One of my favorite features with the Steam Deck are the two touchpads integrated into the device. These make it not only easier to play games that need a mouse, but also makes navigating the Desktop significantly easier than using the joysticks or touching the screen. There has been no Windows handheld that has integrated this yet, up until recently when AYANEO announced the KUN. And 3 days ago, we got the first real-world look at the device to see how big it is and what we can expect:

Personally, I expected it to look a bit bigger than it is, and I have been preferring the square touchpads over circular ones, but the fact they are there is way more important than the shape. Seeing the D-pad also makes me quite curious to know how it feels, but I am optimistic.

With AYANEO promising an 8.4 inch color screen with an incredibly long battery life, as well as saying it will be the most powerful Windows handheld ever made, this is going to be a very interesting handheld to watch. There are no specs released yet, but with an eight-directional D-pad, hall joysticks and triggers, and a camera integrated into the device, I am interested in it and curious to see the price point and exactly what will be powering the KUN.
