No, it can't be used as a dualsense controller with direct console use.

Also, to use it not attached to a phone with PC, Mac, and iPads, a subscription to their Backbone + service is required.

Weird that they'd make it a PS version, but the sticks are offset... like an Xbox.

The only difference is the buttons have the PlayStation controller symbols instead of being ABXY.

Pretty good deal for a usb C backbone. Costco had the lightning ones for $40 a while ago but beyond that haven't seen a lot of deals. I grabbed one. Now that emulators are allowed on iOS it will be cool to have one

First gen doesn't fit well or at all with phones consider plus size while having phone cases on them.
