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.

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

The thumbsticks look downright unusable.

Yeah.
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.
