Probably. I don’t own one of these but the Genesis controller layout is awkward for playing many Nintendo games.

That’s pretty brilliant, reminds me of the old school Nokia phones that had a split qwerty keyboard and the display in the middle.

These are used mostly for playing retro games through emulators.

Yeah that’s the one I was thinking about, thanks!

A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
