What you need to know

  • Razer launched the Junglecat, a new mobile gaming controller.
  • The Junglecat can be used like a traditional gamepad, or attached to a phone case for a select set of Android phones.
  • You can buy the Junglecat now for $100 at Razer.

Razer today launched the Junglecat, its take on a mobile gaming controller for your phone. And if you're familiar with the Nintendo Switchs Joy-Cons, the Junglecat will look very familiar.

The Razer Junglecat is compatible with both Android smartphones and tablets, as well as Windows PCs. The controller can work in two modes: as a traditional controller or attached to a special phone case.

When used as a traditional controller, the two sides of the Junglecat remain attached to a central piece that makes them look a lot like the Switch's gamepad. You can remove either one or both sides of the controller to attach them to an included phone case, turning your phone into a handheld game console on the fly.

The included cases for the Junglecat are limited to the Razer Phone 2, Samsung Galaxy Note 9, and Samsung Galaxy S10+ in the U.S. In the rest of the world, the cases cover the Razer Phone 2, Huawei P30 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S10+.

The Junglecat connects to phones and PCs over Bluetooth and charge up to 100 hours of use over USB-C. You'll find everything you'd expect from a normal game controller here, including twin analof sticks, bumpers, a d-pad, and four action buttons. There's also a dedicated Razer Gamepad app on Android, which lets you tweak button mappings, thumbstick sensitivity, and more.

Update November 5, 2019: Turns out that the Junglecat is already compatible with the Project xCloud game streaming preview for Xbox, for those taking part. Pretty neat!

So, turns out the @Razer Junglecat ALREADY works with Project xCloud... turning your phone into an #Xbox Nintendo Switch. Game changer for me.

My thoughts on Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord after 170 hours in sieges

I've poured more than 170 hours of my time into Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, but it still doesn't feel anywhere close to a complete game. There are some solid foundations but if you're waiting for a finished experience, you'll need to continue sitting on the sidelines for now.

Review: Rain on Your Parade is a charming way to mess up people's days

If you're looking to cause mischief and love laughing at typical video game tropes, then Rain on Your Parade is the game for you. This game is perfect for killing a few hours thanks to its mix of simple gameplay and ridiculous story-telling. Plus, it's on Game Pass!

Review: AMD's impact on Surface Laptop 4 (15") makes a big difference

Surface Laptop 4 gets a significant boost in performance thanks to AMD Ryzen R7, but there are also many qualifications to that statement. While it's easier to recommend the 15-inch 2021 model, Microsoft could still do better with this series. Here is what we think of Surface Laptop 4 with AMD (15-inch) after using it for the last week.
