Ratings and reviews

Other then for setting the two extra shoulder buttons it's pretty much useless. I used to have a Backbone and their all integrates with X BOX Game Pass are fast as showing your recent games and stuff. I'm still using the Backbone app with this and it's fine. This hardware however is better than Backbone and that's what really matters. The controller itself, five stars.

Screen mapper needs more flexibility: 1. Use the same key in multiple places on the screen. You can only use one key one time. 2. Key combinations. For example L1+Y for mapping. 3. Not crash frequently (Pokemon UNITE/Nothing Phone 1). 4. Use the MOBA Smart Cast abilities when the move targeting circle goes off-screen: as is, if you target down where it goes off screen it moves erratically to avoid the bottom and jumps up. Will update review as things change/improve, or I have more feedback.

Can't use virtual buttons and touch screen at the same time. Imagine walking with your left joystick while tapping your screen at the same time (to pickup some in-game items for example, or simply moving the point of view by screen touching instead of right joystick). Sadly I'll have to return the Kishi V2 with this reason.
