I can thankfully say that theAsusROG Tessen addresses two of those problems for me.

Secondly, the unit is small.

TheRazer Kishi Ultrais a mobile controller designed for comfort, and it’s perfect for players with larger hands.

Connecting your phone could not be easier and youre into the games you want to play within seconds.

The rear paddles at the back are easily mapped thanks to a function button on the front.
