The interface is pretty impressive, with the analog trigger! The firework effect on press is a bit weird but it's ok. Please make this work with Samsung Dex on the same device 🙏 so I can connect my phone to a screen and use it as a gamepad, it would be geniuous especially with game streaming app!

Overall best gamepad smooth joystick moving and quick response

Looks and feels like it would be great for gaming and want to try it but it only works with Samsung TV's. I wish the developers would allow it to work with my Samsung Galaxy tab S9 ultra. Also would like if it ran the on screen touch controls on the phone. If you have the Galaxy tab ultra you most likely have a galaxy phone. So.......
