Not gonna lie i think my teen would love this. She's not into graphics but just playing the games. She would use this on Wifi in her room so her younger brothers don't bother her. I just need xbox to get some titles like nintendo. Animal crossing and the such for her.

April 2024? Damn, nearly a year late...

It's a quite compact device. The buttons are small and so are the sticks. It's a replacement for touch for sure.
Gamesir tho.. It has the the G8 (Galileo and a G8+ model) which is like a proper two halfs of an Xbox controller. There is also Lenovo branded G7 with a USB-C connection, which fits 8" tablets.
There is no better time to choose a telescopic controller for a mobile device than now..

They use a Halo screenshot for the marketing images, but a competitive multiplayer fps is basically the worst case scenario for game streaming.
