The Tessen external controller cannot be overlooked either, with its layout inspired by the Xbox controller making it more enjoyable to play shooters or racing games, especially. It will also come in handy when you stream full-fledged games through your smartphone, for example through Nvidia GeForce Now or Microsoft's xCloud.
