Another point towards the RP5 is that Anbernic had the opportunity to put on some improved sticks on the 557 up from the 556 but they didn't. It was such a weird choice. The shape is so comfy from an ergonomic perspective but I really didn't enjoy playing thumbstick-focused games on those tiny little sticks when I had the 556.
Don't get me wrong, the sticks themselves are a big improvement on the 557 compared to the 556. They no longer have that bad cardinal snapping but, on a device so focused on ergonomics, the tiny sticks hold it back quite a bit.
And yes, the RP5 has small sticks too but they're just better overall sticks. Comfier to use.
That being said, if you are wanting to play thumbstick-focused games, then an additional grip attachment is almost essential on the RP5 thanks to the lower left thumbstick placement. So you'll need to factor a grip into your price if you're buying the RP5. But the official grips can be found really cheap on AliExpress.
