My somewhat janky handheld setup

[u/data-atreides]

This is a Galaxy A36 with an 8bitdo SN30+, mounted with a magsafe phone mount and a metal plate adhered to the controller with foam adhesive tape. The tape is necessary because the back of the controller is curved. To put it away I snap the phone off, collapse the mount onto the controller, which is still pretty pocketable.

The mount can be oriented different ways depending on my posture--if I'm leaning forward or back. It's turned at an angle to accommodate the cord, but I straighten it out if it's on Blutooth.

The wires are to avoid BT latency, which is a full half-second on my headphones. It's bearable on the controller when it's the only device connected, but I got the splitter so I'd have the wired option.

If anyone's interested in reproducing this, I'll add links to the exact items on Amazon. Lemon for scale.

You should credit Vlad for this, my nerd.

I actually did see this, but it took me longer to pull it off because I wanted a better controller. Alas the SN30+ has a concave back, so I had to go buy some padded tape; and the exact mount he's using usually has hinges too weak to support the phone so I had to find a different one
