The SJGAM M21 is now available through multiple resellers. Unashamedly a copycat of the Game Console R36S and the Powkiddy RGB20S, the SJGAM M21 has a saving grace in the form of a mini HDMI port. Not only that, but the SJGAM M21 is also available for as little as $30 worldwide.
And I’ve started avoiding thumb sticks in portables because my old retro controllers with (non-hall effect) thumb sticks now have so much control drift that the D-pad is also unusable.
(While my retro controllers and systems that just had D-pads are still fine.)
With something like a Deck you can at least swap them.
I feel for more retro oriented stuff I’d prefer some sort of gamepad attachment for phones. If that breaks or wears out at least I don’t have to replace the whole device.

Damn that looks uncomfortable to hold. Still, interesting device. So far I don’t need retro gaming in portable but it’s a neat idea.
retro gaming seems like the best fit for portable due to low power usage.
The thumbsticks look downright unusable.
Yeah.
