ARTICLE – Every keychain has dead weight. Most people carry at least one clip, fob, or attachment that looked useful in the store and turned useless within a week.

ARTICLE – Most phone controllers are designed for horizontal play, using a wide grip that puts controls on both sides of the screen. GameSir’s Pocket Taco takes the opposite approach.
