I just wanted a pocketable device, so I decided to pick Mini over 5.

Originally, I wanted to order the white color but ended up choosing the black one because it makes the bezels and pillar boxes blend into the case. It also looks like a small SteamDeck 😅

When I’m not programming, I’m playing GTA III on it and earning RetroAchievements 😃

      It’s awesome! I wanted something with OLED screen (can’t play on LCD after using SteamDeck), pocketable, comfortable and powerful. It checks all the boxes for me.

      I only wish screen were a bit bigger. There is Retroid Pocket 5 with the same CPU and 5.5", but it’s not pocketable.

      Yeah that’s the only reason I don’t plan on getting one of these types of devices. I’ve got giant hands and anything that fits in my pocket like that is going to require me to angle my thumbs nearly against my palms to use the sticks 😭

      I found them very comfortable, but I have small hands 😄
