The D-Pads have been revised just before last minute launch of their first batch. Judging from your demo'ing, it looks like Ayaneo fixed the diagonal issue.
I would love to see a teardown video by someone. Im planning on CNCing an aluminum backplate and throwing in some thermal pads to better dissipate heat. Maybe even vent it more too.
Nice looking handheld. I was actually a little surprised by how big it was - it's thin, of course, but it's still quite a slab. It'll be interesting to see how scaling up PS2 games to 1440P will look compared to scaling up to 1080P on the Odin 2 - will it be very noticeable on that screen size? I think I'm going to go for the Odin 2 Mini myself ... I'm not sure I can resist having something with the power of the Odin but the form factor of a PS Vita *and* with the brightness to actually game outside.
They both have their pros and cons. They are similarly priced. This has a 6 inch screen vs the 5 inch of the mini. But the mini has a very bright mini led display meanwhile this has a ips lcd display.
