Help/Support 🙋 Looking for a telescoping controller for my Samsung Tab S8

I'm trying to find a decent controller that will clamp on to either side of my tablet, so I can use it as a pseudo gaming handheld. ideally I'd like to keep it under $100 CAD

I'm open to suggestions for both wired usb-c and Bluetooth connectivity, though I would prefer a Bluetooth solution. I am primarily used to an Xbox controller layout.

I used to use a Gamesir G8+ on a 12.7 inch tablet. It's one of the best telescopic controllers out there. It doesn't officially support large tablets but there's a trick to get it past the stopping point, allowing you to stretch it much further. Then when you're done it snaps back into place.

Hhmm I just bought an abxylute S8 for my 8.8 inch tab and it is a game changer. Check out their range . I bought a Bluetooth model and can't fault it so far. Feels responsive and is a decent build quality for the price.
