Compare the RG40XX H handle shell and the RG40XX V handle on fit, material, weight, and price to decide which 3D printed grip belongs on your Anbernic.
Quick answer
If you own the RG40XX H, choose the 3D Printed Handle Shell for RG40XX H Game Console; if you own the RG40XX V, choose the 3D Printed Handle for Anbernic RG40XX V Game Console. The two grips are console-specific, so the deciding factor is which handheld you actually play.
Fit is the deciding factor, not preference
The RG40XX H handle shell is built for the RG40XX H, and the RG40XX V handle is designed for the RG40XX V. Because each grip is shaped around one console, a handle made for the other model will not give you the same secure, seamless fit. Check the model name on your device before ordering, and treat color and finish as secondary choices.
This is also why a generic grip recommendation is less useful here: the RG40XX H vs RG40XX V grip question is really a question about which console sits in your hands.
Material and weight: what the PLA handle means for long sessions
The RG40XX V handle is made from PLA and weighs 62g, with a 70g package weight. That gives you a concrete sense of how much material you are adding to the console, which matters if you play for long stretches or carry the handheld in a bag. The RG40XX H handle shell listing does not state a material or weight, so if those numbers are critical to you, ask before buying rather than assuming they match.
Both products are 3D printed, so expect the small surface variations that come with that process. Neither listing claims a soft-touch or rubberized coating, so do not expect one.
Color options and price: where the two handles differ most clearly
The RG40XX V handle comes in Marble, Green, Purple, Starry Black, Black, White, and Blue, while the RG40XX H handle shell is offered by color without a published list in the catalog facts. If matching a specific shell color matters, the RG40XX V handle gives you more to choose from on paper.
At catalog prices of USD 8.99 for the RG40XX H handle shell and USD 9.49 for the RG40XX V handle, the difference is small. Do not let a few cents decide this purchase; the console you own should.
Trade-offs to weigh before you choose
- Console compatibility: Match the handle to your exact model: RG40XX H handle shell for the RG40XX H, RG40XX V handle for the RG40XX V. A grip for the other model is not a safe substitute. Confirm the model name on your device before checkout.
- Published specifications: The RG40XX V handle lists PLA material and a 62g weight; the RG40XX H handle shell does not publish those details. If weight or material is a dealbreaker, ask the store rather than assuming. Treat missing specs as unknown, not as identical to the other model.
- Color choice: The RG40XX V handle offers seven named colors; the RG40XX H handle shell is sold by color but the available list is not given in the catalog facts. Pick the V handle if a specific color match is your priority. Check the color selector on the product page for the H shell before ordering.
- Price difference: At USD 8.99 versus USD 9.49, the gap is under a dollar. Choose on fit and features, not on the small price difference.
