For now I’m looking at the Gamesir X2 wired type-C controller:

But maybe you know alternative controllers that are equally good or even better? Would be nice if they have a similar form factor.

Thanks!

    It’s actually got a soft padding inside the clip and a hollow sort of “bridge” area specifically to avoid that. Sometimes the bottoms get phantom pushed when you’re putting your phone in but once it’s secure it doesn’t actually put pressure on them if the buttons are up top. The bottom is flat so you want to avoid using it with them oriented down. A case helps too as it adds even more resistance to button presses. I used it on my pixel 6 and now on my 7pro and have no issues. Many many hours of dead cells in the books.

    8bitdo also makes a small version of the SN30 that’s “Xbox” branded specifically for mobile gaming and has the Xbox buttons and layout. That version has a clip with an even more pronounced hollow for buttons on both sides. I REALLY like that clip, it’s much more convenient for travelling but I find my hand cramps when I use that smaller controller so i only take it for trips if I absolutely can’t make room for the bigger controller.
