GKD Pixel 2 - refurbished

GKD Pixel 2 (Refurbished) - category A+, small metal gem

The GKD Pixel 2 is really one of those handhelds that immediately stands out for its size. It is super small, but does not feel cheap at all. On the contrary, this is a compact handheld with a metallic body and a remarkably premium feel. If you're looking for something small that's easy to carry around but feels solid and nice, then this is a really nice option.

Why the GKD Pixel 2 is special

What makes the GKD Pixel 2 vooral special is the combination of mini size and premium build quality. Many small handhelds quickly feel like a cheap gadget, but that is not the case here at all. The metal casing gives it real character and makes it feel sturdy, solid and luxurious.

This is also really a handheld that you easily slip into your jacket pocket. It is small enough to take with you at all times without feeling fragile. That is precisely why it has something very special. It is not an all-rounder, but a compact handheld with a distinct charm.

In terms of usage, this is primarily a device for the classic systems. Anything up to and including PlayStation 1 fits this very well. Think Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and PS1. That's also exactly where this handheld is most fun.

Nintendo DS is fine too, although the small screen is not always ideal for that. N64, Dreamcast and PSP are more fancy than the reason to buy it. If you really want to focus on that, a bigger and more powerful device is usually a better choice.

Because this is a category A+ refurbished one, you get a model that is almost in new condition. That makes this an extra nice option if you're looking for an exceptional device without immediately paying the price of completely new.
