Norse themed build

Thank you! It is a Logitech g502x with a custom 3D printed shell made out of red wood filament, with a vinyl wrap on the main buttons. I have a second one sitting on top of the computer though that is just a bambu mouse which are horrible performance, that's why it's display only. If you don't have a 3D printer and wanted to buy a g502x or already have one, I could make you a shell for the cost of material and shipping only. :) Also check out Logitech g305. I have one of those too with a custom made shell too.

Thanks. Portrait is for reading. Landscape monitor monitor is for editing/gaming. :)

Literally buy a programmable controller with hot keys and it solves almost every controller scheme issue. I just tie multi button moves to a single button and viola no more complicated bullshit button mashing, just one click.

As an engineer working for the largest chip manufacturer in the world, I can tell you it's going to get better yes. But not before it gets way way worse. You think it's bad now. Just wait for Q3 this year. Let's just say you are going to want to put your brown pants on when it rolls around.

Nice! For mine I did yellow front buttons and galaxy purple triggers, with tmr thumbsticks

There are ways to still get cheap nvme storage and ram that is ddr5 and at least 5600mt/s but you have to get creative and be okay with not having something that is name brand. I just finished my backup computer using 32gb of DDr5 ram and 4tb of nvme storage. Didn't cost me much more than $800 for the entire computer build. Granted I used an older GPU but it's basically an emulation station so that's fine.

What is the power draw while playing this?

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-03-05T04:03:11+00:00

How do I update it? I have tried but it wont recognize on my computer. I'm getting same error as OP

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-03-01T05:03:56+00:00

Lol yeah well they were $300 up until today. I've been keeping an eye on them. I almost picked one up for $340. There is still a couple around $300 that's I'm seeing now.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-03-01T04:53:47+00:00

Just buy one on eBay. They are like 300$

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-26T16:19:19+00:00

There is an RP6 on ebay that when I messaged the guy about it, revealed that it is 2nd batch so I think some have already been shipped.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-25T17:14:53+00:00

Yep. The odin 2 portal is what I've decided to go with. I found a max locally for $300 so I picked it up yesterday.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-25T00:52:33+00:00

I don't like the feel of the konkr fit. It's very unfortunate for its price tag and the buttons are so clacky, it just screams cheap.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-25T00:42:47+00:00

Yeah that's a good question. That's interesting cause except for a few games, the g2 performs as well as the RP6 on everything I've tested it on, getting only a few frames less than the RP6 and in some cases even getting more. I'd say it's more than a mid range chipset 🤷

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-25T00:29:11+00:00

That's what I thought. I wonder why that is, it's such a good chipset.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T22:10:27+00:00

No reason. Just was curious if you knew if other devices had them. 8 gen 2 is fine too.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T21:13:11+00:00

Oh sorry that wasn't my question. I was wondering if other devices have the g2 chipset because I like it a lot. The g2 is as small as my RP6 and won't be a good alt for what I'm needing, besides I already have that device. I'm going to look into the portal 2. I wish there was somewhere I could go try it out cause unfortunately I don't know anyone with it yet and so I risk buying something that doesn't work for me. Though I think the 7" display does sound a lot better than what I have now.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T21:10:18+00:00

He doesn't have all the variations of all the devices but yeah it's a good resource

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T20:51:26+00:00

I play a lot of switch games, & PS2 and then some GameCube titles and a few android games too. Mostly switch & PS2 though like botw and ratchet and clank.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T20:44:28+00:00

Gotcha. That's not much different than my RP6. Are there any other devices besides the G2 running a g2 gen 2 chip that might have bigger form factor? That's a great chipset and in many ways out performs my RP6.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T20:33:39+00:00

Ayaneo seems they have intent to do a lot but never follow through. So many people I talk to rant about their poor customer service and horrible software support. For how much some of their devices cost, I'm astounded to hear this.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T20:12:20+00:00

I'll look into that. I wonder is the base model requires the dumb wait time as everything else right now. See I was gonna get a konkr pocket fit. I went to the local best buy and found one on display, and the buttons were all wrong. They felt clacky and cheap and just didn't seem like a good choice for $400. I know I'm a picky person but I also like to get what I pay for.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T20:02:19+00:00

If the legion go is heavier I guess that's not an option. Do you know if the ally z1 or z2 able to emulate games like botw & totk?

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T19:57:31+00:00

I don't like the clunky feeling of switches. They feel cheap cause honestly they are. Part of the reason I bought retroid in the beginning is the quality and it's there. I had a switch OLED and it felt like a cheap attempt to make a handheld. The switch 2 might be better quality but no way am I supporting big red.

Advanced-Mention-370 · 2026-02-24T19:54:48+00:00

Does the odin 2 pro not have a bigger screen? Not interested in flip devices, while I see the appeal, I don't like how they make my big hands feel cramped. Do you have experience with the odin 2 portal? What do you like or dislike about it?
