Anbernic’s second controller has a 2.5” screen that allows you to configure the settings directly on the controller. It’s more PC-focused, with tactile clicky controls and a variety of connectivity options. But it also doesn’t feel very “Anbernic”.

** Update: I was able to get the heart rate monitor to work eventually. You have to hold onto it without moving for about 20 seconds (longer than I expected) and then it will show your BPM. Wasn't able to get myself excited enough to trigger any alarms. **
This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
