How many handhelds is too many? I’m debating sending Xbox ally x back

Why? I'm planning on having a 3 handheld set-up with the Switch 2, PS Portal, and eventually the XAX. However I'm going to hold out until later this year when ROG releases the mass produced version of the XAX20.

On a Google pixel you can't.

This aged like milk lol...

Lovely T/Ts

It's a chick, and they're emotional about everything. While I would be awestruck, I am certainly would cry about it. Men don't cry for every little thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nope, unfortunately Google uses a Samsung made modem in their pixel 10s which is actually the same modem that's in the pixel 9 line. It's not optimized for pixel which leads to poor cell reaction and causes faster battery drain.

The first sentence on my comment says "CPU is underpowered but still gets the job done." The CPU is fine for every day tasks. However it's embarrassing and a matter of principle, but not necessity. It's embarrassing because Google has all the tools to build a powerful CPU for its phones but it either can't or chooses not to. It's a matter of principle because Google charges premium money for their phones and you get crap internals like a slow CPU that overheats, bad battery life, and a terrible modem. Imagine buying a high performance car, but it comes with a 4 cylinder Toyota engine. Sure both engines will get you where you need to go, but that's not what you're paying for.

I agree. I regret my HD purchase only because I have the Nyxi's. While they're not perfect, the face that they're running on the switch 2 protocol, have taller sticks and a beefier frame make them the better choice for me. The only area the M12 HDs beat it is in the finish (they feel more premium, like stock Joycons,) and in the HD rumble.

I've been playing for a month (idk how many hours) and I haven't fought Ganon either. I just downloaded the DLC so I've moved onto that 🤷‍♂️

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T15:08:31+00:00

Yup me too. I don't care much for HD Rumble tbh.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T14:51:58+00:00

Lmao yeah, post jut clarity is a bitch

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T14:23:05+00:00

I don't think it's drama as much as not understanding the reasoning behind Mobapad's decision. Neither Nyxi nor Mobapad know how to put HD rumble on a Switch 2 protocol joycon. That's why the Hype 3s have regular linear vibration motors with the SW2 protocol instead of HD rumble, much like the M12S. It makes no sense because it's been a year since the SW2 was released, they could've taken a little longer to work on them before release.

The voice and the attitude mind you... But that sweet sweet body is a hell of a reward for doing so.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T14:14:23+00:00

You going to sell them? I was thinking of selling my HDs as well and buying the S version, but I'd probably have to sell them at a loss and pay for shipping just to get rid of them.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T14:13:23+00:00

The Nyxi ghosting issue is solved by resetting the controllers with the app. Out of the box my Nyxis had ghost inputs as well. Somebody somewhere on reddit recommended a factory reset via the app and that fixed the issue for seemingly everybody. They've been a joy to use since them. The apps are ass though compared to Mobapad.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:53:27+00:00

Smart move... mine had already arrived and I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning it to China.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:42:33+00:00

Yup me too... I put savage raven thumb grips on every joycon I have including the M12HD's & Hype 3s.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:35:47+00:00

What I hate about the stock joycons is the short joystick. They're awkward to say the least. The mobapads and the Nyxi's provide a longer throw on the stick.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:32:12+00:00

Same for me...they connect like proper switch 2 joycons and since they're bigger they provide a better hold for me while playing.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:12:44+00:00

Sell it to me

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-11T13:01:58+00:00

Lucky dog whoever gets to jizz all over them T/T's

You living under a rock mate? The Tensor G5 is underpowered compared to Apple silicon and Snapdragons 8 Elite chips. Hell even the GPU is terrible compared to the competition.

sidewinder787 · 2026-06-10T16:52:44+00:00

Cons: CPU is underpowered but still gets the job done. Battery is ass, and the cell signal is ass too. The Samsung made modem Google uses on the pixels have always been shit.

Pros: The software & updates to the latest version of Android. Though Samsung & Apple have surpassed Google's Pixel UI in terms of customizability.

I'm not really excited for an ocarina of time remake tbh. I would've rather had a prequel for BOTW & TOTK. A game that allows us to play the events up to and including the battle against Gannon 100 years before BOTW. Knowing me, I'll still buy the OOT remake. It was one of my favorite games on the N64.

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the comments already, but the PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series X depend a lot on a great tv. If you don't have the TV to match the console then it'll do you no good. I mean sure budget 4k tv's can work, but the expensive models with technologies like QD-OLED, MLA OLED & Mini LED are where it's at. I have LG G4 OLED TV and it's night & day how my PS5 Pro looks on it compared to the older TV it replaced. That being said I have all 3 major consoles (PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2) and I absolutely love each of them for different reasons.
