To Wiz Or Not To Wiz?

[Darth_Moose]

So, I just got my Wiz in today. I have only gotten the chance to try a few things on it but so far I love it.

The touch screen on mine is quite responsive and accurate (I know a lot of people say theirs are bad, and very off, I must have lucked out).

Build quality is quite nice, although it does seem to have a slight rattle to it (could be just mine). It works perfectly so I'm not too worried.
It is lighter than I thought it would be, and a lot of people like that. Personally I like a little weight to my devices, but I can tell that in the long run it will be a GOOD thing that it's light.

I personally like the buttons, and don't have much to complain about in that department. The shoulder buttons are in a BIT of an awkward position, but it's easily compensated (I imagine it can be tough to design a system for so many hand sizes )

It is currently updating the firmware, and then I will be off to play with it some more!

All in all, so far I am VERY happy with the purchase.

Cheers

Theres a newer firmware that has less tearing? I'll have to look for that.

(Sort of annoying is that GPH didn't update the firmware version string very well, _I think_; its hard to tell which firmware you have and if its newer or not, since they swapped some of the numbers around in at least some fw versions

MAME is amazing on wiz

I'd say go with the Wiz. I got mine last week and I'm amazed at this little machine. Top notch !

Mine did that too but I found it was just the battery rattling against the battery cover. Placing a little piece of folded up paper in between the two resolved the issue.
