Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really love my Claw A8, the screen, performance, battery life and speakers are all fantastic. A few things I think could use some work are the comfort of the grips as they are incredibly uncomfortable especially coming from a Steam Deck. Also, Windows Full Screen Experience is terrible and I installed Bazzite after a day and it's so much better. Overall, I'm really happy with the system.

I wanted something slightly larger and more powerful than the Steam Deck OLED, which led me to the Claw A8. I immediately installed Bazzite. I noticed TDP controls were wonky so I installed SimpleDeckyTDP and now its awesome. Great battery life and performance.

The device performs really well. The windows experience can be a bit cumbersome even with FSE. It runs smoothly with Bazzite. Wish the rumble motors were better. The grips are good but I’ll be getting silicone grips from better ergonomics.

Had to run a windows repair on it because I was getting some issues with it. If you’re getting the dx12 error you might decrypt the bitlocker key and run the windows repair and that should fix it. Overall I’m really enjoying it and is working great now! Love using it with my Xbox gamepass with the Xbox full screen experience. This product is probably for someone that has experience with windows.

Yo what up, you don’t like the MSI Claw lay back amd shut up. I got the claw and it’s lowkey anazing from what i saw. 24 gig of ram and an 8 inch screen and its a sweet machine. I play my games on the go going to work to and fro yeah aint that so. The other ones are too spensive at $2 G but that aint me. So dont get broke or woke just chill and take a smoke as you play your claw 8 and get your great.

I love it, i just hope it’s OLED. vibration not good the rest perfect. I have rog ally, lenovo legion S and PS Portal. I will use this as my main PC.

Great product.. easy to use. Programs easy to navigate.

The screen is awesome. The 8-inch display is the perfect size, and VRR works excellently. In my opinion, this hits the sweet spot that other handhelds miss. The ROG Ally X felt too small and dense, while the Legion Go was simply too big and unwieldy. This size is just right — the 8-inch screen is an excellent balance between immersion and comfort. Performance from the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is excellent for what this device is, and battery life is great for a handheld of this size. This feels like practically peak mobile PC gaming. Once you go above this price point, you’re honestly better off just buying a gaming laptop — this hits the limit of what makes sense for a handheld. Control placement is excellent, and after adding a grip case, it’s very comfortable for longer sessions. I own multiple handhelds, including the ROG Ally X and the Legion Go, and this is my favorite so far. Everything about it feels well thought out and perfectly balanced. This device is a keeper. If you’re on the fence and can find one, pick it up while you can — highly recommended.
