Genshin Impact Compatibility with Razer Kishi on iOS

Today, another announcement came from Razer stating that their universal mobile gaming controller for iOS "Razer Kishi" is now compatible with Genshin Impact.

Razer Kishi provides analog clickable thumbsticks and ultra-low latency response to play games on mobile devices without the need to touch the screen for intensive gameplay.

It can be attached to any iPhone and provides a comfortable grip to enjoy the gameplay without compromising controls. The following attachment shows the announcement from Razer.

Genshin Impact has not clarified any information about controller support on Android yet. Although players have found different methods to use controllers with manual key mapping in their Android devices, it is against Genshin Impact's fair play policy.

The game does not allow third-party modifications in the game files or controls. It is just a matter of time before developers add controller support for Android devices. Till then, players are recommended to refrain from key mapping with third-party software to use controllers.

Admittedly, he spent an unhealthy amount of time playing Call of Duty 2 and Need For Speed; so much so that he still plays at least the campaign side of new releases. These days, he prefers RPGs like Halo and GTA Vice City. His Main Character Syndrome perfectly aligns with Tommy Vercetti or Masterchief, and he’d love to live their in-game lives.

Besides gaming, Soumya loves chess, fitness, and urban and portrait photography.
