So... could someone explain to me what makes this better than just using the Remote Play app on whatever device you want? That has existed for years and has always worked great.

Probably not much, especially if you already like the controller. I have a crap controller that I use with my phone, so it would probably be an upgrade over that... but even so, I’d rather just buy a better controller.
Yeah... Even then, it basically just uses a PS5 controller with a tablet in between it. If someone likes the controller here, they can use literally any other PS5 controller. They can't even use the argument that it's more portable when it's a hefty 8" tablet lol. What a strange device...
Much larger screen - 8”. Has the haptics of the Dual Sense. Less clunky than trying to connect a controller to your phone. Won’t have phone notifications interrupting your gaming/covering any portion of the screen. Lots of things. This will be a much more comfortable experience overall. I use remote play around the house on the Logitech G Cloud all the time and it is great.
Wow, what a useless peripheral
Why couldn't this device have been the one to have "360" in the name? It would have worked (for once!).
"Why do they call it the PieceShyt360? Because you throw it away and it boomerangs right back to you!"
Seriously, though, how am I going to catch the Joker with this thing?
For reals: looks like it has bad ergonomics, the software (just stock Android?) looked to be performing poorly in that one video, it will be super overpriced probably, and we don't know how locked down it will be. If it is cheap and we have play store services, it might be an ok emulation device?
This may be great for CEMU if they allow PC connectivity.
Everyone trashes the design but I actually quite like it, it's different. It's a device for use at home not some on-the-go thing. That said I've never enjoyed game streaming and don't have a PS5 anymore so this isn't for me anyway!
