  • RP5, my new bestie
Color: Black
Great device! Excellent battery life. There is a bit of setup required to get it going, as far as emulators are concerned but I have been able to play everything up to PS2, GameCube, even some Switch titles (LEGALLY OF COURSE).... Runs Xbox Remote play with grace and a good internet connection. Steam games play wonderfully via Moonlight, and if you're brave and patient enough Gamehub works great too. Build quality is excellent, device feels solid and substantial. OLED screen is amazing and brings life to older games and newer alike. Buttons feel great, good quality push to them. Sticks are hall effect and feel good and not cheap or stubby. Plays android games of course via Google Play Store. One thing to be aware of, I have larger hands and they can get a little cramped with the device after awhile. I would suggest getting the case addon that extends handles out much like a controller, well worth the money. ... show more

  • Amazing device!
Color: 16bit
This device never leaves my side. Can play tons of games.. more games than I have the time to play.. but I try. Switch GameCube ps2 3ds and everything else in between. Watched a YouTube video to get it set up and now I’m hooked. The oled screen is amazing and the battery life is too. Had to buy the grip made a world of a difference. And a boomerang case to fit it. ... show more

  • Good little gaming device
Color: Gc
Bought it as a gift for my husband’s birthday a year or so ago, and he still uses it pretty much every day. It works well for him and is pretty reliable. Makes it easy for him to play tons of games from the comfort of our bed. It’s a decent size for him to easily see the screen and is compatible with most games he wants to play on it. It is very loud and clear sounding and he had no issue setting it up. ... show more

  • Absolute best retro game console
Color: Black
I did a lot of research before hand and got this for a Xmas present for my teen. This is by far the most affordable and best quality retro game console. It’s actually consistently on top five list and considered a mid price but functions like a very top end system. It fits perfectly in my son’s large man sized hands comfortably. It sets up easily and is very sleek. It plays all his favorite games and he’s so happy! A big win for this mama! ... show more

  • Cheaper Steamdeck alternative, with some issues
Color: Black
Decent little device. Nice screen. Sub-optimal switch-style button layout, but it works. Feels well built, light but sturdy. I bought mine mostly just to be an indie Steamdeck alternative and Steam Link streaming device when at home. For the latter, it works good, assuming you can get a good 5GHz wifi connection. For the former, it's hit and miss. I use GameNative to interface with Steam (this is how I play the majority of my games on this system so keep this in mind going forward here). It works well, for the most part. It does cloud saves and achievements and all that. Some games have trouble, for most you'll have to tinker with the settings to get going. It's definitely not a 1-step easy peasy install-and-you're-good-to-go process for most games. There's an "Apply Known Config" option for easy setup, but I find it doesn't work half the time. The bigger issue, however, is that if you're planning to install and play games via SD card, you're going to run into some data bottlenecking. Primarily, the SD card hardware on this machine is not great. The read/write speed is somewhat slow, though I have no hard data on this. Downloading takes forever, and some games take several minutes to load up--this depends heavily on the game, some load fairly swiftly. But I know it is the hardware because I've run games on my Switch with the same, or similar, A2 SD cards and never had issues, and transferring files via PC (the better way of getting games onto your system, instead of downloading) also doesn't take long either. So some games will need to be installed locally on the device if you don't want to wait forever on the loading times with certain games (most load fine, or "could be better" sort of fine). It's a great system, but a shame that the SD card data rates seem too slow for a few select games. It can be a cheaper Steam Deck alternative, but the extra price you pay is the time you'll spend tinkering with settings to get games working properly. ... show more

  • Amazing device, one small (imo) drawback
Color: Black
I bought it a few weeks ago and honestly only have one complaint which ill adress at the end. For starters this thing is damn amazing at everything it does, and it does a lot, its so powerful you can play older pc games as well as older console and modern android games with some modern pc game ports, my favorites of that last category in specific are alien isolation and subnautica, both can and will run at 60fps smoothly when set to do so. The battery lasts for days on end when in lower gaming situations, and on high it will last an entire day damn near, i love this device. i dropped it accidentally and it bounced, it was outside and it fell out of my bag when traveling, absolutely took it like a champ, no cracked screen and it landed on it directly, not even a scratch, only a small scuff on the triggers and the palm rests, thats all. Amazing device super easy to use and customize i just wish it didnt restart itself every 30 seconds when the screen is just sitting off, sometimes ill have it sitting at a spot in a game that i wanted to save and it will restart without my consent, it doesnt do it often when games are active or background processes are running, its as if the device is restarting to make sure its still operational, unsure what that issue is caused from however that is honestly my only complaint, the rest is nothing but love and joy for this device, its amazing ... show more

  • Absolutely amazing, powerful, super portable handheld android emulation machine
Color: Gc
Awesome android emulation console. Only comes with 128gb of storage, so a large micro sd card is recommended since the games you'll more than likely want to load onto this thing are quite big and the size can add up fast. The OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous and the device feels amazing in the hands. Retroid makes a grip for this handheld that makes it a little bigger, but supposedly improves the ergonomics by a ton. If I could improve one thing, it would be for the left stick to be above the d-pad instead of below it. It's a relatively small thing, but would make this device so much more comfortable for playing more modern games. Anyway, this thing is pretty powerful and can play games from any retro console up to the 6th gen, some games from a more modern console, Windows games through Winlator, and native android games. This thing is the perfect size for portability and you really just can't beat that screen. Totally recommended, but probably not for total beginners like one of the other reviewers who expected games to come preloaded. ... show more
