I do not quite understand this controller.

Is that a D-pad or a sliding pad like the 3DS?

Also are those dual analog sticks or more sliding pads?

Oh, yes other sites have made the same observation, ask why would bundle these as the note is too large. The Note 8 is only 8.26" and the gamepad is 5.42" wide so only 1.42" would stick out on each side, it weighs 11.07 oz the gamepad 6.88 oz so around what a 10.1" tab weighs
