I only have three but I like my collection. I think any more than 4 handhelds would overwhelm me fast.

I have an Analogue Pocket and an AYN Thor. I'm pretty much set.

My setup is steam deck, ayn Thor, ps vita, and rg35xx sp (soon to be replaced by the rg sp) and that covers all my gaming needs.

I have an AYN Thor Pro and it honestly feels like an end game handheld for me. I think it'll be a few years before I'll feel justified in getting another high end emulation device. <br><br>One thing people under-sell is the comfort of the sticks. They're a lot better than I expected. I'm playing NFS Underground at the moment on mine and I don't feel like its impacting my driving performance at all.

I would keep the Thor, Pocket DMG, the RG476H, The Brick Hammer, and the Miyoo Mini Flip! I might be inclined to keep the RP5 instead of the flip for the psp form factor though 😂

Not a handheld but a 8" tablet with a telescopic controller is pretty great for couch gaming.

I don't have a huge collection, or budget for that matter, but I think my top 2 that I always use is the Steam Deck for when I'm at home or in a hotel or generally not traveling. The second and personal favourite is the RG CUBE. The 1:1 display and ergonomics is perfect for retro systems, its comfy for long sessions and having Android means you can use it for other things too. Its very pocketable but the sticks stick out a bit so I tend to use a case on it.

Great list. I've settled on the miyoo mini plus for retro grab n go. Thor for higher end emulation, and the GPD WinMini for pc on the go or the couch. I'd probably swap out the miyoo for the Nova, and would like to add the ally x20 when it comes out for the full size sticks and oled screen though.

For me it is probably the regular miyoo flip, the miniloong pocket 1 and the Odin 3. Plus a Windows/steamos handheld for those AAA games.
