Extra Testing:
If I missed any let me know!
Edit: Added the IGN review which was actually pretty good! Tested it at a cafe outside with their PS5 back at home on WiFi and the experience was good according to the reviewer.
Edit 2: Added Kinda Funny but I haven’t watched it yet. I’ll update my comment below if there is any new info worth adding to my TLDR.
Edit 3: added an extra testing section where SpawnPoiint tested the USBC port for Ethernet and USBc wireless dongles
My portal is dope btw. I meant to tell you. Screen is really good and it feels great to hold. The sticks are the only thing that feels different since they are smaller than the dual sense but I’m going to look into getting caps for them. They aren’t bad, but I’d like them a tad bigger.
And for anyone else reading this, the portal thumb sticks are smaller than the dual sense but larger than the psvr thumbsticks, so I don’t think there are any caps now that fit it.
I don’t think many people go so deep in comment chain, maybe post it as top level comment.
Also, Cool! That just makes me want them more! But I am not going to push me toward more impulse shopping. 😛
Buy the thing! Consume! Capitalism demands it!
Capitalism needs to pay me more 😀
