If you are looking for a community that will be all about handheld PCs, like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, AYANEO, OneX, GPD, and others, you are in the right place! Here, we can freely discuss anything to do with these devices. While the focus here isn't on the gaming side, we can talk about how games are on these devices too.

We are still getting a lay of the land and discovering Lemmy and its capabilities, so we will need a little time to fine-tune the rules and discussions, but we are working on it!

I have always been terrified of dropping this thing. The only two cases I've found are a TPU snap-on which does not protect the front, and a silicone "official" case which covers the glowing letters on the grip and is baggy.

Are there no decent cases for these? I've seen cases for other OneXPlayer devices, for all other handhelds of note, but despite 3 generations of F1 (7840U, 8840U and Pro) this handheld is expensive and impossible to protect.

Even the baggy silicone is now discontinued and sold out, leaving me with no good options to protect from being dropped. Keep in mind, the device components are good but the external housing is slightly brittle. I backed the original kickstarter and they sent a second pair of grip pieces because of the color change to the white version to have ugly greenish grey accents instead of off-white. (I was lucky I backed late, they were only able to change my order to black and not that of others who backed for the white version.) The spare grey handles (which were allegedly not showing the glowing text on the handles correctly) arrived crushed to the point of being unsalvageable.

Should I just buy a Legion Go S so I have similar ergonomics? Or does someone produce affordable custom cases for electronics?

EDIT: Looks like the original link wasn't right -- I found an independent article that seems to be more accurate. Looks like it wasn't the mini after all, but the refreshed Win Max 2. Thanks for the corrections!

A new variation of JSAUX's 12-port RGB dock that comes in White is now available to purchase.

Western Digital is creating new SSDs specifically in the form factor used in handhelds like the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. These come in 500gb, 1tb, and 2tb forms.

We got the ASUS ROG Ally and the Lenovo Legion Go.

What's next, the Dell Alienware UFO? Should we expect HP to create an Omen branded handheld?

And I wonder what's going to happen to all of the smaller companies like Aya or GPD or OXP once MORE and more of these big manufacturers join the PC Handheld Arms Race?
