The hardware quality is actually decent. The software support isn’t unless you get the pi version. I’ve owned two. First, the A04 and then the R-01. I actually used the A04 frequently, until I bought a SteamDeck. I’ve since sold it. I would use the R01 more if the HDMI out worked.

Clockwork will ship, it takes them some time. The software support isn’t great, and the community does a lot of the heavy lifting.
