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.

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
