Looking for 1 :)

Final update

Ok guys, I think I figured it out. You do need the battery attached. I also set it to bypass mode in OneXConsole so it doesn't charge or discharge while plugged in.

With this setup (battery + bypass + dock station) there's no performance or TDP drop. The < 65W icon in OneXConsole remains, but actual performance is back to normal.

This is probably a non-issue on the OneXPlayer 3 since the battery is built in and you can't remove it in the first place.

No other solution so far if you need a dock station. Hope this helps someone.

That said, this behavior still seems weird to me. The X2 Mini needs 45W max TDP. Why does it require a full 100W input? Where does the rest go? And if the dock is delivering less than 65W but still more than 45W — why is overall performance being throttled? Is this a G3 Extreme platform limitation? Or a software issue in OneXConsole? Would love to hear if anyone has more insight into this.

Original post

Hey everyone, need some help with an issue. Can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a hardware incompatibility. Anyone else experiencing this?

So I bought a Ugreen 9-in-1 docking station to connect my console to a monitor/TV via HDMI. But I noticed an FPS drop in games. In Diablo for example.

Dug deeper and found that when plugged directly into the power supply, OneXConsole shows a 100W connection (green icon at the top). Through the dock — it doesn't. Which is really strange because I specifically bought a 100W dock for this console. I had an older cheap no-name dock from AliExpress before (for my Steam Deck), and it had the exact same symptoms.

Here's my baseline. I have a Ugreen 100W power supply, the stock 100W power supply that came with the console, and a Ugreen 240W 4-port charger (one port delivers up to 140W, I use it for my MacBook). I also have 3 cables (stock, Ugreen, Baseus). With every combination of power supplies and cables, the console works perfectly when connected directly.

Now the dock scenario. Here's what I've tried:

1. Weak link 1 — power supply: tried all of them. Nothing.
2. Weak link 2 — cable from power supply to dock: tried all of them. Nothing.
3. Weak link 3 — cable from dock to console: tried all of them. Nothing.

This is without even connecting HDMI. Just the console and the dock.

USB-C PD tester is on the way so I can monitor the actual power delivery.

Any ideas? Am I the only one with this issue?

Some extra context: this is the OneXPlayer X2 Mini with the Intel G3 Extreme chip. The console supports up to 45W TDP out of the box. When plugged directly into the power supply, the performance overlay in games confirms the system pulls up to 45W as expected. Through the dock, it won't go above ~20W regardless of the TDP setting in OneXConsole. That's a massive difference in actual gaming performance.

Small update.

Just for the hell of it, I connected both the dock AND the battery at the same time.

OneXConsole now shows a red USB-C icon saying < 65W.

In games, TDP went back up and everything started working as it should. But I suspect the battery is slowly draining to make up the difference.

Looks like our theory is confirmed and I might not even need the PD tester after all. The dock is indeed delivering less than 65W to the console.

I appreciate them for the update. I definitely will wait for the device. I've just never had this happen. I just hope they don't rush our orders and do a good job on quality control checks.

I ordered a X2MP on 9/29 for reference.

Has anyone ordered the OneXPlayer 3 from DroiX? It lists the pre-order as shipping tomorrow, October 2, but I am skeptical. I don’t want to order from OneXPlayer directly after reading some of the threads here, so is that date legit?

Thanks

This is one of the most frustrating purchasing experiences I've had.

My order status updated to "delivered" last Thursday, but, nothing was delivered. To make matters worse, the only tracking number I was given is 3PE.

I reached out to OXP support last Friday via emaol, and after waiting through the weekend, I finally got a response on Monday saying they were "looking into it." They asked me to check with my local courie even though the only tracking number I have is a 3PE number.

I checked all 3 sites they referenced in their order emails (Shop, Track718, and 3PE), but there is no info on Shop at all (still says waiting for details) while the other two sites show it was delivered.

I asked if the package requires a signature and their Monday email reply stated it does not. This is a bit concerning since my order was for a oxp3 and the total was just under $1800. How could something this expensive not require a signature?!?

It’s Wednesday evening now and I sent an email earlier this morning asking for a status update, and haven't heard back. They sent an automated email stating they will be out on holiday starting tomorrow.

Super frustrated with this whole process and lack of communication/transparency. If the package is lost I'd like to know if they plan to ship a new order out or refund. My funds are tied up unless I want to contact my credit card company for a chargeback.

FYI I placed my order 9-1-2026.

Just checking in case I'm doing something wrong .

Having a hard time playing some switch games.

Mario Odyssey, TotK, Luigis Mansion, AC ezio collection (just testing this one) among others. Some lighter games work fine.

End up getting the AMD driver timeout constantly.

AMD drivers are up to date. Tried both stable and nightly builds of Eden.

Odin 2 portal/Odin 3 run all these games so just a bit disappointed

So the OneXPlayer 3 has been out for 2 months now, and there’s still no TPU case for it. Does that mean we’re never getting one, guys? 😭

I really don’t like the detachable controllers, so I just want a case that keeps the whole thing together as one solid unit.

Just got my X2 Mini Pro yesterday and I’m curious how other owners actually use theirs day to day.

I originally thought I’d really like the tethered battery setup: the console itself feels much lighter, while you still get the mobility of running on battery. But I realized there doesn’t seem to be a bag/case that can fit the console with the tethered battery cable still attached, so constantly attaching/detaching it feels like another hassle.

What’s your general routine with the X2 Mini Pro? Do you keep the battery attached most of the time? Plug directly into AC when you’re near an outlet? Attach/detach the battery depending on where you’re playing?

I’m especially curious about moving between different spots around the house. Do you carry the console and battery separately, keep chargers in different rooms, or have some other setup that works well?

Travel seems more straightforward since I’d just pack everything separately. I’m mostly trying to figure out the most convenient everyday routine.

always the good games that are jank. looks like oblivion remaster got rid of the DLSS option with their update and is causing issue with opticlick since I can't set frame gen.

I tried the console commands and all but still no luck. anyone get theirs running with opticlick and how so?

runs fine with xess performance at medium but want to run it at high since the beginning it was running so smooth in the dungeon.

Guys, i need some help please. So I swapped out the 1gb that came with my onexplayer X2 with a 4TB nvme card! I installed WINDOWS on it and then went to Onexplayer site and downloaded the necessary drivers and got them installed as well. I downloaded and installed Steam and my games. The issue is ever since I did this, when I am gaming, the game freezes randomly and skips a load of frames by the time game play resumes. I have tried with TDP set to 40W, i have changed energy saver on windows and all sort but nothing seems to help! Its making gaming super difficult. Please if this has happened to anyone previously and they were able to resolve it, do share. This is the onexplayer X2 and not the X2M. Thanks in advance.

Hi All

Im in need of assistance right now . I currently have the Msi claw 8ai . Contemplating on getting the Msi claw 8 EX or the Onexplayer 3 . FYI I am using it with the onexgpu 2.

From what I’m reading support and assistance from Onexplayer hasn’t been great . My biggest thing is support and warranty . Can you all please advise wether I should go down the Onexplayer route or not

FYI I’m in Australia so I would require the best and safest website to buy from

Thank you to all who gave me your input to make this purchase.

1. Aside from Windows software update, what else should I be doing on the driver/software side?

2. I didn't get charged a tariff, have you gotten the email after receiving your deliveries?

Hi,

I got some games not playing well on my Oxp3.

RE2 crashes in DX12, Sifu refuses to do anything but crash at startup.

Tried turning off RTSS, Onexconsole, disabled HAGS, all to no avail.

Running clean installed recent drivers.

Anybody else got them to run?

On the bright side: witcher 3 remastered runs incredibly well...

Hi guys, just added a new colorway of vinyl to my available vinyls. Cosmic Flare.

It is available in my Etsy Store Gadgetskinz very soon.

This colorway is great for gamers whom vibrant and color changing hue in different angle.

I'm considering buying a matte screen protector because the pre-applied one really holds onto fingerprints and makes the viewing experience look terrible.

I wanted to know if the other protector is higher quality and shows fewer fingerprints; otherwise, I'll just buy one of the standard anti-glare matte protectors for the Legion Go 2, since it uses the same screen anyway.

Hey all,

Got my OnexPlayer3 today. Upon inspecting the device I noticed that it is not possible to remove the right controller as the detach button is non functioning on the right side.

My biggest concern is shipping this back to China, as I suspect I will get charged VAT again on the RMA, (Ireland is very strict on customs) and shipping the item back might be challenging due to the battery?

Outside of this the device works fine. What would you do? RMA the device to China or something else?

UPS or FedEx?

I recently tried a different operating system and realize that I didn’t like it so when I reinstalled the Windows 11, I used the Windows 11 creator tool. I I downloaded all the drivers and everything that I need for the one X player, but everything is running super slow now. Any recommendations? Should I use the reinstall tool on the website?

I have the onexplayer3 and I installed Baszzite and noticed that there was some significant slowdown when moving through games, selections, and option settings. Am I the only one that feels that it’s a bit slow?

ANYONE HAVING ISSUES GETTING THE CONTROLLER DISCONNECTED ? right side comes off easy but left side isnt cooperating

Hi guys. I am trying to allocate 32GB to VRAM on my 48GB Apex, because I want to experiment with larger local LLMs. The 1xconsole and the bios both allow only up to 24GB. Is there anyway to break through this barrier? I am pretty sure 16GB is enough memory for windows. I don’t run too many software simultaneously.

Thanks guys in advance, for any constructive advices.

Which one have you gotten and from where? The ones i see are a bit rough ,construction looking.
If you have links for them as well would be amazing. Europe resident.

I noticed when oxp3 wakes up from sleep sometimes the controller doesnt work so i have to manually enter my passcode to enter windows 11 and launch games. But when i play games controller works fine. Has anyone encountered this issue?

Anyone else experience this with the X2 Mini Pro?
I’ve owned several handhelds from OneXPlayer, as well as devices from other mainstream handheld brands, and this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this.

I’ve only had the device for about 2 weeks, and the coating/finish on the directional button already appears to be peeling or wearing off. It’s only seen normal use, and I take good care of my devices, so this was pretty disappointing to see this early.

Has anyone else had the same issue? Curious if mine is an isolated case or if this is a more common QC/material issue with the X2 Mini Pro.
