The Anbernic RG405M Is Still King - Five Month Review

[@jimbles5071]

Had issues with the triggers recently so I just bought a screwdriver kit just so I can take a look inside. A premium feeling device, with low quality parts inside.

[@MAXXMP3]

Yep haven't even had mine 6 months and all the shoulder buttons stopped working

[@solomonkane408]

I’ve had mine since launch I took a chance not knowing much about emulation and it’s the best money I spent all year i have all the consoles and steam deck and I still use this more often it’s just nice especially with the grip I play alot of rpgs and this thing is sweet . I haven’t had any issues with its build *fingers crossed * but also I’m not rough on my shit . This thing is great for snes and gba . Great re review.

[@cho-v4n]

Always good to make a video on something you enjoy a lot. Thanks!

[@adrian_veidt]

Your channel is so underrated. The screen falling off is what pushed me to go for the rp3 plus. The rg405m is a beautiful and pocket-able device which is a shame.

[@AE-bm4no]

that was 3 months ago, i wonder if they moved improvements to the screen. another commenter here said they upgraded the shoulder microswitches.

[@peternaranjitolee]

I love the part of the video where you basically say the devise is tearing itself apart but you still love it and think it's the best there is 😂. Now, seriously, thank you very much for the video, you've been the first one to honestly tell the problems it brings 👏👏👏👏

Love my rg405m, had it since launch and its been perfect. Running Gamma 1.5 currently.

[@scaredylamb]

I want to pick up one too but I saw many complaints about the shoulder buttons not working well after a few days of use 🤔 how is your unit doing? I'm based in China so in the worst case scenario I can replace it pretty quickly, but nonetheless I hope to be lucky enough to get a perfect unit 😅

[@TeamGun]

@@scaredylamb My r2 isn't the best honestly, but I don't really use it. I bought a launch model and they used to use these small square crappy switches for the l1 r2 l2 r2. Luckly for you they switched back to what they've used on previous devices, a more sturdy bigger round switch is in the current ones :) I'd tell you how they currently come yes get it 100%. A launch model like mine, it can be hit or miss but I only care that my r1 and l1 are perfect because I don't really play systems that use r2 and l2.

[@scaredylamb]

@@TeamGun ah thanks for let me know. I'll try to check with the seller about those buttons, if they actually have been updated. I hope so. But for the price point, it's a bit of a shame the company didn't pay a bit more attention on those buttons 😕

[@tabletaccountforyoutube]

I've noticed that many handheld gaming KZbinrs, when reviewing devices, often juggle evaluations for multiple devices at once. While it's understandable given the sheer volume of devices they have, it raises questions about the depth and real-world applicability of these reviews. The average viewer is likely seeking a primary device, not an addition to a collection of 250. They're looking for longevity and reliability. Although one of these anbernic devices could have initial performance that might be satisfactory, a quick glance across forums or discord reveals many users reporting issues over time, from failing buttons to screen problems. While it's nice that Anbernic provides replacements, It really should happen in the first place. I own this device, and while all my buttons work so far, I think the shoulder buttons feel very fragile and I suspect the switches used there are really cheap junk.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Hey, I talk about this in the video, but you won't find a single device, from any manufacturer, that won't have problems. This device is exactly the one device people are looking for, and like I said, I use it daily.

[@jameswiggle]

yea etaprime probably has drawers filled with emulation handheld...it is overwhelming. lol

[@gasj2]

Nice! Mine had a problem with the R2 button not clicking anymore. I contacted the seller on Aliexpress and they sent me a new Motherboard.

[@bendover-bz4bc]

Uhh we are suppose to repair it ourselves? And what does motherboard have to do with button? Is your issue resolved?

[@gasj2]

Yes, I had to make the switch myself. But it was really easy, they even sent the torx driver along with the board. The switches are soldered to the board, and as they are very small it would require a lot of skill to resolder. So I asked for a new board and they sent it. @@bendover-bz4bc

[@djwrahfael]

Cause the R1 and R2 triggers are connected to the motherboard and you have to replace it along with the buttons. Mine is coming in the next week and I will have to do the same procedure!

When talking about the handheld, show more gameplay, makes the video more enjoyable instead of watching you talk. We want to see exactly what you are talking about and be immersed into it.

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Fair comment, will look at it. This was meant to be a more conversational video given I have double digits in videos showing this device, so kind of setup that way on purpose.

Shes right but non wrong with seeing you have happy holidays all

[@antonio_carvalho]

Great, honest, conversational video 👍🏻

[@The_Prizessin_der_Verurteilung]

Only reason I disagree on this being the best "pocketable" handheld, is because my Switch Lite fits in my trouser pocket and can play much more. (Even moreso when I finally mod it). But I do like the Ambernic RG405M, it's the first handheld to make me consider one of these cheap handhelds. And once GameCube, Dreamcast and PS2 are more compatible with them, I'll consider buying one for sure.

[@sandplasma]

That WOW statue in the back is awesome.

[@treychampagne1631]

I bought one and enjoyed it thoroughly for a month or two. I didn’t play it for a month and now it won’t charge or turn on. Any troubleshooting tips appreciated!

[@MithosDagon]

Do you have GammaOS? I get that from time to time ever since installing it. I would get this so frequently that I emailed Support before it ultimately got fixed. I just plug it in and hold the power/volume down (I believe it’s vol down instead of up…can’t fully remember) till it restarts and turns on.

[@treychampagne1631]

@@MithosDagonOMG IT WORKED . I FKN LOVE YOU DUDE

[@Oag1992]

Just bought one the other day and I’m excited to get this.

[@MithosDagon]

I kept mine, but I still think the RP3+ is better. My RG405M has this weird this where touching one part of the screen looks like I am poking atleast another part of the screen (maybe this means it is about to fall out…), the picture quality is no where near as good and I get random issues with it not turning on (which I have been able to fix by doing a restart). I love the feel and design, but it is definitely not my daily driver for retro emulation. The RP3+ has been the better one for me. So that one is still King to me…until the pocket air comes out then I might switch to that.

I was interested in this device, but decided to buy a Retroid Pocket Flip instead. However, when I decided that, my main concern was the size of the screen.

[@RadOpsTV]

Thanks for all of the work you’ve done for us on this device! Do you think there will be a revision of this device anytime soon? I’m in the market for one and I really love the whole concept. I really want it for n64, Dreamcast, and possibly GameCube.. Wii maybe? I don’t think the next chipsets will handle the Wii, will it? Thanks for your advice

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Thanks! There's been rumors of an RG406, which would have a T820 (RG556 chip). We'll have to see!

[@jestr6555]

this was my device of choice for 2023 and its been great, but my R2 button did go out I got a refund and purchased another and to my surprise they fixed the shoulder button issue by upgrading the switches to beefier ones and I haven't had any issue since. I love tinkering with the newer systems to see how good I can get the device to run those titles and believe it or not one of my favorite systems to emulate is the Wii lol trying to get the Wii motes to work properly on the rg405M and I've got it down pretty good also really love playing doom mods on this thing it just runs so smoothly on this device

[@yahyawinata287]

nice review and love your Joker t-shirt

[@NeoSpartan117]

Great device, but it's heavy vs the competition. This hurts an otherwise very comfortable device. A plastic version with Gamma would be the ultimate device!

[@roqueadeleon]

Need this, the size, power, and aspect ratio makes this like perfect. Probably going to wait a few months to a year cuz I'm not trying to spend any money at the moment and I already have a 2DSXL which can play old school stuff/handheld and my PC if I need something more powerful. Also possibly by that time there might be something more powerful at this same price point.

[@bshadowb828]

Any idea where to get a replacement battery for one of these? My battery swelled to the point that it pushed the screen out. I took the battery out and got the screen back in place but now I need a battery to keep this thing from being bricked. No response from the Anbernic customer service.

[@adamkane7513]

If only they made a version with D-Pad on top. Strange that *Anbernic* changed their typical design. Yes, I know the original *RG350* was asymetrical like this but since then they have been D-Pad aligned to the face buttons.

[@stephenslater7219]

You can look into the RG505, it's got the dpad on top and joy sticks on bottom and same basic system just a few minor differences

[@noelmunoz2571]

I just bought one but returned it because it felt too heavy to me. If it was plastic it would be perfect. I bought the grey one and it was beautiful but next time id probably stick with black. Its just a calmer color to me 😅. Hopefully the 406 is real !

[@TyGreenGoblin]

I find myself always placing this comment as of late but on temu, the 405 and 505 never go for their asking price. They offer a bunch of discounts. I have two 505's, one i paid $95 for and another $105 but I generally tell people $100 each. I could have bought the 405 for around $120 both times as well. free shipping. not trying to sell the products but i just don't think they should be compared with the retroid.

[@funkyspidermonkey5267]

Don't glue screen back on; I recommend using the double sided tape that they use on phones.

I'm searching a 4:3 aspect ratio, and I landed of RG405M because is the "biggest" 4:3 display. I already have a miyoo Mini + that is only 3.5 inches. Do you suggest the upgrade for playing the same games (GBA, Arcade) in a bigger display? or do you think is not "big enough" to worth the upgrade? Thank you Joy. I love your videos!

[@JoeysRetroHandhelds]

Not sure it'd be super worth it for just GBA and Arcade, mostly for other systems you'd want to play, N64, PS1, Dreamcast etc.

[@rickys.9219]

@JoeysRetroHandhelds thank u mate.. my point was to know that. Because my only concern is about screen size. I'm an old man that loves very old systems (c64, Atari lynx, gba, arcade..) and the 4:3 is the main feature I'm looking for. But I would like a bigger display that Miyoo Mini+ without landing in a second solution that I already have with a Raspberry Pi4 + a 4:3 lcd 10 inches that is totally not portable at all.

[@nameresu]

I destroyed my screen too, trying to unglue it again, after I messed up backlight panel, while gluing display the first time. And one thing I must add. Defauld, and gamma os android are both very clunky versions, poorly optimized to 405 screen. I'm talking about notifications, mostly. They don't fit the screen and annoying. But you don't see them 99% of the time.
