Was really disappointed the more I learned about this. And I'll say it looks awful too, something an 8 year old would design. But, I don't play my playstation nearly as much as I'd like simply because it's not portable like my switch. Maybe this will be the kick I need to play my PS games more and for $200, it's pretty affordable. Might as well give it a try.

You can just buy the backbone for 100 bucks and do exactly what this thing does on any mobile device. Or buy this clip for the controller that holds your phone on top of it for 20. I went with the backbone and I'm pretty happy with it.

I mostly agree with this, but I don't think I'd enjoy playing with a clip + controller combo and I'd really love to use a backbone if they made one that fit my phone.

There's other backbone-like controllers that do though, so I may give that a shot.
