  • Let's take a look at the two best alternative docks to the official one for the AYN Odin 2. Should you opt for the pricier AYANEO Multistation Dock, or is the more budget-friendly Skull and Co Jumpgate Dock a better choice?

    I've also been thinking of getting the skull&Co dock as well since the original Odin2 dock would be too expensive with shipping... Looks like a great alternative! Thanks for the video!

      I have the support dock from Ayn. Doesn't work at all with 2.4ghz controllers. Getting the Skull&Co dock instead.

    Making ideas for getting the Ayn Odin 2 Max and Ayn Loki Max for these kinds of docks would be awesome to game at home and on the go. Great work.

    • @KeiRetroGaming
      @KeiRetroGaming  6 місяців тому

      I wouldn't recommend the Odin 2 Max since 16gb of RAM is completely overkill. Go for the pro model and save yourself some money. Having those two devices is a nice combo though!

    • @KeiRetroGaming
      @KeiRetroGaming  6 місяців тому

      Big decision to make for sure but I think both are gonna be great handhelds either way. I'll get my RP4 Pro today so I'm excited to see what it's capable of.

    Waiting for your Retroid Pocket 4 Pro test video with the docks. And maybe the full review. Mine won't get here until a long time.

      My RP4 Pro is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so I'm hoping to have a few videos up on it in the coming week. Retroid seems to be on track with this release, so yours should hopefully arrive sooner rather than later as well.

      Yep. I talked about it in the dock section on the RP4 Pro review. Both work but the one fits the 4 pro better with less of a gap:

    do either of these work with the AYN tpu case? my Odin is a never-nude, in that I never take the case off, but I still want some kind of dock for console moding. great video!

    Would be great if you can review some wireless controller option for the Odin 2 🙏

    • @devingorney8051
      @devingorney8051 5 місяців тому +1

      Easiest option is ps4/xbox360. Any ps4/xbox360 compatible controller should work. If you have one laying around connect it via Bluetooth and have fun BUT when playing on TV the “controller type” reverses. So if you had PS style X button to confirm in handheld it will become “O” to confirm on the TV and you must manually change it in Odin Settings. You’ll also have to map all your emulator inputs a second time for the new controller. And some emulators have actions that are touch screen only and difficult or impossible to map to a wireless controller. It’s really meant to be a handheld more than a switch style do everything console. Super sweet nevertheless. Been playing near non stop since Christmas. Ps2 and GameCube have been flawless.

    My secondary market switch power supply (that works with my switch dock) doesn't seem to give enough power to my Skull&Co jumpgate. What do you recommend for power?

      @KeiRetroGaming  5 місяців тому

      Any decent 65w charger or faster should work fine. I wouldn't recommend using a switch charger on anything other than the switch.

      For what it's worth I don't regret spending the $80. I've used it on many handhelds and it's built very well as I mentioned in the video.

    The docks all have the same design flaw. You have to design a dock that aligns the console exactly to where the usb nub is, otherwise you will scratch it to hell.

      No I still think it has issues. Sometimes it works but it really depends on the controller. Bluetooth is easiest.

      I personally wouldn't trust anything for a switch when it comes to charging unless it was built by Nintendo. 3rd party chargers/docks can brick a switch.

      No, the Loki would be upside down on the dock since it only has a USB port up top. The dock itself is very narrow so there's not enough room for the Loki.
