### ⭐ Review
*by J***N on 14 March 2023*

To start with, they use nylon threads. In the first one I got they were defective, bent and stripped. I had to get a replacement unit from Amazon. Luckily I used both to make one good unit because the replacement also had messed up nylon threads. After all that, it doesn't even matter because half the games on this thing do NOT work! I contacted them and they confirmed, all the games came from their older unit and they do not work on this unit. They knew this and they shipped it anyway with no ETA on a fix. Also, half way through our correspondence, they stop responding. It has been months and they will no longer respond to me. So maybe skip this one completely and just find something else because you wont get any resolve from these people. EDIT: Also, after a couple months it stopped working. Screen wont turn on anymore. You can hear sounds as it starts a game when you start smashing buttons. Just no screen. Complete waste of money!
