Okay, so everyone's saying it's cute and all, but is there an actual practical use for this, as a grown-ass adult? I mean, sure it's pocketable and all but if you're thinking of portability, that would require your phone/tablet case to have a stand of some sort, which may not be an option (especially if you're commuting). So either this thing has a very niche use case or I'm missing something...

I think it’s mostly for the novelty of having a controller that you can keep with you all the time, even on a keychain.

That being said, the fact you can remap all the buttons opens up some interesting accessibility options for this, especially if you think about using it one-handed.
