Panic Playdate In-Depth Review

The ergonomics of this device just seem to bite it. Yeah it looks nice, but it's not easy to hold and crank and do other things. So many reviewers seem to touch on it being uncomfortable, this one included.

I'm the target audience for this device, and this is the most important point I'm taking from the reviews.

I think the console might be too small for crank + buttons usage. If it'd be bigger, it could probably rest comfortably in the palm. In it's current form you'd probably need to have it rest on your pinky slightly elevating it up to use the dpad with the thumb.
