Almost at 10k! Keep doing great work Vlad! Playing tiger woods 03 on my RG 406V lately and loving it. Such great precision with these thumb sticks, I'm way better now than with the OG controller. Watching the rest of the video hoping it wins!
Out of this list I have the 406V, V10 and TrimUI Brick. I totally like all three! Also, I like the B20SX, 405V, 280V, 351V. and V90. All 8 are the verticals I have within my collection as well as being my most favorite vertical handhelds.
My favourite current vertical handheld is my R36S, so good I bought a second.my favourite horizontal would be a toss up between my TrimUI Smart Pro and PowKiddy X55, both great machines. First purchase of 2025 will be a TrimUI Brick. Happy New year and best of luck on your subscriptions 😁👍🤞
Had my Rg35xxsp for about a week now, i installed Muos on it and i love it!!! I barely play on my other devices now, the form factor is comfortable and nostalgic as someone who had an Sp as a kid.
Damn, i loved this video man. The music, the funny jokes, the praising of the miyoo 😂. Thank you for making me laugh, you gained a subscriber for sure.
100% agree with the TrimUI Bricks stiff dpad. I hated this device until I followed a Reddit users advice and replaced the membrane with that of a New DS - EDIT: “New 3DS”. It feels much lighter and closer to a retro dpad I prefer, and now it’s my favorite vertical.
Having your video as background information, since i'm looking for a vertical handheld.....still not convinced, Anbernic 40xxv which will be no better spec'd than my Powkiddy X55, apart from the screen size or make the Android step with eg. the Anbernic RG405v/406v, both much more capable and much more hurtfull for the wallet ;) ....but that aside, despite having you on the background on a second monitor, the ending of your video made me smile and even wave to my monitor....thanks !
@7:23 This is not GBA integer scale. The rg35xxSP is a 640x480 screen. GBA integer scale would be 2.5" at 2x resolution. What you showed is 2.7x resolution at 3.4", with a custom GBSP bezel overlay. I use the "Perfect overlays" for 640x480 screens with a Sharp-Shimmerless-Shader or Sharp-Bilinear-2x-Prescale shader. This makes the image look more crisp even for systems that does not have integer scaling to fill the 3.5" screen.
Thanks Vlad. I am currently in process of slimming down my handheld collection while waiting for the Trimui Brick to arrive. For more practical use cases I plan to rid of my XX line of devices, RGB30 and my Miyoo Mini and plus. If the Brick is good enough my core 4 lineup will be my Steamdeck OLED, Odin 2 Pro, RP4 Pro and the Trimui Brick. The way I see it, it’s great to have a collection but the reality is not having time to use all of them. They are all great devices.
I bought 6 different handhelds(40xxV,35xxsp, 35xx plus, powkiddy 10x, powkiddy 20sx.) ones in 2 months and the funny thing is, the powkiddy v10 is my favorite somehow haha. Especially for cheap advance gaming and it looks and feels great , I play hours with this thing and the hotkeys are easy haha😍. Nice video again!!! Love watching you! (Ps I have small hands hahaha)
I don’t see myself getting a 406v anytime soon, or at all, but I like your reasoning on why you picked your top consoles. Also, I totally agree the Miyoo mini plus is awesome. I own 4 and am rarely without one on me.
I feel like the miyoo flip might have actually found success and wouldn't have been so disliked, if it would have actually released before this one, flaws and all.
I love the PowKiddy V10, it's SUPER comfortable to hold, the D-Pad and front buttons are amazing and I love the way it looks (I love GBA games but the GBA itself looked ugly AF and had a super small D-Pad). And I love the bezels BTW. What I don't like about the V10 is Emulation Station, and the shortcuts are a little bit confusing at first (I still think they can be customized somehow but never tried). The RG40XXV is one of the most comfortable devices ever (especially with a silicone case), it just lacks stereo speakers. The MM+ is outdated AF, the RG35XX+ with MuOS is the way to go (way more powerful, bigger battery and way better ergonomics). I haven't tried the og MM but I ordered a RG28XX 2 days ago because although I'm a vertical person, I don't think vertical is gonna be comfortable in such a small range.
I always felt the V10 was out of place in my collection (as in other devices would to most of its best features better), and every time I decided to use it I really, really enjoyed my time with it. It is certainly a GBA machine, but honestly for the price is a pretty great one! I hope they release an improved version with wifi included though.
Hi Vlad, great content as always ❤ I know that this isn't related to your usual content but I want to know your thoughts on this new mcon controller for mobile phones. Before getting a retro handheld I do most of my retro gaming on my phone using touch controls since I find it a hassle to bring a wireless controller with me everyday.
For my use case, the 35-SP has replaced my Miyoo as my pocket device. The Miyoo has earned it's place to be displayed proudly on the shelf, but the 35xx SP will live in the pocket
They all seem like good value compared to the original devices we played growing up. For me it’s clear the RG406V for $125.72 shipped (Black Friday) is the best option for me at this point. Combination of its capability and performance and comfort for the cost being a priority for me. A bit more than 2x the price of 40XXv but I shouldn’t have to buy another device to play a majority of GameCube or ps2. Otherwise I’d be happy with Miyoo Mini+ to play through ps1 for $28 shipped on Black Friday which I purchased to gift a friend
I sold my Miyoo mini plus because I thought the d pad was too mushy. I'm also a bigger fan of horizontal overall. I do have the rg406v though and love it
I agree that the 406V is a great vertical handheld, and probably overall is the best of the year in terms of quality and performance without breaking the bank on a pocket dmg. In saying that, imo that price point is too high for t820 level devices. The only word that really fits is underwhelming. I found myself spending more time tweaking than actually playing and enjoying games on it. Retroid running 865's at 199 and 219 price point, anbernic running t820 at 165 - 185 pricepoint. It's not much more for a retroid, and you get alot more performance per dollar value. Smartphone and controller I got for $280 outclasses both, and for just a little more at $300+shipping the odin 2 thoroughly outclasses everything except for some ultra expensive ayaneo devices. If AYN made an Odin vertical, or retroid an rp5v this conversation would be very different.
I have all of these besides the brick, the SP, and the 406V. The powkiddy v10 is honestly probably my second favourite behind the 40xxv, even including my other handhelds. It's just so great for gba. It has many quirks, and it's ugly, but for the price and for how good it is at gba, I can't help but be really fond of it. It tickles my 'oh my god, it's so goofy' bone, while at the same time being quite competent. It's kind of like owning a Pug. I plan to get a 34xx and use that for action games, but i'll still be playing all gba rpgs on my powkiddy v10 so I can 1 hand it.
If you have to break it down by favorite couch handheld and favorite on the go daily pocket rider which would you choose?? I think for me its the RP5 for couch, and Miyoo A30 for pocket. With the 35XXSP being a good middle ground that works well for both (depending on the system I wanna play).
Good options you picked there! I see you chose horizontals, so I'm gonna answer with that in mind: The Retroid Pocket 5 / RG406H Are both amazing. The H is a bit of boat worlds, easy to carry around as well. For way more pocketability though, the RG40XX H is a really good jack of all trades!
Yea the Miyoo prob still the best feel but just wish is was longer. Yea non are perfect. The 40xxv is nice but flawed. Need to try the SP one. The Brick is fantastic but wish was a bit bigger. Smalls cool and portable but not ideal for bigger hands or longer fingers. Wish comeone would just make a GBC shape 1 for 1 but atleast as powerful as h700 or similar.
Hey nerds! Question for you all. I started on handheld with the OG 35xx and garlicos. For me it was absolutely perfect, hardware software hdmi out. I got a 35xxh when I broke my screen. Idk if it's the form factor or mu os, but I rarely play it any more. In your opinion, does the miyoo plus scratch the itch (and is onion more or less the same as garlic with speed, sleep, etc.), or am I better off replacing my screen on the og 35xx?
I have the Miyoo mini plus and the TrimUI brick. Both are very good handhelds and to be honest can't say which one is better, at the same time they're different in so many aspects. TrimUI has a stiff clicky dpad and buttons, and as Vlad I also prefer mushy buttons like on the Miyoo... But hear me out! In my deep comparison tests I was playing better with the stiff controls, I felt more in control, my reaction time was lower and diagonals were on point all the time. Yeah my fingers were more tired, feel of smaller sharper TrimUI dpad wasn't that lovely, but in the gameplay I achieved much more than on a mushy Miyoo Mini Plus. Another thing where the TrimUI wins is the screen. Because of high resolution shaders looked way better. A powerful CPU definitely helps in that regard. Ah and also TrimUI Brick has a more colorful screen in my opinion. Miyoo mini plus deserve all the praise, mushy soft controls are comfortable and reminds a retro controller, Onion OS is a flawless system, and screen to body ratio is perfect. Also I owned the Miyoo mini (non plus), it died. While it is a good toy and an eye candy, I can't see myself playing this thing. It's too small and uncomfortable. In my opinion TrimUI Brick is a perfect substitution for it. And I've played the Anbernic RG405v, prev iteration of another handheld that was praised in this video. To be honest I didn't enjoyed it at all. The controls were meh, the dpad were too clicky and unwieldy, sticks and modern titles seemed to be better placed on the horizontal form factor. And it looked ugly!
My favorite is Miyoo mini plus and RG35XX-H are both good handheld. However miyoo mini plus is issues monitor because screen isn't stronger brighter from sunlight about hard to see screen when i play. Expect RG35XX-H is good for outside about i can see screen brightness better from sunlight
What would you recommend for a first retro handheld . . My modded psp vita about had it and looking for a upgrade to a retro handheld and any recommendations would be appreciated it . . Thank you
I'd you're coming from the Vita, then I guess the Retroid Pocket 5 Pro would fill that role nicely. Also check out the Ambernic RG406H! (link in the description)
Brick just didn't click with me. Buttons are too loud for my taste (all of them), had to disconnect battery after just 3 hours of playing because it.. well.. bricked lol 😅 Then had to run sd recovery software and reinstall minui again. Idk, I still think Miyoo Mini /Plus is the best of all. Never had any problem with them and I have a few.
I love the screen and Onion OS on the Miyoo Mini Plus but its hard to recommend it to anyone with hands even slightly above average size because im with slightly bigger hands and the Miyoo Mini Plus has terrible ergonomics and the triggers are hard to get used to at least for me. To be honest i wouldnt recommend Vertical handhelds to anyone with bigger hands :D For now im daily driving a Powkiddy RGB30 and i like it and i dont think i will change it soon because i only play NES SNES GBA type of games and it is really good for that. Of course it has flaws but the screen is nice and it fits ok in my hands and Rocknix has been solid for me.
LOL Don't let these nerds and their "angry nerd" opinions get you down, Vlad. There's always some neck-bearded nerd out there who has something negative to say about everything.
Nah, I disagree with this. Miyoo Mini is overrated with very bad screen quality compared to competition. TrimUi Brick is the DEFINITIVE choice for the vertical pocketable handheld, it's simply top 1 right now. Heck its screen is even brighter and more color accurate then my expensive Odin 2, its an insane deal. I have owned all those handhelds and more, and there is no debate. Miyoo Mini is not king anymore. The ultimate 3 handheld combo for me is : TrimUi Brick, for best pocketable small vertical RG34XX - Best GBA retro 3:2 handheld Ayn Odin 2 - Best overall emulator, for all harder to emulate consoles. (And also amazing 4x+ PSP emulation) Having these 3 I dont need any other handheld....probably ever.
I agree with you about the miyoo mini. It's insane that I get nostalgic about it already 🤣 it's still insanely cute, and is an awesome starter device, but yeah the Brick is just better. Just the shoulder buttons alone on the miyoo mini are enough to put it lower than #1
The Brick has terrible buttons for the systems being played, is too big for such a small screen, and it doesn’t have Onion OS. The Miyoo devices have the correct button feel, Onion OS (on the Mini/+), better form factor, and look better. The Brick is a knockoff Analogue Pocket design and that design also isn’t good. I own all of these.
Do me a favor and please *LIKE* and *SUBSCRIBE*. The channel is small, and this really goes a long way. Thanks, my nerd. ❤
Liked and subscribed! Ordered my 406v last week after binging many of your videos. Thank you 👍
The Miyoo Mini and Plus are the GOAT. I can't argue with you on that one Vlad. For me, also the RG35XX Plus is also a real close second or third.
For me it's the 40XXV.
The clean design and ... THAT SCREEN ! *chef's kiss*
Oh yes. Rightly said.. That screen is simply majestic..
Two verticals hug it out, ended up horizontal and a short while later, a nerd was born.
That's usually how it happens. Also with soft jazz music in the background.
Almost at 10k! Keep doing great work Vlad! Playing tiger woods 03 on my RG 406V lately and loving it. Such great precision with these thumb sticks, I'm way better now than with the OG controller. Watching the rest of the video hoping it wins!
Not gonna give spoilers, but I think you'll be pleased with the shortlist of handhelds. 🍻

Right on time, Vlad. Happy New Year! It's like you picked my brain. I want a vertical to sit with my Steam Deck and Retroid Pocket 2S.
I was just hanging out there, with your other thoughts. Decided to make a video on this one. 😆
Had my Rg35xxsp for about a week now, i installed Muos on it and i love it!!! I barely play on my other devices now, the form factor is comfortable and nostalgic as someone who had an Sp as a kid.
Ever since the RG34XX came out, the powkiddy v10 has been my shelf queen😂
Is the 34XX really good? I like it, but I think it’s a bit phat and it seems the screen is not bright enough.
This video is for me. Thanks Vlad my lad. Class act as always man.
Welcome back, my friend! ❤️
@VladNerd Dad's doing better.
Damn, i loved this video man. The music, the funny jokes, the praising of the miyoo 😂. Thank you for making me laugh, you gained a subscriber for sure.
100% agree with the TrimUI Bricks stiff dpad. I hated this device until I followed a Reddit users advice and replaced the membrane with that of a New DS - EDIT: “New 3DS”. It feels much lighter and closer to a retro dpad I prefer, and now it’s my favorite vertical.
Did you replace it with the new DS or new 3ds membrane?
Having your video as background information, since i'm looking for a vertical handheld.....still not convinced, Anbernic 40xxv which will be no better spec'd than my Powkiddy X55, apart from the screen size or make the Android step with eg. the Anbernic RG405v/406v, both much more capable and much more hurtfull for the wallet ;) ....but that aside, despite having you on the background on a second monitor, the ending of your video made me smile and even wave to my monitor....thanks !
How good are the SP buttons. The screen looks alot better than I thought. The 40xxv screen is one of the best from ambernic.
@7:23 This is not GBA integer scale. The rg35xxSP is a 640x480 screen. GBA integer scale would be 2.5" at 2x resolution. What you showed is 2.7x resolution at 3.4", with a custom GBSP bezel overlay.

If the Brick is good enough my core 4 lineup will be my Steamdeck OLED, Odin 2 Pro, RP4 Pro and the Trimui Brick.

📣Nerd Alert !!! 🎆🎇 Another treat of a video thanks for posting 👍👍
My pleasure!
I love all those motherflippers😂
Personally been carrying the Trimui Brick everywhere with me. lol great video as always!✌️
The Miyoo Mini is just too plastic for me. Just ordered a Brick, let’s see if that does it for me
I bought 6 different handhelds(40xxV,35xxsp, 35xx plus, powkiddy 10x, powkiddy 20sx.) ones in 2 months and the funny thing is, the powkiddy v10 is my favorite somehow haha. Especially for cheap advance gaming and it looks and feels great , I play hours with this thing and the hotkeys are easy haha😍. Nice video again!!! Love watching you! (Ps I have small hands hahaha)
No one mentioned RG 28xx. It's amazing. Same power of 35xx SP in an extremely sturdy and pocketable device
This video is for the vertical handhelds. I have another one for horizontals, you can find it on my channel. :)
Those rattly, crappy shoulder buttons though.
@@ondrej1893 not even that big of a problem. Buttons are rattly as heck on SP as well
Great job man. I will be watching your videos in the future.🤙🏽
Volume control on the v10 never bothers me in the slightest
No GDK Pixel. Heresy! ;)
Thanks for this personal overview. Love it. Gave me some insight into the various machines.
Been watching you this early 2024, never fails to deliver entertaining insights about handhelds!
I'll try not to disappoint in 2025 either. 🥹
I have most handhelds shown ..
I still find myself picking up my beat-up
Rg280v 🤙 for everyday use .
Maybe ill pick up the mini 😎
RG40XX H was my personal favourite for 2024 so comfortable to play
Yeah, it's an amazing handheld tbh. Made my top in the best horizontals of 2024 vid. 🥰
I don’t see myself getting a 406v anytime soon, or at all, but I like your reasoning on why you picked your top consoles. Also, I totally agree the Miyoo mini plus is awesome. I own 4 and am rarely without one on me.
Great video, but... but... I love the v10 ; )
I'm really hoping for a 40xxSP this year.
I'm not sure any other handheld will replace my 35xxSP
9:51 come on vlad send that boy to private school 😅
NO 😄
I feel like the miyoo flip might have actually found success and wouldn't have been so disliked, if it would have actually released before this one, flaws and all.
Second!! Love listening to this before I go to sleep :~)
Enjoy, my nerd! I'm going to sleep soon as well (it's 8am here now). 😅
I love the PowKiddy V10, it's SUPER comfortable to hold, the D-Pad and front buttons are amazing and I love the way it looks (I love GBA games but the GBA itself looked ugly AF and had a super small D-Pad). And I love the bezels BTW. What I don't like about the V10 is Emulation Station, and the shortcuts are a little bit confusing at first (I still think they can be customized somehow but never tried).
The RG40XXV is one of the most comfortable devices ever (especially with a silicone case), it just lacks stereo speakers.
The MM+ is outdated AF, the RG35XX+ with MuOS is the way to go (way more powerful, bigger battery and way better ergonomics).
I haven't tried the og MM but I ordered a RG28XX 2 days ago because although I'm a vertical person, I don't think vertical is gonna be comfortable in such a small range.

It is certainly a GBA machine, but honestly for the price is a pretty great one! I hope they release an improved version with wifi included though.

Otherwise I’d be happy with Miyoo Mini+ to play through ps1 for $28 shipped on Black Friday which I purchased to gift a friend
this was my reasoning, I wanted a one-runs-all device, so 406v was perfect for this.
I sold my Miyoo mini plus because I thought the d pad was too mushy. I'm also a bigger fan of horizontal overall. I do have the rg406v though and love it

The only word that really fits is underwhelming. I found myself spending more time tweaking than actually playing and enjoying games on it.

If AYN made an Odin vertical, or retroid an rp5v this conversation would be very different.
My favorite of the year is the RGB 20 Pro
I have all of these besides the brick, the SP, and the 406V. The powkiddy v10 is honestly probably my second favourite behind the 40xxv, even including my other handhelds. It's just so great for gba. It has many quirks, and it's ugly, but for the price and for how good it is at gba, I can't help but be really fond of it. It tickles my 'oh my god, it's so goofy' bone, while at the same time being quite competent. It's kind of like owning a Pug. I plan to get a 34xx and use that for action games, but i'll still be playing all gba rpgs on my powkiddy v10 so I can 1 hand it.
If you have to break it down by favorite couch handheld and favorite on the go daily pocket rider which would you choose?? I think for me its the RP5 for couch, and Miyoo A30 for pocket. With the 35XXSP being a good middle ground that works well for both (depending on the system I wanna play).
Good options you picked there! I see you chose horizontals, so I'm gonna answer with that in mind:
The Retroid Pocket 5 / RG406H Are both amazing. The H is a bit of boat worlds, easy to carry around as well. For way more pocketability though, the RG40XX H is a really good jack of all trades!
Great and funny videos as always Vlad!
I'm running brick minui, and 40xxv w/knulli as my two so far. Haven't moved up to next tier yet.
Love the 40XXv. My eyes aren't getting any better, so hoping for a 50XXv this year :)
Yea the Miyoo prob still the best feel but just wish is was longer. Yea non are perfect. The 40xxv is nice but flawed. Need to try the SP one. The Brick is fantastic but wish was a bit bigger. Smalls cool and portable but not ideal for bigger hands or longer fingers. Wish comeone would just make a GBC shape 1 for 1 but atleast as powerful as h700 or similar.
Thanks for video. What's the Pac Man game you are playing around 6:57 on the RG35XXSP?
I could be wrong here, but otherwise looks like Pac-Man CE, a NES romhack
Hey nerds! Question for you all. I started on handheld with the OG 35xx and garlicos. For me it was absolutely perfect, hardware software hdmi out. I got a 35xxh when I broke my screen.

I have the Miyoo mini plus and the TrimUI brick. Both are very good handhelds and to be honest can't say which one is better, at the same time they're different in so many aspects.
TrimUI has a stiff clicky dpad and buttons, and as Vlad I also prefer mushy buttons like on the Miyoo... But hear me out!

The controls were meh, the dpad were too clicky and unwieldy, sticks and modern titles seemed to be better placed on the horizontal form factor. And it looked ugly!
Funny you said that the v10 is disappointing, I adore it because of the integer scale for gba. Its not really better than my rg351v though...
My favorite is Miyoo mini plus and RG35XX-H are both good handheld.
However miyoo mini plus is issues monitor because screen isn't stronger brighter from sunlight about hard to see screen when i play.
Expect RG35XX-H is good for outside about i can see screen brightness better from sunlight
That's a good point you raised there!
What would you recommend for a first retro handheld . . My modded psp vita about had it and looking for a upgrade to a retro handheld and any recommendations would be appreciated it . . Thank you
I'd you're coming from the Vita, then I guess the Retroid Pocket 5 Pro would fill that role nicely. Also check out the Ambernic RG406H! (link in the description)
You forgot the winner in price power relationship R36S
And having No analogue triggers is exactly the reason y i will get the rg 406 H instead of the V.
Brick just didn't click with me. Buttons are too loud for my taste (all of them), had to disconnect battery after just 3 hours of playing because it.. well.. bricked lol 😅
Then had to run sd recovery software and reinstall minui again.
Idk, I still think Miyoo Mini /Plus is the best of all. Never had any problem with them and I have a few.
I love the screen and Onion OS on the Miyoo Mini Plus but its hard to recommend it to anyone with hands even slightly above average size because im with slightly bigger hands and the Miyoo Mini Plus has terrible ergonomics and the triggers are hard to get used to at least for me. To be honest i wouldnt recommend Vertical handhelds to anyone with bigger hands :D For now im daily driving a Powkiddy RGB30 and i like it and i dont think i will change it soon because i only play NES SNES GBA type of games and it is really good for that. Of course it has flaws but the screen is nice and it fits ok in my hands and Rocknix has been solid for me.
I bet if your RG40XX V was black you would give it more love.
For some reason Vlad, I just can't get past the fact that Anbernic didn't change the handheld design from the RG405V.
I never had the RG405V, so technically it's all-new from my point of view. 😄
Amazing!
So on the same day I order your top pick of horizontal handheld (in black, of course) ... Now you're trying to recommend vertical ones! 😅😅
This is for the vertical crowd. You'll love the H. Stay strong! 😆
Which one of these supports pokemmo ?
Honestly, I don't know, sorry. :(
Was never a pokemon guy, grew up with DBZ myself
LOL Don't let these nerds and their "angry nerd" opinions get you down, Vlad. There's always some neck-bearded nerd out there who has something negative to say about everything.
I'm pretty good with my RG35XX+ which no one seems to care about anymore 😂
You’ll never get me to stop the hate.
Horizontal handhelds are inferior in terms of comfyness and beauty!
Long reign vertical kings!
Blasphemy! My Precious, my Funkey S clamshells are totally functionally and usable. Practical? No. But very usable.
I'd love having one of those just for kicks, but my eyes are getting tired just thinking of squinting at that thing. 😆
good video
Thanks a lot! ❤️
👏👏👏
Ayaneo Pocket DMG.
Nah, I disagree with this. Miyoo Mini is overrated with very bad screen quality compared to competition. TrimUi Brick is the DEFINITIVE choice for the vertical pocketable handheld, it's simply top 1 right now. Heck its screen is even brighter and more color accurate then my expensive Odin 2, its an insane deal. I have owned all those handhelds and more, and there is no debate. Miyoo Mini is not king anymore.
The ultimate 3 handheld combo for me is :
TrimUi Brick, for best pocketable small vertical
RG34XX - Best GBA retro 3:2 handheld
Ayn Odin 2 - Best overall emulator, for all harder to emulate consoles. (And also amazing 4x+ PSP emulation)
Having these 3 I dont need any other handheld....probably ever.
I agree with you about the miyoo mini. It's insane that I get nostalgic about it already 🤣 it's still insanely cute, and is an awesome starter device, but yeah the Brick is just better. Just the shoulder buttons alone on the miyoo mini are enough to put it lower than #1
The Brick has terrible buttons for the systems being played, is too big for such a small screen, and it doesn’t have Onion OS.
The Miyoo devices have the correct button feel, Onion OS (on the Mini/+), better form factor, and look better.
The Brick is a knockoff Analogue Pocket design and that design also isn’t good. I own all of these.
loquacious
1st 😅
No love for the V10
