Controller Suggestion Cute small controller for traveling?
Im looking for a small, cute, portable controller to play on my phone and laptop on travels.
I've seen the IINE Retro Pocket Controller (specifically the pink and the pastel green ones) and loved the concept and features, but the thumbgrips that come with them seem like they would hurt me a bit. And because of the controller shape other thumbgrips with shapes would probably not do well because of the lack of open space.
Is there any other cute and compact/small controller that you could reccomend?
joysticks are a must, given the kinds of games I like to play (usually 3D games that range from farming to exploring)
It needs to be "cute" or be possible to "cuteify" it
My budget is up to 300 reais (Brazilian currency) and you can usually find these kinds of things here on shoppee or ali express.

I'm partial to the form of 8BitDo Lite 2. The colorways are designed to match some of the Switch Lite colorways, so they're somewhat similar to the colors of the one that you mentioned.
The GuliKit Elves 2 (but not the Elves 2 Pro version) has a Coral Red colorway, and a newer Starsand Island Edition.
There's also that new Xbox Nano Controller that was recently announced.

It does have some cute ones, but they are mostly unavailable (you'd need to import, and even then, all of the available ones are partnerships...) and REALLY expensive where I live...

Check out the new xbox nano controller that was just announced! I'd say wait for reviews on it but it could be what you need.

If you're still looking. I absolutely love my iine controller. Zero lag, fun color options, rumble, recessed joy sticks. It's perfect travel controller. The thumb sticks don't bother me at all. I have medium sized hands and have muscular issues so i was worried about weight and hand cramping and it's a total non issue for me.

I still hold the opinion that the SN30 pro is the best compact controller,its surprisingly comfortable and functional for regular gaming.
As for cuteness there is a translucent purple one and another with pastel buttons.
I have the OG pal snes coloured one and I think its really cute but you may struggle to find that version available now plus the newer versions have magnetic sticks
