This mount is very strong and the mount itself is almost invisible around the black PS4. The controller mounts don't hold the controllers in place, but if you mount them on a solid surface, gravity should hold them there. The only issue I had was the included bolt would not snap into the mount and the bolt was the only reason I put the mount where I did. Not sure if I'm missing anything, but it works fine without. If you don't want to use the screw, you can rotate the PS4 in any direction.
