8BitDo's mobile clamp lets users attach its Micro and Zero 2 mini controllers to a smartphone. However, the clamp seems to work best for retro games.

The dumbest thing I have ever seen. $25(for the micro version) for a piece of plastic that does nothing. Spend a few bucks more and a Miyoo Mini or Anbernic handheld can be acquired instead. Good job on the phail with this one, 8bitdo. This is terrible.

I own a micro and love that I can carry it in my fifth pocket. Typically when I use this controller I prop my phone up on my ear buds case and play it in tabletop mode. I've tried to make shift set something up to do what this clip does. For $10 if it and the controller can fit in the fifth pocket I'm in.

It is $25 for the Micro controller itself or $20 for the Zero 2 controller. The clip is $10 and works for the Micro and/or the Zero 2. You buy them separately.

I've used an ipega telescopic BT phone controller for years, but as my phones have gradually increased in size, they've fit less and less well, and of course it has always been a pain to bring my controller around without a backpack, basically relegating it to long trips. I own an original Zero controller which I fully intend to try with this clip when they're back in stock. It looks like exactly what I need for convenient everyday pocket gaming with the bonus of higher quality feel of 8bitdo inputs. I'm heccin excited.
