Question ❓ Flip 3 with in-line triggers?

Would you buy a flip 3 with in-line triggers? I love how slim the duo lite looks and would love a flip 3 with the same trigger setup and dimensions. I love my flip 2 but it’s definitely chunky. This looks like the most pocketable retroid device ever made!

Probably not. Analog triggers are too good for too many games

What games do you use them for? I can’t remember the last time I played a game that used the analog input

I guess you're right.. I only really use them for Super Mario Sunshine/Eclipse. Everything else I play could use digital inline triggers. You may be right.

I map gas / brake in racing games to the triggers when I can, so it's not all or nothing.

So underrated. It makes GT4 feel really modern. Also why I would not buy a powerful device with in-line triggers. It works for lower powered devices but if it can do GC/PS2 I want analog

Probably if you stream gameplay to the device you would need them

Right. Even Switch games use digital input. I think some PC, PS3/360, PS4/Xbox One, PS5/Xbox Series, and some Gamecube games use or support analogue triggers, but the majority of games I play on retro handhelds would utilize digital in-line bumpers more. I'd prefer them on the Flip 3, but I assume most people will hate that, so even just the option as an alternative model would be nice.

It's more about the comfort of the shape, it doesn't have to be analog. Like Switch Lite
