Fancy the RG406V? We'll take the white variant with SNES-grey dpad and skittle buttons, please!

[@Nayuki_1987]

I’m definitely gonna order the “off white” one! Was planning on buying the RG405V last week until I saw this release coming up ^^ I don’t get why people are saying it’s ugly, because I really love the oldskool gameboy design.. although I’d prefer it to be all white just like u mentioned.

[@hyperplayrpg]

Agreed! Can't go wrong with either of the white ones

[@6mazing]

Does anyone know if the analog sticks can click in, to give you L3 & R3 input ?

[@MelvLi]

This looks way to thick and cumbersome! I also dont underdtand why there is so much space / bezel around the screen. The Rg40xxv has almost no wasted space / bezel around the screen.

[@hyperplayrpg]

Some find the extra size and thickness actually helps with the ergonomics, particularly if you have big hands

[@MelvLi]

@@hyperplayrpg that is true but a better solution is to have a clean design while also offer a grip (at extra cost of cause) for people who wants the ergonomics 😉

[@jackripper5270]

I think it's the perfect size... those small ones look like hand cramp city...
This looks very comfortable.

[@hyperplayrpg]

​@@jackripper5270 Yeah I've always found the 3.5 inch devices far too small, so much so I ended up co-developing grips for the R36S and the RG35XXH

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

For me , both the design and size are perfect. I get cramps on my hands after some gameplay on my 556 , i prefer the ergonomics of horizontal handhelds .

[@ЕленаСереж]

Maybe rg 406m next? Would be a great alternative to the rp mini

[@genecicordeirodossantosjun5037]

RG406M must come with amoled Screen.
I desire an amoled 4" display

[@simonebruzzone3138]

Hardware is the same of Rg Cube?

[@Phoenix_VanDerWeyden]

Yes , same chip

[@Lisa313shoe]

Only if it was horizontal I would have grabbed it I don’t like vertical at all..

[@hakman239]

I’m expecting an rg 406m

[@hyperplayrpg]

Quite reasonably!
