FYI apparently custom button assignments do not work on a portal. Just got it and will probably return it.

If your PS5 isn't hard-lined to your router, don't bother

Even with a hard line couldn't get this thing to work properly. Wasted hours on it.

Mine isn't hard wired and I have no issues. Especially with the new cloud gaming. It works great.

I've been tempted by it several times, but I always cave to just using remote play from my laptop, which works great. Anyone have any arguments as to why to get something like this vs just keeping with the laptop?

If this thing could ever just be unlocked or jailbroken for streaming and emulators I'd be all over it. Like a better version of the Logitech G-cloud.

But if it stays locked down its just gonna end up in a dumb somewhere.

When playing locally at home, with your console hard wired, it works well (enough). I've used mine to play through my backlog of games while lounging in a separate room than my PS5. Great for single player action games. Helped me finish through FF7 Rebirth. If you plan to play a lot of FPS that require precision aiming, I would pass. Theres obviously still enough input lag for that not to be as enjoyable.

What does this mean?

I have a WiFi 6 nighthawk, all my in network streaming is amazing. I'm doing it on a backbone currently.

This brings open box down as well. Open box fair is $135. Great price.

For those complaining of connection issues, what's the actual problem and how bad is it? I ask because I've remote played on my phone at someone else's house and had no problems (used a backbone controller). My PS5 is connected via Ethernet.

I just ordered one from Target at this price, plus another 5% off using my Target Circle card.

How's the cloud gaming. I want to know before pulling the trigger. Don't have a PS5 console.

Yes. A handheld is easier to use than a laptop around the house for many people.
