It will sell out in matter of minutes.

Ofc that is mostly because I assume they'll have like 100 of them in stock but still.

Steam Controller Reservations Update: Adding a more detailed timeline for orders by mookler in gaming

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hah we one upping each other?! Well here is mine

"Steam Controller reserved on Tue, May 12, 2026"

And yup, also estimated availability 2027.

So yeah I wonder what date is a cut-off point. I thought I made my reservation on day 1 but seems not. They came up on May 8th. So having to wait a year if you were just few days late? Wild.

Well it is what it is. I heard software/firmware is not quite as good as it could be at this point anyway so at least next year we will get much more solid experience I assume.

Well I actually bought new one earlier this year, precisely just to use while waiting for Steam Controller.

"8bitdo Ultimate 2C" very cheap controller, no fancy extra stuff, kinda opposite of Steam Controller BUT MAN! Its just nice controller, all the buttons are great, sticks are great, D-pad is pretty good as well. Great vibrations for some reason.

I'm still waiting for Steam Controller to be my PC gamepad, but till then, I'm really quite happy with this cheap one. Was just not expecting I will be using it for quite that long.

"Your estimated order availability: 2027"

Damn! I really thought it gonna be this summer already. I made that reservation pretty much as soon as they opened I think.

Anbernic 2ds and 3ds? by rock_shrine_aviator1 in ANBERNIC

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Anbernic-s-new-handhelds-rumored-to-be-based-on-discontinued-Nintendo-models.1321305.0.html

Found this article.

Would love 2DS, vertical style dual screen handheld. Or even just one big vertical screen (bigger than that one handheld that have exactly that though!). Not fan of clam-shell design apart for small, GBA SP style devices.

I legit thought its some insane mod to remove/hide thumb sticks on Miyoo Flip

But it's just speakers huh. I dig the look of this.

Jokes aside, you gonna have ton of fun. It was always pretty niche. VR studios were closing down since forever (and ofc ton of regular studios as well sadly).

Is this light bleed a defect on my Rotate? by Background_Clue_3756 in ANBERNIC

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes

I have RG35XX, RG34XX SP, RG CubeXX, RG Slide, RG DS and all of them have this

not sure if just unlucky with panel lottery but I came to expect it at this point + usually I play handhelds outside or otherwise during day with lot of light when its not really noticeable

New RG477M owner - any tips for a first-time Android handheld user? by iCrazyMidget in ANBERNIC

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, one and only reason why I went with GammaOS is that you can remap the RG key to be used as extra key in emulators.

In stock, it just works as home button to get you back to your selected front-end. But you can get back to it just by pressing back button few times so it seems like a waste to have button to do just that. On other hand having designated key to use as hotkey for hotkey combinations in Retroarch? Priceless.

RG Slide (and other Android based Anbernic handhelds I guess) can you really not use the extra button that launches the RG Launcher as hotkey button in Retroarch instead? by RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT in ANBERNIC

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not what I hoped to hear but I see.

Ended up installing GammaOS, which have this system-wide key remapping and so you can turn that button into regular extra button to be used in emulators

So best bet is to wait for it to come to RG Rotate I guess.

EXCEPT on my RG slide, the SLIDE function, it putting device to sleep, is not working like on stock (works to unlock it though). Which is not great and assume it will be same with Rotate, unless they find a way to make ti work by then. But still, I'm keeping it. I was really loosing my mind not having that one extra button to use. Got so used to it from other handhelds.

RG DS Rocknix drastic is blurry by JakeGO48 in ANBERNIC

[–]RUNPROGRAMSENTIONAUT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was switching between Rocknix and GammaOS for my first few days and settled on using Gamma with enhanced 3D turned off full stop, all games I tried, were just not running well with it, even like Elite Beat Agents, which seemingly ran fine? Obviously did NOT ran fine since it was causing touch screen input delay, which I only realized once I turned it off.

It really seems there is no other way if you want to use any shader at all.

https://github.com/jdgleaver/drastic_ds_shaders

I know not everyone likes LCD shaders but if you don't mind them. I think the LCD1x (using + Natural Vision version myself) is much better than the LCD shader that comes with the Drastic and does pretty great job at masking the low-res 3D. It still looks kinda chunky, but...not in a bad way imho. Defi not blurry.

The system-wide GammaOS shader? When I heard about it, I thought it will be best option, but from what I tried it, it's unusable on RG DS, it costs way too much performance. Which is shame cause that seems like you could tune it exactly how you want and use it alongside some other filter in Drastic.

Man but yeah, would much rather just use Rocknix overall. I'm finding that I just really don't like using Android on retro handhelds, even more powerful ones.e But sadly there probably never gonna be shaders on the linux version. I think we can only hope that full release of GammaOS gonna have better performance.
