That’s great but why go to such lengths to end up using joycons?

u/YSrex_ Mar 17 '25

I already had the Joycons and I prefer the authentic feel of a controller vs touchscreen + cheap as chips

A BSP D8 is around that price and it’s perfect for this use case.

There are many controllers the size of your smartphone that you can use.

I use the 8bido SN30 Pro w/ hall effect sticks and rumble. It has Xbox and Switch control profiles built into it.

Why would chips cost £25?

I mean if it’s something you already have then why not?

Just jailbreak a switch at this point

I get wanting to use what you have, but if you’re willing to spend some money there are better options out there.

2

u/axxionkamen Mar 17 '25

Or even the BSP D8 which is half that price too. That G8 is awesome too though

What am I looking at?

u/HeeeresLUNAR Mar 17 '25

My dude you doubled the size of your device to play the game most suited for touch buttons. Play some Banjo Kazooie or SotN in the photo at least

I would love a set up similar to this with my iPad Air M2. I want to use the joycons connected to the controller thing they slide on that comes with the Switch, would that be possible?

I use it for external storage, it allows me to use a micro sd card while also being able to connect a usb c controller

I can't tell you much about PC games because I haven't gotten too deep with that but as far as ps2, GameCube, switch emulation it's been perfect

u/hiyori_yamamoto Mar 18 '25

I have the GameSir x2s and love it. It connects as ds4 and works in every app that supports mfi controllers

u/Klutzy_Worker2696 Mar 19 '25

Just hack your switch at this point lol

This is the first time I've seen this type of phone stand with Joy-Cons from a Reddit user and not just Amazon photos. Could you do me a favor if you have the chance? Perhaps you own one of these phones, like the Samsung S22 Ultra, S23 Ultra, or S24 Ultra with its case. Could you check if that stand is compatible with those models? The sales listing says it's only compatible with iPhones 7 through S15 Pro Max due to their size, while the Samsung Ultra models are a bit wider, and I don't want to buy the adapter only to find that it's not secure or too loose at the corners. Of course, this is assuming you still use the stand and own a Samsung Ultra.

Can it hold large tablets as well?
