What are some of the worst handhelds you have bought or saw?

[Fevirre]

I'll go first, Anbernic has alot of bad systems all mostly running the same processor that is similar to a snapdragon SoC from 2016
they claim it can game up to 3ds which can't even go up to 10fps
ah they have a windows handheld too which can't play cemu at the same framerate too which again around 10fps on MK8

Anbernic isn't all so bad, the RG35XX is much better over the latter.

I really wanted to try out a Virtual Boy, I can't say whether it is a bad experience or not. But from what I've heard from people, they've said that it gave them eye strain and headaches.

Bought this handheld a few days ago feom Ebay. Listing said it is from some company I have never heard of called Mirror. Bloody thing refuses to load a single game. Only thing that will display on the screen is a picture of this sexy as fuck Scottish looking woman whoever she is. Hope I can get my money back.

Here is a picture of the handheld.

anbernic revo k101 plus because of severe scrolling stutter

Same goes for rg35xx plus/ h with stock os and 2024 firmware, old 2023 firmware on rg35xx + and rg35xx (without plus) are not affected.
In the menu you can see the wrong refreshrate is set (65Hz, for example), they have also removed shader support with newer firmware.
