    FYI, you CAN dim the RBG on the sticks (and change the colour). In the pulldown menu hold down your finger on the "ambient light" toggle and it'll open the complete options for the RBG effect.

    Screen bleeding was a legitimate issue. I was one of the first ones to order from Aliexpress. I had to fix mine with the replacement front panel Anbernic sent me. I realized the issue was that there is a metal plate behind the screen where the main board and battery sits. When you tighten the screws this plate puts pressure on the screen. Anbernic's "fix" was to just loosen those screws 😂. I would've liked if they used some small screw washer behind the plate as spacer. I used four tiny silicone o-ring on mine, and it completely fixed the issue.
  • I love how you populate it with the other devices, helps give a sense of scale. Really interested in a comparison with the Retroid 2s and 4. Really struggling to decide between the three.
  • Awesome Video man. You cover soo many aspects that are not discussed in other reviews. The Cube truly looks awesome and im glad to hear that it fits comfortably into a Hoodie pocket,
  • I sadly broke my rg405m recently, so i am planing on replacing it with the cube. I always really like the weirder devices, they make me happy.

    Great vid. Great review. Great mug. But if I hear you call triggers 'trigger buttons' ever again we're not longer friends.

    I proper love the look of it. It’s like a preschool play toy and I’m totally into it.
  • @BoKnowsGaming
    You sold me at the word “chamfered”. I might need one now. 😂

    Nice review! I'm glad to see the knife is back; I can't be the only subscriber who is curious. Maybe you could do a mini review on it?
  • @Veddy74
    Mine should be here soon. I'm going it arrives before my vacation.

    This was one of the vids that sold it to me. It's definitely a bit awkward & won't display everything brilliantly, but I'd rather it does something new that works very well for what it is.

    Are you able to plug the xr glasses directly in or do you need to use an USB-C to HDMI adapter? On the SBCGaming subreddit, someone posted a thread about using Xreal AR glasses with the Cube, but they had to convert the signal to hdmi (and then back again to USB c for the glasses) to get things working. I'd be curious to know if it's as easy as plugging in the glasses for you. Sweet video by the way!

    Probably one of those devices where buying through Amazon would be beneficial since you have the option to return if you have the light bleed issue. However, it is very expensive with some going around $225-230 with some coupons from the sellers.
  • @serrysays
    Have you got a setup guide for the cube in the works? Or is there a guide you could recommend?
  • @solomonkane408
    I just got a rp4p and I’ll be real I still play my 405m I feel like that is the goat imo premium feel , gamma os , pocketable and if you get the grips it’s perfect .
