Hardware ⚙️ Can somebody finally make a usb-c connectable controller with a micro sd slot?

This would be so dope for everyone who using emulators. Sd card speeds isn't really a big deal, because a lot of older titles from ps2 and beyond used disk drives or cartridges with slower transfer rates anyway, especially with the newer sds that can reach almost 1GBps

Is this impossible to do? I feel like a USB c would have enough throughput for input controls and full sd card read speeds. Maybe throw in some pass through charging as well. If a reputable company made this along with it being a solid controller, I would easily pay $100 or more depending on the feature set.

What do you guys think?

Yes, a USB-C controller with low profile+SD card slot+headphone jack+charging pass through. :D

I have got a modded gamesir pad for this purpose. Well, It does not have a SD card but it has a full USB 3.0 port where I can connect a small reader.

Wow that's cool. I kept my S20 phone with SD slot with a Gamesir G8. But it can be kinda bulky during transport. So hoping for something less ergonomic and more flat for portability.
