    I no longer need to take my Playstation on trips with me. Even in the car on a mobile hotspot it works quicker than youd expect. Being able to play my phone games is a huge plus too

    Worked good. Some connection issues. If you leave the app and go back in it doesn’t work without closing and reopening.

    If your a person who likes to play Playstation all the time but wanna keep the gameplay on your phone this is definitely the item to get. Feels like a PS4 Controller, i believe you can use this for the PS5 using PS remote.

    I had the v1 for iPhone before upgrading my phone and I had to pick up the new v2. It's one of if not the best phone controller devices out there. It even supports vibration!

    This started out working great but within 2 months, my Samsung Galaxy 23 Ultra did an update and now the phone will not recognize it. I do not blame the device itself. Ive done everything ive read on forums to fix it and nothing so now I have a very expensive psper weight sitting around.

    This controller is by far the most comfortable mobile controller I’ve tried, connect it with a modern android and you’ve got yourself an really nice gaming or emulation machine.
