      My feedback.
      The middle part looks like a indent.
      It'd be nice if you could fill up that space somehow.
      I know it's the piece that shifts the phone, but it looks like someone took a scoop
      I can't really imagine how to fix it
      But if you somehow can it'd be interesting.
      Maybe something to fill the space up to prevent dust or lock it in place or maybe even store a charger + cord + SD card

    The quick launch feature is *SUCH* a good idea, I worried that sliding the original design with your fingers might end up pushing the whole thing off of the phone, instead of just popping out the controller. I miss the DS era of handheld consoles that could fit in your pocket, and this might just be the answer.

  • @3R1XN

    I've searched everywhere for a slide controller for smartphones. Just the idea of being able to use the phone with the controller attached, and the whole thing being pocketable.
    I even built 3 prototypes out of other controllers. But the sliding mechanism and my lack of PCB knowledge never let me go further. So I focused on University instead.
    I'm so happy to see that something like this is finally available and that you made it and the idea wasn't just my stupid idea. Nice one, I hope everything works out for you.
    One Idea for an addition I had was an integrated Powerbank and a metal cooling plate on the back of the phone. Maybe you can make use of it. I'm gonna get one and maybe try the mods myself.
    Great work!

      I was looking forward for a new Xperia Play since 2017; it made sense to me as the next Sony handheld to compete against a home/handheld hybrid with a phone/handheld hybrid when you already have a solidified home ecosystem with the PS4 and a mobile branch with the Xperia phones, with porting Vita game to Android and everything.
      i've been scratching that itch with retro handhelds but I'm still carrying two devices in my pocket. If Sony is not interested in making a Xperia Play, then this is the next best option no doubt.

    Wow, this is exactly what I need for my specific use! I’ve recently been looking at the new Redmagic gaming phone, and the biggest issue I had was the lack of a micro sd slot. I could get an adapter, but that gets in the way of a telescopic controller to fit properly. This not only makes this gaming phone setup 1000x more portable, but it indirectly solves the issue with the lack of expandable storage on most modern phones simply by having the charging port free from any blockage! Thank you for making this and I look forward to buying it hopefully soon

    Great job this looks WAY better then the last version. Those fold out grips seem like a game changer. If you haven't already you should patent that.
    While I was exited for this controller from the start. The previous version was very similar to what other companies have done in the past. And close to what I pictured in my head when I had this exact same idea years ago.
    However with those grips you truly made it something unique. Can't wait to get my hand on this. And if it's as good as it looks I'll definitely buy more then 1.

    The reveal gave me goosebumps. I think you have something here.
    I feel like gaming is in a down turn.
    Nothings feeling fresh. I have kids, a wife, job. The little free time I have I watch anime and work out. I used to be a hardcore gamer. Sadly that still persists in my mentality. It’s like I can’t be half way through the door. Either I’m locked in and trying to be the best or I lose interest. There’s no way to game on my ps5 now. The Nintendo switch is like half way there but just isn’t portable enough. I’m actually taking the switch on a trip for the first time right now after how many years?!? The backbone is just …not quick enough. The idea of having to take my phone out of the case plug it in and then take it back out two seconds later just doesn’t work. The build is great of the backbone, it feels great… but it missed the mark.
    This controller you’ve made could be the future. Phones are getting better which means this will get more and more valuable . Stay ahead of the curve of innovation, people will be trying to steal this and improve upon it.

    ive always been a mobile gamer, android specifically. i could never afford a pc and even if my phone was TERRIBLE at performance, i had so much fun messing with all the games for it (roblox, minecraft, gta, and even emulation felt so awesome considering this is such a tiny device)
    but ive always hated how people underestimated mobile gaming and calling it "cheap" or "niche" and people don't really care about it, but you might be one of the first people ive seen take mobile gaming seriously.
    and i just want to say: thank you. thank you for genuinely giving mobile gaming a chance and for trying to create something that might change it forever.

    Hey man important suggestion, implement custom weights (like a gaming mouse). If the phone is top-heavy it will be uncomfortable and ruin wrists in the long run. Custom weights will allow users to tune to their phone's weight. Xperia Play was balanced really well IIRC. Also, support for phone cases (essential for everyday use as you mentioned) and last but not least, it just has to be PS Vita dpads 👍🏼

    • @SRC267

    We just need good games to actually play on this. Modern phones could run almost everything up to the Xbox 360 if publishers actually ported them.
    Forza Motorsport 4. Halo 3. The last of us. Mario Galaxy. Etc. There's endless games that could be playable, but if it's not full of mtx and fomo it's not available.

      While it would be nice to have things running natively, there is of course streaming as well. With Xbox game pass you can stream just about anything to your phone to play. That in and of itself justifies the controller existing in my opinion

      If this thing gets big enough, they’re definitely coming. Mobile gaming is a massive industry, but the device has never been conducive to the kinds of games it’s capable of with the lack of dedicated controls. I genuinely think this controller has the capability to upset the entire industry. I’ve been on the fence for years about buying a backbone because it’s a controller, but just not what I want. This is it. This is the modern adult DS I’ve been dreaming of and I think developers are going to eat it up if they know it exists.

      Its a huge deal even without what I'm talking about, but it's not going to be directly comparable to a proper handheld console imo unless something changes in the mobile game marketplace.
