone and a Switch or just get both for under $700.00, but the cost of a triple a phone anyway. Since the price of the phone is dropping the controller may come down as well, but Xbox did say thing controller would work with Xcloud, so maybe not. There are cheaper options, but this works well without issue and is backed by a well known company.

This is truly a great gamepad for mobile gaming on your phone. The buttons are in the same place as a xbox controller and feel great. It works perfect on the Xcloud and Xbox stream. It comes with an app so you can use it on games that don't support controllers like COD mobile and any game with on screen controls. Set up is very easy and fast though I did have issues with Xcloud recognizing it as a bluetooth controller. I had to unpair it and pair it again and it started to work right away. I haven't noticed any input delay or anything that would impact game play. They slide in to the phone case just like Joy-Cons on the Switch. The only difference it there is not botten to remove them. Instead they are held in place by a little spring loaded ball that pops in to a dimple on the case. The only thing I can find wrong with it is you have to charge each one separate and the case is very plasticy.

Pros: 1) Bluetooth 5.0 reduces latency even further, meaning less input lag than my Razer Raiju Mobile, and even less than my SN30 Pro+, which has the lowest latency of all of my Bluetooth 4.0 controllers. 2: Case is high quality. Adds EVEN MORE vertical bezel on my Razer Phone 2, which already had a huge bezel, but it makes it more round; feels like a brand new phone now. I love the case. 3: More comfortable than the Switch. I actually gave away my Switch's Joycons because they made my hands fall asleep and the buttons were TOO DANG SMALL. I actually like these, here. More bulky, so it doesn't make my pinky fall asleep. Buttons big enough. Cons: 1) D-Pad on Razer controllers has taken a turn for the worse since the Wildcat. Wildcat had the best D-Pad of any Razer Controller, but the modern Raiju, Wolverine, and Junglecat D-Pads are more sunken-in. The Junglecat LUCKILY is less depressed than the Raiju, so it is somewhat useable, but I don't like the direction they've been taking. 2) Clicky buttons are great when you are alone, but as a mobile controller, you want to not be annoying everyone around you with your button presses. The Junglecat is less loud than the Raiju Mobile and Wildcat, but it is louder than I would want. It isn't SOO bad, but it could be more quiet. 3) The connector for using the two halves as a single controller is... Bad. Might as well throw it away. It should be wider, have hand grips, and perhaps be angled in some way. Luckuly it is more comfortable when held in both hands seperate, than the Joycons are, but OOHHHH boy is the connector terrible. In Conclusion: Overall, I'd say it is worth $100. Better than my Flydigi Wee 2T in every respect, even comfort. Only reason one might consider the Wee 2T is that it has better software and input emulation, plus gyro aiming, but I don't play "Mobile" games, I only play emulators and "Real" games on my phone via Moonlight gamestreaming from my PC.

The Razer Junglecat for Android MY RATING: 🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮 (5/5) Admittedly a bit on the small side (let's just call that maximum portability!), the overall feel in hand and build-quality of the Junglecat is impressive, the buttons have a VERY satisfying click, and the killer-feature: undetectable bluetooth latency!!! ❤❤❤ This controller is rated for about 14ms of lag and I would equate my experience with Minecraft to the accuracy of using a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. This is the king of wireless controller on a device built on Android, which is a known issue for gaming on this platform. As one who prefers to game at home just as much as on the go, this set up is light and portable as well as compatible with the Samsung DeX Station for use on your home monitor/television screen!! This controller comes with pre-built cases for the controllers to slide into place, the Note 9, Razer Phone 2, and S10 Plus. The cases are a hard-plastic and slot securely in place. I cannot deduct points for lack of case support for my Note 10+ as the controller launched first. Here is to HOPING that #Razer creates cases for a more diverse selection of phones post-sale. (Please Razer, I would drop a hard $20 for a Note 10 Plus case, take my money already!!! 🤣) I LOVE my Nintendo Switch. I really do. But as a Minecraft machine, my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 & Razer Junglecat are my new beasts!!

Got a Razer Phone 2 a month ago with no intention of using it for gaming...you can see how long that lasted. While the touch screen controls work surprisingly well, the desire for a controller quickly made itself apparent. If you are shopping for phone controllers you'll know there's not a whole lot of options - most of them cheap, bulky monstrosities. It isn't unusual for Razer to foray into unexplored frontiers with some of their products, and this is no exception. The $100 price tag may seem expensive, but there's nothing else offered that comes close to these things, both in function and quality. Yes, this turns your phone into a switch. Yes, the controllers are better quality than the switch controllers! Seriously, they are as nice as any top-end controller or razer product I've ever laid hands on. As soon as you turn them on they are paired with each other and the phone. The app doesn't seem worth it but the controllers worked flawlessly with QuadTouch and SteamLink, so I'm thrilled. So should you buy these? If you have a phone with a Junglecat compatible case on offer, or really just want a high quality, small size controller, look no further. If you don't have a phone with a Junglecat case, or don't care about having a small controller, you'd be better off with something else.

Absolutely stellar product. I am a heavy pc gamer who streams constantly to my phone on the go. This is hands down the best controller on the market for portability and overall function. If you own one of the supported phones this controller is a no brainer. If you are looking to play android only games don't waste your time and get a cheaper controller, this is only for those who are dedicated. The cases are the only flaw as they do not offer screen or drop protection but I knew that going in and wasn't concerned. There is some wiggle on the controllers when connected to the case(similar but more pronounced then the switch) however it is in no way noticeable when gaming. The buttons are awesome. Real solid click, they are loud but as they should be. Very very satisfying. Overall very well made portable controller and the only one of its kind that has total quality. Pros: Moonlight, steamlink and xbox stream are absolutely flawless. Configurable sensitivity 100 hour battery life Well made Awesome buttons Easy to use fast to connect Sub 12ms delay (my tests 02-08ms) Cons: Buttons can be too loud for complainers Difficulty connecting to PC Needs more case options Better drop protection for case needed Case is slippery to the touch Better more granular configuration options needed Side note: not a con since its not razers fault: PSNOW is not supported as it currently only supports DS4. However the latency if psnow on its own makes it u recommendable to anyone currently imo.

For years, I have been searching for the perfect controller for use with my phones. Many have been good. The 8bitdo line of products in particular stood out. However, they weren't very ergonomic being a design where you mount your phone above the controller. Not to mention 8bitdo and most other mobile controllers aren't Popsocket friendly. Suddenly, in comes Razer with the solution I've needed and then some. Junglecat has changed the way I game on mobile. Touch screen controls kept me from playing ports of many of my favorite games like GTA San Andreas, Stardew Valley, and Xbox gamestream. This controller works seamlessly with all of them, and anything it doesn't work with natively can be adapted with the a built-in, fully customizable overlay that simulates touch input. What's more, it made my phone feel like a Switch to the point that I was reaching for my lock button like it was the Switch's. This is an amazing controller and I hope Razer expands compatibility to more phones. I know my brother would love it, but he doesn't have a Note 9, S10+, or Razer Phone 2. I honestly feel like this could be a game changer for hardcore gamers with busy lives. It has basically turned my phone into an Android powered Switch. It's everything I've wanted and more. The sole downside I have found is that, by virtue of requiring a specialized case, it covers up my nice Dbrand skin. Oh well. I've got games to play.

This is exactly the controller that I hoped the Gamevice would be. Unlike that controller, the build quality good. The buttons are clicky and satisfying like on the Switch, the analog sticks feel and look the same as the Switch (maybe they are the same?), the “joy cons” have almost no wobble on either side, and most of all, it looks pretty. It’s the best experience I’ve had using a controller with my phone. Nitpicks, not dealbreakers: 1) It’s small. Really small. You think the Joy Cons are uncomfortably tiny? This is considerably worse. I have to hold it with the tips of my fingers to get a good angle on the buttons. Using this controller on its own, not physically attached to the phone, would be absolute madness. 2) Each controller must be charged with a separate USB-C cable, bought separately. It’s an awkward design, but the battery life is good. You won’t have to deal with that awkwardness too much. 3) It lacks a Home button. If you’re using Steam Link or Moonlight, you use a button combination for the Home button’s functionality. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either. The bad news: Your phone needs to fit one of the cases to attach the controllers. There’s no other way to do it, and I didn’t fully understand that when I bought it. Yes, you can still use it if your phone is propped up or connected to the TV, but at that point, you should just use a normal controller. It would be absurd to pay $100 for this itty-bitty thing that is lower quality than, for example, a $50 DS4. However, all is not lost if your phone isn’t a Note 9, Galaxy S10+, or a Razer Phone 2. If you’re lucky, it’s possible that one of those cases will still fit. My OnePlus 7 Pro fits in the Note 9 case, for example. The case pushes up against the power button and part of the camera, but that’s nothing a Dremel tool can’t fix. It’s a little bit ugly after being cut, but the gaming experience is worth it. Summary: I highly recommend it for handheld gaming, and I do not recommend it otherwise. If you want to use it for handheld gaming, you must make sure your phone fits one of the cases.
