For whatever reason,  Amazon has discounted the Hori Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro Compact which was a significant upgrade over Hori's original Split Pad Pro. It's currently selling for $42.99 (approximately 14% off) making it a pretty good buy!

   It looks like the end of the original Miyoo Mini might be near as it's replaced with the upcoming Miyoo Mini Plus on February 10 (although there have been reports that the Miyoo Mini Plus could be pushed back to a March launch).  There will be another Miyoo Mini restock over the next 2 weeks at the Official Miyoo store on AliExpress, but it could be the last restock for a long while as Miyoo has not secured the screens to produce more.  Thanks For Reading.

 It looks like Moorechip has made an official grip for the RP3/RP3+ which will definitely be useful for FPS games which are uncomfortable to attempt to play without a grip, and it will be available after the holiday ends (sometime in February) at GoRetroid.com.  Photos via: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3142736962715416/permalink/3454545248201251/?mibextid=Nif5oz Thanks For Reading.

 It looks like the Miyoo Mini Plus will launch on February 10. For the most part, it's the same SoC as the Mini but a considerably larger device that also has WiFi. Miyoo is keeping the price fair at an increase of $5, but there will only be 500 available at first.   The Miyoo Mini Plus should be a good competitor for Anbernic's RG35XX.  Source: @retrogamecorps on Twitter Thanks For Reading.

 I finally broke down and added some gold trackpad covers to the Steam Deck...  Steam Deck - Gold Trackad I'm definitely a fan of the gold on black look. I have tried out various skins and cases in the past but likely not going to use any on our newest Steam Deck. For whatever reason,  skins and cases make the device feel less ergonomic to me at least on a handheld this big. I'm likely just to stick with a little grip tape on the sides and that's it.  Now with two Steam Decks in the house,  we should be set on Steam Decks until the inevitable Steam Deck 2 ha ..read more

Anbernic RG35XX  Anbernic followed through with their promise to update the RG35XX stock OS/Firmware and it reportedly improves on some of the biggest complaints.

 My Anbernic RG353M was missing one thing and that was some "wow factor" buttons.  As soon as I saw a photo of the Phosphorescent (Glow in the Dark) Blue d-pad and face buttons from 'various' (@various_rb1) on a Twitter post,  I knew I had to have these.
