At a cost similar to assembling a moderate custom desktop, gamers might consider the elite OneXFly Apex portable device from OneXPlayer. The company has initiated a fresh Indiegogo fundraiser for this advanced handheld, priced from $1,399 for the base model to $2,299 for the top configuration. Although devices like the Steam Deck suit many mobile players, the OneXFly Apex stands out through superior components, a removable 85Wh external power pack, and an available liquid cooling system.
Details on runtime from the substantial battery remain undisclosed by OneXPlayer, though it's built for easy replacement with an additional unit available for purchase. When power dips, users can either allow several hours for recharging or connect directly to a wall socket for uninterrupted play. Customization options include an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor at maximum, along with 128GB RAM. This Windows-based system supports up to 4TB internal storage, expandable by 4TB more using a mini SSD slot and a microSD card reader.
A distinctive feature is the add-on liquid cooling kit for the OneXFly Apex, costing an extra $60. Despite the premium entry price potentially deterring some, the device incorporates drift-resistant non-contact capacitive analog sticks and adjustable Hall-effect triggers for brief or extended actuation to support its value. The crowdfunding effort swiftly hit its 100,000 Hong Kong dollar target, equivalent to about $12,850, within under two minutes. Four variants of the handheld are now offered by OneXPlayer, with deliveries slated to begin in January 2026.
