Let's check out the newly released O30S Handheld Game Console!
In my opinion, this is a welcome addition to the never-ending number of RK3326 chip based retro handhelds that have been released within last few years. This one is basically a horizontal R36S produced by what seem to be the very same people. It's actually a direct clone of the Anbernic RG350MP from what I'm told. Capable of netplay with dual systems utilizing a wifi dongle.
The face buttons feel much better than the R36S; Easy to press, but nice and punchy. So do the shoulder buttons. L & R use surprisingly quiet microswitches and feel great. L2 & R2 make a bit more noise despite seemingly using the same microswitches. I believe it has something to do with the trigger snap-back and I think it can be remedied easily for anybody it might bother with a simple DIY. They’re fine just how they are for me.
The only downside to this whole console is that the d-pad’s lacking that proper pivot, whilst resting on top of what feels like a really nice conductive membrane. It works surprisingly well for lacking what I consider an essential element of a directional pad. For most games it feels even better than the R36S d-pad, which does have a decent pivot, but the O30S membranes feel much better. The d-pad is a pretty standard size and it can likely be swapped out or just have a DIY pivot added to it. It would be another relatively simple mod.
Final thoughts: I’m happy to see an RK3326 horizontal device running ArkOS with the buttons and sticks just where I like them to be. The plastic feels premium and the layout is perfect. The screen looks amazing and the buttons feel great. If it wasn’t for the lack of a simple pivot on the d-pad this would be an all-around solid device! With a couple small mods I think this device is capable of being a banger. The price just needs to drop to $35-$40US. If this comes down to similar prices as the R36S I think it’s a great buy. Give it a little time and I’m sure it will.
