So, I originally backed the onexplayer on Indigogo, and later sold it in favour of buying the updated onexplayer 1S version from droix.co.uk ( to get UK service and UK warranty). This beast of a device is amazing. I have owned a number of GPD devices and have enjoyed all of them, however the onexplayer has so far been the best. Its got an amazing screen (much better than my OLED switch), and being an older gentleman, I can see the screen and read the text without issue. Its built very solidly, and feels very premium. And boy is it powerful as well. With the latest intel drivers, I have been enjoying some amazing games on the go (well, for me, that means sat on the couch or lying in bed). Doom Eternal, runs like a dream (and so much better than the Switch version), Forza Horizon 4 and 5, amazing (a few graphical glitches, but runs flawlessly).

I've been enjoying some older games as well, such as Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, the Tomb Raider games, We happy few, Strange Brigade, Hades, Mirrors Edge, Left for Dead 2, Back to Blood, and a lot of others. It really does handle games very well. There are still numerous issues running the very latest games, so don't be expecting to play Deathloop. What I find though, is it doesn't hurt trying out a game from steam, and if it don't work, just refund it. Also, checking out various youtube videos, and if a you can find a video of a game running on the oxp, or the intel GPD devices, you should be good to go.

Often, its nice to play games on this as opposed to the Switch as the graphics and performance is so much better. Why play a game at 30fps, low resolution and muddy graphics, when you can play at 60fps, higher res.

What I like : Emulation (PS2, some PS3 and Switch, and the usual older system's), Screen, Controls, Speed, Great games, flexibility.
What I don't like : Rumble is too harsh, storage space a little limited, SD Card reader is slow

Do your self a favour if you get one. Buy the case to keep it protected, and install a game launcher, something like playnite, to get a console like experience on it.

Yes, its expensive, but if your looking at it, you already know that. Best thing about it over something like the switch : Cheap PC games - sales are so much better on PC, better performance.

I wanted the SteamDeck but got put off by the long wait til after Q2 (now its pushed to Q3) and the limited game support (Destiny 2 my fav and non steam games) I decided to take the plunge and go for an alternative handheld.

Couldnt decide, too many options. So I contact Customer Support after hours with a list of games I wanted to play. They got back just after opening hours with a recommendation. I took their word for it and I have no regrets.

Came next day. Happy days! Fairly easy to setup; basic windows installation like with any new PC or fresh install

Been playing Destiny 2, GTAV, No Mans Sky, Project Cars 2, Forza etc no issues at around 60fps.

Sure the resolution and graphic settings are a bit lower than my gaming PC, but on a screen that size with the type of panel, you can't notice!

Plus with eGPU support, you can boost that performance. I'm lucky enough to have kept my 970 as a backup GPU after upgrading to the 2070S a few years ago.

I'm happy as I can game again without going into my home office and not missing out on time with the family.

I would recommend that if you have your games downloaded on your PC, use an external HDD to transfer them over. I transferred over 100gb in 30 mins whereas that would take at least 4-5 hours to download. Shame you cant do the same with MS games, but thats no fault of the device.

I wouldn't recommend for everyone as there is a bit of legwork required to get some games working on this, but when you do it's a great experience.

The console feels incredibly well built and is a bit of a chonky unit. No creaks or movement of any part except the buttons as expected.

What cannot be understated is the quality of the screen on this. I've seen many reviews saying the resolution is wasted but that isn't true with some tweaking you can get games running really well. I have Elden aring running at Max graphics at 1080p at a solid 30fps with turbo mode on. The clarity and colours of the screen are amazing. I was a little worried as I'm an OLED lover but this is the best IPS I've seen. Decent blacks, great colours and minimal backlight bleed.

It never feels hot or warm in the hand and the fan is a manageable volume at full speed, does a super job of kicking the heat out of the top.

The only negative I would say with the device is that it's quite heavy and with smaller hands feels a bit of a reach for the shoulder buttons.

Droix were awesome, super fast DPD delivery, case was a freebie, and they also put in a decent UK power supply (which I actually was going to buy from them at £20!).

Overall great experience. I can't put this thing down.

I don't own a steamdeck, but have had the use of one for a week, this thing while admittedly is much more expensive is just night and day ahead of it. It's worth the extra. More storage, a way better and bigger screen (the screen on the steam deck is relatively poor), a much better quality feeling device, and I'm able to play games in better graphics and resolution. Plus I can easily use games from across all the storefronts, epic, gog, origin etc.
