The layout of the RG351M is perfect for both small and large hands, we found our fingers naturally rest on all four shoulder buttons without stress like the PocketGo S30. The weight gives it value, and adds to the button feedback when playing games. We knew what to expect when we reviewed the RG351P but after not playing around with a metal handheld for a few months, it really does make you realise how better the metal shell feels compared to plastic. In fact, everything is identical to the RG351P apart from the metal shell and built in wifi module which allows you to remotely organise your files from a PC instead of putting your SD card into it manually. On the right another analogue stick and your ABXY buttons which are identical to that of the RG351P.

This stops snagging when taking it in and out of your pocket.

The great things about these analogue sticks is that they dip into the handheld slightly, making it flush with the buttons and making it far more portable. On the left of the screen yu have your analogue stick which is identical to that of the Nintendo Switch and your DPAD which is large and chunky enough to play fighting games organically. The screen also has a high quality glass screen over the top, something cheaper retro handhelds don’t have. Its 2x scaling has a very natural feel and when playing the likes of Pokemon Fire Red, it actually looks better than it would on a modded IPS GBA SP. This is mandatory for a retro handheld of this size and many will use it to play the best Gameboy Advance games.
