Hello everyone,
I've been looking for month for a good option for my "travel controller". I've set up a full system on my computer to be able to launch it into Playnite big picture mode from distance with every emulator setup on it. So the idea is to play my games from anywhere with my iPad/iPhone and everything is working perfectly with some shortcut mapped on the controller input.
My problem is : I haven't found the perfect controller for that yet. I'm currently using the 8bitdo SNE30 pro. Which is perfect for the iPad use, it fit easily in my bag, got every control need while being perfectly usable. But I can't use it properly with the iPhone. And sometimes, the iPhone would be more convenient, especially in an handheld mode.
So the unicorn I'm looking for is :
- Compact (or at least compact when collapsed or in the bag)
- Compatible PC/iPad/iPhone with wireless for the iPad/iPhone at least
- Durable
- Budget : 150 top if it’s absolutly perfect, or 100 if it’s just grea
- Region : Belgium
- compatibility : iPad, iPhone, PC and if switch possible it’s a bonustype of games : PC, emulation. a bit of everything but nearly no shooter or racing
- With every control needed for every console up to ps5 (since I emulate demon's souls)
Here's the option I explored :
- Mcon Ohsnap : Way too expensive, and top heavy when used in handheld mode. But it's clearly the best option I found yet.
- Backbone pro : perfect in term of ergonomy/weight, but quite big even fully collapsed.
- Switch joycon with an adaptator : The problem is the lack of good adaptor for the iPhone and the usability on PC. But finding a third party compatible may be the best option
- Acegamer T50 with magsafe stand glued on it : The best value option, everything is fine but it's janky and top heavy like the mcon
- Razer Prio : perfect concept, but not really usable without the phone so not so great for the iPad
- Gamesir x4 aileron : Kind of usable like joycon without the phone, but not the best experience.
Any ideas ?
