Razer has introduced the new Kishi V3 Pro XL, a $200 controller that can fit a 13-inch iPad or Android tablet with a USB-C connector. This controller is the largest and most expensive among Razer's three new controllers, all featuring TMR sticks.

The Kishi V3 Pro XL stands out for its ability to accommodate big tablets, such as the 10.9-inch iPad Air, providing an enjoyable gaming experience with its large screen and impressive speakers. In addition to this key feature, the controller shares design improvements with the smaller Kishi V3 options in the lineup, such as the V3 and V3 Pro.

All controllers in the Kishi V3 series come with full-size TMR joysticks that use magnets for inputs, ensuring they are not prone to stick drift. The controller grips are ergonomically designed with an etched texture for a secure hold. The Kishi V3 Pro XL also features configurable macro buttons and supports haptics on Android devices or when connected to a computer via USB-C cable.

Despite some limitations due to Apple's App Store policies, the Kishi V3 Pro XL offers a great gaming experience when paired with an iPad. It is compatible with services like GeForce Now and Razer's PC Remote Play, providing good visual quality and low latency for an enjoyable gaming session.

When paired with an iPad Air, the Kishi V3 Pro XL setup weighs about 1.7 pounds, making it slightly heavier than other handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck OLED and the Xbox ROG Ally handheld. While it may be a bit cumbersome to hold with one hand, it offers a comfortable two-handed experience for extended gaming sessions.

Compared to other controllers like Backbone's Pro controller and the GameSir G8 Plus, the Kishi V3 Pro XL stands out for its ability to accommodate larger tablets while providing a seamless gaming experience.
