Description and Limitations

This extremely tiny gamepad is designed to be compact and portable, easily fitting in a pocket or small space. However, its small size means it lacks actual joysticks and a haptic engine for rumble. As a result, it may not be the best controller for brand-new AAA games. Despite this, it remains a great option for playing retro-tinged 2D platformers and other games that don’t require complex controls.
