** Description **
With a sleek design inspired by the PS5 DualSense controller, a crisp white finish and PlayStation’s signature button layout, I can say it's good looking. However, the experience isn’t perfect. Especially used outside playstation environment. For example, when used with iOS games or Steam link, most games will recognise it as xbox controller, which gives you on scree hints with wrong glyphs.
Design & Build: The controller feels solid. It has asymmetrical joysticks and slightly ribbed handles to improve grip. Weird choice to light up only the Backbone button and not with a steady light, but a mild beacon.
Comfort: It's comfortable for extended gaming sessions but some buttons are not in the right place, like the Backbone button which can often be pressed accidentally.
Performance: The controller works well for remote play, with low latency. There are however issues with button mapping on most games.
Connectivity: The USB-C port allows you to charge your phone while playing, and there’s also a 3.5mm jack for wired headphones. However, if you want to do mirroring via USB-C cable, you cannot because the port sends only the power.
