Hey~Our Preliminary concept design have been forming!!!How do you think about it? If you have any kind recommendation,please be free to sent a email to our technical team :[email protected] ,the name is Kelvin.communication with the technical person may more accuracy and effective than I pass on~~Thanks so much for your kind concerns!!any recommendation,we will check it carefully and consider it as important references!!

I can imagine having a lot of accidental presses on the keyboard with that layout.

Agreed but the alternative is making it even smaller...

I agree with what most others said: remove those side columns.

I have a question... I can only see two shoulder buttons... there are four right? also, where are l3 and r3? Both 4 shoulder buttons and l3/r3 are absolutely ESSENTIAL for games like dead space, cod modern warfare 3, etc. These games run fine on the chipsets but use l3/r3.

Also, 4 shoulder buttons if they are look to be again using the new 3ds XL layout. With android on the XD I have gotten used to it and it works fine, mostly not used in fps's or only used for switching weapons for which they work great, but when gamestreaming I notice it?s a pain because the triggers on xbox360 controller map to l2 and r2. In practice I never gamestream on it anyway, but please please please put them above each other ar make sure l1 and r1, the outern ones, map to the xbox360's trigger buttons and not the bumpers so that in borderlands and the like we can aim down sight and shoot using l1 and r1 respectively instead of l2 and r2.

Love it,     


P.S For those concerned about hitting keys accidentally, bear in mind this scheme is present on the Pandora, and keys are not hit accidentally.  Your thumbs are on the controls, to hit the keys , you need to physically move them onto the keys.  I understand the question, but in reality, it doesn't occur.  The only thing that needs changing from this design is to lose the columns of keys on the right side, to make all keys single width except for the space key (double with) . Then increase the spacing between keys and centre the keyboard (due to the removal of the right side keys). Power etc can be moved between the joysticks as with the XD

NOOOOOO!

please DON'T CHANGE THE CURRENT GPD-XD LAYOUT

why change gpd xd layout, the best layout of handled consoles? I don't know WHY

Looks like you're taking influence from Pandora and Pyra, which can be a good thing if you're going for a handheld with built in keyboard. However, I think you're going to want to take a closer look at the Pyra's current layout and mimic it better. Your current design is a little cluttered and doesn't have enough emphasis on gaming.
A keyboard would be great but please get the gaming part right, too.
Also please tell me there's L2 and R2 and that the sticks this time are the kind that click for L3 and R3.

my last concepts...

last one, is the embebbed keyboard. i tried to keep the current layout, but move a little bit buttons and dpad to the borders, to give more space to keyboard (to avoid accidental pressings)

my current favorite is the side slider keyboard... ^_^

@GPD I think it looks outstanding, would buy

however keep the current XD's Shoulder buttons. The XD's shoulder buttons are my favorite on any device.

And the q9 looks to have one of the best Dpads so would use that style instead

Yes please! Finally something to rival the Pandora. Will buy if the price is right.

Considering the amount of power this could pack, it's more of a rival for the yet-to-be-released Pyra. Will be interesting to see how people react to them both.
