I backed the GPD WIN on Indiegogo and six months later it's actually kind of cool

I’m an Indiegogo backer. There’s a lot of story behind this thing, and I’ll get into it properly some other time.

- Build quality is better than the JD.com version once it actually arrives.
- Performance is way better than I expected — plenty of games run, provided you use Steam Big Picture mode.
- The dual-stick mouse mode is weirdly great once you get used to it. I figure the touchscreen is mostly unnecessary now.
- The resolution is too low, which sucks. A lot of eroge can’t go fullscreen because the resolution is some bizarre number nothing supports.
- Stick support in shooters mostly comes down to XInput, since this thing emulates an Xbox pad anyway.
- Battery life is obviously not going to survive big titles. I played Medal of Honor 2010 for a bit and the remaining time dropped to two hours.
- Full keyboard is a plus. Better to have it than not.
- It’s very portable. Credit where it’s due.

Longer complaints later, maybe a video, maybe a post.
