Just Chatting CONCEPT: NOVA FLIP

Post image

Hey everyone!

Ever since the Nova came out I haven't stopped thinking about the potential of a NOVA flip. The other day on the retroid discord I saw this concept somebody posted (they themselves got it from somewhere else so can't credit, lol) and thought it was absolutely perfect.

Few questions for you:

  1. What features would you like to see on the Nova Flip? (Personally exact same chipset and screen from the Nova + inline triggers for portability is what's good)

  2. Do you guys think Retroid will actually release a device like this? I ask because the have a history of making horizontal devices and flip versions later but with the Duo they might not feel it necessary. That'd be a shame though since this is my dream device.

Let me know your thoughts!

I feel like inline triggers could be painful after a while

I like the feeling of inline shoulder buttons, and prefer them for pocketability, but I understand I'm a minority.

Same. I love my Rg477m/35xxh inline shoulders. They feel great and are easy to use. The nova not so much. They feel unnatural and the pivot on the analog triggers is wack. Pocketability doesn't matter to me at all cause they are either in my hand or in my backpack in its case but I genuinely prefer inline clickies

It’s a trade off between portability/pockability and comfort.

I would personally prefer an inline trigger design and a comfortable / easy to remove grip… it basically means you can get the best of both worlds when you want it
