    Great controller for the mobile gaming scene, however there lacks any real games other than a few lackluster shooters, and rpg's. In my opinion, I'd wait to buy it until more games are released that have controller support on android. (I believe apple has a lot more better quality games)

    If you are interested in remote play with your ps4/5 and dont want to spend 200 on ps portal than this is for you. One negative is the small thumbsticks and the placement of them are not ideal other than that works as advertised.
