Any reason to buy Gen 2 if I already own a Gen 1?

Blasphemy. No self respecting PlayStation controller has staggered thumbsticks.

Great to know. Repped.

Edit: Sadly 2nd gen seems like it's only USB-C for iPhone. Bummer.

Just picked it up today. It makes the PlayStation portal look like a silly purchase. It comes with the adapters to accept phones with cases. The controls for the PlayStation edition one are tactile and feel nice. The backbone app makes it a smoother experience since it integrates Xbox cloud and PS library games. Bonus tip: it can be used to play all your emulators. And since it's connected via USBC, it is flawless in lag input when u play games natively on ur phone.

Got this and Portal. Didn't believe in Portal until I have it in my hands. It is day and night. Screen is bigger. Connection is smooth. One button to connect and start. The phone can finally back to do what it supposed to do. If you can afford a Portal that's the way to go. If you can't afford one, get this instead.

Edit. iPad Pro with a controller still better than this but it is not as "portable".

I bought it a week ago for $100 after watching a LTT video. Price matched to sale price. I have put so many hours into call of duty mobile in a week it's crazy how much of a game changer this gamepad is, I love it.
