🔗 Retroid's weird add-on screen is now up for grabs

Transform your Retroid Pocket 5 into a makeshift Nintendo DS.

That weird add-on screen Retroid teased last week is now up for grabs for $69 (nice!) on Retroid's online store.

The spec sheet is as follows:

  • 5.5" AMOLED screen
    • 107% sRGB coverage
    • 100,000:1 contrast ratio
    • 500 nits peak brightness
  • 120/150/180 degree click-stop hinge
  • Supports pass-through charging
  • Dedicated buttons for brightness setting
  • Official device support: RP4Pro, RP Mini, RP MiniV2, RP5
  • Third-party device support: 6"–7" screens with DisplayPort over USB-C
    • Max device height: 115 mm
    • Not compatible with Steam Deck

I have ordered one for myself (use code RDS at checkout for $5 off), and will definitely give this a spin whenever it ships. Expect some thoughts.
