    Very recommended if you like remote play and you can play some mobile games. Tje best thing is that you can charge your phone thru your backbone and use wited earphones.

    Controller was great! I used it with my iPhone 14 Pro Max and was able to play cloud games flawlessly. Also came with apple arcade for a month and the games where pretty cool!

    Makes playing games way easier than connecting a controller with a phone clip. Has similar ergonomics to the Nintendo switch.

    Decent product. Feels a bit too lightweight for me and I’m not a fan of the way it feels in my hands at all. Works well on the other hand, but I had to retrain because it does not work with my case on my phone.
