    Most likely I’m going to get a telescopic controller or that gamesir pocket taco. Since I’m playing GBA mostly. You got any suggestion? Seems like gamesir is often recommended, the g8 and the x5 lite

      I had the GameSir X2 back in the day. I really liked the aesthetic, but passthrough charging didn’t work with the PinePhone, and it also didn’t work at all with my Google Nexus (an old phone). Later, I switched to the Backbone One, and it worked perfectly with all the devices I had. So good drivers are important. But that was quite some time ago - I’m pretty sure many things have improved on the GameSir side. Later I sold both and switched to a dedicated device.

      I’d watch a recent video from Russ about phone controllers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYElqO7EdXo He mentions the Taco one, it indeed looks cute 🙂

        Noted on the backbone. Seems good, albeit expensive. Maybe I can get it on discount or with coupons.

        But I’m probably going to go with a Bluetooth telescopic one. I can clamp my phone vertically with spacers to make it like that magicx one 40 in the article lol.
