Lenovo launches new telescopic controller for smartphones and tablets with pass-through charging
The Legion GamePad G3 is one of three accessories that Lenovo has unveiled for the Legion Y700 Gen 5. For reference, the others are the Legion G9 2026 handheld dock and the Legion Y700 Arcade Dock. While those accessories fully surround Lenovo's latest gaming tablet, the Legion GamePad G3 leaves the tablet's top and bottom edges free.
In that sense, the Legion GamePad G3 rivals existing options like the GameSir G8 Plus (curr. $79.99 on Amazon). For instance, the GamePad G3 can extend up to 213 mm and has removable silicone pads for attaching larger or smaller devices. However, the accessory may be incompatible with foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold7 because of their Type-C port positioning.
Setting that aside, the Legion GamePad G3 measures 197 x 88 x 47 mm and weighs roughly 135 g. According to Lenovo, both colour options come with Hall effect joysticks and elastic silicone ABXY buttons, plus a conductive silicone d-pad and triggers.
Lenovo has priced the Legion GamePad G3 at CNY 169 (~$25) in China. By extension, the accessory should also be compatible with the Legion Tab Gen 5. Presented during MWC 2026 in Barcelona at the start of March, the Legion Tab Gen 5 is already available to purchase in some markets, too.
