(Part 2) Top products from r/gpdwin

Evecase 5.6 x 5.6 x 3.5 inch Camera Bag.
Chose this after trying too long to find a 3DS bag that didn't have horrible straps. $16 with Prime

Anker USB 3.0 4* USB tap.
Obviously, you need to have more than 1 USB port to do much, like using a mouse with a usb drive.
$9 with Prime.

Cable Matters Mini HDMI male to HDMI Female cable 2 pack.
Minor shaving required. Not tested extensively.
$10 with Prime.

Lexar USB 3.0 Micro SD Card Reader
If you want to use a ferry card or temporarily pop your card of choice into a computer, one of these is incredibly helpful. Plus it's tiny. You can probably get one cheaper if you don't want the 32GB card included.
$33 with Prime.

Standard XBOne Controller.
Works without any need to mess with dongles on Windows 10. It'll even work with headphones/sets.
$35-$50ish, depending on color and luck.

Venom Xbox One Rechargeable Battery Twin Pack.
I don't recommend these in particular, but a rechargeable pack is a must if you don't want to guzzle batteries.
$17 with Prime.

Logitech Wireless Mouse M185.
Pretty reliable, but only has the standard 2 mouse buttons plus tilting and clicking mousewheel. Receiver stores inside nicely.
$13 with Prime.

Kid Icarus Folding 3DS Stand That I Had In A Box.
Needs a little rubber bumper to help secure the Win properly.
$10 with Prime.

Perrix Asymetrical Folding Keyboard.
This one might be tough to find, but it works amazingly. The weird fold system pushes the main hinge off to the side, so it is less likely to fold the moment you put it on your lap. It also completely hides the hinge when the keyboard is unfolded. A bit cramped, but the keys are properly clicky laptop keys.
For image and model reference

Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger*
While looking for my power pack, I found this one. Seems to be a flat upgrade. 26800mAh with 3 4.8A output USB ports. Also has 2 micro usb inputs for double the charge speed?
$59.99 with Prime.

Other possible pack-ins.

Bluetooth Numpads.
If you're primarily going to be gaming, you might want to drop the full keyboard in favor of a bit of space plus one of these. Works nicely with a mouse if you rebind with HIDMacros. Also more tiny airport/college desk friendly. Example unit is $30

Similarly, you might want to try a half controller + mouse option using a device like the Nintendo Joy-Con's left unit. Drivers are still being worked on though, so only get this if you're up for beta troubles.
$50ish, but you can get lucky on eBay.

SanDisk Ultra Fit 128GB USB 3.0 flash drive.
The one in all the Win lists I've seen, but I figured I'd list it here for convenience.
$45 with Prime.

Batteries
All this stuff takes a total of 3 AAA (2 for the keyboard, 1 for the numpad) and 1 AA battery that will need replacing eventually. I hesitate to recommend rechargeable ones, as I have yet to find a micro charger for them.

Inateck USB 3.0 Ethernet + 3 USB 3.0 port adapter.
You might want to replace the 4 port one with one like this if you plan to do network maintenance, secure data transfer, or just plain download things quickly.

$20 with Prime.

PS4 Controller.
Some people prefer this to the XBOne one. It's lighter in the hand (and bag), comes with a built in rechargeable battery with absurd life, and has a touchpad with 4 physical buttons underneath. Can do some pretty crazy things with the touchpad via Steam's controller customization, but has weaker compatibility with non-Steam applications. Also works with PS4 Remote Play.
Worth noting that, unlike the ps3 controller, this can charge directly from any micro usb power supply. Headset support seems to require the official receiver dongle, sold separately.
Controller Alone: $40-60 Depending on color. Silver's cheapest.
Adapter Alone: $66
Controller + Adapter Bundle: $66

Budget 1 Handed Controller**
Hey, if you want to try 1/2 Controller + Mouse, why start off pricey?
$10

Phew, that's about all I have on hand.

As others have said you can do this with a relatively small setup. There is a LOT to consider - HOW portable, HOW efficient, etc etc. Help me out if the below suggestions don' t meet the need I can piece together just about any system for you :P

​

You could get by on a small sealed lead acid battery designed for uninterruptible power supplies. They range in size but average 9 amp hours. I say get yourself a little 35 amp hour and never worry about discharge rate if you are only powering the win2 even if the sun don't shine that day. For the solar - buy BIGGER than you need - learned this the hard way with my truck camper. Right sized is great until the season changes or its overcast etc.

​

Check out this little starter kit - it includes the solar panel and charge controller:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DCDZOI0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_2ehvCbKCNM5MT

​

Down in the frequently bought together you should see a 35ah battery - will fully charge the win2 a few times and not even feel it:

https://www.amazon.com/85980-D5722-Sealed-Battery-UB12350/dp/B001VV0318/ref=pd_bxgy_2/135-2046487-8709925?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B001VV0318&pd_rd_r=f062a34c-263c-11e9-b2b2-83751d0b2340&pd_rd_w=Nxcwh&pd_rd_wg=KqE5I&pf_rd_p=3f9889ac-6c45-46e8-b515-3af650557207&pf_rd_r=KWC3NGMZ50M5TJWJ1STT&psc=1&refRID=KWC3NGMZ50M5TJWJ1STT

​

12v car charger that I use with the win2 - works great:

https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Anker-PowerDrive-Adapter-MacBook/dp/B071WYF9HP/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549038482&sr=8-3&keywords=anker+pd+2+car+charger

​

​

Plenty portable depending on your needs. Its almost as easy as color coding to setup. You can power the win2 and multiple devices if you so choose. Expandable at a later time if you choose with panel and batts. Will fit in any trunk or backseat. Hell it will fit in a big backpack (panel is 21x26). Large enough charge current to top off your battery quick even in partial sun - big enough reserve to keep you going for a couple days easily. This is just an example of an 'easy' bundle if you wanna save some more money I can show places to get these items cheaper.

​

​

If you wanna talk more DIY and are not afraid of LI-ION 18650s you can build you a safe lighter and denser battery for pretty cheap. It would be piecing together a charge controller and panel but I would say stick to 50w range - affordable and covers your power needs even in less than ideal conditions. If you wanna go more expensive but more portable flexible/foldable panels are out there too.

Hello!

I actually loaded up with accessories right out the bat, and most were from amazon.

They are:

A usb 3.0 hub

Bluetooth Mini Keyboard

Bluetooth Mouse

Amazon Basics 11.6'' laptop bag

I did also order a mini HDMI to full size HDMI cable from Gearbest for like, $2, but it's pretty shit. I'd suggest getting one though.

Now, this was all calculated. I travel a lot, either for work or for leisure, and this device was just perfect for it.

I wanted to get a case that can hold everything, but take up a small footprint. The case is just wide enough to hold the keyboard, the middle pouch can hold the Splitter, the Mouse and either the GPD in their if you want, or with the keyboard.

It all fits very well, and the only thing I haven't tried is the hub, but I'm sure that'll work.

I plan to get a folding headset for the go as well, and have a usb splitter for Mic and Headset, so I can hopefully get some CSGO action using the hotel tv when I'm away!

That said, the mouse I got can go from incredibly responsive to having just a small delay. It's fine for using for the web and what not, but I'd probably suggest a different mouse, or just a wired one if using the hub. (for portable and not frequent use, the reviews for this one are very good!)

Hope that helped!

Here's a teardown that I used when I did mine: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4815125987?pn=0&

The 15x15mm shin is the correct size but the thickness matters as well. I believe Phawx used a 1mm thick shim and there was a noticeable bump in the keyboard, I used a 0.8mm thick shim and it cools very well with a barely noticeable bump. There shouldn't be a problem using anything from 0.5 to 1mm, but I wouldn't go out of that range.

I wouldn't remove the joystick cables from the motherboard. They are tough to get aligned again when reconnecting them. Use some tape to hold them in place on the board.

Two specific things to keep in mind: there are two screws that hold the main board in that are shorter than the rest, note where you remove them from. Also watch the input selector switch when you're reinserting the main board, make sure it's aligned with the switch on the case.

Other than that you should be in good shape, it's not too tough of a mod. Just keep your screws organized, and take your time putting it back together and you'll be fine.

Also silver is not going to be worth the added cost. It does conduct better, but only marginally so. You can spend the extra money, but I'm not sure it's worth it. Copper is around $2.60/lb while silver is around $240/lb. While the conductivity of copper is 386 W/mk and silver is 407 W/mk. So you get an approx 5% increase in cooling for a nearly 100x increase in price.

Edit: let me know if you're having any trouble and I'll try and help you.

Screwdrivers I recommend:
#0
#00

Here is a pack with 5 different thicknesses of copper shims. Same set I used:
Copper Shims

I sometimes use a couple of different USB fans:

https://www.amazon.com.au/ARCTIC-Breeze-Mobile-Flexible-Portable/dp/B003XN24GY/ref=asc_df_B003XN24GY/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341792025491&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2383948075395915345&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1000286&hvtargid=pla-441796032378&psc=1 - I use this one if I'm using the GPD on a external screen or handheld WHILE it's charging (the fan uses a bit of power so expect 1-1.5 HR battery life with fan on)

https://www.ebay.com.au/i/262358644471?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-0&mkcid=2&itemid=262358644471&targetid=752504740784&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1000286&poi=&campaignid=7412621934&mkgroupid=80280725225&rlsatarget=aud-693796249881:pla-752504740784&abcId=1139426&merchantid=116570866&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqabvuPWI5gIVkTUrCh08qwT4EAQYBSABEgL4mfD_BwE - Or I use this one when I'm exclusively on battery power as it has 2 mode settings, low and high and while on Low I can still maintain good battery life.

The first fan is longer and can extend and bend directly over the intake which is why it's a great little cooling gadget, really helps with the temps (at least 3-5 degrees Celsius difference - depending on game).

The second Xiaomi fan is shorter but the dual mode makes it ideal for battery use. In both cases, there is a risk of your fingers getting jammed up in the blades but if you bend the fans properly, you should be good.

I don't know if this one works, but it says it supports USB-PD and uses 12V. I'm considering getting it when I get my WIN 2.

I'm also looking to buy a GPD Win here soon, so I started a poll on dingoonity.

http://boards.dingoonity.org/gpd-windows-devices/best-most-reliable-place-to-purchase-a-gpd-win/

EvilDragon won hands down! Looks like they have some REALLY excellent customer service too. Heck, EvilDragon actually posted up in my thread!

Here's the link to their store
https://www.dragonbox.de/en/475-gpd-win-gpd-win-4260416650442.html

They're currently out of stock, but you can put your email address in to be notified if you want. :)

As for extra storage, from my research I've found that the Lexar S45 USB Drive offers the highest read speeds available. The only down side is it's annoying blue read/write light. Others that have one have simply painted over the light with black nail polish, though. :D

Lexar JumpDrive S45 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive - LJDS45-128ABNL (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012PKV7RC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cS6oybPSBG90T

I did a bit of research on this. The two main competitors for the low profile USB 3.0 usb sticks are the Lexar S45:

https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-JumpDrive-128GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B012PKV7RC

And the SanDisk Ultra Fit:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-SDCZ43-128G-GAM46-Newest-Version/dp/B01BGTG2A0/

They are similar in price (around 30 dollars). I went with the Lexar because it seemed to be slightly faster in head to head benchmarks and the profile of it is flat. The primary downside when I got it is that it has a VERY bright blue LED that flashes with activity. However, I simply put some electrical tape over it and it almost entirely blocks it.

For SDCards, it seems the fastest performers are the Samsung EVO Plus:

https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-mc128d-128gb-Uhs-i-Adapter/dp/B0118LR9Z8/

It has the fastest read speed at 80 MB/sec, which is still quite a bit slower than the USB which I usually benchmark at around 150 MB/Sec max, and the internal memory is faster than both, and much better read speed (so prioritize putting games etc that have longer loading times or require writing in the internal memory).

The Win2 is listed at $794 on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-Portable-Gameplayer-Notebook-Graphics/dp/B07CK7DRYS/
SSD is $220 on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-512GB-MTS400-Solid-TS512GMTS400S/dp/B076X365T6/
Plus time & software to image the original drive and transfer it properly to the new SSD

So (to me) it feels like $900 is fair but of course the ebay listing allows people to lob in any bid they want (within reason).

I use this one since I've had it for a while. Has two ports with different charging speeds, a power indicator light, and a decent, built-in flashlight.

The one you're considering looks pretty good. It's got 8000mAh more than the one I use, has two ports, and a 4-pt power level indicator. I can't vouch for Xiaomi quality since I don't a product by them, but it seems to be well-rated on Amazon.

I use this one for the Win 1. It's got enough juice to keep your phone and tablet going for a long while too.

USB Wall Charger, RAVPower 61W Type C PD 3.0 Power Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PLR7T1M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_y3MSDbEM8B406

This is the one I use for my Win 2 and it charges it just fine. Any usb type C to usb type A cable will work with it.

Oh, ok. This is the smallest you can go and have it be competent and be 12v. https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-10000mAh-Portable-Delivery-Nintendo/dp/B079Z4RHZZ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524575645&sr=8-1&keywords=usb-c+power+delivery+10%2C000mah

There's a link to the Wiki in the sidebar. The Wiki has a USB-PD page that lists chargers and power banks. Personally, I've used this because I already had it and it works fine:

​

​

If you need a power bank (battery) too, you can get them in a combo, something like this:

​

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNWRNC

Maybe this tape

https://www.amazon.com/Eco-Fused-Adhesive-Sticker-Phone-Repair/dp/B00BXYWXY8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549321426&sr=8-4&keywords=Electronics+adhesive

Or maybe this adhesive?

https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Electronic-Grade-Silicone-Squeeze/dp/B07MKBBQTC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549321426&sr=8-3&keywords=Electronics+adhesive

I'm not an expert on this, just trying to help and maybe give you an idea.

From the looks of it, it's ineed the SD card. Try the flashdrive.

A card reader is either a built-in port that can read SD cards, or an external USB device, like this one (first search result, not a recommendation in any way):
https://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-MicroSD-Reader-Writer-GFR204SD/dp/B0046TJG1U

My pockets are quite large and they fit the Win1 with plenty of spare room, and the Win1 is only slightly smaller than the Win2 (7mm x 2mm x 3mm). The bigger concern is the added ~80g of weight

I wear these shorts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009CTUG1I/

And carry it in this (it'll fit the Win2): https://www.banggood.com/Outdoor-Molle-Waist-Bag-Pack-Portable-Mini-Bag-Nylon-Phone-Wallet-For-Camping-Hiking-p-1008209.html?

For now I'll use this as a solution.

Not the best thing ever but as long as I have the stand with me, it'll suffice. At least this will allow me to sit it on things that might be soft (like a pillow).

If you're curious, this is what it is (nothing fancy). I tried using something a little taller but I couldn't get the body to sit on it properly so this will work.

With two USB ports, you can always pop a tiny microsd adapter into one and basically just leave it there.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/elago-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-Reader/dp/B002HGFKR8

Yup!! I have 2.

Update: also these work...

in there

It's overpriced if you compare to Aliexpress, I got it from lanruo for $877.
