ClockworkPi uConsole is a gaming handheld launched in 2023. 1 GB RAM. Features a 5" IPS LCD display (1280 x 720). WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0. Runs Linux.

The ClockworkPi uConsole is a modular Linux handheld released in 2023, created for fans of retro gaming, open hardware and programming. Built into an aluminum chassis with passive cooling, it blends the spirit of classic home computers with the flexibility of a modern mini-PC. It is designed as much for makers and power users as for retro gamers.

Performance depends on the compute core you choose. Thanks to its modular design, the uConsole can be configured with ARM (Raspberry Pi CM4) or RISC-V hardware and 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB of RAM, depending on the module. Emulation covers a huge library, including 8-bit and 16-bit consoles, arcade boards, classic computers such as Amiga, Atari ST, MSX and MS-DOS, and systems up to PlayStation. N64, PSP and Dreamcast are mostly playable, though not every title runs at full speed.

The 5-inch IPS panel runs at 1280 x 720 in a 16:9 aspect ratio with a 60 Hz refresh rate. Its density of around 294 ppi keeps text crisp, so the screen works as well for writing code and running desktop Linux apps as it does for games. There is no dedicated glass lens, only a screen protector.

Controls are where the uConsole stands apart. The vertical layout includes a backlit full QWERTY keyboard, a mini trackball and left/right mouse buttons. The upper section adds a D-pad made of separated buttons and four face buttons. There are no analog sticks, shoulder buttons or rumble, which makes it best suited to retro titles and computer platforms. Volume and brightness are adjusted through the menu.

Power comes from two swappable 18650 cells, charged over USB-C. Connectivity includes WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, optional 4G LTE, a micro HDMI video output and a 3.5mm headphone jack, with storage on microSD. The specs list no built-in speaker, so headphones or Bluetooth audio are the way to go. The device measures 125 x 180 x 20 mm.

On the software side, it runs Linux, with Clockwork OS available, and imposes no restrictions on tinkering. That freedom extends to engines such as ScummVM, Pico-8, TIC-80, OpenBOR and EasyRPG, as well as scripting and DIY projects.

Ideal for: retro gamers who love classic computers, Linux enthusiasts, programmers and makers who want a pocketable, keyboard-equipped open-hardware platform.
