Pros

  • Unmatched build quality and aesthetics. It feels and looks like a very expensive device for the asking price.
  • Very pocketable.
  • High resolution 1024 x 768 screen allows for crisp images of your retro games.
  • Very good d-pad, no accidental diagonals.
  • Shoulder and trigger buttons are replaceable. Comes prepackaged with two other sets of buttons with different designs.
  • Nice box – not a literal benefit but definitely worth mentioning.
  • Cool RGB strips up top and at the back.
  • Programmable buttons are also LED backlit.

Cons

  • Device gets warm when emulating demanding games.
  • Emulates well up to PS1. Struggles with some games beyond that.
  • Front facing speakers are not great.
