We Need More Unique Handhelds Like This! (RGB20SX Review)

[@irishforever12]

TD: Good things come in square packages. *Hovers finger over skip button* TD: Sandwiches are square. Everyone loves sandwiches. *Removes hovering finger* Me: Go on…

[@TechDweeb]

I've never seen a more pin-worthy comment

[@thehalevirus8477]

Seriously gotta say, this guy's channel is so underrated...

[@TechDweeb]

He loved hearing that

[@NoiseRockGamer]

​​​@@TechDweebYou're doing great, man. Just keep loving what you do, enjoy the ride and don't stress the small stuff. Wishing you much more success on your future endeavors.

[@oW0LFP4CKo]

​@@TechDweeb I agree, this channel is extremely underrated. I just started my handheld journey, looking to replace my phone with a dedicated device for my daily coucher. I stumbled upon this channel going over some of the devices I liked and I can't stop watching. Even if I'm not interested, you make it fun learning about all these things haha keep going and please don't stop 😅

[@Booneface]

Metacritic gave this channel a 93. I think that's pretty great.

[@sarahdaviscc]

Bit surprised that they're promoting sx without protection. Sounds really risky.

[@MikeySaxMusic]

Pre-marital sx… lol 👰‍♂️

[@OndrejSvinciak-qr7uc]

Rgb"´20 SEX , i will never call it anything else

[@mallmann72]

The official console of SEX

[@MegaKiri11]

They only SEX you need

[@Tetrastructural]

That and Debbie does Date Squares. Tech Dweeb was really excited for this one! 😂

[@Assassinamento]

Here in Brazil most pizzas are delivered in a circular box

[@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w]

You can get square pizzas too. In other parts of the world.

[@luyaram]

It's octagonal, not really circular, but yeah

[@-Astro--]

Square pizza is simpler to make than a circular box so why isn't pizza square should be the question 😃

[@THETECHFROMJIMNIM]

Over here it's shape like a male genital

[@TechDweeb]

Pizza box technology in Brazil is years ahead!

[@RXZA23]

Love how personal your reviews are

[@arielcarrillobuzo9916]

I bought the RGB30 (mostly to play Pico 8) because of your video and I'm having a blast playing SNES, Pico 8, GBC and even GBA! The screen is fantastic. PS: using postmaster to play some PC games works surprisingly well. My favorites so far are Cave Story, VVVVVV (both classics), bumpers and broadswords, but the game I can't seem to put down so far is nuclear throne mobile. Thanks for the recommendation and great content, as always!

[@GreenTeaViewer]

I picked up an RGB30 last year as my one and only handheld, and I keep watching videos about new handhelds, but I just can't pull the trigger. The RGB30 is all I need.

[@VladNerd]

Damn it man, I missed my bus stop while watching your video, and it's pouring rain outside. 😄 You owe me a hot coco and a conversation about our favorite retro games.

[@TechDweeb]

Sorry about the bus, but I'll take you up on that coco!

[@ninoland9447]

The rgb30 is my Go to Handgeld. Cheap Square and hdmi

[@steveking9514]

Love the orange and black aesthetic. 👌

[@codysluis7521]

When I was a kid I had a snes and that damn jurassic park game was so hard but so ahead of it's time, I played it all the time for years and never got close to beating it as a little kid, seeing a small glimpse of it in this video gave me a flashback off breaking snes controllers raging out as a small gamer lol

[@TechDweeb]

Same! That game destroyed young TechDweeb

[@wolfy40oz]

This video sold me. Ordered one in yellow with the biggest memory card haha thanks for the great review. Can't wait.

[@majinshinsa]

Debbie can’t keep getting away with this!!!!

[@TechDweeb]

Right!?

[@SansINess53]

techdweeb : we need more unique handhelds!!! RGB30 : and I took that personally.

[@2LoudTech]

Thank you for an honest review on the RGB20SEX 😂 I love it as well. I am like you you though and prefer verticals for retro games. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and you had me dying with the snitch style joysticks.

[@KingKalos5th]

Great that powkiddy desided to go for vertical rgb30. Man... I love the nostalgic looks of vertical handgelds! I end up ordering horizontal(35xxh) tho as I found it way more comfortable due to my big hands.... And now by just watching you play, you made me realise I was just holding vertical consoles wrong... 😅

[@TommySuX]

This is one of my favorite cold opens you’ve done lol

[@GameTechTalk]

Gosh how do you keep making bangers like that Dweeb? This video made me want to buy another RGB30 and a freaking RGB20SX but even more, that video entertained the hell out of me. THANKS!

[@skopsi7539]

Mr Techdweeb sir, I’m enjoying the video but can we talk about that Tetris gameplay?

[@TechDweeb]

Jealous of my skills?

[@SensibleChuckle]

​@@TechDweebI was waiting for somebody to comment on this... Totally baiting the audience... I love it.

[@ubermut1]

"that could act like a wedge a chop your leg clean off" I spat out my drink lol

[@TechDweeb]

In these parts getting kicked in the Powkitty is a real concern

[@Tombastic77]

Thank you for mentioning the Bluetooth issue! I've been struggling with that and it's good to know there's some firmware fix!

[@Tombastic77]

Found it. www.reddit.com/r/RGB30/comments/1buyek5/tar_patch_released_to_fix_the_jelos_bluetooth/

Came here to find someone who pointed this out!

[@KyleRuggles]

It's hip to be square! Great review!

[@0Ninja0Dude0]

I demand a merch store with techdweeb sweaters stickers and patches

[@nextgm30]

Thank you so much for bringing up Pico-8 in this vid! I went to the other vid afterwards, and discovered a marvelous console and am now trying to hoard a bunch of games from it lol.

[@SynthetiThespis]

Enjoying this video with a square Sicilian pizza and my RGB30 nearby

[@randyedmonds8742]

Your videos have gotten so "pro"! You are good at this KZbin thing.

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy!

[@digitizer3627]

Pow Kitty 🐈🐈‍⬛ is my fav budget handheld company. Thanks to them i was able to afford a handheld❤. Thanks for the video

[@randyedmonds8742]

I wish they would change their name from "pow kiddy" to "pow kitty".

[@therelaxeffectrelaxingsoun2548]

this guy man... just a few seconds and he's hilarious. Definitely makes watching videos more fun to listen to, got yourself a sub

[@smidlee7747]

I've always been a square so you can say I'm a square nerd. I remember those square floppy C-64 disc. The disc drive sounded like it was eating the disc.

[@joshanton2259]

I lost it about the OCD and sticker centering, I'm with you😂

[@adinwalls]

FALSE! Sandwiches made with ciabatta are NOT square! Seriously though, one of the best TD intros and a top tier TD vid for sure.

[@TechDweeb]

Sandwiches with ciabatta aren't sandwiches, they're candwiches. 😘

[@KrazyShark]

I wonder what it would've looked like without the sticks and they kept it simple for all retro emulation up to PS1. Cause man that is one TALL BOY. But then again a lot of people wouldn't buy a Retro Handheld without joysticks cause they do come in handy for Arcade games, especially Shmups and N64 obviously so it would be a ruffer sale maybe. Looking forward to that Pico-8 vid ! :)

[@Rayu25Demon]

Am i Hearing RGB20SeX ?

[@Antisympathy]

Yeah ‼️👀 glad I’m not the only one but he’s probably saying s x tho🤣

[@poultrylord7300]

Pow Kitty is still my favorite running gag, right up there with Hermione.... MEOW

[@kebab_boi]

Found my new fave channel. I love you tech dweeb!!!!

[@TechDweeb]

Welcome!

[@kebab_boi]

@@TechDweeb also tech dweeb, I got a random question for you, what are your top 5 fave albums of all time? (If that’s too hard, what’s your top 5 fave artists of all time)

[@damiengrief]

I just bought the RGB30. But man, I love the idea of this vertical, too.

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

I might need one of these. Ive yet to own a Powkiddy device and they should be represented in my redudant collection of slightly different handhelds. Also i absolutely needed BMO in my life. Im happier knowing BMO is somewhere in the universe saying adorable random things.

[@user-nd7rd8jo6h]

One of my new favorite channels 🥰 Love your voice

[@TechDweeb]

Thanks buddy 😁

[@Evergreen085]

I've never heard of Pico 8 and I'm 39... Not afraid to admit it ether! I'm going to dive in and see what it's all about. I've got a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and soon a Miyoo A30. I'll be watching that Pico video too.

[@LordNuttington]

That screen looks so good, but if I get one then it's a slippery slope to being a collector, but my RP3+ is not great for GB and I assume worse for Pico 8 😬

[@thesidneychan]

I was expecting a segway into Squarespace.

[@Mbuna92]

TechDweeb can find the positive in anything

[@beowolf410]

Can't wait for the pico 8 video. The screen is what had me circling the RGB30, but it looked uncomfortable. This though looks a bit more interesting. Is it similar in size to the 405V, That thing was so comfortable to hold and game on.

[@shinigamiauthor]

oh this one's gonna be a need to buy

[@anbernicguy]

SX without protection will get any man in trouble.

[@SuperSZ]

You know the system is gonna be good when it literally has a smiley face 😃 with the start, select and that other button

[@grimmjonog6851]

I maaaaay need this for dedicated Pico 8

[@Bibvock]

When I play it.. I feel like I'm being watched👀Poor joke aside, do you have any plans of getting the rg28xx? I'd love to hear your thoughts

[@edwardgreenjr167]

Vertical handhelds are for gamers with _smaller hands._ There, I said it. In all serious though, great vid as always. Love my RGB30, curious if they'll make a clam-shell one since that seems to be the latest craze.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Yeah I am not a fan of vertical screens I’m very tempted to get the pk x55 as it has a nice clear 5.5 inch screen, both sonic adventure Dreamcast games plus thousands of other pre installed games landscape orientation plus looks a lot more comfortable to hold for long periods as your hands aren’t all cramped - yeah I must have bigger hands than I thought I did…

[@alyx4436]

I might be interested in the as a pureley vertical shooter machine. I would love a 3:4 ascpect device (4:3 on its side) but this is close enough.

[@KevinAdams06]

It’s hip to be a square, so hip to be a square 🎵

[@UnderTheSkin13]

Mom says hi back and wants to know if you want strawberry or apricot jam on your toast.

[@TechDweeb]

What a sweetie. Does she have root beer jelly?

[@FabuBrik]

Best thing about this is the pow kitty forcing the RG cube

[@ryanfowlow8034]

Only a monster cuts date squares into rectangles. BTW: You should totally make that mouse pad available for purchase! TechDweeb Mouse-Pad.. Yeahh..

[@spartan.falbion2761]

I've never tried date squares...but most haven't tried mounts that let you use the monitor in portrait mode.

[@MrDonCoyote]

I agree that the 16:9 systems can get a little too small. So if you can zoom about 5 - 10% on those, that should do the trick.

[@makingvideogamehistory3028]

What I would really like is that screen in something with higher build quality. I ended up selling my rgb30 just because I was frustrated with how finicky the charging is. Also, more pocketable devices with a square or gameboy aspect ratio would be great to have.

[@mrdrissou_]

So beautiful, the screen look awesome 👍🏻

[@3van1993]

"If you're not playing Pico-8 then trust me, you're stupid" 😂

[@jonathont5570]

Love the 30, will have to look at this one, does it have the same quirkiness in battery / turning on as the 30 does...

[@TechDweeb]

Yup same quirkyness, however I did the same thing I did on my RGB30 to help with the battery calibration - charge it fully, open it up, unplug battery for 10 seconds, then slap it back together. Completely fixed the goofy battery problems I was having.

[@SensibleChuckle]

I much prefer the horizontal layout as opposed to the vertical. But I definitely prefer an aluminum handheld. I love the RGB30 for obvious reasons as pointed out in all the videos, but it does feel cheesy.

[@lowpolyduck]

The absolute shade at stickers, dang

[@JWG.LLC_The_Artist]

Waiting on the rg3xxsp!!!!!! It's almost ready, aaaaand it's almost my birthday 😈

[@jackdoobie]

Thanks, the flyer's gong to pull the whole hallway together.

[@TechDweeb]

Jack! I didn't notice this message when you posted it. Thanks so much you legend!

[@jackdoobie]

@@TechDweeb no no no TD, thank you so much for taking the time to help a brutha out. I appreciate it.

[@crystal_is_cozy]

It feels so good to play pico-8 on this thing, I love it so much. Everything looks beautiful and you know I love verticals. Also? Loved that Tetris gameplay.

[@TechDweeb]

THANK YOU! I'm glad someone noticed the effort I put into that Tetris segment.

[@crystal_is_cozy]

@@TechDweeb of course!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

So wait, are they still updating JELOS for the RPG30? I mean if the 20sx is basically the same thing but verticle that means you're getting a firmware that won't see anymore updates unless the devs changed their minds. I thought that was the whole reason ROCKNIX came along... I need to know if I should switch over now.

[@abruoon]

you sound like a Smiling Friends character and I love you for it

[@Nick-dk3zh]

Does it have rumble ? Unfortunately the RGB30 didn’t..

[@johnsducks9816]

I really wish some of these gameboy centered handhelds would use offset face buttons like the rg300x so i can actually play gameboy platformers using a and b, id buy this inna heartbeat if it did.

[@marcosborotti9053]

Where did you get those bezels? They're awesome!

[@Tetrastructural]

Back in my day, Debbie did a lot of things very well… but date squares are a little outside her wheelhouse, I think!

[@Rowsell98]

Possibly in first 10? Happy to catch it early!

[@Shawn_277]

I still think to play these systems anbernic ARC is the best device for the systems like gb/gba/gbc/nes/genesis/mega etc the comfort, screen and buttons are high quality and nostalgic at the same time, also i kind of skip powkiddy because of their horrible build and lack of support. after ad experience with RGB30 i tried again with RGB10MAX3 preordered but couldn't start it ever, board inside was problem, they refuse to help, on the other hand anbernic/ retroid/ even retailers of Magic and Rs help you for OFB failures. never had once a failure with any other brand I have around 30 ish consoles excluding high end decks(2) and Ally. Awesome video, I love how you highlight PICO 8

[@Bibvock]

Made me spit out my coffee at "trust me, you're stupid. " 😅🤣😂❤great vid of a great handheld.

[@Alex-------]

This without the sticks would be instant buy for me.

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah I'm with ya. The sticks are pointless on this thing for the games I play on it.

[@captainlcm]

This is so good! Just wanted to clarify, are the all the games included in the console out of the box?

[@therunawaykid6523]

I have the pk rgb 20s I like it but haven’t played it in a while mainly because it is a vertical display device and I find my hands get really cramped and uncomfortable tempted to get the pk x55 as I have always preferred a landscape display which I have always found way more comfortable to hold for long periods plus it also has a lovely clear 5.5 inch screen and both sonic adventure Dreamcast games pre installed as well as thousands of other games 😁😉

[@codysluis7521]

Mr Dweeb sir I have a question, from what I saw in rgb30 reviews most people said that it had some charging issues and bad drainage in sleep mode, I was wondering if this new SX model is better with that? Thank you for your time

[@PiousInquistor]

Do you always place your screen facing out in your pocket for the device you're carrying?

[@TechDweeb]

Depends on the device, I could go either way, it's more about which direction is more comfortable

[@PiousInquistor]

@TechDweeb gotcha. I usually have screen facing inwards because I worry about it getting hit by something. Like a low countertop or table.

[@jonnyeh]

Does this Powkiddy actually charge using normal USB-C cables?

[@TechDweeb]

Yup. 5v charger, USB A to C cable.

[@satellitelazarus]

Is the non functioning button a Function button? Like if you hold down the button and then tap Start or Select, does it do something else?

[@Dragoni0us]

Bro…you need merch. That mouse pad would be a dope print for pajama pants/my everyday work from home pants

[@cho-v4n]

Hey I got a question please MR tech dweeb - how common are TWO USB C ports?? Im looking for a device like this, but I much prefer USB c headphones, so this one might be ideal, but are there others like this mate?

[@TechDweeb]

It's not very common. Powkiddy devices are usually the only ones that do it like this. The X55 also has 2. I can't vouch for the USBC headphone compatibility though, I don't have any to test.

[@NickTaylor-Phantom-Works2]

@TechDweeb OK mate. Thank you for replying. I'll keep looking into it.

The powkiddy x55 also has two usb c ports and even hdmi out
