RiotPWR Cloud Gaming Controller Review

mmorpg.com:

If you've been following the news lately, a certain, uh, acquisition has been making a lot of noise regarding cloud gaming. Mobile gaming on its own is a massive industry, but the cloud gaming realm still seems to be uncharted territory – even for the companies who are championing it. Even today, cloud gaming does have a decent amount of options, and being able to play these games as you do at home will be key. Enter RiotPWR and their latest Cloud Gaming Controller, which takes their already-solid controller offering and adds a universal USB-C compatibility, which gives it a lot more flexibility.

Tech Specs

The core controller, as mentioned, looks similar to the other controllers in RiotPWR's library. By that I mean, it looks and feels like every Xbox or Switch Pro controller you've ever held before  (sorry DualSense). The button layout is the same, the joystick placement is the same, and the grips for your hands are the same. If you've been playing games for as long as I have, you will have no trouble playing games with it. If this is the first controller you've ever held, it's easy to understand. There's a reason this controller format has stuck around so long in the gaming industry; it just works . 

One major caveat to the controller, however, is its bulkiness. As this is a cloud gaming-focused controller, this means you're going to be traveling with it. While it's certainly not big enough to cause issues in a backpack or purse, it's not definitely not small enough to fit in your pocket. This means you'll likely be storing the controller separately from your phone in your pocket, and depending on your commute, you might spend as much time digging the controller out and plugging it in as you are playing
