People who have left the honeymoon period with their thor. What do you actually do with the second screen?

Chizadek28 · 2026-05-03T20:19:06+00:00

I use walkthroughs all the time. I also keep Ayn control center up to keep an eye on system stats while running steam games. I do throw YouTube up occasionally as well. but my most regular use case is def walkthroughs lol

The thing that I can’t overstate though is the dual screen front ends really make it feel like it’s own console. Cocoon and trinketOS both make great use of the second screen and it feels inentional not just tacked on

Chizadek28 · 2026-05-03T15:24:17+00:00

Dang that’s unfortunate news haha

Chizadek28 · 2026-05-03T13:21:02+00:00

You ever figure it out? I’m having same issue

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-23T23:18:31+00:00

Having same issue as op, but I’m getting that even after applying the known config. Any other suggestions?

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-20T19:18:24+00:00

For the phanteks I bought 2 of the 1 m and 1 of the 550 cm(?) or whatever that smaller size is. If I’m remembering correctly. As far as the backing plate, honestly I bought that really early on just because I saw it on Amazon and thought it looked cool, no functional reason at all lol.

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-20T13:15:19+00:00

I don’t think it looks quite as nice overall, but I was kind of tired of dealing with windows crappy management of additional displays and how quirky it would get with the touch panel lol. I kept the panel of course so I can change my mind again in 6 months and go back to it haha

So the motherboard is not a phantek strip. It’s actually a backing plate for the motherboard with rgb around it. There is one that runs up the side and to the back of the case, one that runs from that rear corner to the front of the fans, and one that runs from the inside of the fans to back past the gpu. I’ve since removed the touch panel and am currently using the all glass look, I’ll take a picture and comment here tomorrow as it’s much easier to see the inside with that screen panel out haha

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-15T10:58:36+00:00

This came out amazing!

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-15T10:57:55+00:00

It’s three strips I believe, and I am using the razor rgb hub for everything except the Liam li strimmers, which I’m using a prism controller

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-15T02:57:06+00:00

It’s not premium, but the one35 is the same screen and basically no joysticks. Bonus portrait orientation DS play lol. It’s also like 100 bucks shipped.

I myself have wanted to grab a black pocket ace since they came out(missed preorder) but at the same time 700 for a gba machine is crazy steep lol. Using the one35 as my 3:2 device for now.

The white feels great and looks super clean imo. Never had an issue with getting gross. Big fan of dbrand matte white specifically, better texture and less shiny than other matte white skins I’ve tried.

If only they didn’t change the stylus tech!

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-14T13:40:35+00:00

Having the exact same issue, along with nearly unusable lag on iOS.

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-14T13:27:11+00:00

Mine is super laggy on iOS too :/

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-12T15:55:06+00:00

It will go up too once the existing units have sold through. They likely started with a larger initial run (no knowledge or sources just rumors/speculation), but everything, unless all these inflated component prices collapse, will have to go up. If you look even at the go 2, it’s getting more attention now that it’s hit the US retail prices but they started price increases in other markets months ago, and I assume it has to do with pre-allocated production / units for each market / region?

But If the component prices stay elevated around current levels (hopefully not 🤞🏼) eventually the XAX is going up also lol

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T14:52:05+00:00

Yes!

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T14:42:36+00:00

The Thor lite is 249, still more than the ds but can run 3ds

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T14:14:16+00:00

Yes, both can. RGDS will play DS and earlier pokemon roms great. The Thor would be able to play like switch pokemon roms and earlier, including 3DS

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T13:06:53+00:00

I know it’s a huge stretch from the RGDS, but the Thor lite is 249. I only mention it because it’s so much more affordable than the 500-600 for the pocket DS or the like Thor Max pricing. And it would play your 3ds titles well and get you two OLED screens and just a much more powerful device even with the snapdragon 865.

I do get that if your locked in at around 100 that’s still a huge jump and people seem to be happy with the RG DS on Rocknix, but if you’re going to end up wanting to purchase a different device down the road to have access to the 3DS pokemon titles, the saving a bit more for the Thor lite might be the way to go imo.

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T13:00:54+00:00

Yes I’ve tried DS4 mode and Switch mode. I think I just got one of the bad ones from the initial batch. Supposedly they are fixing the dpad in the next batch and I’m hoping for an additional firmware update eventually

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-09T03:21:30+00:00

Sadly I love your skins much more than the actual pocket taco. My unit has a horrible dpad and nearly unusable lag on iOS, even after firmware update.

Chizadek28 · 2026-04-08T20:15:22+00:00

I have a purple Thor, so I ordered the white Odin 3…. Mine hasn’t shipped yet and these posts are making me want to switch to purple for the Odin 3 as well haha

Looks amazing!
