Frequently Asked Questions
Which iPhone models does the Kishi actually fit?
The Kishi is confirmed compatible with iPhone X, 11, and 12 series via its Lightning connector. Its stretchy clamp design accommodates different phone sizes within that range, but if you're on a newer iPhone 13 or 14 series, verify compatibility before purchasing, as Lightning-based controllers are limited to pre-USB-C iPhone models.
Why does this have zero latency compared to Bluetooth controllers?
Because it connects through the Lightning port directly rather than over wireless. Bluetooth introduces a small but measurable input lag — typically 8–30ms — that you feel as a slight disconnect between button press and on-screen response. A wired Lightning connection bypasses that entirely, which matters in fast-reflex games.
Can I charge my phone while using the Kishi?
Yes. There's a built-in Lightning passthrough port on the controller itself, so you can plug in a charging cable while the Kishi is attached and gaming. You won't have to choose between a long session and battery life.
What games and services work with the Kishi?
The Kishi works with Apple Arcade, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Amazon Luna, Steam Link, and most MFi-certified games. Any game with controller support on iOS should recognize it automatically — no pairing or driver setup required.
This is listed as Renewed — what does that mean for reliability?
Renewed (refurbished) means the unit has been tested, inspected, and certified to function like new. Functionally you should experience the same performance as a new unit, though cosmetic wear may be present. It typically comes with a limited warranty through the seller.
