AYANEO is pushing at both ends of the range at once. The AYANEO 3 is the company's modular Windows handheld, with swappable "Magic Module" controls rather than a fixed layout, while the AYANEO Pocket Micro goes the other way entirely — a Game Boy Micro-sized Android device aimed at retro emulation rather than PC gaming.
