I kinda have the money. Not really. Well… I’d survive til next pay. But if I wait and it goes up in price then it’s gonna be harder to get one.

    The Retroid Pocket looks awesome. I’ve been eyeing a Steam Deck, but tbh I’d have my fun cut out for me with just a retro handheld that can emulate stuff up til Gamecube. Do you like it?

      It’s growing on me very quickly. Been playing a lot of Chrono Trigger on it right now. It’s a lot more comfortable to hold than the Steam Deck too. Plus, it supports both Android and Linux. There are already versions of Rocknix and Batocera available for it. It has one of the best looking displays I’ve ever seen as well.

      That said, Steam Deck is still my main go to, because at the end of the day it is a full fledged PC.

        Thanks! I hear a lot of people complaining about the ergonomics. So it isn’t uncomfortable to use for lengths of time? Apparently they haven’t released their own official grip yet either, so I might wait until they do.

          I got the dbrand grip for it with stick grips, it’s actually really nice to hold, certainly better than my switch lite (seriously that thing gives me RSI, really needed something to grip onto.) Which also has a kickstand attachment if you want. It’s overall though very comfortable, I find it better to hold up over propping it up with something, seems to keep it at a more natural angle for me.

          I also switched to clicky buttons on mine, it’s definitely a preference but they feel better to me vs the stock ones on my partner’s.

          I got a set of grips for it, but I’m not going to use them unless I’m playing a game using the analog sticks. That’s the only part that’s uncomfortable for me. On dpad-centric games I’m finding it very comfortable on it’s own. Also just want to add that it has probably one of the best dpads I’ve ever used. Very accurate inputs, and just the right amount of tactile feedback without being quite as loud as the Xbox controller.
