The 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller.

What it looks like when combined with a 6.95-inch broken phone.
(I think 7-inch is the limit, 7 inches is just too big.)
build quality is nice, hall effect controllers which I don't know what that is.
It's bluetooth and internal battery operated, so it will likely sink a submarine so don't use it for something important.

This is a screenshot from my phone.
(you can notice the phone ui at the top and at the right )
@solumviz, this game does look nice. Need For Speed 2015.

This is how it looks on the pc.
same same, but different.

It gets detected in windows as a gamepad.
BUT legacy xinput and dinput doesn't work properly.
It does however work with SteamInput and Emulators.
(So as long as you can configure it in steam, it will work with steam games.)
(emulator works because the keys of the controller are recognized so you can assign them.)

But in the end, the reason you'll get this is to play emulated games on your very strong phone.
( it doesn't work on my entry level phone obviously! )

But meh. let me just enjoy having a Steam Deck-like hardware.

Sort:  

I told you so haha.

Some people applied mods on it to take the graphics to a whole new level. Although I won't be able to do that on a ps5 🥹.

By the way, which emulator are you using to play it on mobile? Is it geforce now ?

YYeah, it's really nice. can't see the streets because it's too dark though. 😆

oh no, i'm not using an emulator. i'm using a stream client. 'steam link'
streams my pc to my phone.

as for emulator, like really emulating pc on android, that's either gamehub or winlator.

Dark areas= less work to make it more pretty haha.

Is nfs unbound any good bro? I saw that only payback and unbound have 60 fps support on ps5🥹. I'm waiting for a price drop to get it xd.

it's pretty good.. only thing I can mention is that they add artistic touches to it.

story-wise.. pretty basic and it has elements of roguelike. which can be frustrating but also exciting.

Hm i guess that'll do for now. I see heat with 90% price drop but it's locked at 30 fps 😂. Locking a high speed racing game at that fps is a sin xd.

oh nfs heat is very pretty compared to nfs unbound.

I agree, their requirements are pretty high. those two games, my pc really struggled. it stuttered. these two games really need a modern cpu than gpu. (my cpu is on the weaker side)

Oh wow i didn't know that but I did keep seeing that nfs 2015 looked really good compared to the modern ones. Im sure heat will run fine on ps5 but I kinda hate that 30fps cap though. If i remember correctly nfs rivals had this issue on pc. I remember my buddy bitching about it since he always played racing games in high fps.

Why aren't you upgrading your cpu if it's a bottleneck bro? My laptop has a TN display 😂. Im thinking about upgrading that to ips soon. I wish hive came back to 25 cents atleast 😅.

It's worth the investment; it provides the user with extra convenience that's lacking when using just a phone. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks for dropping by 😁

The one thing I could never get into was mobile gaming! The controller looks top notch! Reminds me of the Steam Deck!
