How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
If you want a self-contained, rechargeable handheld gaming device for a young child, choose EASEGMER 16; if you need a durable desk organizer that holds a headset and a controller while tidying small accessories, choose MyGift Industrial Matte Black.
• EASEGMER 16 biggest strength: A complete, kid-ready gaming package — 220 built-in games, a 2.5-inch 16-bit screen, bundled headphones, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery in a body that weighs just 3.06 oz.
• EASEGMER 16 biggest trade-off: It is a single-purpose entertainment device with a 2.5-inch LCD, push-button controls, and one-player play, so it does nothing beyond gaming and its small screen won't suit older players.
• MyGift Industrial Matte Black biggest strength: A dual-purpose metal and wood stand with three prongs that hold both a headset and a gaming controller, plus a solid burnt-wood base tray for cables, earbuds, or USB drives.
• MyGift Industrial Matte Black biggest trade-off: It is storage furniture, not electronics — it powers nothing, charges nothing, and its roughly 10.4-inch height means it needs real desk space.
• Who each pick is for: EASEGMER 16 is for parents buying a first handheld console for a child roughly 3–10 years old; MyGift Industrial Matte Black is for anyone organizing a gaming station, office desk, or studio workspace.
The EASEGMER 16 is built around one clear idea: hand a child a complete play system with nothing else to buy. The console carries 220 built-in games covering early education, sports, and non-violent titles, and the manufacturer frames the whole thing around hand-eye coordination, thinking, and problem-solving skills. That framing matters more than the game count. It tells you this is a parent-facing product — a toy that a buyer can justify as developmentally useful, not just entertaining.
The hardware backs up the kid-first positioning. It weighs only 3.06 oz and measures 5.7 x 4 x 1.57 inches, so small hands can hold it and it slips into a bag without a fight. The 2.5-inch LCD is a 16-bit display, which the specs describe as clearer than 8-bit players and sized to avoid being either bulky or tiny. There's a protective film over the screen that has to be peeled off before first use — a small detail, but one worth knowing so you don't assume the display is cloudy. A single lithium-ion battery is included and rechargeable, which means no steady supply of replacement batteries and no mid-road-trip scramble.
The bundled headphones are the smartest part of the package for travel. A kid can play on a plane, in a car, or in a waiting room without broadcasting game audio to everyone nearby. The shell is described as durable and shatterproof plastic, and the manufacturer offers a replacement if it breaks within a first month of ownership — worth noting for anyone worried about how a handheld survives a child.
Who should buy it: parents or gift-givers shopping for a child in roughly the 3–10 age band who want a low-fuss, screen-contained toy that works out of the box, travels well, and doesn't require buying batteries or games. Who should skip it: anyone shopping for a teen or adult who wants modern graphics, wireless controllers, or multiplayer — this is a single-player, push-button device with a small LCD and a fixed library of games. If you're buying for a household where two kids will want to play at once, the one-player design is a genuine limitation.
The MyGift Industrial Matte Black solves a completely different problem: where all the gear goes when it isn't on your head or in your hands. It's a desktop stand with three prongs — enough to cradle both a headset and a gaming controller — so the two things you grab and drop most often have a fixed home instead of landing on the desk.
The design is what sells it. A matte black metal frame sits on a burnt wood base, giving it a rugged, industrial look that fits modern setups, home offices, and studio spaces without looking like generic plastic storage. At 1.8 pounds with an overall footprint of 5.9 x 5.9 x 10.4 inches, it's stable enough not to tip when you hang a headset on it, and tall enough that the headband clears the surface below. The prongs themselves measure about 2.0 x 1.6 inches each, and the base is a 5.9-inch-diameter riser.
That base is the second job. It's a solid wood tray that gives you somewhere to drop the small stuff — charging cables, spare earbuds, USB drives — that otherwise migrates across a desk. In practice, that means the stand does two things at once: it lifts your headset into easy reach and it acts as a catch-all for the clutter that accumulates around a keyboard.
Who should buy it: anyone running a gaming station, an office desk, or a studio workspace who wants their headset and controller visible, organized, and off the surface, and who likes the industrial metal-and-wood look. Who should skip it: people who want a charging stand, since this holds gear but doesn't power it; anyone with very little desk space, because a 5.9-inch base and 10.4-inch height need room; and anyone who needs to store multiple headsets or a full controller collection, because three prongs cover one headset plus one controller.
• Best for a young child's first gaming device → EASEGMER 16. It's purpose-built for kids roughly 3–10, with 220 built-in games and an age range starting at 36 months.
• Best for desk organization → MyGift Industrial Matte Black. It holds a headset and a controller and adds a tray for cables and small accessories.
• Best for travel and screen-free-adjacent play on the go → EASEGMER 16. At 3.06 oz with included headphones and a rechargeable battery, it's a self-contained carry-on toy.
• Best for a permanent setup you look at every day → MyGift Industrial Matte Black. The matte black metal and burnt wood finish is decorative as well as functional.
• Best for battery convenience → EASEGMER 16. The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery removes the need to buy and swap disposables.
• Best for clutter control around a keyboard → MyGift Industrial Matte Black. The 5.9-inch wood tray is designed for cables, earbuds, and USB drives.
• Best for multiplayer or older players → neither. EASEGMER 16 is a one-player push-button handheld with a fixed game library; MyGift is a stand with no electronics at all.
• Best for a gift you can hand over with no setup → EASEGMER 16. It arrives as a complete console, whereas the MyGift stand is something you assemble into a room you already own.
In my opinion, the deciding question isn't which product is better — they don't compete for the same job. If you're buying for a child, I'd choose the EASEGMER 16: 220 built-in games, a 2.5-inch 16-bit screen, included headphones, and a rechargeable battery make it a complete gift that works the moment it's unboxed, and the 3.06 oz build suits small hands. If you're outfitting a desk, I'd choose the MyGift Industrial Matte Black, because a metal-and-wood stand that holds a headset, a controller, and your stray cables earns its footprint every single day. Buy the one that matches the problem in front of you, not the one with more features on paper.
FAQ
Yes. The three-prong design is built to hold both a headset and a gaming controller, and the burnt wood base tray adds storage for cables, earbuds, or USB drives. It holds gear but does not charge it.
They solve different problems, so value depends on your need. EASEGMER 16 gives you games, a screen, headphones, and a battery in one device; MyGift gives you durable desk storage with a decorative finish. Check the current price on Amazon for each before deciding, since both are sold there.
It's designed for exactly that kind of portable use — 3.06 oz, 5.7 x 4 x 1.57 inches, a rechargeable battery, and included headphones. The headphone support keeps the game audio to the player rather than the surrounding seats.
It needs a footprint of about 5.9 x 5.9 inches and stands roughly 10.4 inches tall, so it wants a real desk or shelf rather than a cramped corner. If space is tight, measure before buying.
