I have no use for a slide out keyboard, but I love that these PC handhelds are trying out weird shit to see what sticks.

    I wish slide out keyboards would make a comeback on high end phones. I might actually play mobile games (but not gachas). Touch controls feel like garbage to me, not to mention blocking the screen with your thumbs.

    Get one of those gamepad cradles with USB-C (but don't cheap out on it).

    Problem with those is portability and convenience. Work breaks, waiting rooms, etc., I'm not going to have a controller with me so a slideout keyboard works better. Any situation I'd play mobile games with a controller would probably be a situation I could just bring a Switch or Steam Deck.
