Got this for someone as a gift and they love it. The only thing that is off putting is that in order for it to work well with no lag you have to have really really good WiFi. If you have amazing WiFi and a ps5 I would say to get this but if you don’t have $200 but want something like this the backbone works just as well.

Wasn’t sure at first about purchasing it but it was better than I expected.

Pros:
- The most ergonomic controller for remote play available. Very comfortable to hold and use for extended playing sessions.
- Battery life is good
- Screen quality is great though with minor caveat (see cons)
- Overall build quality is good
- Reasonably priced
Cons
- In the current firmware build, does not has the ability to turn on Playstation remotely (can only wake from rest mode)
- In the current firmware build, does not support game streaming.
- While the screen is great, but the screen finish is prone to reflection. I recommend using a screen glare resistant screen protector.
- The analog stick is a bit more sensitive/loose than the standard DualSense, may take some getting used to.
- Depending on the game and your network connection, may have minor delays/lags during gameplay (for me personally it was very minor).
- If you are away from home, you will not be able to remote play physical games without the disc already in the PS5 console.
Verdict - Recommend for those that would like to play PS5 around the house or remotely, especially for parents that needed to take care and watch the kids around the house. Despite the minor the cons, this is overall a very solid device.

Works perfect! No complaints here. Really enjoying it!

It’s good at what it does. It allows you to play games on your PS5 when you’re not sitting in front of the TV next to your PS5. (Yes you NEED a PS5 also to use this).
My biggest gripe, it does NOT support Bluetooth headphones. Hope you have an old RCA headphone or the new proprietary headphone / earbuds from Sony.
Other than that, I haven’t noticed any meaningful lag, but I have been playing this in my house, so, make what you will of that. Oh, and I was unable to edit how the touch screen works, I have to tap it twice for it to operate the Touch Bar on the PS5 controller. I would have loved to change it to one touch, maybe I’m missing something.
Final thoughts, if you’re a tech junky like me, I recommend getting it, otherwise, don’t. Wait for something that can play games natively and also support PS Remote, like the PS Vita that had its own games and it also let me remotely connect to the PS4 to play games when I was away from home.

I was a little skeptical on this but it is awesome! All you need is Wifi & you can play any game that is downloaded on your PS5! Only downside, if i had to pick one is that you cannot bluetooth your headset & the speakers are not that great.

To get the best out of this device you need 2 things:
1. PS5 plugged into your router via Ethernet.
2. Good wifi signal.
In my experience, you can play most games at full speed without any issues. It's great for 3rd person action games, RPGs, platformers, etc. I assume twitchy online shooter games are less-good compared to just playing them on a console. But this is a streaming device, not a portable console.
The screen is nice and big - a big win if you're used to playing/streaming games on your phone.
The controller itself is basically all the same tech from the DualSense controller. Your hands might get uncomfortable after a long play session. Not sure if that's from the added weight of the device or the ergonomics of the device itself.
It takes USB-C and has a headphone port, which is more than you can say about most devices nowadays.
People like to compare this to handheld computers that cost much more and take much more work to set up PS5 streaming. This is a no-frills streaming device that works right out of the box. It doesn't promise to offer more than that.

I hate that i like this and it works well. I cant wait until they have a legitimate portable player rather than just a streaming device - its very dependent on having a perfect wifi signal. however, when it works, it works great!

If you don’t have one, you must buy one for your kids. They’re awesome for traveling.
