Clicky and not squishy

[@DaveyG]

Never!

[@Warrior0fDoom]

I'm glad they are coming up with more refined and locked in designs and have a very pleasing aesthetic. The 65w charge option is fantastic, and the hall effect triggers and sticks make it sound premium 😁

[@tamharjeetsinghwalia181]

This is probably my dream android emulation device

[@canabisquick]

Lots of info and you present it very well. It's nice finding higher end content on KZbin. Well spoken, great video, thank you.

[@sebastianrodriguez8692]

Thank you for reviewing this one. My hard earned dineros salute you.

[@kitsinu1]

I started with an Anbernic RG505 gaming handheld this past Christmas. I was blown away that a handheld could play PS2 games. Then came the better handhelds with the Odin 2 which can do 2.5 upscaling and has the full 1080x1920 screen. That is PS2 upscaled 2.5 times is full 1080p resolution. I had no idea. I ripped FFX and FFXII and am playing those on my Odin 2 to perfection. But would be happy with the RG556 running the same. Even the RG505 was beyond my threshold.

[@ralphieralph9176]

looking forward to Odin Mini reviews..

[@tylerschmitz1816]

Had an og Odin. Currently really use Loki max and retroid pocket 2S. Leaning torwards Odin 2 mini. Vita aesthetics and perfect psp. I'm in.

[@lokil0k81]

The Odin 2 seems so good, and so comfortable. I have a Miyoo mini plus, a RGB30 and a RG405m at home, I love these devices but I cannot play more than 30 minutes on these because of cramps in my wrists, tendinisis in my thumbs... (Maybe I have too big fingers, not always that great 😅). I'm guessing I wouldn't have these issues with an Odin 2

[@atiq8987]

Omg same, I'm using bsp d8 controller and cramping my fingers I went numb, do you think this one is the same?

[@BiggerBurrh]

I have pretty big hands (am 6'3 around 285) and some serious carpal tunnel but the Odin 2 has been the most comfortable device I've used. I have a switch, OLED steam deck, RG405v, Retroid Pocket 3+, PSVita, RGB30, TrimUI Smart Pro, MM+ and others but the Odin 2 remains THE most comfortable for my hands. Up there with the Steam Deck (sometimes more comfy depending on how I'm sitting). @atiq8987

[@dgevert]

It's worth noting that the Odin 2 is not google play certified so while you do have the play store, you will run into occasional issues. One example is Wreckfest won't work. Another example is Afterimage, which is ported to Android on the play store but doesn't load on the Odin 2. (The copy I creatively acquired works though. I did buy it first...)

[@bri1085]

Are you buying this to play android games 👀

[@dgevert]

@@bri1085 no of course not, but if it's a capability that the device has, why not exploreit?

[@hazardavarice2656]

Great video! Very thorough review! If I don't win the steam deck I'll probably buy this one! Thanks!

[@DaveyG]

Thanks and good luck!

[@gmoney0987]

Been eyeballing this device for a while but I think the setup would throw me for a loop

[@DaveyG]

It is a fresh start but totally worth it.

[@zZiL341yRj736]

You only do it once. Put ES-DE on the MicroSD and it'll be allset, you can transfer than anywhere.

[@kjj367]

Thanks very informative

[@fw.sacsha8235]

As a steam deck LCD user, I'm planning to buy my little brother the AYN Odin 2 since I'm going away for college in a couple months. What accessories would you all recommend?

[@Strausburg]

Been dreaming of getting either an Odin 2 or a Steam Deck. They both look great for different reasons!

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

How does Sega Saturn run? Can you upscale?

[@xiaoyu88]

Thank you for describing the buttons because this is very important to me. It was nice if you spared a few seconds to just click all the face buttons and let us hear them. I find very hard to spend so much money, to then be disappointed later. I just like the feeling of a PSP/every ps controller, and not like at all the ps vita buttons. how would you compare the Odin 2 buttons to those examples?

[@user-of9fp2fl2j]

Hi im a noob and would like to get one (odin 2) question is do you sell sd cards loaded with roms, bios, and front end? like the ones you see in aliexpress? thanks

[@johnhart8856]

Oh cool, you've got the rainbow console same as me ❤

[@meowmixes98]

I've been really looking at this looking at emulating Summon Night 5 PSP, Trails in the Sky and the Mario Galaxy games.

[@jonanerfz2877]

nice review, im hoping i could get that Ayn Odin but out of budget, and im praying i could get one soon, but i will be happier if i could own a steam deck, haha, new subscriber here from the Philippines

[@DaveyG]

Nice welcome aboard!

[@kitsinu1]

Put it in your pocket and the joystick caps can come off. I love it, but hate that one particular 'feature.' I am going to have to pull out the glue to keep from losing the joy-caps.

[@cassjr17]

I swear I’m still holding out for that 6.7 inch ayn odin 3 with amoled

[@nERVEcenter117]

Just got my rainbow Odin 2 Pro a couple weeks bag. It's ergonomically perfect. Been playing through Metroid: Zero Mission. SSX3 (GCN) plays PERFECTLY. What's the MOBA you're playing in the video? I kinda like the idea of a twin-stick MOBA. Also, I've been having trouble with Mupen64 emulation, trying to figure out why the performance is garbage.

[@CherryBlossomFlower]

I really want the rainbow instead of black but man.. that price jump sucks.

[@darkyetlovely84]

I'd love to own one of these and the Steam deck too!

[@pabloezequielgomez7471]

I want to see the ayn odin 2 lite, i think it will be a exellent complement to the steam deck.

[@Rakum500]

All i got from it was thats its clicky and not squishy. Cool video i just ordered mine to mostly play native android games hopefully its fun :D

[@fhacim6568]

Nice watch! Is that the Skx007?

[@DaveyG]

Yeah, and thanks! It's the 24hr one link - amzn.to/3QT1lJf

[@sadumlevine6263]

What settings do you use for hit and run ? I have the Odin 2 pro and get constant frame drops / stutters . Thanks .

[@manofwar9307]

Double check that you're using high performance mode, I didn't realize I was just on performance mode and there's a dramatic difference after the change. Also, try looking up the compatibility sheet for Odin 2, sometimes there are settings options listed for improving performance (there's a link to the sheet in retro gaming corps' setup guide).

[@MrMartellSincere]

Must buy 😊

[@darkasian755]

What was the Dragon Ball fighting game he was playing at 3:40?

[@DaveyG]

Dragonball advance adventure

[@JayGlanton]

Come to the comment section for this exact answer. Thank you! ​@@DaveyG

[@felixo95]

Not sure if I should wait on reviews for the Odin mini or just go for the Odin 2.

[@tylerstanley1879]

If you want to carry the odin with you get the mini if you want to use it at home get the odin 2

[@zZiL341yRj736]

I it's more expensive, same hardware, less battery life, smaller screen, not sure about the flat form factor. I mean the screen itself is not worth all the downgrade.

[@pspsmallz]

This is stil the best android emulation handheld out there, hell still the best emulation handheld honestly. Makes orher options feel lacking and amatureish when it comes to software and hardware design.

[@DaveyG]

Best way to put it. This feels polished!

[@ESTENT-cu7qd]

I agree

[@christianguevara6459]

Do you think this is worth getting if you already have the Nintendo switch ?

[@TheMysteryDriver]

What for? To play other systems?

[@japjungho4645]

I have both. The answer is an absolute YES. Except for switch games, I use my Odin2, including going on KZbin and anything else my phone can do.

[@victorcanales4616]

I'm waiting for the review of odin 2 mini, to see if worse spending $400. The only reason I really really want to buy it, it literally a vita 2 if sony didn't mess it up.

[@tazmo2237]

Is the rainbow and cold grey the same body color, just different buttons?

[@CherryBlossomFlower]

I do not own any of the Odin devices, but I’ve seen many videos and I do believe that they are the same color, just different buttons.

[@tazmo2237]

@@CherryBlossomFlower Great, thanks for the info, much appreciated 👍. Think it’s going to be the rainbow one!

[@CherryBlossomFlower]

@@tazmo2237 I think I’m also going to go for the rainbow one! Just wish the base model came in different colors as well.

[@tazmo2237]

@@CherryBlossomFlowerI agree, I like the black, but I always seem to go for black electronic/gadgets, fancied a change this time. I’m from the U.K. so the rainbow one has that SNES nostalgia factor for me 👍

[@jakesmith5278]

Yeah, the Odin 2 is so...beefy.

[@EliasPfaiffer]

best charger for the odin 2 pro? please tell me...

[@DaveyG]

Any 65w pd charger from anker

[@bukithd]

RectaFisures on the decidueye? Really?

[@ykjali]

5:05 you could just play hot pursuit via "switch" if you "own" the game

[@pixelmentia]

I like more squishy than clicky personally.

[@ubacow7109]

I really wanna just see them make it a normal high performance 8" android tablet tbh

[@suhtangwong]

The one being displayed is actually near $500 not $300. $200 is a big jump and I cajt find any videos out there showing the limitations if the base model, it's always the pro ($70+ more) or the max.

[@aurelios69]

Ram and internal storage. They're the only difference. Switch emulation will suffer a bit, besides that, everything else is going to be the same.

[@Rebel-hn9ly]

Emulation like what ? Because all my switch games runs as they should on my base model​@@aurelios69 , but yes the pro and max has more storage and ram

[@BurningLettuce]

You're really just paying for future proofing.

[@bobbycook3379]

I need it❤❤❤❤

[@thateasterpink9361]

What is that Dragon Ball Z game that you’re playing?

[@DaveyG]

Advance adventure GBA

[@dieg0165]

Dude I have an Odin 2 and I love it but ever since the Odin mini got announced I’ve been contemplating getting it for the vita nostalgia😭

[@dylangirard4670]

You aren’t alone. The vita probably is my favorite handheld form factor. I don’t think I can sell my Odin 2 pro for it though. So maybe I’ll just end up with both lol.

[@Clyoza]

imo that 5000 mah is what makes me happy with my odin 2. no matter how good it looks the odin 2 is defiinitely gonna last longer and it has much better cooling performance on sustained load. this has been proven by the tests reviewers have done agains the aya neo pocket s which is thinner but has a stronger processor. that coolling on the odin 2 albiet louder makes it inherently the most powerful device for emulation you really cant go wrong with

[@Clyoza]

oh i own an odin 2 i was played skyrim for roughly 3 hours at 60% brightness and lost like 30% battery

[@PreciousFew6110]

Nah. My Odin 2 Pro with the dock is enough. Odin Mini for me is not worth the price. If I'm looking for a Vita nostalgia, I'll get the Vita Slim instead.

[@Frshmachine]

the smaller screen though is a deal breaker :(

[@Zx7o.]

great video but the camera shaking is making me sick...

[@DaveyG]

I think it's actually the ibis on my camera on the top down or the static shots?

[@Zx7o.]

@@DaveyG seem like both? It looks similar to how OLED screens do pixel shifting. But could also be the very minor vibrations that transfer through the desk shock mount to the camera? It only seems to be apparent when you're moving so I feel like it might be something to do with the vibrations or it could be the autofocus from your camera shifting the focus in a weird way? This video is the first one I've seen from your channel I watch some older ones to see if I notice it on the other ones. But other than that this was a dope video. I'm caught between buying an Odin 2 or the OneX Fly.. I feel like the battery trade off is worth being able to emulate everything including PS3/Xbox360/Wii-U

[@zZiL341yRj736]

Before I buy? Bullshit I already ordered it.

[@Charagrin]

Before you buy the Odin 2 for 300, ask yourself why you waited to buy one already. Literally no reason not to unless you prefer Windows.

[@wiggygfe]

Or unless you want to play ps3, wii u, pc games ect.. That being said, I'm waiting for delivery of my Odin 2 😊

[@Charagrin]

@@wiggygfe I already play PC games on my Odin 2. Winlator, played a chunk of FO3, mass effect, HALO CE. Little limited in newer titles, for the next month or so. Long as no ones a moron and buys a mainline handheld from Asus or MSI or some other dumbfuck late to the party corporation. Ayn already made the best Windows handheld a year ago, then followed it up with the best Android handheld. And we win.

[@Charagrin]

@@Rebel-hn9ly Hell yeah bro! This new generation of hardware unlocks EVERYTHING for free. Why buy x game from Ubisoft when some nerds made a better version for free? or you can just emulate, which is quite literally NOT piracy. You are emulating an entire discontinued console, not "just" software. All these pretend game companies that just sell access to their hardware are fudged. Nintendo. Sony. Microsoft....
