    I bought this to use as my controller while outputing the video of my Legion Go to my large screen TV and it works well. I was a little bummed that this "core" kit does not come with a case or any of the extra metal buttons but i can always buy them later if I feel I need them. This kit does cone with a very long USBC braided cable.
