"A possibly strange suggestion ,and not ideal for some people......

but it MIGHT be possible to contact a maker of one of those 3d printed JUNGLECAT mods, and offet to buy them a case and pay for them to design one specific to that case.

IDK, just an outside the box thought. "


I got an email with the respnse above - hopwever it does not appear on this thread any more...

Unbelievably however I actually did exactly this yesterday before even reading this anyway - great minds think alike!!

I am still awaiting a response!

Ok - so i have had my Razer Phone 2 for a year and a half now. Clearly support has ceased for this device and there are now a few 120hz devices on the market. I was going to go for the S20 until i found out the 120hz was only in FHD and not QHD...i know - idiots.

So i now own a OnePlus 8 Pro and it is absolutely amazing - big step up from the RP2 IMO - AMOLED QHD screen at 120hz is beautiful.

Now - i want to try and make this phone somehow work with the Junglecat ..

I have seen 3D copies of the case for various devices - just the plans - what is the best way to go about making/buying a case that will fit this phone and have the sliders on the side for this controller.

There is no other controller on the market that ticks every box like this does and its just frustrating it hasnt got more cases...

thanks

hi mate

wow this looks amazing - i tried a different one but it didnt work....

if i download the 32 bit one will it work on all games? or do i need both...?

thanks

If your game is 64 bit you need the 64 bit version and vice versa.
It will tell you if you have the correct version, and allow you to download it from the app.
(Place the app in the same directory as your game exe.)
I hear the newer x360ce versions have a central install, and then you pick the games and configs from inside the app.

X360ce is probably the most popular and less buggy of all these types of apps. And it's free.

You know you have done it all correctly, if when you start your game and you hear an extra chime. That's x360ce loading your controller.

Use x360ce
It takes the junglecats keyboard/mouse inputs and wraps it to be used like an Xbox controller in Windows games.

It's a wonderful program.
I've used it for years to allow my OG Shield controller to be used in Windows games. Same concept for Junglecat.

You will need an internet to download a profile (through x360ce) for the junglecat. (probably mine), after that, you can change buttons and settings.

If you can't figure it out, I'll be glad to try and help.

Hi Mate, the only windows device i have that recognises it via bluetooth as a controller is my Razer Blade Stealth - having said that none of the games pick it up. Moonlight game streaming does not pick it up and also i cant map all the buttons either - even if i use the SDL2 gamepad tool

When i connect it via cable nothing happens - i think this is for charging only.

If anyone else has got this to work on windows please help and detail how....many thanks

I hope RP1 is also on the list.
I think RP1 and RP2 are quite similar. The only difference is the back camera. I'm wondering maybe it worth a try to buy it and manually cut the hole (or just ignore the back camera).
Would there be any plan to support RP1 in the future?



I think you should try it because I don't think that it's only the camera that makes the difference but if it is then you got something that is brand new

When the gbinsta latstet version coming?

I'm an RP1 user and I would like to see how much I could Flimslelu DIY to make it works for me.
I really think they should support more phones from the beginning.


Bro - the fact it doesnt support the RP1 out the box is a massive let down - its their own phone ffs - its almost like a middle finger to their loyal fans

I wanted to ask the same question....i think this is made to fit pretty much any phone as it extends....I would be interested to see if it extends enough to fit a 10 inch tablet in between,,,,,that would be nice :)

UK release date unknown atm


It's more about the blockiness of the RP that worries me. The kishi looks like it's tailored more for rounded off phones and that makes me think it won't fit.

I don't think there's a concrete date right now. Most of these concepts from CES usually don't really for a while after.

I'm still trying to get info if the Razer Phones will even fit in it as I have my doubts looking at it.

Yeah loads if peeps already complaining about this including me from day one. There is also no passthrough to charge while you play, plus the case is proper lame so using the case daily will take a design hit which defeats the purpose...

Doed anyone know whem this new one, the kishi comes out in UK??

The bundled RP2 case has no cut out for the Razer RGB logo. That really remove every incentive of buying it for the RP2.

I do have the shield k1 (rooted) but I think the mapping thing is built in. I can look around inside it for you, though.

Also,
Has ANYONE successfully connected this junglecat controller to windows PC and used it to play games? (Not through Xbox app, just regularly)
None of my games "sees" it.
It connects to Bluetooth but that's it. I also tried using x360ce, but no profiles available for it.
Chat support was NO help. They said connect it to phone then phone to PC using cable with PC Bluetooth on.
Uh, that didn't work! And honestly didn't make sense.
Support couldn't even tell me if this is a directinput or xinput device.


Any clear help is appreciated!!! Especially since this is advertised as working on mobile AND PC.
(WIN 10)
Games tried were: Control, Metro Exodus and Batman Arkham City.

hey buddy - i have been using the Octopus plugin and it works so well for every game except COD. it gets me banned for an hour or so.....but i thought they ban use of all overlays? or maybe their servers are not gearded to detect the Nvidia one?

Have you got a link to the APK file?

PSA. DO NOT use junglecat gamepad app with octopus plugin! Not even with it simply installed!

Octopus plugin gets YOU BANNED like a redheaded step child. I just got banned from cod mobile for launching it from gamepad app. ONLY ONCE. FOR ONE MATCH.

Nvidia shield overlay/controller mapper DOES NOT GET YOU BANNED.

yes the Junglecat works very well....there doesnt seem to be any lag with it either (not that i notice) and i like how small and compact it is.

To me there would not be much reason to buy this new one (Kishi) ATM ...however i do like the fact they have moved the right analogue down as thats where i like it (usually play with Xbox One controller).

I dont think the Kishi looks very "Razery" either....just looks like a generic universal controller you can find all over Amazon...I think the buttons need to be more Razer-esque


I prefer aligned joysticks than offset because I am mainly a PS gamer, but unfortunately the jungle cat doesn't work with ios. I agree the look of the Kishi isn't as flashy as some other Razer designs, but I'm fine with that as long as it feels good and is responsive. I'll make my judgement when I can finally touch the thing.

It seems you aren’t alone in the situation. Fortunately there’s probably lots of people who would take your jungle cat off your hands if you decide to switch over to the Kishi. I hope you are still enjoying your jungle cat, at least.

Seriously FFS....if i knew this was comimg I wouldn't have wasted money on the Junglecat.....this looks much better because a) its universal and b) you dont need to use the crap case Razer provide with the Junglecat....I have a feeling as well, that as its actually plugged in to the phone you can also power the phone through it so not to lose charge.....this was a design fault of the Junglecat IMO

Also i wonder if you can still use the USB audio while gaming.....another design fault of the Junglecat

I use the JungleCat daily but will definitely be looking to add the Kishi as soon as its released.
