The Switch looking thing

With 100+ down and 9ish up it would do well, right? Good latency on the wifi too

That thing would help my situation for gaming quite a bit. It's really fuckin pricey, but besides the price I think I'd get a lot of benefit

So why shouldn't I do it?

I got rid of an Xbox Series S (already have a Series X) for mine and I enjoy it quite a bit. It's the best remote play device there is.

If you're willing to pay then why not?

Does it have to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the PS5? Still worth it to me if so but still kinda sucks too

It doesn't but I don't think it would be worth the latency personally.

But my internet is nowhere near good enough to even try. Don't know if anyone has made that work well.

You can try it out on your mobile phone as a test drive maybe.

Because there isn't anything super special here. It's not like the WiiU gamepad where you have a direct connection with the console. All it's doing is using the same PS streaming app that you can download from the app store.

60hz screen. Possibly latency issues if you have subpar internet.

your console is recommended to be on a wired connection prior to remote play.

possible issues with stick drift. unsure if anyone has experienced that or if he even exists.

I've been using remote play going all the way back to the Vita. Unless you're using a laptop or a handheld it feels compromised to me.

The controller clip and mobile phone feels like absolute shit. The weight distribution doesn't feel right and the screen is to small. It also means you can't use your mobile phone without unclipping the thing!

Steam Deck is pretty good. I wouldn't have gone out of my way to get the Portal since I have that but I saw a good trade in deal and thought why not. I just have the basic Deck so it is a step up from that due to the size and vibrancy of the screen. Steam Deck OLED closes that gap a bit but that costs three times the price here so I'm never going to get that.

Wait.. I can just stream it to my phone and play with a PS5 controller? Is that what you're saying?

If so, fuck buying that other thing

definitely this. If you dont have the money, then just save for a week or two. Its better than wasting it on something inferior

Again, defeats the purpose

Just get a cheap Steam Deck (+microSDs) and look up how to stream PS5 games on it. Apparently it's a thing. But yeah, an OLED version would probably be better and that's a mite more expensive.
