Almost perfect

Great graphics and a nice screen size. I previously owned the Switch OLED, and after comparing the two, the PS5 feels more like a small computer in your hands. Streaming works great, and even if you don’t own a PS5, you can subscribe to the PS Plus service to stream games and save your data. Speaker quality is much more immersive when using headphones, giving you a surround-sound experience similar to playing on a TV console. I would recommend avoiding games like Astro Bot on this device, as it relies heavily on motion controls. Having to move the controller to complete certain actions while simultaneously watching the screen can be disorienting and may cause dizziness. Lastly, a major draw back is not have dedicated games to put in the device to truly make this a portable device, rather than asking for everyone wifi everywhere you go. For that reason this controller loses a star.

Easy setup and great portability

It’s a great portable streaming device. Easy to pair up to ps5. The graphics are nice, but only as nice as your Internet connection. Bad internet connection = bad graphics and terrible lag. This can be used while away from home, but note that this isn’t a separate ps5, it only streams what is already on your ps5. So if your connection is bad on either end, it can cause issues. Or if you have a power outage where main console is, you may come across issues of reconnection. Someone in the room with your ps5 can also watch you play on the big screen if the tv is on—sound included. Was pretty funny watching my spouse play and he didn’t know I could hear and see his gameplay. Has an aux where you can use headphones. Also can use wireless ones. C-cable charging port. Volume level is decent, good enough for me to hear. The controls are simple and easy to use. The interface is easy and can access Home Screen easily. The touchpad is a little tricky, but I got it after a few guesses (double tap right and left on screen). Touch pad works well. The screen is very slim and I’d keep away from young ones who can’t handle this yet as it can break very easily if dropped. No case comes with it, so I’d also highly suggest buying a case for it to rest in. Charge is great. This was keeping me occupied for 4 hours and didn’t even have the charge warning yet, but was pretty close to 1 bar. So it does have a decent battery life. Love it and works well for me especially if I want to play games near my spouse or if I’m away from home.

difficult to pair with PS5. almost never pairs successfully. if a person doesn't have a perfect connection, they shouldn't bother with this. I had not thought about it but having the controls externally is actually bulky and awkward. it's hardly getting any use at all.

Preface with you must already own a PS5, have access to strong WIFI, and if you want to stream games, you need the max PS Plus subscription. Unless you travel a lot and solely play PS5 games it may not be worth the buy. Otherwise, functions very well and looks very good. No issues with device that I can report - most come from WIFI streaming issues.

An amazing device!

It was incredibly easy to plug and play. The best thing about this has been the ease of playing my games while still being able to watch sports or continuing with my favorite shows on my tv. Having the flexibility to be able to enjoy two forms of entertainment and all wirelessly on a sleek looking portable device with a large HD screen, its amazing!

I got this as a Christmas gift and he loves it. You can play on it and have it connected to your PlayStation so whatever you're doing on it also shows on your PlayStation or you can just play on it without your PlayStation on the graphics just aren't as good. The connection goes pretty far. We were in another town and he was playing on it connected to his PlayStation I love it. It’s also a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be.

Great portable player for home

I usually use this at home since my nephews or the women like to watch tv. So I play this to game with other family members or friends without hogging up the tv. That way it’s a win for both parties. You do need a stable internet connection so it doesn’t lag or creates pixels while streaming. I 100 % use WiFi since my internet connection is strong so very rare it will lag for me.

The PS5 Hand Game is a fun and surprisingly engaging experience that really shows off what the PlayStation 5 can do. From the moment you start playing, the game feels smooth and responsive, thanks to the PS5’s fast loading times and powerful performance. There’s almost no waiting around, which keeps the gameplay exciting and immersive. This product was very much worth it . My son love it

Good for story games

It’s a great device. Especially if you’re into story games. But obviously you do need a PS5 unless you pay for the premium subscription which lets you stream games. But even then you need stable Wi-Fi, you need to know that you won’t be able to access the library of games you already own. Only what ever PlayStation has put out for the month. Streaming from the PS5 isn’t wow either. If you’re playing an online multiplayer game like fortnite, rocket league, COD, etc. it’s not very great. There is input lag. Not horrible but if you’re a hardcore gamer you will absolutely notice. You can’t stream YouTube or Netflix unfortunately. It’s still great for story games, being comfortable on your bed and enjoying some games. So it’s still worth it but you need to know the Cons.

Not Travel Friendly

I got this device as a present for my husband to use his PS5 away from home. However, I did not realize that the PS5 and Portal have to be apart of the same WiFi network to sync up for the portal to work. Internet connection is spotty, doesn’t work well with a hotspot. Not meant for gaming travel, and is not like a switch. I’d recommend the Backbone over this. If you want a really high-tech, touchscreen controller then you’ve found d your gadget, otherwise consider a switch or something more travel friendly and designed.
