Rate my gaming setup y'all (yes this is my actual way to play games)

[u/Character-Code-453]

To save money, I create my own phone stand (and because it's just more fun :D)

I'm just using my phone screen as my "monitor" for me the screen did not feel too small,

But it's definitely not big and my device doesn't support external output so I'm just using my phone screen

I'm using USB Hub to connect my wired keyboard and my wired mouse

Playing with a keyboard and a mouse is really fun, I could go with Bluetooth, but why I still prefer wired?

Idk, for me wired is just more cool

So far I'm only playing Minecraft and Sonic Robo Blast 2 with this setup

To be honest its really comfortable!

So rate it from 1 to 10 y'all! Be honest

[u/electrona]

If it makes you happy, 10/10.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/electrona]

Yeah I'm really happy with it, thanks!

[u/xdoble7x]

I recommend you to paint to black the white parts around the screen, will make your eyes focus easier to the phone screen

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/xdoble7x]

Okay, I will definitely do it

[u/jDelay56k]

This fucking rules

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/jDelay56k]

Thanksss man

[u/themip]

10/10! I like it! I used to game on a cardboard box and people made fun of me for it but it was lightweight and easy to move from room to room lol. You can tell some thoughtful engineering went into your solution!

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/themip]

Thanks! And yeah like cardboards is like the ultimate material for D.I.Y

[u/BagNearby9424]

Thats dope, man. People spend good money on that kinda stuff ao gj making it for yourself

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/BagNearby9424]

Yeah, I do actually think it's better to make it my self so I can make It to look like whatever I want, and thanks man

[u/TheVess]

What do you play on this setup?

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/TheVess]

Mostly Minecraft Bedrock, and some native android ports like for example Sonic Robo Blast 2 I really like that game though Im not really comfortable with the controlls yet

[u/TheVess → u/Character-Code-453]

Right on! Pro tip, download Google opinion rewards. You take little surveys every now and then and you get Google play credits. It will take you a while, but eventually you can buy some of the other premium games for free!

[u/BraveSirDydimus → u/TheVess]

Your comment reminded me to go check the app because its been a while since I've had a survey pop up, turns out I needed to update it. Havent had a survey since April!

[u/WHRocks → u/BraveSirDydimus]

It updates quite frequently.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/TheVess]

I'm dumb is this Google opinion rewards free?

[u/peepyboy → u/Character-Code-453]

Yeah dude, it's on the playstore from memory I've made heaps of google play credit on it over the years.

[u/RobbiGamer2]

The only thing you're missing is a monitor, and you can find those for relatively cheap on second hand markets

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/RobbiGamer2]

Agree, but even if I does find it my phone doesn't have a DP Alt mode support

[u/fr4ncotir4dor]

Looks EXACTLY like something i would do to game, when i was a teenager in 2012 i plugged my phone to an otg cable and plugged the charger and a keyboard and mouse and used a 3rd party app to map the kb+m to the screen so i could play gameloft games that way lol

Edit: forgot to rate it, easy 10/10 for creativity and uniqueness

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/fr4ncotir4dor]

Thanks! :D

[u/Interesting_Fish4930]

What phone you rocking?

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Interesting_Fish4930]

Realme C53! I have 6gb of physical ram which is acceptable It doesn't have a very well known chipset, it uses a Unisoc Tiger But it perform succeed my expectations, it can handle some light PC emulation with Winlator, some PS2 and Gamecube

[u/rossbalch]

You're gaming and that's what matters.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/rossbalch]

Agree, gaming is genuinely one of the best thing is in life

[u/Astrodion123]

A wise man once said

"Do it right, do it yourslef"

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Astrodion123]

Ummm I once said "Thank u"

[u/Astrodion123 → u/Character-Code-453]

And a dumb man said "np"

[u/callsmockjohnson]

Pro tip: If you like fps games, you can play quake via "quad toch" (available in the play store for a couple of bucks).

It has full native MNK support

[u/ExtraExperience1994]

improvise adapt overcome
10/10

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/ExtraExperience1994]

Thanks man

[u/Aitolu]

It can go get better.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Aitolu]

What u mean?

[u/Aitolu → u/Character-Code-453]

My bad, I typed on bed feeling sleepy. I meant "it can only get better", meaning it only gets better from here.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Aitolu]

Oooh that what u mean, alright

[u/Think-Cartoonist-982]

I didn't know c-type can connect to both keyboard and mouse!

[u/KorovasId → u/Think-Cartoonist-982]

Type C can do everything man. I've got a type C hub I can plug into my phone and it can do Ethernet, video output, USB peripherals(MnK), data transfer and charge my phone all at once. Truly eye opening, I didn't realize how far the industry was taking it with this humble connector.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/KorovasId]

Agree, VERY agree for me type A and type C is one of the underrated ports

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Think-Cartoonist-982]

Yes it can, with the help of a USB hub

[u/bobby3eb]

For the love of god raise it up. My neck hurts looking at this

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/bobby3eb]

Is it to low? For me it's fine but anyway thanks for your opinion!

[u/bobby3eb → u/Character-Code-453]

You may be young or without nexk pain but yes extremely low.

When you game on the monitor it's supposed to be eye level. With this you'd be looking straight down. It'll slowly do damage

Companies spend big $ to ensure their employees dont get hurt and have ergonomics people for this reason.

Find something you can set on the desk and get it raised up 100000%

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/bobby3eb]

Oh okay, young? Maybe yes I'm older than 13, I will do my best to raise my setup so I don't get neck pain in the future

[u/bobby3eb → u/Character-Code-453]

Good! even a cardboard box to set that on is great. You can get permanent injuries even under 18 from stuff like that!

[u/kyazici]

I'm too old to look at small screens, but it's still cool.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/kyazici]

Thanks :D

[u/caribbean_caramel]

If you're having fun 10/10

[u/Rubicon208]

We have the same type of keyboard lol, mine is just way more dusty.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Rubicon208]

Is yours Acer too? This type of keyboard is nice right? RIGHT?

[u/Rubicon208 → u/Character-Code-453]

Nevermind, I thought mine was Acer. It's a Logitech hahaha.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Rubicon208]

Brand doesn't matter, if it has keys, WASD, looks cool and functional then it's a nice keyboard

[u/Calm_Flamingo2390]

This is genuinely so creative, I love it

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Calm_Flamingo2390]

Thanks! And yeah "creativity thrives under constraint" and yeah I pick that from google

[u/Local-Notice-2874]

can it run crysis?

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Local-Notice-2874]

Idk haven't try yet, maybe yes but not playable

[u/captainnoyaux]

God tier !

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/captainnoyaux]

Thanks! :P

[u/FateBreaker92]

Hey if it works. 👌🏼

[u/iAmHestbech]

Hey, whatever works for ya 👍

[u/Puredanger7258]

Same here man I can finally play nfs rival on 60 fps

[u/Shankz_FF]

How’s the heat? Try adding a cooler or make a cutout near the motherboard for the heat to dissipate if you are going to game for long hours. Nice setup btw.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Shankz_FF]

It does get hot in there (my phone), yes maybe I will because I'm too lazy to do cutting cardboards again 😭 but thanks for the information I will definitely think more bout this

[u/No-Relative-2942]

since you got the mouse and keyboard set up you should try the counter strike port

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/No-Relative-2942]

Okay! Thanks for the recommendation

[u/highwarthog]

This feels like it should be illegal

JK nice setup!

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/highwarthog]

Yes this does feel illegal ngl :D

[u/callsmockjohnson]

I like it. You make it work with what you got, that's very cool.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/callsmockjohnson]

Yeah, couldn't afford a real PC but I can buy a real keyboard and a mouse

[u/buzz8588]

It’s a sad day when your keyboard is 5X bigger than your display. 2 stars.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/buzz8588]

Yeah, it's kinda funny to look at it doesn't matter too, I still can gaming with it quite comfortably

[u/Suspicious_Tree1709]

11/10

[u/Louanus]

10/10 :) if the phone supports video out, you can even buy a cheap monitor on the long run and make it even better! 

[u/funzerkerr]

This is so cool. You could play classic doom games with mods like Brutal Doom using Delta Touch. It would be great to play with keyboard and mouse. I also think about games that use keyboard to play. Nethack port like Pathos or Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead with keyboard would be so much easier.

Amazing idea and I love execution.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/funzerkerr]

Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking about it too, I will play a ton of MS-DOS and Doom with this kind of setup About Delta Touch it's great but it's paid, I'm not saying it's bad, but I literally make my own phone holder with CARDBOARDS so I'm looking at a free native android ports and MS-DOS with RetroArch

[u/funzerkerr → u/Character-Code-453]

Ask Beloko (dev) maybe he's got spare codes for delta touch. Show him your setup.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/funzerkerr]

Ok! But where do I ask him?

[u/ConsiderationOne6329]

The screen is quite tiny in comparison to the keyboard so it feels abit off but if it works for you then happy days

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/ConsiderationOne6329]

Yeah agree, well at least I got a screen and agree again it's kinda feel off too

[u/Foreign-Dig8695]

Yo crafting table!

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Foreign-Dig8695]

Sup bro, have we meet before? This vibes giving me feeling I have met u before

[u/Foreign-Dig8695 → u/Character-Code-453]

I'm steve bro

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Foreign-Dig8695]

Have u find the diamonds bro?

[u/Nell152]

Add games like hollow knight and if possible hades too

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Nell152]

Thanks for the recommendation

[u/Nell152 → u/Character-Code-453]

Btw why did you buy the docking hub? You could've just got a nice controller and turn your phone into a handheld.

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Nell152]

Yes I do have a controller, the BSP D11 and yes I'm turning it into a handheld too I'm planning to post it here too about y'all opinion One simple answer, because it's cool and fun playing a game with full keyboard and a mouse on my phone

[u/Historical_Guide8996]

Omg same but mine is wireless 

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Historical_Guide8996]

:D

[u/No-Amphibian-8866]

Holy creativity, loved this definitely 11/10

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/No-Amphibian-8866]

Thanks!

[u/Demon_Kingjt]

Dawg just use a cheap gamepad

[u/Character-Code-453 → u/Demon_Kingjt]

Yeah I have one, the BSP D11 I just think it cool using a keyboard and a mouse on my phone and totally fun as heck too
