    I love it . It keeps me wanting to play games just enough I like the way it’s easy to use and connect to other platforms on the app once you plug the phone right in the usb connection .

    This thing is pretty cool, the concept is awesome, however, I couldn't find many games that it worked with it (that were good or at least cheap/free). I think I also unknowingly messed up by getting this black one instead of the white Playstation version, because it has issues when it comes to playing remotely from my PS4. Going to see if they let me trade it in and hope the other one is better. The adapters definitely seem like a great add-on too by the way, just a little difficult to change them due to strong magnets.

    The 2nd generation is quite a bit better than the first generation. The main benefit is your phone will fit with a very slim case. That is convenient if you don't have a case that slides on and off very easy.

    This is a must have to game in on your phone. However I feel the subscription that’s optional is a rip off.

    Works great with Google Play games and if you have a wired ethernet connection for your PS5, the remote play will work pretty well. Got this when it was $70 dollars.
