I know this isn't the slam-dunk deal we saw back on 11/1-11/2 for $119-$122 after the PayPal $20 discount, ($129 after tax) but this is still a great price for a great upper-midrange handheld. If you get the $20 off PayPal discount here, it should be ~$144 before tax, which is still great. You may need to make the purchase around 12:00EST to get one of those discounts, as they reload the available supply each evening. I'd recommend checking in periodically, as I saw the discounts become available well before midnight at like 8-9PM EST.

I just received mine from Coopreme a few days ago, and it's a 12GB model with a 120hz screen. You have to use the PULSE app to enable that 120hz mode, but it's easy enough to do: https://github.com/keiretrogaming/pulse

I'm blown away by how good the RP5 still is in late 2026. With the new Turnip-Z driver, it can handle a majority of Switch games. https://github.com/AlexSanz0902/t...z/releases

It's even running Mario Galaxy better than my Konkr Pocket Fit G3 did with Mr Purple drivers. I couldn't get a stable framerate in the desert town with that handheld for some reason, dropping down to 15-30fps. My RP5 breezes through it at 50-60fps, which shocked me. I'm sure that was a compatibility issue, but the SD865 has such wide support from the community, it's really hard to beat for the price.

A backup $32 coupon if the USAFF32 coupon doesn't work is CROWN32.

Also, previously the ~$120 deal was only for the black model. That one is sold out, and this discount applies to the remaining 3 colors; Turquoise, Purple and Grey/16-Bit, which is nice if you like those colors.

Edit: I think it's important to note these have been shipping from inside the US, from an LA warehouse. I ordered Sunday, November 1st, and received it Sunday November 8th. I live in the Midwest. This seems to be a fairly standard delivery schedule for me for GoFo packages coming in from California. Much faster than waiting for shipments from China, and none of the concerns over potential seizure at customs, or tariffs.

Shoutout for calling out the Turnip-Z drivers. I'm still on MrPurple and this reminded me to look for updated drivers for my Odin 2 Portal

Got two for my kids on the earlier deal. They arrived super fast, like 3 days after ordering. The new Turnip Z 0.3.0 driver has these things playing almost every switch game I throw at them. They have slow performance while shaders compile but then most games are buttery smooth, and fully playable

If I have a modded switch, would this still be worth picking up? I know switch can run android and I'm tech savvy enough to do it if I read the instructions. I just don't know if the switch running android would be as powerful as this.

If you're interested in also emulating PS2, Gamecube, and anything older than that, yes. When the Switch is modded and running the same emulators as the RP5, the RP5 generally outperforms, especially with modern drivers like Turnip Z.

You'll find the RP5 is quite a bit smaller than the original and OLED Switch, with a 5.5" screen size like the Switch Lite, but slightly more compact. The OLED screen on the RP5 is very nice.

I had my doubts when I watched RyanRetro's video review of the driver, where he found a dramatic improvement with Switch. I found it worked well with PC emulation with Megabonk, but haven't gotten to test much more just yet.

The driver is legit. I couldn't see any visual downgrade vs Mr Purple drivers either. It feels like sorcery how well it runs on this aging chipset. I had very good framerates with BotW, and Mario Odyssey ran shockingly well. I still need to test TotK as the real heavy hitter, but I'm seeing very playable framerates with everything so far. All Switch games may now playable on the RP5 with Turnip-Z.

I just got mine from the last time this was posted.
Mine was shipped from the US, and I ended up getting one with 12gb ram and a 120hz screen.

I am seriously blown away by this thing. Ps2, gamecube, 3ds, all work incredibly well.

I just installed the pokemon fulldex emulator, which converts the ds pokemon games into a single-screen game. What a time to be alive.

Even if it weren't, wouldn't you be concerned about those abysmal joycons breaking? Retroid Pocket 5 has hall effect sticks - joysticks should outcast many other components on the system.

That said, why they built a device this powerful as a d-pad centric device is beyond me. Even with the grip it gets uncomfortable after awhile.

I tend to agree. If you play a stick-centric game more than 30-60 minutes, it's awkward and not ideal. There are TPU grips it can be inserted into that dramatically help. I have one on order from Aliexpress, along with a soft case.

good things come to those who wait. BF is coming soon so good chance we will see that $120 price again. If you buy now, they win. buy later, we all win.

My apologies for the stupid question but I've never had one of these. Do they come with the games ? Do you have to choose what you want to be emulated like ps2 or anything else? I'd love to play some of the old games but I'm not sure if I'll be able to set it up
