What's the downside? This almost looks too good. I don't like the battery size but this is hitting almost every other desire-list checkbox. I love the prospect of having touchpad options, and that 6-button panel is such a great idea.

Maybe the button-swap panels will feel weirdly loose over time? Can it run SteamOS?

Uhh, price?

Ayaneo have always struggled with steam os integration, but it probably will have a Bazzite variant.

I don't see why you'd spend $900 on this when you could get a better handheld for that money but I'll give them this, the swappable joystick/button thing is cool.
