Score: 64/100
Xbox Wireless Controller Carbon Black
Score: 82/100Rankings
The 2025 Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller in Carbon Black adds a 9-ft USB-C cable, refined ergonomics and the same 40 h battery life, but ships without a rechargeable pack and has occasional quality-control concerns.
The Razer Kishi for Android is a foldable, wired controller that clips onto compatible phones, delivering ultra-low latency and passthrough charging for cloud-gaming enthusiasts. Its compact form and Xbox-style layout are praised, though it lacks a battery, audio jack, and broader game compatibility.
