I have had this controller day one of release for little over 2 weeks or so. I'm very impressed with it myself. Ergonomics, features, the Armory Crate software config options, etc. Really like how easy it is to put your phone into it. Since all my phones have cases, have not had to remove them for the USB-C port to reach. Also, my phones with cases on, I did have to swap the square rubber pad in the middle hinge bit for the thinner one, which contacts the phones just right.

I appreciate that you say "et cetera" and not "exetera”

[MintyDude]

Holy shit, dude! I've been looking for like 4 hours to see how the face buttons sound! You are absolutely amazing for showing how all buttons sound! Please keep it up! You rock!!!

This is by far the most elaborated external smartphone gamepad controller I've ever seen so far. There's so many brackets to choose in the box.

Until I see it working with an iPhone in an Otterbox defender, I’m not sold on the “any phone case” claim.

Burned $80 on the ELO vagabond, I have a Xiaomi 15 ultra and the customer rep assured me it would fit. Pulled the trigger on the asus after I saw that you fit the x100 in there, the Xiaomi 15 ultra also has a massive camera island so I am praying this will be the last controller I need to buy 🙏🏻 thank you for the compatibility demonstration with a phone like that, helped me so much.

What "huge list" of games are supported by this device? I've found a half dozen. After looking. For days. Please post a list? I'm talking games native to the Android. Not steamdeck. Thanks

What about the lag? How bad is streaming games like gamepass on your phone using the controller?

RaZer Edge Tablet + RoG Tessen Controller

After being spoiled by the Gamesir G8 Galileo, I can't go back to smaller and skinnier controllers. My one complaint with the G8 is that my Xiaomi 14 Ultra doesn't work with it due to the massive camera hump.

Thank you for the video! Is this tessen backbone also compatible with the asus rog phone 7? Thank you

I bought the gamesir x4a for my ROG phone 8 but not compatible with a case. I am also unable to my headphones. Using it with a case is out of the question.

Recently bought the ROG Tessen and i am so happy. I can even use with a phone case and the best bit is, I can use my headphones.

[kakitoceng]

[maqicshowzzx]

bought it 2 and tomorrow i get my red magic 9 s pro hyped to pIay some switch games and AIso steam Iink on it

[ALionlikeMane]

One that caught me off guard is... a cheap AliExpress controller: the BSP-D8.

You'd be tempted to put it in Xbox mode because that's usually the way to go... but something about their Xbox mode is just plain bad. Now if you put it in generic controller mode... holy shit it shines. Great buttons, great triggers, great analogs... and it's a deeeep boy. Most of my phones fit with a case on.

Could you do a video on why you are "definitely not on the Twitter" and why you don't like the Facebooks and Instagrams? I value your opinion so I would like to hear it.
Thanks as always!

If only the USB port was on the left side for folding phones

[lsswe]
