And I’ve started avoiding thumb sticks in portables because my old retro controllers with (non-hall effect) thumb sticks now have so much control drift that the D-pad is also unusable.
(While my retro controllers and systems that just had D-pads are still fine.)
With something like a Deck you can at least swap them.
I feel for more retro oriented stuff I’d prefer some sort of gamepad attachment for phones. If that breaks or wears out at least I don’t have to replace the whole device.
Damn that looks uncomfortable to hold. Still, interesting device. So far I don’t need retro gaming in portable but it’s a neat idea.
The thumbsticks look downright unusable.
Yeah.

retro gaming seems like the best fit for portable due to low power usage.
