These things are great. But beware, larger phones are a tight fit. Mine has a 6.7 inch screen and will barely fit (and that's when I remove the phones case). Also, support for this device is atrocious. If you're getting this more for emulators, then you're golden, but I rarely find mobile games that support this. Hope this helps.
You can remove the rubber bumpers instead of taking your case off every time
I completely agree about support being absolutely horrible. I called and chatted with Razer support about my USB-C getting fried by the stock Razer Phone 2 charger. They basically acted like their devices were superior to everything and couldn't possibly fail, though never got back to me after I sent the requested images of burnt port/cable as proof. I've purchased many Razer products over the past few years, but the sad fact is that probably half of the devices I've gotten from them have failed within a few months...and then they never honor the warranties.

Also, consider the *stellar* 1.9-star review rating of the companion app as a good measure of their level of care (or rather, complete lack thereof). Razer obviously doesn't listen to the customers.

Works great for me after I 3D printed a bracket for my Fold 2.

I wonder how well this works with Stadia. The regular Stadia controller works great, but it doesn't hold the phone.
Works well with stadia

The controller was great when it worked. I got one along with the NC Earbuds clearance deal some months back, and a button on the controller was broken within 2 weeks.

I've heard these styles are pretty rough on your USB port. Maybe this one is different somehow, maybe not. Maybe someone with experience can weigh in. I ended up buying a 15 dollar clip from a previous deal that clips to phone and Xbox controller. Works great on gamepass, no clue if it supports emulation.
You're not the first person who has said this and it's a chance I don't think I'm willing to take given how expensive phones are.

Had it for about a year, works great on smaller size phones like pixel 3xl or any phone 6.4 or below. Once you get the big phablet size it tends to pop off if you're in an intense gaming session.

Works great with Stadia and Game Pass, plug and play no problems. Same with emulators

Does NOT work with Genshin Impact, but nothing does on Android so that was a given.

The previous poster was right on the mobile apps though, lots of them just aren't supported at all and it's kinda frustrating. But if your just playing CoD mobile or something like that it should be fine.

I hated this device for basically the same reasons you listed. Horrible support and doesn't work for any mobile games. I bought mine to play games like Genshin impact and it ended up collecting dust.

I got this to play Final Fantasy 7 First Soldier and it works perfect. The build quality is as good as any console controller.

As long as the developer enabled basic Android HID in their app/game, this will work with it.

And of course something like this is a must with emulation.

So, I'm currently using PS4 controller to play emulators and COD mobile. Is it worth it to get Razer Kishi?

picked one up with Amazon locker pickup discount. thinking of leaving a backup phone in there (instead of switching my phone in/out, case a rubber flap on charge port so i assume will be a hassle, cannot take off case). Anyone know what kind of phone (min specs) will suffice for stadia/gamepass/emulators etc)?

In my opinion, no. Only reason to get this is if you need that portability. But a PS4 connected with micro USB basically has no lag and is very comfortable. For me at least.

Micro USB to USB-C? That works? I'll have to try.

Pretty much any phone that's new enough to have USB-C (and therefore compatible with the Kishi) will suffice for Stadia and GamePass. For emulators, it'll depend on what system you're emulating and what level of accuracy you're shooting for.

I think using the Kishi is a better experience. The balance on a phone mounted to a console controller is all off. That said, I have a separate older/cheaper phone that I've dedicated to Kishi use. I don't trust the build quality on this to survive repeated insertion/removal cycles and don't want to ruin my USB-C port, either.

Adding my 3 cents.
If you plan to use this with xbox cloud and/or moonlight (I'll explain what this is later) you want the Xbox version of this controller - as it has a dedicated Xbox button and moonlight sees it as an regular Xbox controller. I'm not sure if non xbox version has the same capabilities, as i don't have one to test.

Controller wise, it's decently built but you doesn't have the tactile feeling of full fledge Xbox controller (duh!). The up facing buttons feel a bit "hard" to press and the triggers are vague on feedback. With that said, once you get used to the controller, these limitations are easy to overlook.

It's very portable, as it collapses on it self, so it promotes carrying it around. I usually carry mine around in my pocket or backpack.
It can be used with most android phones with a centered usb C connector (I use it with S10+ with a spigen case). Non centered usb c connector you'll have to look somewhere else for a controller.
The usb C plug only passes power. I've tried using usb c with 3.5mm adapters for sound, but no dice. You'll have to use the phone speakers or wireless earbuds.
Has barely any lag as it connects via usb C rather than Bluetooth. Draws power from phone so, it doesn't need batteries.

Moonlight is a streaming app that piggy backs from the Nvidea Gamestream protocol. It's free and you can stream almost any game from your Nvidea Gamestream capable pc to a remote device (Windows, Android, etc).
You require a decent wifi connection, and/or good internet connection and add some port forwarding. With it you can do stuff like Breath of the Wild in 4k on your phone. Recipe = Breath of the wild via CEMU emulation on your PC streamed to your phone.
Or playing witcher 3 on you pc, pause and continue playing it on your phone while traveling (assuming you have a good internet connection).
You can play using keyboard + mouse, xbox like controller, or xbox kishi. I'm sure you can use other controllers, but i have not personally tested.

I recommend the xbox version of this controller without hesitation. Got mine since late last year, use it several times a week with samsung earbuds and I'm very happy with it.
