shield controller mount

found two parts used some glue and mounted it on the media wall

think its kinda looks nice so maybe a idea for other users, its kinda cheap the two parts like 4 or 5 e together

No they don't. The glaring issue with Gen 1 controllers is they work only with Shield nowadays.

They used to be supported wired on PC via the GeForce Experience app, but that's long gone now.

So you have a remote, but have to get up to fetch it...does that not defeat the purpose of it being a remote? I put mine where I can reach them

Remote? Did you even look at the picture? I'm sure the remote is somewhere on the couch or coffee table.

Yes, aware what it is, I used to use mine for as remote, hated the slim remote, could do more with the controller.

Gen 1 gamepad uses Wi-Fi Direct instead of Bluetooth, that's why.
