“Why don't you just use a controller with your phone?”

If I have to remove a case, that's a dealbreaker.

The worst part about games that are in the app store specifically is that a ton of them don't even offer controller support as an option.

Cell phone controllers being more expensive than console controllers will always be funny to me.

I took a phone I no longer use for calling and what not, bought a Gamesir G8 controller, setup a frontend on the device, and now it's a portable gaming handheld for when I go somewhere and I can just play a lot of games on the go without having to lug around some consoles and handhelds.

Been using a Gamesir X2 Pro with an S23 Ultra for over a year, it takes less than ten seconds to attach. Works flawlessly, and the phone can emulate anything pretty much.

I have a Chinese controller [BSP D9] that natively mimics the signal of PS, Xbox, and switch controllers. So, it's perfect for remote play. I recently got an Android phone [Redmagic 9 Pro] specifically for emulation with Dolphin and Yuzu. This setup allowed me to play Nintendo games for the first time, and it has been serving me great. I never take the Android phone or the mobile controller out of the house, so the bulkiness is not an issue for my use case. But in general, mobile [emu] gaming has never been better!

Probably should've mentioned that Game Pass and Geforce Now will also run just fine with your phone using these devices. In fact, the original Kishi had a version specifically branded with Xbox controller buttons so that it could be used with Game Pass. It works surprisingly well, too.

Back in 2018 or so 14 year old me played Mario kart 64 on my pixel on the plane with my Bluetooth controller and lemme tell you that was freaking amazing

This thing cost the same price as the new nothing phone 🥶

The problem with using your phone as a gaming device is that it's also the same device you use for making calls and getting important texts. So it's kind of hard to do both without worrying you might miss something important while you play.

love the dsi background music at the start 😩🤌✨

There was a company that released a Joy-Con grip that can also hold a phone in landscape mode. It was designed for the Nintendo Switch Online app, which only began to support landscape mode within the last year.

Controller on phones are pointless when 99% of developers refuses to add controller support. Around year 2010 there were a lot of games with controller support, and it went downhill after that.

Razer finally learned that offset controls are more comfortable than vertical joycon layout

Other pluses of the Backbone is that the triggers are analog, the and you can plug a usb-c cable into the passthrough port and connect the other end into any device and it will work as a wired controller. So if you travel with other, larger devices, you can still use the same controller.

I understand why it's required, but it kind of sucks having to remove and reinsert your phone from its case every time you use one of these devices.
