I’m really happy with this thing. I was considering getting the RG SP but it was a solid $20-30 more expensive, since it’s the newest model. Meanwhile, good offers were being made for the 34XX-SP which is basically the same device.

Initial impressions:

  • The yellow model looks great IRL. It’s less saturated than in the picture.
  • 4:3 games are really not that small on the screen, the bezels aren’t an issue like everyone says they are.
  • Controls are great, they’re clicky but not annoying or loud. The bumpers are way better than the ones in the RG35XX-H. I’m surprised how much I love the thin D-pad. The only thing I actively dislike is how loud the function button is.

      It’s better than you’d expect but still a bit cramped. You’ll have to curl your fingers in the back when holding it which might get uncomfortable when doing it for a long time. I think it’s fine unless you’re playing multiple hour sessions.

      If ergonomics are your #1 concern you’re likely better off with a horizontal handheld so your hands can hold the whole thing without issues.

        That checks out. I’ve got the R36S handheld and despite being a bit bigger (or so it seems) even that is too cramped for me. I don’t usually get to game for long stretches, but it is a factor.
