This tiny gaming controller is surprisingly good, and it costs just $20


CRKD's Atom lets you game just about everywhere.

The ability to dock your phone or tablet to a mobile controller and play games is pretty great, but as much as I like GameSir's G8 Plus, it's not very portable — you can't take it around in your pocket. I played hours of Balatro using this controller, and it held up great; the D-pad and buttons have good feedback, and even the shoulder triggers have decent tactility — something I didn't think would be the case.
