Razer Junglecat Dual-Sided Mobile Game Controller for Android: Modular Design - 100 Hr Battery Life - Bluetooth Low-Latency - Compatible w/Razer Phone 2, Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10+

Bought this on sale to use with an old phone for emulation. Really nice and clicky mechanical buttons. My only issue is that the triggers are not analogue and are the worst feeling buttons on the whole controller. For the price, it's a pretty neat little switch-like controller! The setup was easy, too.

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.

I bought this thinking with as much knowledge as I had assumed this company should hold that it would simply work; sadly this was not the case. I thought it would have an actually usable case with solid protection, and preferably show the RGB logo on the back, and be able to be used on my Razer phone 2 or my PC with ease. I envisioned an amazing product where I would leave a decent case on my phone and throw the controller in my bag and then either use it with my PC or pull separate and put on my phone for some light mobile gaming.Sadly... none of these things were the case, it works well 80% of the time on android and 0% of the time on PC. The case is a very cheap plastic that feels like it could snap if left in your bag without your phone in it, and the controller pieces have a jagged angular point along the edge that is uncomfortable to hold.Depressing disillusion....Note to Razer (not that they'll take the advice):Release drivers to make this product actually work with PC.Put a triangular cut-out in the back to show the RGB logo. (example: https://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Extreme-Protection-Rugged-Metallic/dp/B07K73P7NX). Alternatively, provide a pair of rails someone could attach to a good case such as this.

The Nintendo Switch like controllers slide only on 3 cases that come already in the box with it.the 3 cases fit only the following phones respectively: Galaxy Note9, Razer Phone 2, and Galaxy S10 Plus.- My Galaxy S9 Plus had a snug fit into the Galaxy S10 Plus case, but it was as much effort as an R3 press for most Xbox controllers. Just make sure to slide out Junglecats before removing phone from case to avoid damage. (just being cautious.)The Junglecat controllers have a thunderbolt port on each at the bottom when you hold them, and next to each thunderbolt port is a tiny power switch that you can tell is on because of the green color base part of the power switch.Built quality was really nice hard plastic, I'd compare them to a really nice 100$ keyboard.. anyways it's hard but you know its still plastic, premium feel. The cases don't feel as hard tho they're about a 6 or 7 in comparison.What came in the box: Controllers, a plastic slider holding the two together, 3 phone protectors listed above, and a small manual with razer stickers that you can stick probably on your dog. really nice looking box feels like I got a new Nintendo Switch.Downloaded the app in the Google Play store typing "Razer Gamepad".Sync/pair your Razer Junglecat L and Razer Junglecat R prior to launching Gamepad.Gamepad let me list on/off other apps that were games, so when I tried launching something like minecraft it asked permissions to be allowed for Gamepad to have its functions and then it prompted to sync to my other Google Play Center stuff for smooth play but when I said yes it wanted to ask for access for my pictures, my health app, my location, even my contact list and phone functions. each came in the form of 3 options and i denied all of them because in logic I think I don't need it to access my aunt's number to play minecraft.But then the gamepad would crash or go green screen with nothing loading, I could go back to home but the app was like frozen. so I hold app down, i select app info, it let me set permissions on it to on but i didn't enable the other things still. I launched the gamepad app and it started working and asking to download an APK from the browser called Octopus, so I installed it and I think it also wanted the same access to all my things haha, of course I said no.- So now that I open Gamepad and launch another app from the library I made, I open Minecraft and 3 options and a Play button are displayed. (Play as game is meant to be, Custom controls, and something they preset.) I select Play as its meant and then click Play. Launching me into the game with full functionality now.But I kept getting prompts that Gamepad stopped being connected or something and gave me 3 options. (Exit, Wait, and Info) basically. when I click wait everything goes back to normal asap but the prompt came back every 8 seconds or so. maybe it just wanted to make sure analog sticks were in use because I didn't get as many prompts with the joy sticks in use.The Junglecat is great if you wanted to play full PC games listed on Nvidia GeForce Now App. Tried it on Tekken 7 and it's great, I just don't think I'm doing something right since I get the prompts regardless. maybe if I fix it I'll update this review, or maybe when an update comes out.Date: 05-12-2020As long as I don't select sync with Google Game Center or whatever, the controls work fine and no prompts tell me loss of sync, everything works as intended so far. the analog sticks don't feel as smooth as xbox controllers but its a better step from not having anything at all!
