Razer's new Kishi V3 controllers can fit up to a 13-inch iPad

Engadget12-06-2025
Razer has announced its latest lineup of Kishi mobile gaming controllers, capable of housing your phone, small tablet and, in the most comically extreme case, a full-size iPad.
The Kishi V3 Pro XL is seemingly designed for people who like to play games on the largest possible mobile canvas, but don't want to rely on touch controls or just pair a wireless pad. The two sides of the controller stretch out so wide that the V3 Pro XL is able to accommodate a 13-inch iPad Air or Pro, or compatible Android slate of similar proportions, morphing the tablet into a handheld console that makes the Switch 2 look decidedly miniature in comparison.
Take away the "XL" bit and the supersized controller offers the same functionality as the standard Kishi V3 Pro, which is built for USB-C phones and tablets up to 8 inches. Both controllers feature precise anti-drift TMR thumbsticks with swappable caps, dual mouse click-back buttons and claw grip bumpers, as well as Razer's Sensa HD haptics (not currently supported on iOS). Wired and remote play is possible on PC via the Razer Nexus launcher, and you get USB-C passthrough charging built in. There's a 3.5mm headphone jack too if you prefer wired audio.
Rounding out the refreshed lineup is the Kishi V3, which is designed for iPhone and Android handsets. Many of the Pro features trickle down to the streamlined option, including the full-size TMR sticks (without the swappable caps) and back buttons. The USB-C 'island' design of the controller makes it widely compatible with cases, so you don't need to yank yours off every time you want to play a game.
Whatever model you pick up, Razer will give you up to six free months of Apple Arcade, normally priced at $7 per month. Will that soften the blow of the prices for these controllers? Not really. The Kishi V3 costs $100, the V3 Pro is $150, and the V3 Pro XL comes in at a whopping $200, which seems extremely high for a controller add-on for your massive tablet. But if you've been looking for a controller for that very specific use case, Razer has you covered.

NYC woman found a phone buried in her lawn — and police say it's a new tactic thieves use to spy on homeowners

Moneywise and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue through links in the content below. A Queens woman found what looked like a phone buried in her front lawn — but it wasn't just lost property. Mary Kehoe, who's lived in her Forest Hills home for 35 years, spotted the strange device outside. It looked like an Android phone wrapped in black tape, with only the camera exposed — like it was made to watch, not call. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it 'Why us? I had lots of things going through my head as to why they chose our lawn but realized we are in the middle of the block,' Kehoe told CBS. Experts warn that these kinds of planted devices may be part of a growing tactic used by burglars to spy on homeowners, tracking their daily routines or scouting for valuables. And it's not just an isolated case, similar incidents have popped up across the Tri-State Area. Here's how to identify these devices and what to do if one shows up in your yard. Not just paranoia Discovering a hidden device on your lawn isn't just unsettling — it's a serious breach of privacy. Unfortunately, it's happening more often. Police say covert surveillance cases like this are turning up across the country. And the tools being used aren't high-tech spy gadgets. 'It could be any type of camera that is digital and wireless. It could be cheap; it could be expensive,' Sergeant Vahe Abramyan of the Glendale Police Department told the Los Angeles Times. 'You can go on Amazon or go to Best Buy to get one.' That's exactly what happened in Garden Grove, where a resident discovered a camera hidden in a neighbor's bush — aimed directly at her home. According to KTLA, the neighbor initially thought it was trash, but inside the bag was a camera and battery pack. Staying safe With these surveillance tactics on the rise, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your neighborhood. 'Put your alarms on, put lights on, and be aware. And we're a nice little block here that we look out for one another, so when people do go away, they let us know so we can take a walk down their driveway and make sure everything is safe,' Kehoe said. Police recommend trimming hedges to eliminate hiding spots, installing motion-detecting lights and staying alert for camouflaged devices that could be stashed in your yard.

Hassle-free property ownership For homeowners, the threat of a break-in is just one of the many challenges these days. From soaring mortgage and insurance rates to worsening climate disasters, the list is long. And those who purchase properties to generate rental income have to deal with the added headaches of managing tenants. The average American spends roughly $21,400 per year just to maintain a single-family home in 2025, while the median monthly mortgage payment is $2,259, according to data published by Bankrate. And the costs might rise further if the tariffs go into effect in full swing. President Trump's 35.19% duties on Canadian softwood lumber could push the hidden costs of homeownership up. If you are looking to purchase property to convert it into a rental, you could face up to 25% higher insurance as a landlord, according to the Insurance Information Institute. But there's an easier way to own real estate without worrying about the day-to-day challenges. If you have the capital on hand, you can venture into commercial real estate by owning shares of grocery-anchored properties across the country through First National Realty Partners (FNRP). FNRP leases its commercial properties to national brands like Whole Foods, CVS, and Walmart — stores that provide essential goods to their community. The firm has a triple lease structure, which means you can invest in these properties without worrying about tenant costs cutting into potential returns. The best part? FNRP manages every component of the investment life cycle — allowing accredited investors to become landlords without taking on any additional work. FNRP distributes any positive cash flow generated from the properties you invest in through quarterly cash distributions. While investing in commercial real estate might be lucrative, it comes with its own set of challenges. If you want to limit your risk exposure, consider tapping into the $34.9 trillion home equity market with Homeshares U.S. Home Equity Fund. With a minimum investment of $25,000, you can gain direct exposure to hundreds of owner-occupied homes across top U.S. cities — all without the headaches of buying, owning, or managing property. The fund invests in residential real estate markets across the country, offering nationwide diversification. Plus, its built-in 45% downside protection feature further limits risk exposure. With risk-adjusted target returns ranging from 14% to 17%, this approach provides an effective, hands-off way to invest in owner-occupied residential properties across regional markets. If you don't have tens of thousands of dollars to invest in real estate at the moment, you don't have to miss out. Thanks to crowdfunding platforms like Arrived, you can get started with as little as $100. Backed by world-class investors like Jeff Bezos, Arrived lets you access shares of SEC-qualified investments in rental homes and vacation rentals. These properties go through an extensive vetting process, with fewer than 0.2% of reviewed properties meeting their standards. Plus, you can earn returns in two ways: any rental income generated from each property is paid out through monthly dividends, and any property appreciation is paid out at the end of the investment hold period.

'Must-have for outdoor adventures': This solar power bank is at its lowest price ever

Whether you're a hiker, a camper, an off-roader or someone who simply wants some peace of mind during road trips and power outages, the Mregb Solar Power Bank is the insurance you need to keep your devices charged when power outlets aren't readily available. This handy battery pack holds an incredible 42,800mAh worth of charge — enough to fully recharge one device up to four times — and it can be juiced up just by sitting in sunlight. Plus, it has a handy built-in flashlight. Why is this a good deal?💰 Normally $40, this top-rated charging brick is now just $22 — its lowest price yet when you stack the on-page code. That's a steal for a gadget this powerful. Why do I need this? 🤔 You never know when you might need a charge, so it pays to be prepared for power outages and potential emergencies. If a storm hits, your phone is your lifeline — you can receive weather updates, stay in touch with family and even order food delivery in case a tree falls across your driveway (and yes, that has happened. Just warn the delivery driver ahead of time; it kind of scared them.) This power bank makes it easy to charge your phone up from next to nothing. There are two USB ports, so you can charge two devices at once. The Mregb Solar Power Bank even supports fast charging. It also has a flashlight that can work continuously for over 100 hours on a full charge. But the real standout feature is the battery life. At 42,800mAhs, that's roughly four times the average capacity of one of these chargers. The Mregb is rated for more than 1,600 charge cycles, so you don't have to worry about it dying on you anytime soon. What reviewers say 💬 This No. 1 bestseller has nearly 7,500 five-star reviews from satisfied travelers everywhere. Pros 👍 One outdoorsy reviewer calls it an "absolute game-changer for anyone who's always on the go and needs a reliable source of power for their devices. ...It's incredibly convenient to be able to harness the power of the sun to charge my devices, especially when I'm hiking or camping in remote areas. I've never had to worry about running out of battery on my phone or other gadgets." "I took this power bank to the desert for military training. I was able to charge my phone about four times and the solar power was able to replenish the power I used. Through intense heat and banging this device around whether in my bag or the Humvee, this thing proved to be a trooper and still in great condition," wrote one soldier who was impressed by its durability. Another fan shared this anecdote: "Two Saturdays ago we had a massive wind storm that blew through our area with gusts of 60 to 70 mph. It knocked over three large trees on my property and innumerable trees in our region of Ohio. Thousands were without electricity, including us. We didn't have electricity for 30 hours. So of course our cell phones — which were the only things we could communicate to our friends and family with — needed [charging] by the end of the first evening. Because of this power bank, we were able to keep all three of our phones charged." Cons 👎 "The solar panel does work but I would only rely on it in emergencies as it is quite slow," another shopper said. It's not exactly small, but that's not necessarily a negative, according to users. "It feels super bulky so you don't have to worry about it breaking." The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication. If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) Looking for more great Amazon tech deals? Check these out:
