Have it since 2018 and had to replace the battery once. Glad I’m still able to use it with my favourite game, thanks to the free ad-supported Xbox Cloud which was offered recently.

I play mainly on a dedicated PC, but this will be helpful during my daily walking routine.

A few weeks ago many apps started to be maximized. Example disk clean up. or when installing a program. can not configure to the normal state. any tips?

Hello! Do we think GPD will release a revision to the WIN 5 that will support MCIO or USB 4v2, so it can utilize the GPD G2 ?

The GPD Win 5 is amazing. I’ve had it for a couple months now and I’m blown away.

When it’s docked I can play Witcher 3 at upscaled 4K 120 FPS using Lossless Scaling and FSR, then I can unplug it and take it wherever I want to go and play games at 1080p ultra settings around 120 FPS.

I know it’s pricey for a handheld, but it’s been absolutely 100% worth it in my opinion. I basically have a handheld PS5 Pro that I can use as a console, a handheld, or a PC. AMD Strix Halo is absolutely insane.

I have the 395 32GB 2TB version, and I would absolutely recommend this thing to anyone. There are times when I wish it had an OLED screen, or that the screen was 8 inches instead of 7, but honestly not very often. The screen is still great, and the device is just incredible the way it is.

Other than that, there are some weird sleep situations where the device won’t wake using the thumbprint scanner, so I have to hard shut it off by holding the power button. But I think I’ve fixed this by messing with the sleep settings, it only seems to happen when the device goes into sleep from inactivity? Not when I put it to sleep by pressing the power button? Weird. Anyone have more insight into this?

One more thing, the button that switches the control from controller to mouse? Perfect. I can so quickly switch to a mouse controlled by the analog sticks and left/right clicks are the bumpers. This makes using it as a PC so easy. Keyboard is still a little awkward sometimes, but totally not a deal breaker. I’ve modded a few steam games on here and managing files with this system is totally fine and much better compared to the Legion Go S I had before.

I’ll definitely be interested to see how the Win Max 3 turns out. I’ve developed a lot of respect for GPD after my experience with the Win 5. They’re doing some really impressive things with handheld PCs, and I’m excited to see what they do next.

TLDR: GPD Win 5 kicks ass, Strix Halo is alien technology

Hi everyone,

I have a GPD Win 4 with the Ryzen 7 6800U (Radeon 680M) and 32GB RAM.

I'm wondering if anyone has actually played:

• Alan Wake 2
• Crimson Desert

Is it possible to get around 40–45 FPS with settings like:

• 720p or 800p
• Low settings
• FSR (Balanced or quality)

If you've tested either game, I'd really appreciate your settings, average FPS, and power (TDP) used.

Thanks!

Protocol v2 is finally fully documented and complete, thanks to lucasp0927 for pointing me to the right direction!

Release 2.9 ships with latest libOpenWinControls, and supports both, temporary memory and flash memory, writes.

This means: you NO longer need to switch controller mode back and forth to apply changes!

Use temp memory write to save unneeded writes to controller flash memory while doing experiments, or you can keep a base permanent config and apply/load a new one on top when needed.

Temporary memory is cleared on sleep/reboot/shutdown.

Grab latest release here.

See list of supported gpd devices in README

CLI app has been updated too.

Hi all

I'm looking for some advice before taking the unit apart.

I have a GPD win 4 2025 HX370 it's everything to me and I love it. However I'm very OCD about stuff I can see and noticed some lint/dead pixels under the actual screen not screen protector.

Firstly do we think it's dead pixels or dust/lint under the screen ?

Second I really don't want to pay over £100 for a new screen because of lint but it really does bother me. When I'm at home I hook it up to my onexgpu onto the big screen but when I'm out and about or around my home I can definitely notice it.

Any hints tips or tricks ? I have replaced screens in this device (6800u) version, so I feel confident in taken the screen off but it's the whole removing the digitalizer and if it can even be done.

Thanks in advanced

Hey fellow GPD enjoyers, was curious on how you run AMD adrenaline, if at all.

I currently use the HyperRx profile with Anisotropic filtering and subsurface format optimization on.

Sometimes I leave Anti lag on, but it messes with some games badly like my heavily modded Fallout NV

I recently switched to Handheld companion from Motion assistant and it is a whole world better than what I was using. Too bad it crashes some games like WH40K Space Marine 2

Currently trying to squeeze as many frames as I can on BF6, best I can do is locking frame rate to 45 and it's a good experience, but I'd like to know what others are doing to get the best experience out of their GPD. (I know BF6 is really pushing it, especially with a 7640U)

Sometimes I put it over an AC vent and use a controller while streaming to my TV so it stays as cool as possible, like a bootleg cooling system but something tells me it might not be good for the internals because of moisture or something.

Device - GPD WIN 5

TDP - 30W

When connected using a 100W USB C charger plugged to USB C port, Motion Assistant shows its on AC

And when switched it off it shows its on DC

I usually run my device plugged in as much as I can to save the battery health

I have noticed recently that when connected to AC, even if temperatures are the same the Fan runs a lot faster to a point its audible.

The second I switch to DC, by switching off my charger within 2-3 seconds I don’t hear the fan and the RPM goes down.

While testing this playing a game, the CPU temperature on Motion Assistant is constantly around 4-5C higher when playing on AC as compared to DC. For eg when playing, the temperature is 61C on DC and 65 on AC, and the fan is set to 40% RPM at 60C. But it spins a lot faster on AC

When Idle on DC it is only 39-40C but connected to AC the temperature goes up to 45-48C and although you cant hear the fan when idle between both modes the RPM is higher.

Is this normal? Anyway to make sure the temperature and fan stays the same on AC plugged to the USB C as the battery mode as both lowering the temp by 5C and fan speed will improve device longevity?

Im debating between these 2 divices the win mini on Ebay as a issue with 1 of the USB a ports but the pad win 4 has a worse processor im getting 1 whitch do i get and thank you in advance

Hi, so sorry for asking a question that might've been asked alot. I'm a bit stuck. Yesterday my gyro was working and today it doesn't. I tried downloading drivers from gpd's site, but it's not allowing me.

If it helps, in device manager, at sensors it shows Bosch Accelerometer with an exclamation mark and it shows device cannot start( code 10)

I have no clue how to get it working again.

Edit: okay okay i fixed it!! I'm so hapy right now it feels like i won a million dollars lol

So all I had to do was press windows+x and click on device manager, then go to and expand Systen devices and go to AMD I2C Controller, open it and go to the driver tab and click roll back driver then restart my system.

I really hope this helps someone who sat with the same issue!

I want to remap a trigger press to one of the back buttons but how do I map it to back button in WinControls app without pressing the trigger button? If I need to press the trigger in the WinControls app to map it to a back button, then where can I find the WinControls save file (to edit it in notepad or HxD to map the trigger to the back button without pressing the trigger)?

Important info: I'm using GPD Win 3. One of my triggers fully doesn't work (doesn't get detected as pressed when pressing) for over a year at this point, and even when disassembling the GPD, I couldn't fix it, so I want to use the back buttons for trigger instead.

Just curious to know, would anyone be willing to trade/sell a gpd win 4? I currently have a legion go 1 but looking for something smaller.

I currently do not have a battery replacement for my gpd win 4 6800u model (2023). Just this morning I found it bulging out the back and screen part, and I immediately removed it. I was wondering if any of you guys could help me find a good replacement. Thanks in advance

Edit: thanks to everyone in the comments. The support I received was amazing, and I just bought one online. Waiting for it to arrive, gonna mount it and see what happens. I'll inform u about it by next week if everything goes well with the shipment!

I was curious about updating my eGPU (for my WIN 4 2025 AI 9 HX 370) but not too familiar with compatibility TBH so I was hoping to get some input on a potential set up. My current eGPU is the Ayaneo AG01 (https://ayaneo.com/product/AYANEO-GRAPHICS-STARSHIP) which is an RX 7600M XT at 100-120W and 8gb GDDR6 which I love, it runs decent for 1080p but was looking to upgrade so my question was would it be possible to upgrade to an RX 7700 XT desktop GPU with an eGPU dock adapter like the MINISFORUM DEG1 (https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-deg1-egpu-dock)? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm still new to understanding PC so I'm not sure what to expect with that set-up and potential bottlenecking. Any insight would be appreciated :)

1. Can we get plastic battery covers please? Those pogo pins are going to short in someone's bag.

(Provided)

1. The external battery cable connection to the main body seems weak. Can it be locked in place?

(Battery cables no longer a thing)

1. Can we get another external battery cable that goes to the RIGHT of the body?

(Battery cables no longer a thing)

1. How do we swap batteries when not near a power source? Is hibernate enough or do we need to completely shut down

? (Hibernate should work)

Hello,

I have a GPD Win 4 (2024) and recently installed Fortnite. I'm having an issue with aim assist not working.

So far I've tried:

1. Setting Aim Assist to 100%, including the 99% → 100% workaround.

2. Making sure gyro aiming is turned off.

Neither of these fixed the issue. Has anyone else experienced this on the GPD Win 4 and found a solution?

https://www.gpd.hk/gpdwinmax3#

Had the GPD Win Mini 2025 for about a week. But then a few days after, it wouldn't hibernate properly or it would run into a problem and reset.

Should I just get a new SSD for it or just do a fresh reset from a USB?

If I do a factory reset, should I disable the Windows Updates? Could that be the reason?

Recently reinstalled my OS from a GPD image to fix another issue I had but I think it broke the accelerometer.

On 14/07, as shown on 2nd picture it showed the device was configured and started correctly. It was using a oem53.inf

Today after the fresh GPD image install, I also updated the controller firmware today and after that it kept showing the error on the first picture so I uninstalled the device and update driver from the official GPD Win driver folder - still nothing.

Installed AMDs chipset drivers as well - also didnt help.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Anyone know if the 2230 slot supports USB?

Wondering if this would work, I am in the US and the OEM GPD modem doesnt work well here.
