For controls, the Freeplay Zero offers a cross-shaped D-pad that suits platformers and arcade games, while dual thumbsticks are available as an optional add-on. The plastic body measures 145 x 82 x 25 mm and weighs just 155 g, making it light and easy to carry.
The battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh, and storage is handled through microSDHC and microSDXC cards, so your game collection can grow without hassle.
