- Xii-Boy Original, Xii-Boy Pocket
Hi all !
Here we are; after almost 6 months, I'm happy to finally release the Xii-Boy Pocket !
The goal of the Xii-Boy Pocket was to remove all the flaws the Xii-Boy Original (V1) has.
Making this new Xii-Boy was a huge challenge. It was hard. But, it is done and, I am very proud of the result !
First, I wanted to make a small update. I just wanted to put a better screen, and that's it.
And by designing it, some new ideas came out.
Finally, the Xii-Boy Pocket is a huge update from the Original one.
Here are the FEATURES
- OMGWTF Wii Trim
- 3.5" 480 IPS VGA Laminated Screen
- Between 2 and 3 hours of battery life
- Includes 6 custom PCBs
- Brand new trigger system using THMF07 dual tact button
- Better and quieter cooling system
- Better, quieter and bigger Power and Volume buttons
- Sync button
- Much better general feeling
- Much better audio
- Custom ABXY layout
- USB-C Power Delivery 12V charging port
- 3.5mm headphone jack connector
- µSD card Slot
- Faster loading times
- New RGB LED location
- Nylon SLS case
- 5mm thinner
- 145 x 86 x 26mm form factor

Before concluding, I just have something to announce: Like you might read on the BitBuilt Discord server, I prepare something.
Something that will normally use no wires. Something that will use all the 4LayerTech PCBs.
As you might think, I'm happy to announce you that I'm working on the Xii-Boy Ultra (V3)
I'll speak more about it in its own upcoming Worklog.
Thanks a lot, have a wonderful day, and see you next time, for the first episode of the Xii-Boy Ultra
