What do you use it for? I have my phone sitting on a small holder/stand next to my screen both at home and at work. What's your use case, if you don't mind sharing?
Keyboard and mouse input for the phone is a gamechanger for me. Having a manipulatable window that I can drag and drop files to is super nice as well.
Also since Slay the Spire doesn't have cross-saving and all my progress is on my phone I can play it without staring at my phone.
I guess I don't really have a reason to access my phone via my computer. Everything I use has a desktop interface — Signal, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, my radio app, my podcasts app, Spotify, etc.
But it's good to have alternatives if something comes up! Thanks for the tip!
