Update: after publishing this video, I’ve received feedback from the AYANEO team that they have watched the video and are working on some of the issues raised in it. In particular, they noted that the d-pad will be re-assessed, the back cover material is still in development, the heat distribution will be further optimized, and their software suite will take into consideration my suggestions. They will also reach out to the open-source driver developers to provide test units and coordination. I’m happy to hear that there is a far enough window that they can tackle these improvements before final production, which is a rare thing in this community.
This was an early prototype unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own and no money was exchanged in any way.
