Razer has announced the Razer Prio, a foldable mobile gaming controller for iPhone and Android users who want something more pocket-friendly than Razer’s bulkier Kishi-style pads.
Folded up, the Razer Prio measures roughly 107mm x 67mm x 23mm and weighs 101g, based on Razer’s specs. Open it, and it clamps onto phones up to 7 inches, including larger models like the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Razer also says most cases should be able to stay on.
The feature set is still pretty packed. You get dual thumbsticks, a 4-way D-pad, face buttons, bumpers, triggers, and a Cortex Mobile shortcut. Razer also says the Prio uses capacitive contactless sticks to help cut down on wear and stick drift, along with quiet tactile buttons and USB-C power straight from your phone, so there’s no battery inside and no Bluetooth pairing to deal with. It also supports cloud gaming and remote play through services like Xbox Cloud Gaming, GeForce Now, PlayStation Remote Play, and Steam Link. Early coverage does point to one missing extra, though: there’s no passthrough charging.
If you want a controller you can actually keep in your pocket and carry every day, the Razer Prio does look tempting. Still, the $99.99 price tag, or AU$169.95 in Australia, isn’t small, and the unanswered questions around hinge durability, along with cheaper rivals, could make some people stop and think.
You can buy the Razer Prio from Razer for iPhone and Android phones.
