MODERATORS
Neat, but looks rather like a mix out of steamdeck, rog ally and its super weird because of it. Because it doesnt have the same level joysticks you cant easily swap between joycon and trackpads and the page looks definitly not like some jpg slammed together. 100% not scammy looking.
And charging port on the bottom, yuck!
It looks like it has a usb c port on the top and bottom so it might be wired where you can charge with either/or?
Now that would be awesome.
Maybe they figure people will use it docked? And phones have ports on the bottom, they're not so bad to use while charging.
I use it handheld primarily. The difference in my phone is weight. With the port on the bottom, handheld charging becomes almost impossible without constantly putting pressure on the cable and port.
90 degree angled USB cables are a godsend for this.
Let me tell you that as someone who lays on their back while playing, I truly hate charging points on the bottom. If I'm not exactly mobile, I'm plugged into a charger because why waste battery life? Having that port on the bottom makes relaxing comfortably much harder.
