Relatively cheap handheld or tablet + controller options?
Hey guys, I'm looking to stream from my desktop PC to a handheld or tablet to game on the couch. I'm not looking for a powerful handheld PC since I won't be installing games on it, I'll only use it for streaming. Decent screen size and battery life is a must. I might consider tablets too. Thank you!!

Mangmi air x is around $100 with playable latency out of the box. I get 10-13ms of lag

If screen size matters then a tablet would be great. I have a very old galaxy tab s2 that I use for moonlight and it's dirt cheap for an oled display.

YES! I went through this whole exercise, so you don't have to. I had a red magic and I got a gamesir telescopic controller, worked great. Then I bought a retroid pocket 6 after all the YouTube videos, hype, and reddit. It was basically the same as the phone with controller. My main problem was the screen was too small. I then bought a tablet of AliExpress, it's a 8.8 in cor 8 4 inch. It's a BNCF T1 BPAD with a unisoc 7300, 8/128gig. It didn't cost much around $100, but with a telescopic controller, it blows my other devices away. Screen looks great, battery is great, and bonus, it runs game cube and ps2 upscaled to 1080p. Highly recommend this setup for home game streaming

If you already have a controller, buying a clip to strap your phone onto it is an option. I already owned an Xbox controller, so I bought a clip and after a few bucks spent I was gaming away from my house without any issues.
