I wish slide out keyboards would make a comeback on high end phones. I might actually play mobile games (but not gachas). Touch controls feel like garbage to me, not to mention blocking the screen with your thumbs.
Yeah this is the reason I mainly play stylus only DS games on my phone, since the controls translate very well making it feel like official mobile ports.
Problem with those is portability and convenience. Work breaks, waiting rooms, etc., I’m not going to have a controller with me so a slideout keyboard works better. Any situation I’d play mobile games with a controller would probably be a situation I could just bring a Switch or Steam Deck.

Ibwant a slideout keyboars so I can type normally
I really miss the keyboard on my old Motorola Droid 2. Still wasn’t any good for gaming honestly, but it’s way better for typing than a touchscreen.

Ya that’s generally what I’ve done as well. Inbento is one of the few times I’ve enjoyed playing a mobile game.
Get one of those gamepad cradles with USB-C (but don’t cheap out on it).
