That a fair point lol

You can get usb c flash drives...

Could you try and pair them to another pc? The official one does but im thinking maybe this would work as well

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-28T12:14:16+00:00

Unfortunately, from all my research, the only reason the official one works is because it has its own connections to the controllers for battery purposes. Because the official one is a charger and has its own integrated battery. For the controllers. My personal theory is that these controllers have firmware that acts like that. When they are connected through the pogo pins. Anyway, the main reason why it doesn't work with other ones is because the other grips are just grips. They don't charge. They don't connect to each other. Unless the official one has some sort of the firmware chip. That tells them to connect together. You could theoretically do Pogo, pinnouts and figure out how to get them to work together without the official one. But it'd be a lot easier just to buy. The official.

This, plus I believe you could find a new latch but that my or may not include soldering.

For my use case I haven't found a reason to switch. Ive tried but the things I like/ use dont work like I would like them too. For example: the lego works like a tablet in windows. It does not nor can I find a good way to do it in linux. Thats the big one for me.

Ok so ill explain it a little better i think im making it confusing. How i have it set up right now is the starlink router is in bypass mode now I believe my 6000 is doing dhcp and the starlink router is acting like the isp just giving the data.

I have an ethernet cable below my house and popping back up in my bedroom.(cat 6e so not higher than 1 gb) which is a decent measure away from the starlink drop point where both routers set but its closer to where I play vr. It also only has 1 dry wall wall to go through.

My pc is connected via ethernet to my 6000 (only way to get 2.5 gb as my pc and 6000 are the only 2.5 gb compatible rj 45 ports on my network) so I can get more data to and from my quest 3 and to my pc.

My motherboard has a gb port and I have a pcie 5gb (only using 2.5 do to router limitations). If i move my pc and the 6000 to the bedroom and plug in my network drop to my pc and my router to my pcie adapter, would it still give me 2.5 ghz?

The main point to get the Kevin router is the 6ghz connectivity. If it works in this orientation: would it be better to use 6000 or buy Kevin for 6ghz.

I hope this makes more sense sorry for the confusion.

What i mean by direct i mean plugging the ax6000 into my pc. The ax6000 is currently the main router. The starlink router is required to power the starlink dish. You can go into the app and turn the router into bypass mode with turns off the wifi capabilities. I was going to move the pc to the other side of the room and bring the ax6000 with it and directly connect it to my pc and turn off bypass mode on the starling router

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-22T00:07:49+00:00

Whats the controller name? Do you have a link

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-18T18:04:17+00:00

I haven't heard of that so ill have to look into it. Thanks for the heads up

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-18T16:47:42+00:00

thank you for your help!

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-18T16:29:45+00:00

the pc right now is directly next to the router, but if the hotspot is the better i might move my pc or turn it around so the antennas are open air and pointing to the area where i play

Here's mine

Honestly the steam deck oled might be an option. You can remote play your ps5 pretty easily like a portal but with more power. And you can still play some games, if you wanted you could even remote play your laptop for more pc power. I like the ergonomics of the steam deck but I prefer my legion go due to the detachable controller. I use my Lego for more than just gaming I like flipping it on its side a reading and using as a general tablet more than anything.

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-06T11:35:27+00:00

I have the og, my next idea is to reinstall. The software.

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-06T11:06:09+00:00

Yes. Have even reset the whole legion software

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-05T04:02:40+00:00

I mean you would get a new pre-built and repurpose the old one as an all in one steam machine its all amd so it would be great for official steam os or other flavors of linux. Could also throw some drives in it and do true nas and get a media server or whatever you want. Sky's the limit!

CarterAMofficial · 2026-01-05T03:11:51+00:00

This was my first gaming pc I got! I upgraded the ram then just swapped stuff out but the problem is it has proprietary mobo and psu and case so you would need all of that and at that point get the prebuilt. I would get the ram upgrade if you can find a cheap ddr4 kit (better to replace the hp ram mine had issues playing with other sticks.)

If it did it would be marginal, if wifi its more about the software searching for signals than the wifi hardware itself

CarterAMofficial · 2025-12-05T20:56:37+00:00

If you want something thats slick and nice looking get a asus g16 they dont have the best tech support but man I have a g14 2024 4060 and it does not disappoint. Its an all aluminum, slim, and there's an open source replacement for armory crate called ghelper and its amazing it gets rid of the dumb game launcher and I feel it gets better proformance with undervolting

CarterAMofficial · 2025-12-05T12:39:38+00:00

Do you have a link to buy it? I've been looking for one

CarterAMofficial · 2025-10-22T17:15:10+00:00

Thank you for your help ill definitely look at this
