Microsoft’s Surface Duo is many things.
It’s a folding phone with two screens rather than one.

It’s an incredibly light rig built around productivity.
It’s evenalmost the Xbox handheld dream, according to our Zachary Boddy.
But one thing the Surface Duo is not is compatible with game controllers.

That leaves few options for those that want to use physical controls when gaming on the Duo.
While you might use anXbox controller phone mount, those are top-heavy with single-screen devices.
Holding up an unfolded Duo on a mount would be an arm workout.

The Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 have niche followings due to their dual-screen designs.
But most setups I’ve seen use on-screen controls rather than physical controls.
That’s fine for some titles but isn’t the best for others.
