The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "Every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in Hell fire!" [https://sunnah.com/bulugh/2/368] For those who insist on scrutinizing acts and calling them Bidah (innovation) should pay attention to the following Fatwa.
Ibn Taymiyyah:
Question: When one recites Qur'an [in Salah], and he counts [the verses] with a prayer beads in Salah, will his Salah be rendered void or not?
Answer: If it's intended from this question that the person counts the verses, or he counts the repetition of one Surah; for example, the Surah قل هو الله أحد with prayer beads, then there is no problem in this; however, if from the question something else is intended, then one should explain it, and Allah knows best".
Source: Al-Fatqwa Al-Kubra. Vol 2, Pg. # 333.
The following things can be deduced from the aforementioned ruling:
1. Using a Tasbih is permissible;
2. Using a Tasbih inside Salah is permissible;
3. Repeating one specific Surah several times, whilst counting it with a Tasbih in Salah, is absolutely fine.
The aforesaid three points are not proven from the Prophet (saw) nor Salaf.
