Does anyone use Bluestacks at all? If you own a phone IMO its kinda useless to have Bluestacks installed your PC.

It's useful for running mobile-only games on a PC, where you get much more precision. A lot of people don't actually know that from the start (or an early version), Android had supported keyboard+mouse functionality.

I don't use Bluestacks, but I use the emulator included in Android Studio for development. For one thing, it's more convenient than hooking up a phone all the time and it allows me to quickly test my software with different resolutions and screen sizes. But testing on actual hardware is certainly important too.

 

I think most people use Bluestacks to play mobile games on their desktop with keyboard and mouse and no battery constraints etc. but I could be wrong.

I don't use Bluestacks as its piece of sh. But I have used other Android emulators. More before I had tabled because phone screens are tiny for some games. And some even after until I got myself new phone. Now I have very little need. Mainly as my main mobile game is also on Steam.

I don't use it myself, but it does seem very popular with mobile gaming YouTubers I follow who use it to stream and/or make videos on game content. 

 

I'm probably getting old, but I can't game much on a phone as the screen is simply too small. I use tablets, but the annoying thing is there isn't such a thing as a high performance Android gaming tablet. Got an iPad also, which although powerful, has a different set of problems making it not perfect.
