    I bought this because I wanted a controller for my phone that did not require a Bluetooth connection. I have been using it to play my Xbox games remotely.

    Does pretty well for what it is. Found it to be laggy for me and what I was playing. But think it would do really good for most mobile games.

    All though I purchase this online and my package got stolen! I do recommend buying back bone products because they are the best and I hear a lot of people say the controllers are very cool! It’s cool that you can connect to your phone and have a lot of games to play and that’s the best entertainment! I love games and controllers!

    A good device

    Very good device for both mobile gaming and PS5 remote play. My one grip with the device is that the thumb sticks are a little too small and don't have as much travel distance as a PS5 controller making it seem like it has too much sensitivity. For most games I slide it to the lowest sensitivity for optimal play
