GoKawiilRazer launches $100 Prio controller that folds pocket-size for phones
Razer introduced the Prio, a $100 USB-C mobile game controller that weighs about 101 grams and folds down to roughly wallet size, unlike its bulkier Kishi line. When unfolded, it attaches to large phones such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Galaxy S26 Ultra, offering dual thumbsticks, a D-pad, face buttons and shoulder triggers for both iPhone and Android devices.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The launch arrives as dedicated gaming consoles keep climbing in price amid a memory-chip shortage, with the Switch 2, Xbox Series X and PS5 all seeing recent hikes. A compact, affordable controller like the Prio gives budget-conscious gamers a cheaper way to get console-style play using hardware they already own—their phone.
- Razer's Prio folds to pocket size and weighs about as much as a bar of soap.
- It costs $100, connects via USB-C, and works with large iPhones and Android flagships.
- Its release coincides with major console price increases driven by memory shortages.
Razer Kishi Ultra Mobile Controller — If the pocketable Prio has you thinking about phone gaming, the Razer Kishi Ultra is the full-size sibling worth a look, clamping your phone into a console-style grip with dual thumbsticks, a D-pad and shoulder triggers over USB-C. It turns your handset into a proper handheld for cloud streaming or native mobile titles.
