You would make -- and I mean this in the nicest possible way -- an excellent Swift influencer. Congratulations on getting monetized and not burning your house down.
I just got mine! So far so good! Love that I don't have to lift up off the bars to navigate through menus and everything. Steering isn't as important to me and being able to interface with the zwift app better.
What I want to use this for is to use as a bluetooth controller for a playing other video games during more boring Zone2 rides. I'm unsure if you can use the Zwift Play controller as a general bluetooth gamepad for other consoles/devices/PC/Mac?
I figured that would be something struggled with. Since I’ve started riding rollers instead of my smart trainer I don’t use a towel but if I go back to using my smart trainer I could see the towel getting in the way for sure!
Hi Jacob, I’m perplexed on the need or usefulness for steering. Unlike a real bike; I have never crashed, never been taken down by another bone-head, and never run off the road. Maybe “Crash Mode” is a future feature of Zwift that would add to the fun…. For the limited time I’m on it, I actually appreciated not steering while the collarbone was healing……. Why is steering a big deal?
Great question honestly! It’s really not a big deal if you’re just riding casually on Zwift. Where it really becomes fun and useful is in any form of Zwift racing. You can move into or out of draft and can also move so that someone else can’t draft off you. Also it gives you the ability to apex corners as well. I also really love the ability to interact in game at my thumbs instead of whatever device I’m using.

We need to have ribs and pool time. And maybe learn to clean something really well 😉
@@ten96cycling promise me you won't burn down my pool ;-)

Agree I love being able to navigate with just the touch of a button!
I have a set and I love them, make Zwift a much better experience rather than having to lean forward to reach my laptop.
Truth!!! Well worth the money to me.
Impulse buy for me also! Thanks for the review. You are inspiring me to Zwift race.
@traciareieli6532 You should TOTALLY try a Zwift race. It's super hard, but super fun and has definitely made me a better cyclist!

“I Zwift on an iPhone”………………proceeds to Zwift on a 36” TV 😂😂😂😂
iPhone connected to HDMI via TV 😂😂😂
@@ten96cycling I do the same when im travelling. Just connect the phone to the hotel room TV & away I go......👍👍
The get in the way of the towel I put on my handlebar top but I really like them.

Great review, thanks. No problems with the new right control?
So far so good!!!

Why the F do you zwift on an iphone?
Get yourself a cheap old windows desktop computer with a gtx 970 or newer and zwift in 4k ultra.. jeez
Omg how did I miss this comment 😂😂😂
Would like to understand what happen if I use with another steering device like Elite Rizer...

US, UK and EU only. Zwift’s sales bias absolutely sucks bigley.
