This is my number one thing I look for in a handheld so just wondering what models have stuck out to you guys.

I had a RG351P but couldn't stand the accidental diagonals so I moved on. Apparently there is a mod to fix it so might have to eventually go back and try that.

Next I got a RP2+, and I love the d-pad on this thing.

Yea your not alone, I bought a Steam Deck bc of fomo, and resold my unit shortly after receiving it because I didn't like it. I'll continue to hold out for a future portable PC handheld. And I only had to watch one youtube review to tell I wasn't down for the ROG Ally, d-pad seems quite crappy.

Glad to hear about the Miyoo, was thinking about getting one of those for work, now you got me excited about it.

Been tempted to try to replace my RP2+ with a newer gen model, but dunno if I could ever give Abernic another shot with how bad I hated the one I had, but I'm sure all their devices are different so maybe I should. Also considering the Odin Lite.

Well Retroid just announced the new RP2S. That might just be the best answer! D-pad does look to be the same quality one as in RP3+.

I knew I wasn’t the only one!
