Called it ages ago. This thing seems destined to fail - their entire market is a niche within a niche.

    God i hate these big handhelds. They're so impossible to pack and annoying to carry.

    I wish there was a genuinely compact smartphone controller that could pack away with the footprint of two joycons on the grip, with the palm grips removed.

        There was some reason I didn't like the kishi, i think i had a phone that wouldnt fit or something.

          I didn't like the kishi because it doesn't fit with big flagships with a case on, and also it felt very uncomfotable to play on big phones. probably on flagships with smaller form factors it could be good.

            I yoinked the basic s22 on a sale for a good price, basically the smallest flagship you can find, for like half off. I wonder how it'd fit.

            The other reason I never bought one is I have not found myself bored away from home long enough to play a game in like many years. If I am, its probably too noisy to really enjoy the game anyway.

              I tried it in a oneplus 8 pro, screen height is 163mm and it fitted without a case. the S22 is a bit smaller than this, so I imagine it will fit no problem. I don't know how comfortable it will be to hold tho, but likely it will fare a lot better than it did with me.
