Not my cup of tea for the price. It's the same price as a switch lite and you need a ps5 to use it, and you need to be on the same physical network too...

When I use my switch, 99.9% of the time, I'm at home. So, none of this actually matters to me.

I got one, and it's pretty great. It does the job super well. Let's me play games whilst the TV is in use, which I think is 99% of the reason I use my switch portable too.

Does it feel less laggy than the PS app?

https://imgur.com/a/EIT9pow it's as close to zero lag as you can reasonably expect

Oh wow, nice. I didn’t know that it would also mirror on the screen. That’s cool.

I’ve tried the app on a good iPad, and I think what most people don’t realize is that that’s capped at 30fps plus there’s the tiniest bit of added lag because of the Bluetooth connection — both things you don’t get with this device. I mean it obviously works on iPad or a phone, but this thing seems to play games better, and sometimes you just want to sit on the porch or something or in a hammock and play something, you know?

Yeah. Steamlink has been a thing for ages. I even still have a physical steamlink box somewhere in storage. Same premise, somewhat nicer execution.
