Review on Officially Licensed Nintendo & Pokemon Pikachu Playstand For Switch - Compact And Stylish In Black & Gold by Brian Cueto

Revainrating 4 out of 5

On its way to being the peak lazy-player platform

Ok, the purchase of this all started from some blog article I read somewhere where a guy was daydreaming of being able to play his Switch while laying down, with the unit resting on his stomach/chest and his hands resting further down by his waist. I know. Like.how lazy can you get? Amirite? So obviously I wanted to emulate this man's plan exactly because it can take a toll on your neck after hours of playing Zelda propped on a pillow on your stomach. I mean, no one needs that kind of suffering. Well, this does not work to a 5-star level on that front, I'm afraid, but it works well enough for in-bed laziness that I'll give it 4. And if you're asking why don't I just play it connected to a TV like a civilized human, well that's because I like to play at night when my kids are finally asleep, so I'm left with only being able to play in my bedroom with the door closed lest my hoard of monkeys hear the music and wonder why they can't stay up all night and play too. Plus, by that time my husband has usually already commandeered the TV to watch Overwatch Twitch streams. The unit is compact, folds down flat, and is easy to store. On the long-term durability and strength scale, it could use some work. It prevents it from slipping down in the traditional just-prop-it-up-against-something method, and also elevates it a little for better viewing. However, if your goal was just to have a semi-stable unit to prop the Switch up on an actual flat surface and play, this is a great solution for not a lot of money.
