The d pad is terrible and the shoulder buttons too. They should fire everyone who approved this handheld or worked on it. Pricing is insulting for the quality and performance. People saying software will get better are just coping and spreading false hope. The ally was not this bad on launch. Also software can’t fix hardware downfalls. People are ignoring the fact that the buttons suck and so many other issues. They need better hardware advisors and beta testers. If they’d had better consultants who actually play a wider range of games and have a wider range of handheld experience they’d have done better. They also gaslit people in an msi live event who said they had performance issues. They blamed it on the users. As reviewers we need to be honest so they can do better. All those KZitemrs who say everything’s the best are the reason stuff just gets worse. They are lying to us and the manufactures listen to KZitemrs. So if people aren’t honest, they won’t ever improve.

I may have “lied” about keeping the Claw, but I try to be 100% honest with all my thoughts. I really tried to justify keeping the Claw just for science but I really couldn’t justify especially after getting a replacement that’s still trash.

I just took it out the box, I held it.... I haven't opened it again since and my return window is closing. It felt so off. At least if the device, the quality felt good... Nope. I think that might be as far as it gets for me with the MSI Claw.

If the desktop Arcs are a y indication, the drivers for the GPU will improve. However, there are no excuses for a bad d-pad on a handheld device, especially with retro gaming being so popular. vibration is obviously an issue for force feedback games. The bumpers are very important for souls like games. I see the claw as a prototype of sorts. Not worth the asking price, but I am hopeful it will get better in the near future.

I feel you. I am very optimistic as well, but *why are you hopeful?* I’m actually disappointed. Why did they not look at the best parts of the devices that came out before and implement those improvements? If this was the first handheld PC to ever exist then maybe I’d give them a pass, but there’s been dozens released over the last few years. This device has no excuse for being this bad because it could’ve taken notes from the competition. I hear a lot of people saying it will get better, but 9/10 of those people didn’t even buy the Claw.

@@bjf9304intel probably gave MSI some stock to go with them instead of AMD. 😅 But jokes aside I’m not sure who thought the Claw was ready to release especially at $800. If it was $499 then maybe I would be more forgiving. It’s like they didn’t fully test the device during the process of creating it. Or maybe they did test it and didn’t care enough to address the issues. 🤷🏽♂️

I do not give them a pass for being their first handheld because other handhelds have been out for years and they didn’t take any notes from them to release a product worth $800. Of course the next version could be better, but this one doesn’t deserve your money.

I’m usually optimistic, but in this case I highly doubt that. Plus even if performance and software gets better that won’t fix the hardware issues. And does that mean no one should buy the claw until 6mo from now?

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not just some hater or a KZitemr who makes content just for views. I just honestly can justify or even recommend the Claw to anyone right now. It’s not worth the money if you gotta wait 6mo just with the hope that it will be decent.

But even still, I think the Claw is garbage (sorry not sorry) from a hardware standpoint even if performance improves. More fps won’t fix the bumpers that feel HORRIBLE to press or the vibration that feels broken, or the joystick issues. 🤷🏽♂️

@@BarelyAverageDude Yeah, the consensus seems to be that nothing can be done to help the Claw. There are a few games that get a huge bump but they just seem to be games that had worse than normal performance to begin with. On average the performance bump looks to be about 20-30% according to sites like Tom's Hardware

I don't think he "lied" to be deceitful, I think after giving it some thought he realized he couldn't justify keeping it anymore for the reasons he outlined in the vid and simply just changed his mind and just used the word "lied" for dramatic effect.

It's still junk. It's still nowhere near the performance of AMD based competitors like the Asus ROG ally and Lenovo Legion Go.
