I know Retroid are kind of the more “affordable” option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don’t really want to spend more money on them. At this point I’d probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.

I’ve been wondering this exact thing lately. I’ve got a retro handheld that is breaking because the company seems to have used cheap parts internally, and they no longer support repairs or selling the parts. After only a year of owning it, I feel pretty annoyed, so started looking at alternatives. Steam deck was one I was considering, but the price point means I’ll need to save for a while.
