Thanks.This is an excellent comparison and review video. I just got win mini 8840U version too! Wonder if you could make a video about how to use RSR and AFMF to enhance gaming performance further on the Win Mini? I think that’s an excellent topic to explore because win mini has a compact size and it’s more optimal to run at a lower TDP for better battery life and less heat

Currently trying out a Minisforum V3...It's crazy good. But the more I see that OneXPlayer x1, the more I'm considering it. Seems to be more the size I'm looking for. The V3 is great, but it's much bigger than I expected (not a bad thing, depends on uses)

Bro the magnetic grips r a serious GAME CHANGER for the Win Mini's ergonomic, and they look off the Ocu port because people went postal about the lack of usb port, even tho they give u a C to A dongle, but now that the Ocu is gone people r losing their minds again , "grass is always greener" / "people always want what they dont have" types of shenanigans i guess

Hey I been wondering bro, what do u think of the 2 pro controllers? Are they better feeling ergonomically since they r larger than the X1 controllers? I was thinking those controllers would've been a much better size option to use on the X1 than the size of the ones we actually get
@BarelyAverageDude2 ай бұрын
OXP 2 controllers are 100% more comfortable than the X1. BUT they are much thicker so it wouldn’t really work on the X1 unless the tablet was almost 2x the thickness. But who wants an 11in tablet that thick? 🤷🏽♂️ It’s an unfortunate compromise to have a 3in1.
@According2AshShow2 ай бұрын
@@BarelyAverageDude oh ya I totally get that, I just meant like if they modeled the X1 controllers closer to that of 2/2 pro to be more proportionate to the 11 inch tablet size then it wouldve been much better if a decision I think, like same materials and whatnot but alter the size a lil bit and maybe move some buttons/joysticks around for optimal ergonomics

You have to make sacrifices when adding detachable controllers like this. It's by design to have the one usb-c port covered while in handheld mode, you don't need more than 1 port lol you can't use a keyboard, mouse and controllers all at the same time so what else are you planning on plugging in? If you need more just use a 180 degree usb-c adapter and velcro a usb-c hub to the back of the device and charge it through that 😅
@BarelyAverageDude23 күн бұрын
@@chrisboucher2813 it’s by design; a bad design 😅🤷🏽♂️ Put one on each side or put one on top. I won’t accept that covering a port in handheld mode is the best design humanly possible. We shouldn’t argue that “you don’t need more than 1 port in handheld mode” because you don’t even have the option if you wanted to. In my use case I would definitely utilise both ports, even in handheld mode because EVERY other handheld with 2 ports can use both while handheld. I understand trade offs (every device has them), but when I think something can be better I say that.

I saw you post that you have a Razer Kishi Ultra/Ipad Mini setup. I'm interested in your thoughts on that controller and setup overall? And do you think the ergonomic issue with the X1 would be alleviated with the smaller X1 mini?
@BarelyAverageDude2 ай бұрын
1. I love the iPad mini with Kishi ultra! It’s now my favourite way to play PSP games. It also has enough performance to play every game iOS has to offer that doesn’t require an M1 chip. If you have an iPad mini stop reading this and get the Kishi ultra! 2. I don’t think the x1 mini will improve the ergonomics enough to be comfortable. Yes it will be lighter which helps, but the real problem is the actual position of the stick and buttons. My thumb won’t be less cramped because it’s the same controller. But we’ll see if I change my mind when it comes.

I guess I'm going to cancel my X1 mini order because I have large hands as well and when I saw you point out that right stick position issue, that pretty much was a deal breaker for me.
