Ian, 17 Apr 2021Have anyone tried this twin view with Nintendo DS emulator?... moreEmulators work great with the phone and its accessories.
While the Citra 3DS emulator doesn't work with the Twinview-Dock on dual screen, it has native support on the Kunai gamepad.
The Drastic-DS emulator has dual-screen support with the Twinview-Dock AND already a prebuilt profile for the Kunai gamepad.

    Why would Asus make a clip that supports other controllers but not the kunai controller making it (the kunai) easier to use with other phones.. Just absent minded in my opinion

            Buyer Beware of Kunai 3.
            I'm having a bad experience here.

            After failed firmware update, the right controller doesnt work anymore.
            Went to Asus Service Center, and they only ping pong me around to the seller, to distributor, without any solution.

            Posted on Asus Zen Talk Forum, and still no solution. Only a follow up question.

              Twinview dock is useless, not even can use it as keyboard for typing, so forget the "Nitendo DS" or LG velvet features...don't buy it

                  Can the Kunai 3 game pad case protect your phone

                    I just got my Kunai 3. As it turns out, the D-pad is 4-way only. You cannot go diagonal by pressing something like up and right at the same time. This makes fighting games basically require you to get good at using the analog stick.

                    This is a huge oversight. I'm amazed no reviews have caught it. I would not have bought into this setup had I known.

                                  Does a USB-C wireless headset dongle work on the TwinView dock? They are confirmed working on the phone itself, but I have not seen if the TwinView USB-C port is just charging capable.

Even with the ROG Phone 3 alone, without any additional accessory, you can map the excellent triggers on its side to quite a few on-screen controls. These even support swipes and variable pressure and can be partitioned into 4 buttons. It is industry-leading stuff and is generally done at such a low system level that it just works and is pretty undetectable by games. With the Kunai 3 Gamepad, you can take full advantage of said mapping.

                                    You can read more about how the mapping itself works in our full ROG Phone 3 review. https://www.gsmarena.com/asus_rog_phone_3-review-2137.php

The feature doesn't work with any other third-party controllers.
