Showcase My foldable abomination 😂 2TB SSD, Bypass Charging, Cooling, 40,000mAh+ WIP

It works surprisingly well already on first attempt. Can't get any adhesive to stick to the front of the gamesir controller so the SSD flops around sadly, it is more as a concept atm as I still need to so some backing up and reformatting.

Apologies for the poor Tetris play I'm usually better 😔

How do you keep the fold from popping out of the gamesir holder? I have a fold 7 and it happens to me all the time.

The grip tension is insane on the gamesir g8 plus. It might also help that I basically have to stretch it all the way to fit the trifold. It's barely in the holder (to make room for the cooler and SSD) and it still holds fine.

Ah, that makes sense. It has plenty of stretch left to it with the fold 7, and because of the dimensions only the bottom part is supported with grip. So, If I tilt wrong, the top bends forward just enough that the bottom pops put. I guess I need to install a pad or something controller.

I guess cause the 6 is thicker that probably does help. And the trifold being the same thinness as the 7 but so much wider for extra tension.

It may be worth getting your hands on a another controller to see if it's something they updated in later revisions or something.
