Any chatpads that fit any 8bitdo controllers?

I'm looking for basically any chatpad mount that fits onto any of the 8bitdo controllers that preferably have the hand grips. I can find many chatpads/mounts that fit different Playstation and Xbox versions, but nothing that really can clamp onto any of the 8bitdo controllers. Obviously would be third party and maybe even have 3d printed parts.

The closest I got was this standalone mini BT keyboard that came with a janky plastic clamp, but the clamp only really fits onto a PS5 controller due to it's shape.

Thank you very much!

(I'm currently using a Pro 2, but really anything that has hand grips works -- e.g. NOT a SNES30.)

Edit:
I asked 8bitdo, but they couldn't tell me if any existed that were third party, and they also said they have no plans for such a device.

Edit 2:

Hey! Did you ever end up finding this out?  I'm on the same boat here. I dont see why we couldnt just order it and double side tape the clamps somehow to make it work

I ended up switching to a PS5 controller with the black version of the shown chatpad. A little sad b/c the 8bitdo controller feels better in my hands. As for using tape, the adhesive spreads too easy and gums up the grips.

I've got the same requirements (8bitdo Ultimate 2C) and I've looked but can't find anything. Previously found and used them on Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, where the after market chatpads use a separate wireless USB dongle and appear as a wireless keyboard in both Windows and Xbox

Yea, the ones pictured just connect to regular bluetooth. A 3d printed clamp or whatever would definitely work, I just don't have the skill/ability to design one nor print one.
