I was thinking to buy a Retroid Picket 5, but i found out that Retroid doesn't sell battery replacement, and apparently there are not third party batteries on the market. What retro handheld should I get that has reparability as a feature?

(already own a SteamDeck) Edit to add: want to emulate N64, arcade and run some game ports. Also woukd like to run Rocknix with it probably.

Seconding @SippyCup@lemmy.world here - if you have a smartphone that’s less than 5 years old, long-term I think it makes more sense to use that with a split/mount controller (something like an 8BitDo Ultimate or Razer Kishi V2).
