In my experience over the years the only good 3rd party controllers out there are the ones made by PDP (Afterglow & Rock candy) and 8Bitdo. Mad cats made good fight sticks during the 7th generation but that's it, Power A controllers have EXTREMELY delicate triggers and cable connections that get damaged easily on top of having HORRIBLE (AKA nonexistent) driver support for PC, Nyko controllers are uncomfortable to hold, the Logitech controllers are solidly built but small and only work on PC and nothing else, Arsenal gaming made decent controllers during gen 6 but have since faded into obscurity and the list of issues goes on and on. TLDR just buy official, 1st party controllers if possible.

I was contemplating it for a minute because I was reading inconsistent inputs from different people that implied I got bad panel lottery. Ultimately, I held off because much like blooming, there are certain situations that makes it more/less apparent. All in all, it worked ok since I now use the Odin 2 Mini and it has some QoL features I enjoy, namely the portability but let me tell you, if my Odin 2 had a better screen, this review would've changed at least a little bit. Crazy to think. Thanks for watching bruh!

Can't say that I do but there is this thing extremely rare to run into but not impossible. Your USB-C needs to have OTG support, otherwise, the controller won't work. But if you are able to plug say a microphone, a USB drive, or whatever else in your phone, that's not it. The other issue would be, have you held select+start to cycle from different modes? Or when you say it doesn't work, is it that it literally doesn't even power up (LEDs stay shut). Sorry I can't be of more help, let me know if mode swapping did it for you.

Hello, I am currently using gigabyte m28u 4k 144hz IPS (300nit) and I like the G6 OLED model, but can switching from 4k ips to 2k'oled screen be a disadvantage for me in terms of image quality and text, clarity quality? Do you think I regret switching to 2k screen, do I feel the lack of resolution? 75% video and exel, 25% play games. Also, the brightness seems to be quite low, my current monitor is 300 nits and I think I would like more, although it actually works for me. The G60SD seems to have a brightness of 250 nits, which seems low.
@GameTechTalkКүн бұрын
***Warning, wall-of-text incoming.*** Alright, so for the record, I now have the OLED G8, the OLED G6 and the Alienware AW2725DF, I had to test things. I might do a follow up video, I might not. To answer your questions. The difference in nits, in my honest opinion, will be negligeable IF you play in a dark space. Your eyes adjust to let an ideal amount of brightness in. Sure, initially, you may see a slight difference but over short time, it'll settle. However, I would recommend using the OLED panel in HDR to just about nullify that concern you have. The QD-OLED Gen3 360hz panels do not have the same color calibration out of the box, the OLED G8 is better calibrated. I did calibrate the OLED G6 and got about 95% there, couldn't push it further as it has less settings unfortunately but I could do the rest in Windows. Highly recommended to calibrate it. The G8 also has a snappier (and more feature rich) OS, though that may be useless to you, as it is to me, except for the remote control, that's nice to have. For sharpness. I do not expect that you would see a noticeable difference if you sit at least at 40cm or more from your panel. Closer than that, the difference still remains not as impactful than versus jumping resolution on LCD tech, I have my doubts as to why that is but by the response from this video, I don't think people want to hear it. I also wouldn't expect a major uplift in colors because IPS is particularly good for that. The three mega obvious advantages will be deeper and more precise blacks, no more light dimming blooming and the best is the AMAZING response time of OLED panel. 120hz or 144hz on LCD tech (VA, TN, IPS) does NOT feel like like 120hz or 144hz on OLED. OLED is far smoother in frame by frame delivery. In fact, when I moved to my first OLED panel as pointed out in this video, I moved from a 4k 240hz VA panel to a 1440p 240hz OLED. Setting my OLED panel at 120hz almost feel as responsive as the VA 240hz, that's how much of a difference the response time of 0.003ms makes. The one disadvantage and the only real one in my opinion will be text clarity, with that said, I'm not picky on that and I spend most of my time working on these monitors, I hardly play because I have too little time from doing KZread. With that said, I would recommend going for the OLED G6 (or any other QD-OLED Gen 3 360hz equivalent) because you will not feel like you lost much clarity (to not say at all) but you will gain a considerable uplift in performance due to having to cast a lower resolution, which will help to rather push those FPSes. I am pretty determined on my end that I'll be keeping the Alienware because I got it for a great price and it's literally the same as the OLED G6 minus of course the frame, the stand. Oh and last, I sincerely think Samsung did probably what is the best job I've ever seen from a matte panel, that is a major concern I had that turned out to be very bearable. Sorry for the wall-of-text, I do hope this helps, ask away if you have more questions! :)

@@Butterflys07 That is a great question, and to be honest, I do not know the answer.

If temperature, long exposure, direct sunlight, or any other else situation can cause color shifting over time, I'm sure it's been studied but to tell you that I know the answer would be a lie.

@GameTechTalk2 күн бұрын
It's a mixture of two things in my opinion. Number one is, rerouting a key versus macro'ing key(s) is effectively different from a logic board point of view, one is very basic on/off paired with a set value to update on which key, whereas the other enters "Logic" territory, it's effectively two very different efforts and one would require a deeper control over the board of Sony's controllers, or to add latency to their product, very bad idea as an Elite controller, plus, I'm sure Sony keeps the board logic somewhat encrypted. The other reason is I wouldn't be surprised if entering that "logic" territory would be considered cheating for Sony, so they could go the extra mile to block that device on their systems. As a brand, I wouldn't want to sell a product and risk Sony locking my product out of it's ecosystem only to have buyers ask for refunds and whatnot, that's risky and not viable business. The Cronus Max and XIM attachments of the world don't care but if I was an "Elite" controller company, I definitely wouldn't risk it.

Quick shoutout to @m2ljay and Epsy on the RH Discord. There is a discrepancy in my review, which is that the panel reports as HDR, my apologies as I used the wrong tools to evaluate that information. With that said, I still put the tonemapping up for questioning as without it, it's not proper HDR. Forcing HDR makes the panel washed out, precisely as if no tonemapping is available. That might be something that can be fixed in the future, or something for which I simply have not come across the tools yet to address. To see what I'm talking about, load an OLED HDR video on KZread from Chrome, load it again from the latest version of KZread app from the Play Store and make sure you are on HDR quality, should be on by default. See the difference in the first 5 seconds. It's pretty obvious. If you know a solution to this, please do share, thanks!

I think that this review is as good as American teams in the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm of the position, thanks in large part to this very fair and balanced review, that I'd love to win an Odin2 Mini and I'd enjoy playing on it forever. However, I don't think I'd ever actually pay money for it in a world where its big brother exists for similar or less money. It's compelling; but, in all the ways that matter to me the Odin2 is more compelling. The big boy has a bigger screen that's probably more than good enough, better ergo, better battery, better cooling, and arguably better styling. I've flip flopped on this like a fish on the beach because I love the Vita look; but, it doesn't sit right that it's not being made by Sony. It's the same deal with the GPD Win 4 that looks like a PSP. I preferred the Win 3 a bit better because it was more unique. I'm weird, I know, but, I'd preferred if the Odin2 Mini looked like an Odin2 that was left in the dryer a bit too long. And the RG556 exists with the best screen and ergonomics on the market, a much lower price, and better than adequate performance for the things I care about (PS2 and higher end AAA Android ports). The device I currently use for that is an LG V35 with the Snapdragon 845. The big issue with using a six year old flagship as a makeshift handheld is thermal throttling. The T820 is supposed to be on par with the 845 when cool, maybe a bit better (I don't remember), but thanks to the integral fan it won't fall flat on its face after about twenty minutes playing harder PS2 games. I love the looks of the RG556 too. I've always got Game Gear vibes from it, especially in black, but it's not a direct ripoff of anything. I approve. I'm in the market for a high end Android handheld. Maybe not today, but soon-ish. I want to like the Odin2 Mini; but, it places third in a three way race. Granted, we'd all like to go home with the woman who places third in this year's Miss. Universe. But, I don't think I'd pay for the privilege. It's the same deal here.

"...I'd preferred if the Odin2 Mini looked like an Odin2 that was left in the dryer a bit too long." 😂 I totally am not about to Google "3rd place Miss Universe" right after I finish typing this. 😅 I often think I would do well to unearth my ROG Phone 2. I have the Kunai 3 and the Twinview Dock, which could make for a fantastic video of a device brought back to "retro" life. I need to write this down somewhere, but back to high-end Android handheld... The thing is, they do have the price structure, but you would indeed be paying the price of today for the needs of tomorrow. Better yet, you may address them before you even reach that point, and with a device that better fits your needs by then. At half the price (and sometimes less, as it can be found on sale), the RG556 is a very appealing proposition. I'll be honest. I wasn't immediately sold on the RG556. It took a bit of time for its quality to really sink in. The thing is, if I indulge in nostalgia-dense retro games, I rather do it on a panel that uplifts the experience. Retro games do so well with AMOLED and OLED screens, that color vibrancy is second to none, all while retaining great fidelity. So yeah, if you know that you'll be seeking out the latest Android game, one of the Odins remain a choice well worth the price of admission but if you're main use-case is retro?... Odins are currently overkill and emulating Switch doesn't sit right with me personally. Not judging those who do but for me, Switch games will be on a Switch device. Especially since the better experience will be there anyway. Now back to Google'ing some stuff... *cough cough*

If you favor portability and are very sensitive to panel delay, I'd say go 2 Mini. If you are not too picky on your panels and prefer ergonomics, bigger panels and longer battery, go Odin 2. I should point out that I am a massive early buyer of tech so for me, I've been on super high framerate panels (240hz+) easily for more than half a decade. I probably created that problem for myself over time. It's not unbearable but don't go expecting the responsiveness of even a 60hz flagship phone. I also think that just for about anyone, putting the Odin 2 and Odin 2 Mini next to each other makes that issue quite obvious. Put it this way, if I could have a more responsive panel on the Odin 2, no need for MiniLED, I would go for that option over the Odin 2 Mini.

It's future proof but like you said it's currently overkill. Gen 7 emulation is still a work in progress and gen 8 emulation is a "forget about it" moment". I'm sticking with my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for emulation. My opinion on this unit young lad is pretty strong and very, very negative. The build quality is outstanding but hell no on the price! The RG556 and the RP4 Pro have a much better price to performance metric. I'll buy the original Odin 2 when on sale. You're right lad if you're not a collector, don't buy this.

AYNTEC are impressively and rapidly becoming a brand one can’t ignore for great reasons. They make great devices. Still, the Odin 2 Mini feels a bit like loyal consumer being milked rather than establishing trust. It’s the type of product that can’t help but make one wonder why didn’t the Odin 2 just have an extra 1-3 months cooking. The kind of move I expect from a brand that starts with AYA and ends with NEO 🤣, I hope not to expect it from AYN too. I hope the Odin 3 will have both SKUs on launch or that the differences in the cycle upgrades are more impactful. With that aside, I hope you’re having a great start of your summer Hunter!

@GameTechTalk4 күн бұрын
Thanks! So here is the nuance I comprehend. The specs are capable of HDR, that I can get behind but afaik, HDR tonemapping is not supported. I also don't also find the color gamut to give off nuances of what HDR looks like. Compared with HDR certified panels, the difference is definitely visible. But maybe there is a setting I missed or maybe AYN could add support over a future firmware update? If you have access to a HDR On/Off type of slider, please let me know, I'd love to investigate this further. Cheers! 😊

You are great at reviewing tech. You really nail it video after video
Would be nice to use with Samsung Dex
It actually works with Samsung DeX too actually.
In my experience over the years the only good 3rd party controllers out there are the ones made by PDP (Afterglow & Rock candy) and 8Bitdo. Mad cats made good fight sticks during the 7th generation but that's it, Power A controllers have EXTREMELY delicate triggers and cable connections that get damaged easily on top of having HORRIBLE (AKA nonexistent) driver support for PC, Nyko controllers are uncomfortable to hold, the Logitech controllers are solidly built but small and only work on PC and nothing else, Arsenal gaming made decent controllers during gen 6 but have since faded into obscurity and the list of issues goes on and on. TLDR just buy official, 1st party controllers if possible.
Great review bro. I like the editing. I have an Ayn Odin 2 and haven't expereince the display lag like you have. Maybe you should get another Odin 2 to see if the problem persist.
I was contemplating it for a minute because I was reading inconsistent inputs from different people that implied I got bad panel lottery. Ultimately, I held off because much like blooming, there are certain situations that makes it more/less apparent. All in all, it worked ok since I now use the Odin 2 Mini and it has some QoL features I enjoy, namely the portability but let me tell you, if my Odin 2 had a better screen, this review would've changed at least a little bit. Crazy to think. Thanks for watching bruh!
@@GameTechTalk makes total sense to me. I may get the mini just to see if there's a huge difference between mini led and led panels.

"It is at that very moment that he re-branded his channel." 😂 Honestly, I think I missed out on an opportunity that you just revealed to me!!
This new set up is growing on me
It is on me too, if being honest. For me it's the focus on the device I speak about that is heightened. Mind if I ask why for you?
I can’t get this to work with my Samsung S5E. Any suggestions?
Can't say that I do but there is this thing extremely rare to run into but not impossible. Your USB-C needs to have OTG support, otherwise, the controller won't work. But if you are able to plug say a microphone, a USB drive, or whatever else in your phone, that's not it. The other issue would be, have you held select+start to cycle from different modes? Or when you say it doesn't work, is it that it literally doesn't even power up (LEDs stay shut). Sorry I can't be of more help, let me know if mode swapping did it for you.
Great video. I was wondering if this controller works with Roblox. I really need a controller for it but I want a mobile controller instead of the regular controllers. If you could test this I'd really appreciate it.
Yes it does, I often play Roblox with my sons! 😂 Mind you, controller compatibility can be off in certain games, that depends on the developers though, not the controller itself.

@@michaelbenny659 Lots of culture in that clock, I can get behind it for sure!
Hello, I am currently using gigabyte m28u 4k 144hz IPS (300nit) and I like the G6 OLED model, but can switching from 4k ips to 2k'oled screen be a disadvantage for me in terms of image quality and text, clarity quality? Do you think I regret switching to 2k screen, do I feel the lack of resolution? 75% video and exel, 25% play games. Also, the brightness seems to be quite low, my current monitor is 300 nits and I think I would like more, although it actually works for me. The G60SD seems to have a brightness of 250 nits, which seems low.
***Warning, wall-of-text incoming.*** Alright, so for the record, I now have the OLED G8, the OLED G6 and the Alienware AW2725DF, I had to test things. I might do a follow up video, I might not. To answer your questions. The difference in nits, in my honest opinion, will be negligeable IF you play in a dark space. Your eyes adjust to let an ideal amount of brightness in. Sure, initially, you may see a slight difference but over short time, it'll settle. However, I would recommend using the OLED panel in HDR to just about nullify that concern you have. The QD-OLED Gen3 360hz panels do not have the same color calibration out of the box, the OLED G8 is better calibrated. I did calibrate the OLED G6 and got about 95% there, couldn't push it further as it has less settings unfortunately but I could do the rest in Windows. Highly recommended to calibrate it. The G8 also has a snappier (and more feature rich) OS, though that may be useless to you, as it is to me, except for the remote control, that's nice to have. For sharpness. I do not expect that you would see a noticeable difference if you sit at least at 40cm or more from your panel. Closer than that, the difference still remains not as impactful than versus jumping resolution on LCD tech, I have my doubts as to why that is but by the response from this video, I don't think people want to hear it. I also wouldn't expect a major uplift in colors because IPS is particularly good for that. The three mega obvious advantages will be deeper and more precise blacks, no more light dimming blooming and the best is the AMAZING response time of OLED panel. 120hz or 144hz on LCD tech (VA, TN, IPS) does NOT feel like like 120hz or 144hz on OLED. OLED is far smoother in frame by frame delivery. In fact, when I moved to my first OLED panel as pointed out in this video, I moved from a 4k 240hz VA panel to a 1440p 240hz OLED. Setting my OLED panel at 120hz almost feel as responsive as the VA 240hz, that's how much of a difference the response time of 0.003ms makes. The one disadvantage and the only real one in my opinion will be text clarity, with that said, I'm not picky on that and I spend most of my time working on these monitors, I hardly play because I have too little time from doing KZread. With that said, I would recommend going for the OLED G6 (or any other QD-OLED Gen 3 360hz equivalent) because you will not feel like you lost much clarity (to not say at all) but you will gain a considerable uplift in performance due to having to cast a lower resolution, which will help to rather push those FPSes. I am pretty determined on my end that I'll be keeping the Alienware because I got it for a great price and it's literally the same as the OLED G6 minus of course the frame, the stand. Oh and last, I sincerely think Samsung did probably what is the best job I've ever seen from a matte panel, that is a major concern I had that turned out to be very bearable. Sorry for the wall-of-text, I do hope this helps, ask away if you have more questions! :)
@@GameTechTalk Thank you, I think I can think about having more beautiful colors and better fluidity by sacrificing a little bit about text clarity. Finally, is there a situation that creates inhomogeneity on the screen, such as colors close to yellow or white to gray?
@@Butterflys07 That is a great question, and to be honest, I do not know the answer. I would think just from any other panel before it that it would shift over time but OLED is such a surprising tech when it comes to defying pre-determined expectations that I sincerely don't know what to tell you. If temperature, long exposure, direct sunlight, or any other else situation can cause color shifting over time, I'm sure it's been studied but to tell you that I know the answer would be a lie. Sorry to say I can't help you on that one.
I want one !!
I'm sure Ryan Trahan said the same thing! 😅😂
What is that anime game you’re playing? Genshin?
Nope, it is Wuthering Waves, just came out about 2-3 weeks ago if I recall. Haven't played much still but it's looking interesting, very much Genshin Impact / Tower of Fantasy like.
Thanks for this, man. I was torn between the EasySMXM05 and the EasySMXM10. Despite me not necessarily liking the overall boxy shape of the M05, I can definitely see that it is the better option compared to the M10. I just bought it off of Amazon for only $42. Such a great product for its price tag and is maybe even on par with the controllers that are closer to $100
Totally! And I assure you, it's not my go-to shape either but like Shem said (RetroBreeze), somehow they managed to make it feel different despite looking like other controllers of that same type. I think that perfectly sums up how I feel about the EasySMX M05 shape and I would add that the differences it has makes it more comfortable than the options it looks like. Cheers!
@@GameTechTalkYa, that's very true. Keep up with the amazing videos. Ther're very, very informative but also fun to watch.
@@GameTechTalkSo sorry to bother you again, but now Im wondering if I should have gotten the Gamesir x2s instead of thr Easysmx M05. Which one would you think is better. The x2s looks a little small in terms of overall buttons, but has a better look
@@GameTechTalkAlso, is hall effect needed on controllers? And what exactly does it even do? Ive heard other reveiws talk about hall effect but I was confused what that even meant. Since the M05 doesnt have hall effect, would that make it a lesser controlller or no?
@@danieloku7560 Don't worry, you don't bother me at all, I was editing and taking a break before the last stretch! The X2s has one very specific advantage over the M05 and it is the fact that you can stretch it for a tablet mode. If that is not important for you, don't bother. Otherwise, the M05 is pretty much on all front a superior product as far as I am concerned.
These controllers need to come with a if it starts to stick drift you can return and we will send you a new one haha I’m on my 5th controller in what 2 years this is getting ridiculous at this point come on SONY!!
So HexGaming actually has that exact policy on their website. Will paraphrase but basically it mentions that stick drift is covered lifetime and they'll repair free of charge. That doesn't mean everything is covered but the one thing that is the most important certainly is and some other stuff too, can't recall. The DRIFIX is a nice peace of mind for at least a couple of times that the controller would otherwise be dead.
@@GameTechTalk thanks might have to cop
Commenting for the controller sweepstakes 🤞🏽
Thanks, I'm sorry to say the controller was already won and shipped. There will be more to come, though not a Warrior controller but if the content is your cup of tea, who knows, you might win something else in the future. Cheers! :)
Gamevice flex?
I was recommended to look at it about a year ago when I reviewed the Backbone One. I skipped on it as I was having a KZread hiatus at the time, I think that ship has sailed for now but if ever I find myself in need of content to make, I'll consider it or if they were to reach out but for now, I have enough on my plate to wait for the next product instead. I heard it's quite good though! Thanks for the suggestion!
Why don't these controllers allow double button programming? Example L1+R1 or L2+R2 programming to the back buttons? Seems like an obvious feature of a "PRO" controller.
It's a mixture of two things in my opinion. Number one is, rerouting a key versus macro'ing key(s) is effectively different from a logic board point of view, one is very basic on/off paired with a set value to update on which key, whereas the other enters "Logic" territory, it's effectively two very different efforts and one would require a deeper control over the board of Sony's controllers, or to add latency to their product, very bad idea as an Elite controller, plus, I'm sure Sony keeps the board logic somewhat encrypted. The other reason is I wouldn't be surprised if entering that "logic" territory would be considered cheating for Sony, so they could go the extra mile to block that device on their systems. As a brand, I wouldn't want to sell a product and risk Sony locking my product out of it's ecosystem only to have buyers ask for refunds and whatnot, that's risky and not viable business. The Cronus Max and XIM attachments of the world don't care but if I was an "Elite" controller company, I definitely wouldn't risk it.
very helpful thanks mate
Glad it helped! Cheers :)
The Final Fantasy graphics shocked me at first and then I realized it was PsPlay lol
Ahahaah! Yeah I realize now I forgot to put a lower title of the games first appearances, my apologies for the scare!
Quick shoutout to @m2ljay and Epsy on the RH Discord. There is a discrepancy in my review, which is that the panel reports as HDR, my apologies as I used the wrong tools to evaluate that information. With that said, I still put the tonemapping up for questioning as without it, it's not proper HDR. Forcing HDR makes the panel washed out, precisely as if no tonemapping is available. That might be something that can be fixed in the future, or something for which I simply have not come across the tools yet to address. To see what I'm talking about, load an OLED HDR video on KZread from Chrome, load it again from the latest version of KZread app from the Play Store and make sure you are on HDR quality, should be on by default. See the difference in the first 5 seconds. It's pretty obvious. If you know a solution to this, please do share, thanks!
Are the silver bezels distracting at all?
Not one bit, in fact I'd argue it's a nice touch because as long as the room is dark, silver does a great job at reflecting the light it's surrounded by (or lack thereof). It's very discreet and fades away quite easily. Thanks for tuning in!
@@GameTechTalk Ah that's great to hear! Thanks for responding 👍
Finger tips go into those grips on the back. Your palms shouldn't be touching the sides. Your fingers shouldn't be curled in
Not my personal go-to grip but I do not necessarily "hold it right" either.

Which one is best EasySMX M10 or GameSir X2S ? I have 13 pro max so lighting is downfall for now lol this will be first gaming controller. Would love your feedback.
I speaking about GameSir x2s new blue and black control
Yeah I figured you meant the X2s Bluetooth, the new model. Quite frankly, I would go X2s Bluetooth. As much as I know the Lightning M10 will work. Once you upgrade your phone, it’ll become e-waste. As for the X2s Bluetooth, it’ll still be good after. They are both ok but to me the X2s is the better product of the two and also, it spoofs as Dualsense which works better with iOS than spoofing Xbox 360 wireless (which M10 does). The M10 only advantage are the two extra paddles but they aren’t in the ideal position for most people. My vote is X2s Bluetooth personally, and I love the colors!
@@GameTechTalkthanks that’s I will go go with !!! Thanks 🙏 for advice love your content your have now loyal subscribers 😊
One Last question!! What the best lighting or Bluetooth controller for iPhone?
@@santijr007 Arguably, lighting could be better because of lower latency but with iOS releasing Game Mode extremely shortly, Bluetooth connections will be getting a boost. Also, the difference on everyday use should be trivial, that is why I would recommend to go "function over form" by going Bluetooth. Technically, you do have to keep a battery charged but I would expect that to be minimal effort. Cheers, keep the questions coming if you have more, always happy to help! :)
Why rate a controller A when it only works for one phone? That along should rate it a C or maybe B and that all.
I understand your point of view. Do I wish ASUS had designed the Kunai 3 for every phone? Of course. Technically it does so but only wireless with the center connector. I didn’t rate them by what they weren’t designed for but rather by what they were. Still, your suggestion is a fair one and something I’ll keep in mind when I do this again. Thanks for watching!
I can't wait to see what the Odin 3 looks like after all the feedback from this one!! The main reasons I bought the Mini are to support the direction and to mess with a mini-LED screen in person ^_^ 💚
AYNTEC sure make exciting stuff. Let's see what they'll have in store for us next time!
These ratings are nuts. The vita and switch lite being comparable is a nutty statement. Have you felt joycon sticks and seen the 30fps?
Thanks for pointing it out. That's precisely why the Switch Lite scored 3 in buttons vs 4 for O2M. Same goes for Specs, Switch Lite scored 3, O2M scored 4. With that said, Switch Lite does have other strengths over the O2M and that's the goal of this point system, so that you can pay mind in the areas that matter the most to you and by your comment, I would say performance and buttons are and what it comes down to. Stick to Odin 2 or Odin 2 Mini, you won't be disappointed. If you want to dish out a considerably bigger sum, you could move up to PC handheld territory and grab yourself a GPD Win 4, you'll get more specs and overall about as good buttons though arguably better with a keyboard and a trackpad nub. Cheers! :)
@@GameTechTalk At this point you might as well rate the 3DS Joystick nubs 3/5 and throw that up on screen.
@@Scott7789x Ohhh that's a great suggestion. So basically, to make a category for sticks distinguished from buttons right? It does feel like "buttons" is only about sticks otherwise... Thanks! Oh and thanks for the 3DS suggestion too, I'll save that for my Odin 2 Mini follow-up unboxing video!
@@GameTechTalk I was just messing with ya man. I shouldn't be so rude. I like your content. I guess if I could vocalize it in a better way, I would say I think we take for granted how much more processing power we have now than old consoles like the Vita and Switch Lite. The switch lite for instance isn't even moddable and is stuck playing Mario Party on the eshop. The Odin 2 mini runs switch and can play way more things with better sticks and buttons. I think it should be a bigger gap than 32 vs 31 score. But it's subjective I suppose. Keep up the great work my friend.
I think that this review is as good as American teams in the Stanley Cup Finals. I'm of the position, thanks in large part to this very fair and balanced review, that I'd love to win an Odin2 Mini and I'd enjoy playing on it forever. However, I don't think I'd ever actually pay money for it in a world where its big brother exists for similar or less money. It's compelling; but, in all the ways that matter to me the Odin2 is more compelling. The big boy has a bigger screen that's probably more than good enough, better ergo, better battery, better cooling, and arguably better styling. I've flip flopped on this like a fish on the beach because I love the Vita look; but, it doesn't sit right that it's not being made by Sony. It's the same deal with the GPD Win 4 that looks like a PSP. I preferred the Win 3 a bit better because it was more unique. I'm weird, I know, but, I'd preferred if the Odin2 Mini looked like an Odin2 that was left in the dryer a bit too long. And the RG556 exists with the best screen and ergonomics on the market, a much lower price, and better than adequate performance for the things I care about (PS2 and higher end AAA Android ports). The device I currently use for that is an LG V35 with the Snapdragon 845. The big issue with using a six year old flagship as a makeshift handheld is thermal throttling. The T820 is supposed to be on par with the 845 when cool, maybe a bit better (I don't remember), but thanks to the integral fan it won't fall flat on its face after about twenty minutes playing harder PS2 games. I love the looks of the RG556 too. I've always got Game Gear vibes from it, especially in black, but it's not a direct ripoff of anything. I approve. I'm in the market for a high end Android handheld. Maybe not today, but soon-ish. I want to like the Odin2 Mini; but, it places third in a three way race. Granted, we'd all like to go home with the woman who places third in this year's Miss. Universe. But, I don't think I'd pay for the privilege. It's the same deal here.
Nothing like signing off for the day to a Matt Davis comment. "...I'd preferred if the Odin2 Mini looked like an Odin2 that was left in the dryer a bit too long." 😂 I totally am not about to Google "3rd place Miss Universe" right after I finish typing this. 😅 I often think I would do well to unearth my ROG Phone 2. I have the Kunai 3 and the Twinview Dock, which could make for a fantastic video of a device brought back to "retro" life. I need to write this down somewhere, but back to high-end Android handheld... The thing is, they do have the price structure, but you would indeed be paying the price of today for the needs of tomorrow. Better yet, you may address them before you even reach that point, and with a device that better fits your needs by then. At half the price (and sometimes less, as it can be found on sale), the RG556 is a very appealing proposition. I'll be honest. I wasn't immediately sold on the RG556. It took a bit of time for its quality to really sink in. The thing is, if I indulge in nostalgia-dense retro games, I rather do it on a panel that uplifts the experience. Retro games do so well with AMOLED and OLED screens, that color vibrancy is second to none, all while retaining great fidelity. So yeah, if you know that you'll be seeking out the latest Android game, one of the Odins remain a choice well worth the price of admission but if you're main use-case is retro?... Odins are currently overkill and emulating Switch doesn't sit right with me personally. Not judging those who do but for me, Switch games will be on a Switch device. Especially since the better experience will be there anyway. Now back to Google'ing some stuff... *cough cough*
@@GameTechTalk - I think that ROG 2 video would be interesting. I looked it up and it runs the Snapdragon 855 Plus. Outside of the Odin 2, the new AYANEO Pocket that I've forgotten the name of already, and the Razer Edge; a ROG2 + a Kunai makes for a handheld that will lay waste to pretty much every real handheld on the market. And only the Razer, maybe, will have as high quality of a screen. I'm not sure if the ROG Phone 2 has depreciated as heavily as many of the other 855 flagships; but, it'd still be a great representation of what's available on the used market for the more frugal gamer.
This video saved me so much hassle

Do you recommend i get the mini or the big one? I dont own either and im just wondering which is best to try first
If you favor portability and are very sensitive to panel delay, I'd say go 2 Mini. If you are not too picky on your panels and prefer ergonomics, bigger panels and longer battery, go Odin 2. I should point out that I am a massive early buyer of tech so for me, I've been on super high framerate panels (240hz+) easily for more than half a decade. I probably created that problem for myself over time. It's not unbearable but don't go expecting the responsiveness of even a 60hz flagship phone. I also think that just for about anyone, putting the Odin 2 and Odin 2 Mini next to each other makes that issue quite obvious. Put it this way, if I could have a more responsive panel on the Odin 2, no need for MiniLED, I would go for that option over the Odin 2 Mini.
Interesting that you left out if they need to be charged, I only have 1 telescopic controller Gamesir Galileo G8 and it feels like what a controller should feel like, except for one downside that the buttons are nearly completely vertical with the sticks even though it's shaped in a way that could allow it.
Most telescopic controllers are plugged in but you are right with the BSP-D8 Pro at least, that one is battery and do need to be charged. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll make sure to mention it when I do this again. As for the sticks, I like them slightly off as well but seeing as the Galileo has a large enough ergo grip, I find that to be more trivial than on something like a retro handheld or a joycon, you know something with a slimmer profile. Cheers and thanks for engaging!
I got 2 gamesir concontrollers I’m definitely getting these
They make great stuff. GameSir came out the door guns blazing with their original X2 controller and they fell flat a couple of times but they have since transformed into a great company and one that I constantly peek out at to see what else they got brewing. Thanks for engaging and if I may ask, what 2 controllers do you have of them?
Man i love your video, i love you didnt put the most expensive ones on the top like others do and in fact put cheapest ones higher up
The M05 is a sleeper hit and I think EasySMX are starting to realize they need to give that controller a bit more marketing. Or at least, I hope so. Thanks for your kind words and for watching, out of those 15+ which would you say is your favorite?
@@GameTechTalk i really like the Razer Kishi v1, but im not going to buy that one, so maybe the X2s, i like the cute design
@@guillermocardenaschava8601 They have silent launched the X2s Bluetooth too, loved the color scheme, I'm tempted to pick one up.
@@GameTechTalk i love the color too, but i might go for the usb-c version, i wanna play emulators in long time sessions so maybe charge the controller is not the best for me
Will you make a video about the easysmx x05?
I will not unfortunately, I have declined the product for review as it seemed a little too close to the GameSir Nova (minus HD rumble) and since I already talked about that, I decided to skip it. I did watch a video or two about it and it looks like a great cost-efficient solution, definitely a good pick for those who don't care for rumble and prefer a "standard" ABXY layout. Cheers!
I was wondering when your Special Take on the: A-O2 MiNi would drop... Let's go... 😎🙃🧐🤔🤣... Feel better Bro...
The last 24 hours have been quite fruitful, little bit of cough is still lingering but I should be back to 100% before I know it. Cheers and thanks for the wishes!
@@GameTechTalk Indeed...🤓
really enjoyed your video very informative. you earned a new sub. keep up the good work
Just out here trying to do the good work, welcome aboard and thank you greatly! 🫡
It's future proof but like you said it's currently overkill. Gen 7 emulation is still a work in progress and gen 8 emulation is a "forget about it" moment". I'm sticking with my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for emulation. My opinion on this unit young lad is pretty strong and very, very negative. The build quality is outstanding but hell no on the price! The RG556 and the RP4 Pro have a much better price to performance metric. I'll buy the original Odin 2 when on sale. You're right lad if you're not a collector, don't buy this.
AYNTEC are impressively and rapidly becoming a brand one can’t ignore for great reasons. They make great devices. Still, the Odin 2 Mini feels a bit like loyal consumer being milked rather than establishing trust. It’s the type of product that can’t help but make one wonder why didn’t the Odin 2 just have an extra 1-3 months cooking. The kind of move I expect from a brand that starts with AYA and ends with NEO 🤣, I hope not to expect it from AYN too. I hope the Odin 3 will have both SKUs on launch or that the differences in the cycle upgrades are more impactful. With that aside, I hope you’re having a great start of your summer Hunter! I don’t know if you still professionally teach but if you do, it sounds like a chunk of fun weeks coming ahead! Cheers!
@@GameTechTalk I've 5 weeks off young lad and I'm very much looking forward to my summer reading list. 😉. August 1st seems very far away.
@@GameTechTalk BTW, I feel the same way about the ROG Ally X except for the emulation component obviously. This is the kind of hardware games that are played when you DON'T have IP like Nintendo or Valve. Every hardware manufacturer is fighting for market share and I'm not sure that the end-user is less with half-baked products that over-promise and under-deliver. The Portal, it's a perfect example. Thank you for mentioning that device lad.
@@GameTechTalk Do we have a timeline for the Odin 3?
@@STR82DVD Not that I know of for Odin 3 but I would think late 2025 if not early 2026. I think we’d be more likely to see an Odin 2 Ultra if they keep that modus operandi. You know, that phat 8” AMOLED Odin 2 with 4 back buttons and HD rumble… Can I be shameless and say I’d totally jump on that! 🤣🤣🤣 As for ROG ALLY X, to let you in on a secret, I don’t know if I want to keep my preorder at this point in time. I’d receive it just before I leave for Iceland so I’d review it on my trip most likely, that’d be fun to take around with me but a part of me feels like I need to stop engaging with certain products and focus on building audience on the ones I already have to build my presence. Up until companies like ASUS see me. Cause right now, either they don’t, either they don’t want to talk. Time will tell.
Are you gonna update the list when the Scuf Nomad comes out this summer?
That would be the goal, probably not gonna make another tier list but I will review the Scuf Nomad and when I do, I will say in that review where I would slot it in the tier list. Cheers!
You are comparing apples and oranges and moving the goalposts. “It’s harder to drive” no sh*t? It’s 4K 240hz
Thanks for watching!
@@GameTechTalk thanks for not addressing the issue with your point! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@pistol27pete I probably am misunderstanding. You are referring to 2:24 when I mention 4K is harder to drive but that’s ok and expected? I’d love to elaborate but I want to make sure I understand first. Thanks!
who is the best for fps game ? dead zone sensitive for aimming ?
It’s questionable. I’ve always been a big believer in raw inputs but raw means the missteps and mistakes are also more captured. So much like dead zones eliminate the raw input jitter at base value, too much sensitivity is like bringing that jitter back on stick travel. Cheers!
Are you able to map the back buttons to keybinds on mw3?
So that heavily depends on what platform you mean. If you mean keybinding say your keyboard while playing on PC? No you cannot. If you mean keybinding for example your reload button (square) or your firing button (R2) while playing on PS5, you absolutely can yes. I hope this answers the question, cheers! :)
Good review! Only things to point out is the screen actually does have hdr so that plus much better outdoor use makes the brightness a plus
Thanks! So here is the nuance I comprehend. The specs are capable of HDR, that I can get behind but afaik, HDR tonemapping is not supported. I also don't also find the color gamut to give off nuances of what HDR looks like. Compared with HDR certified panels, the difference is definitely visible. But maybe there is a setting I missed or maybe AYN could add support over a future firmware update? If you have access to a HDR On/Off type of slider, please let me know, I'd love to investigate this further. Cheers! 😊
I love the comparison format
It was a "third time" filming touch that I do like as well, something I would definitely want to reproduce again in the future. Thanks Michael!
Great review, buddy! Think I'm gonna wait, got an Odin, RP3+ and the games that I love, they play well enough. I'm sure in another year we'll have another kick ass suite of handhelds and yeah... I'm not worrying heh.. Hope you feel better soon! It's so nice out!
Such a beautiful weather in our little Montreal! The perfect day to shed the last ounces of virus out my system by spending time in the pool! Thanks Kyle, much appreciated!
