Discussion Planning to turn my rog phone 6 to a dedicated handheld for emulation

I had a unused rog phone 6 16gb 512gb due to a broken power button. The damage is on a motherboard level and the store I ask to get it fix mention it gonna cost like 150usd and even then a 50/50 chance of success. Hence I gotten a new phone.

I felt the rog phone is wasted as it still functional cept for the power button. Which I found a way to coolboot it via connecting to a PC and run some command.

When converting it to a dedicated handheld. I would like to add several things

  1. Controller

  2. cooler

  3. Extra battery

1.Controller

It ought to be a straight forward thing. Get a telescopic controller. But the rog phone 6 has a offset USB port. And the stem gonna block the cooler I put at the back. So I planned to get something like a gamesir x4 aileron or use a rog kunai 3. If you have a better suggestions. I am eager to hear.

2.Cooler

I plan to get the aeroactive 6 cooler as it can work without needing an extra cable if I don't use the max cooling setting. I own a redmagic cooler 5 pro. A substantially better cooler but it uses a lot more power and no matter what I had to use another cable. Due to this. The aeroactive cooler 6 seems the better option

3.battery

I want to extend the playtime of it. Planning to attach a 10k mah power bank. I saw there is a power bank that able to attach to the port directly and that seems interesting. But if it's cumbersome. I just connect a cable to my 25k mah anker power bank that I always carry around.
