Nifty Product
I considered getting the other controller with the screen already built in - but this product is just that, but with your phone! I think it's pretty nifty! Also there was a great deal when I bought it (it was like $10-20 off on sale) and I used two gift cards and ending up buying it for a whooping $70 :D The staff was so patient with me and knowledgeable and I'm grateful they led me to a great product!

It's a great time for mobile gaming!!!!
Using this with my iPhone 15 Pro Max could NOT be any easier. Just download the app and you're all set. Works with my case too! I've been using this mostly for emulators like Delta and PPSSPP and it works perfectly. I wish there were a couple programmable buttons for emulation purposes but for what its trying to accomplish, it nails it.
