Customize Miyoo Mini With Me + Teardown, Grip Case, and GIVEAWAY!

[@RetroBreezeYT]

I startled awake from a deep slumber, covered in cold sweat, gasping for breath. I looked around. Familiar surroundings. My room. But different. It's dark, of course, but there's something else. A small, blinking pin-prick of light next to the bed. I reach for it like the first caveman reached toward his first flame. As I lift the source of the light, it glows brighter. A flash of light, perfectly rectangular. It's my phone, with a notification. The Retro Tech Dad mentioned the Miyoo Mini.

[@retrotechdad]

🤣🤣Amazing, I've pinned this comment. 🤗

[@ironsteel8747]

Dude U must write some awesome novels 😂

[@breaddev1522]

I hate how this is exactly what someone who just woke up to a youtube video notification would comment

[@Doubleedgedpersona]

Hey there! I'm the creator/seller of the Gripcase, thanks for the shoutout - I'm glad you're liking the case. Just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to future content!

[@retrotechdad]

Very cool, I was going to reach out but you beat me to it! 🤗😉 Thank you for your awesome work. 💗

[@Hulkachan]

You sell them too expensive >:(

[@Doubleedgedpersona]

@@Hulkachan Sorry you feel that way - it's a lot of time and work to make and assemble every one by hand, and I value my time. But there's lots of other cheap options out there if you think so!

[@Censorshift]

@@Doubleedgedpersonado you have anything for the Miyoo Mini plus?

[@akucita6991]

This is the first video I watch that doesn't make it seem as if I need to know rocket engineering to custom my device. Thank you!!

[@Retrohut305]

Looking forward for the miyoo mini if I can find one and the retroid Pocket 4. Gorgeous icy blue my god I need one

[@sunny3dstore320]

Thanks for featuring my product! Loved seeing your thoughts on them. Excelent video as always and love to see the new Miyoo Mini content coming from you. Keep up the great work, great to see this community grow! (Also great dog name).

[@davidwelte1807]

Love the SunnyD buttons! So cool.

[@lab503]

Great video! The amount of customization and accessories available for the miyoo mini it's incredible! For this year, I'm looking forward to what miyoo will be delivering to follow on the success of the mini. The only handheld I own is an old beaten up Bittboy V3 (the grandfather of the miyoo mini), with several issues that I managed to fix to keep playing (replacing ripped membranes by some taken from a TV remote, reinstalling the micro USB charging port...). For that reason I have a special feeling about this manufacturer.

[@mlopezmad]

Miyoo mini has been a record for two years and this is the path of what is expected. more powerful truly portable machines. I expect more powerful machines in this format :)

[@retrotechdad]

Agreed, I do love seeing what's possible in such a small size.

[@joshuaellison621]

I love how customizable these little guys are. Anyway, my most looked forward to handheld for the next year is the mythical KT-R1.

[@retrotechdad]

I think that is part of their popularity, the customization is fun and lets you make the device your own. I hope I didn't jinx the KT-R1 since the miyoo p60 never happened. 🤣😁

[@TechDweeb]

I'm still on the hunt for a blue mini. I have a fun mod in mind that NEEDS the blue. I don't care how long it takes to find one, but I refuse to pay the scalper tax!

[@retrotechdad]

If I can catch one at the right time (which seems to be at some crazy time in the AM for me) I'll try to grab you a blue one. The restocks are ridiculous, they sell out in seconds. 🤣😅

[@FUTABA-kg]

It's amazing that we have a lot of options to customize our Miyoos. The community here in Japan is really tiny, but still, there are a few creators who provide fancy stuff such as buttons, which is an amazing thing. The handheld I'm looking forward to is the next generation of the Retroid Pocket series. Maybe Retroid Pocket 4, but I'm not sure what the name will be.

[@retrotechdad]

Very cool, I love interacting and getting perspective from gamers all around the world! 🤗💗

[@sharonyi]

Just recently started getting into retro handhelds and I’m hooked! I recently got the Anbernic rg535v and it’s amazing!! Still waiting for a chance to buy the miyoo mini because of all the great reviews and the size seems perfect for me but I’m excited to really get into this hobby and get more devices maybe a retroid!

[@retrotechdad]

Welcome aboard, it's a ton of fun and a very dangerous hobby! 😁😁

[@kumbackquatsta]

this is a great mix of content. love the variety and comprehensiveness

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you as always! 🙏💗

[@kyleramirez4443]

Amazing video!!! My son has been obsessed with all these handhelds and watches videos on them everyday especially your channel.And I must say playing them brings out the little kid in me!!! He’s always talking to me about this KT-R1 that is coming out and we are super excited and can’t wait to our hands on it.Keep up the great work and Happy New Year!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@carlosg.a.3135]

The Retroid Pocket 3+ fits perfectly my gaming needs and my pocket. I'm expecting to buy one this year.

[@retrotechdad]

The RP3+ is an excellent choice!

[@moistmansion6927]

Thanks for this! I am still waiting for my MiyooMini to arrive but I’ve also been contemplating and excited for the RG35 or the ODIN in 2023. Hoping that in 2023 GarlicOS for the RG is comparable to OnionOS for the Miyoo.

[@naughtpoh]

Honestly only looking forward to getting my hands on one of these minis. The moment I found out these things existed, I’ve been on a restless hunt to acquire one. Thanks for doing this giveaway and offering hope to those of us still in search of this morsel of a device. :)

[@retrotechdad]

I can't believe how popular they've been!

[@souziago]

I'm excited for a more powerful Miyoo Mini. But they have to maintain the same format. It's perfect.

[@salitz91]

I am excited for the GPD Win 4, if only because it will help push the market for Steam Deck-tier devices. I've been wondering about that Miyoo grip case for a while. I'm about to order his Clipshield for my RP3+, so may as well tack it on! I like how it can accept the improved back buttons too.

[@retrotechdad]

The Grip Case is solid, definitely recommend it!

[@tomaslimaAKAtomyfox]

I just ordered a miyoo a few days ago and i don't know if I'm more anxious to play with it or to customize it ahaha. For 2023 i hope to buy a Steam Deck too to have the maximum poweer xD Great video!

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you! I agree, when I finally ordered stuff last month I think I was most excited about that. 😅🤣

[@chrisstyler]

I'm looking forward to the Retroid Pocket 4/4+. I think both together are the perfect combination between portability and comfort.

[@chestercastillo2703]

Really love the final result of the blue one! I think everyone will agree that in some form, we are excited with any new handheld that comes out. But I'm most interested with the upcoming GPD Win 4, looks sleek for a Windows handheld.

[@sethtoybes9392]

Thanks Retro Tech Dad, great stuff as usual! I think I'm looking forward to the Razer Edge not necessariyl because I want one but it further brings in first party manufacturers into the fold of new handhelds and I'm all for the competition heating up!

[@retrotechdad]

Agreed, the more mainstream companies the better. It's definitely helping drive down the prices.

[@sethtoybes9392]

@@retrotechdad absolutely I just meant in getting hardware diversity and companies testing different things. But price is huge too and you're spot on there!

[@astandardrat]

I got several handhelds in 2022 but I'm excited to see any news on new Steam Deck iterations or maybe an RP4/4+ would be really exciting to see :)

[@retrotechdad]

It would be awesome to see a new chipset go into the RP4/4+, we gotta keep moving towards that budget PS2 dream.

[@nfriedly]

I'm hoping that the lower-end AYN Loki's ship and/or someone else puts out some low-cost x86 handhelds. In particular the Intel Loki Mini Pro looks interesting. Also, the KT-R1 - I'm really rooting for niluanxy, and I hope he manages to ship it soon!

[@retrotechdad]

I finally got a Odin Pro on the way. Hopefully AYN will improve their logistics for 2023. Agree about the KT-R1, I'm hoping he can figure everything out because I really want to get my hands on one!

[@smush4002]

The Miyoo P60 for sure, from what I've seen it's the perfect middle ground between a Miyo Mini and a Ayn Odin. Having a small pocketable PS2/Gamecube emulator would be the dream for me.

[@allen0088]

Crystal clear buttons would look perfect for the blue. Like Caribbean waters

[@hopperlynch]

I'm actually looking forward to get a Miyoo Mini. I was never able to get one and had no opportunity to buy it. In my humble opinion, the Miyoo Mini is the perfect device as it can play all the games I love and it is a beautiful piece of tech. Thank you for this opportunity and Happy New Year! 😊

[@Myurr]

I just love this little guy, It looks great with custom buttons

[@retrotechdad]

I think that's part of the fun, all of the customization that can be easily done!

[@projjwal]

Looking forward to a follow up to the Miyoo Mini in 2023! Nothing quite captures the magic of Game Boys like the Miyoo Mini!

[@schlittytube]

I'm a big fan of my TrimUI Model S but the "Smart" didn't really get me excited. So I'm very interested to see if one of the many coming TirmUI devices end up worthwhile (Model M, Model S2, Smart Pro, Smart Brick).

[@retrotechdad]

Same, curious to see which of the new TrimUI devices will be the one to get!

[@egarciaz79]

Im looking forward to anbernic’s devices. Started to get into retro handheld consoles and the miyoo mini is on my list but cant find one at a decent price.

[@retrotechdad]

Definitely look into the RG35XX if you like the smaller form factor. I can't believe how hard it still is to get a Miyoo mini!

[@NaraMakesGames]

That miyoo blue with the better triggers is gorgeous.

[@dylandust6201]

The handheld I'm most looking forward to in 2023 is... The Miyoo Mini! I say this because they're still so difficult to come by, I'd like to own every colorway, and I've heard rumors there may be other colors coming in the future. Cheers to 2023!

[@Cloudlife6]

Hey retro dad, hope all is great, this is Julian from Cloudlife, thanks for including us in your video! Shoot us a message through Etsy so we can send you a few sets of our new cloud shoulder buttons! We look forward to hearing from you, happy gaming! ☁️

Thank you and hopefully Miyoo releases something new soon!

[@emmanuelandal3758]

Actually just got some 3d printed parts for the mini so can't wait to customize them. Looking forward ti the trimui line-up that are hopefully good price to performance

[@redwngz0290]

I just subscribed this past weekend. I really enjoy all your content. I am not sure which handheld I am anticipating the most. I do like that the miyoo mini is so easily customizable. Keep up the great work.

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you so much for the sub and welcome to the channel! 💗🤗

[@danielkocsis]

KT R1 would be the perfect handheld. The screen size is perfect and the device is powerful enough to emulate ps2/wii too. Maybe the white one, if I win.

[@retrotechdad]

So many of us looking forward to the KT-R1! 🤗

[@evanhiatt9755]

I’m very passionate about VR! Looking forward to the Pimax portal, but have been super interested in retro handhelds recently!

Most looked forward to handheld? Hmm. I'm just hoping for an upgraded Mini. I also have the Sunny3DStore buttons! His store just went active again the other day and it has new colors.

[@retrotechdad]

Uh oh, time to check out the options! 🤣😁

[@nahs.]

Thank you for showing some of the mods I was curious of. I think I’m looking forward to what Trimui will come out with.

[@unanimoustuba_]

I just got back into this hobby so I don’t know about all the new stuff but the Anbernic RG35xx looks pretty nice if the firmware improves

[@retrotechdad]

RG35XX is definitely one to watch, GarlicOS is progressing quickly.

[@phillafleur2048]

Nice video! I’m new in this hobby and I hope to finally get my hands on one of these. Looking forward for the Retroid pocket 4+ this year. Who knows, maybe even the 5+ at the pace they announce them!

[@retrotechdad]

Welcome! It's a fun hobby to be in but very dangerous. 😅😁

[@MikeD-kp2so]

Just ordered an rg353m, and I'm pretty excited for it because I loved my 350. It's a good time to be a handheld gamer.

[@thursobhoy1888]

Great channel, thanks for all the videos. I'm completely new to retro handhelds but have just got a rp3+ and loving it. I'm really looking forward to the new kt r1. But I'd love a miyoo mini.

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you! 💗🤗The RP3+ is really one of the best, great choice!

[@davidwelte1807]

Love to Win the Miyoo Mini with the customized Sunny D buttons! Great overview about these cool additions to the base mini.

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you, I appreciate it! The Sunny buttons are beautiful for sure.

[@ryansoucyracing]

Hard to say what I'm looking forward to in 2023. The Miyoo Mini has brought me so much pleasure in 2022 it'll be hard to top. I've had a RP3+ in my shopping cart but didn't pull the trigger. I've stalked the RG353M as well. I'm thinking if I have to choose between SFF and power, I'd choose SFF. I'm waiting for someone to put something in a Nintendo DSi clamshell. The size was perfect, give me smooth Dreamcast and some DOS performance and you got a buyer.

[@retrotechdad]

Seriously, we need a good clamshell!

[@georged7627]

Rp3+ is what I'm thinking of getting next...great vid bro 🙏🏽I've got most of the powkiddy and Anbernic devices and made my own grip cases for them from Nintendo switch grips 110 percent comfy now 🤘🏾

[@alvinbalatbat]

Looking forward to the RP4 and three weeks later, the RP4+!

[@retrotechdad]

🤣🤣😅

[@KouD3Graw]

Congrats. I'm looking forward to the GPD Win 4. That keyboard is a very useful utility for adding value to a handheld device other than just playing games. Could even program games from the device with no need to attach a mouse and keyboard. Also the screen size is lovely for my eyeballs.

[@k_i_k_ii]

I'm looking forward to the AYN Loki. I'm curious to see if it will be a decent pc handheld at a reasonable price.

[@marioportillo546]

the device im looking forward to the most is the new anbernic device that can compete with the miyoo mini as i still am unable to attain one, plus the atomic purple color is really really fire, as well as the onion os system, i still don’t have a retro device so it would be my first one

[@retrotechdad]

The RG35XX from Anbernic is looking like a pretty solid alternative. GarlicOS for it is progressing very quickly!

[@NaraMakesGames]

I'm most excited to see what Anbernic does. Because they have had a ton of misses in 2022, and a couple hits (the 353m was solid). I'm guessing we are gonna get more metal handhelds from them in 2023. Which is everything I need!

[@Marcusunny]

I just found about the mini and was able to get one today! I'm excited to explore more this year 2023. Maybe a bigger miyoo?

[@tionanima]

The KT r1 seems like the perfect handheld to me small, powerful emulation up to PS2 and not overpriced

[@fgcDraft]

I do want to see what Miyoo comes up with next, but that KT-R1 lookin real good!

[@retrotechdad]

I know they had a few devices in the works but seem to be overwhelmed by the success of the Miyoo Mini. I can't wait to get my hands on a KT-R1!

[@burrynter]

Probably not the most exciting choice, but I'm interested in the new TrimUI Brick. Could end up being a decent alternative to the Miyoo Mini, with how inaccessible those are.

[@nemera3418]

I like the powkiddy v90 even to this day because of the clamshell form factor and budget friendly intention!

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

Handheld device I am looking forward to is the Powkiddy x28 or whatever it is called with a T618 in it. They messed up the X18s twice lets see how they do later. Also the RH legend.

[@retrotechdad]

I completely forgot about the X28, I wonder what is going on with that? 🤔

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

[@retrotechdad]

We're very close, starting to see more and more options!

[@JohnYouk]

The form factor and overall quality of the miyoo makes it my favorite retro handheld. Looking forward to see more around this device to happen in 23 :D

Excited for the Odin2! Hoping that it's somewhat capable for switch emulation.

[@nrb27]

I'm new to handhelds and retro gaming in general looking to get into it this year, mostly I'm looking forward to get a Retroid Pocket 3+ but it seems to be still on preorder. Looks like in this hobby after finding the product that seems right you also need to work through price inflaction and scarsity.

[@yodayodi]

Great video, love your content! And the handheld im most looking forward to for this year is the Ayn Loki.

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you, much appreciated! 🤗🙏 We finally got some updated pictures of the Loki!

[@MrJtl10]

Really looking forward to something that competes with the Odin line somewhere in that 200 Dollar range.

[@k3nl4w]

At first, I didn't really like the transparent blue one. But after seeing your modding, 🙀 I really love it! And by the way, I really look forward to the full review of the GPD Win 4.

[@retrotechdad]

I'm very excited to get the Win 4, should be quite the handheld. I think the multi-colored buttons on the blue Miyoo make it look pretty bad. I think the mod really makes it look a lot sharper! 🤩😍

[@tyler-om7ix]

I’m most excited for how this form factor evolves in 2023 and beyond. Can someone take advantage of an improved chipset without massively sacrificing form factor? Or is the market satisfied with improving upon the features of a PS1 and below device?

[@kentjdavies]

I am really hoping the Miyoo p60 or the horizontal Miyoo mini comes out this year but we shall see

[@retrotechdad]

Same, it would be really awesome to see something new release from Miyoo! 🤞🙏

[@carlosl.2673]

I'm looking forward to the KT-R1 and Loki handheld.

the EDGE this year but at the moment it is the retroid pocket 3 plus i have on the way

[@retrotechdad]

Really cool to see lot of interest around the Razer Edge, looking forward to covering it!

[@SEVEN_handle]

I do want to see the kt-r1 and I hope it will be able to radically change this market since it will have a more powerful processor than usual, let's just hope they don't indulge themselves with prices..

[@elyoungque]

I'm looking forward to seeing the Aya Neo 2! Would love a review if you get your hands on one!

[@wingnut323]

I'd like to get a Miyoo Mini or the Anbernic 35xx. As for upcoming, maybe something that can handle the Nintendo DS XL or looks like the DS XL with a working 2nd screen.

I really can't wait for a more definitive list of the best upgrade components to put in the Miyoo. I also can't wait for the next retroid.

[@yasec-life]

Both technically came out last year. But I just ordered the rg35xx and the rp3+. I’m brand new to handheld gaming, and jumped into the deep end! The AYN Loki seems super interesting, but like a lot of devices last year, it has had a rough pre launch! But it’s got my interest!
