GKD Mini Plus Classic arrives on Kickstarter for US$139
The GKD Mini Plus Classic is now available to back on Kickstarter, a week after the company revealed more details about the gaming handheld. To recap, the GKD Mini Plus Classic combines a 3.5-inch display, a Rockchip RK3566 chipset and 1 GB of RAM. Additionally, the device has expandable storage and modern connectivity standards for pairing a wireless controller or local multiplayer with another unit.
Building on the GKD Pro, the GKD Mini Plus Classic has two joysticks, four action buttons, a d-pad, and four shoulder buttons. Moreover, Game Kiddy has integrated L3 and R3 buttons within the device’s frame, which sit beneath a power button and a pair of microSD card readers. Unsurprisingly, the GKD Mini Plus Classic comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a USB Type-C port, which adorn its bottom panel.
At the time of writing, the Kickstarter campaign has exceeded US$47,000 with 14 days remaining, nearly 10x its funding goal. While Game Kiddy offers the GKD Mini Plus Classic for US$139, this price is only open to ‘VIPs’ who pledged US$1 before November 9. Alternatively, the company sells the device in Sky Blue and Space Grey colourways for US$149. Currently, Game Kiddy expects to start shipping to Kickstarter backers in January 2023.
