    It's worked for all of the games I've tried regardless of platform. It's been a good so far. I don't like the gaps when connecting the device to it. It will have a little space on it. My case doesn't work with it, expected but bummer

    Great accessory for my phone. Links directly to my ps5 so I can play remotely from anywhere as long as there is service or wifi. Would recommend for any person who wants to play their system on the go.

    Works great with the iPhone 15 Pro Max [you'll need to swap the plastic side guards for the bigger phone, which was a bit of an annoyance... hence the star off. Joysticks feel good, if a bit tight... but I REALLY like how tight the buttons feel on this thing. So much so I really kinda wish I could get a PS controller for my PC with the same feel [they almost have a tactile mechanical feel, which I love] So far it's been mostly Dead Cells on my phone... and for a portable gaming device, it works. I haven't used this with my PS5 at all, mostly because I don't think FFXIV would go over well on a mobile phone, but as a standalone device for new phones that have almost as much power as the OG M1 mac? Not too shabby ^^

    It’s good, light and easy to use device that does its job. The main problem is ergonomics. Especially if you have larger hands. Handles lack of thickness and not very comfortable to use for longer sessions.

    I was dead set on getting a Playstation Portal, because that was the official Sony product and I always want to buy the official thing. However, after the urging of a few friends, since I couldn't find the Portal anywhere, I picked this up instead. It hooks directly into my iPhone and lets me play not only my PS5 on my phone, but Game Pass games as well. The remote is super high quality, and requires ZERO charging. There are adapters in the box for different shapes and sizes of phones. The version I purchased will hold an iPhone 15 Pro Max without a case on it. There may be some cases it will work with, but mine is just a tad too big.

    works great. very easy to set up and use. the only downside, there is no track pad available. so if you are using the playstation remote, just remember you wont have access to the trackpad.

    Extremely ergonomic. I was playing emulators with touchscreen controls, and I didn’t realize how much I needed this. The buttons have a nice click to them and the triggers are very responsive. The app compiles all your games that have controller support into one area, and it even suggests more from the app store or other cloud gaming services. You need the app for an initial configuration, but after that it’s plug and play. There’s no difference between the playstation branded one and the regular one, just the color. I got this one to match my PS5.
