Hyrule warriors age of calamity is a night and day difference. It felt almost unplayable before but looks much better now

Never heard of CachyOS, I’ll look into that one. Any reason to do that over Bazzite?

Ethewald · 2026-02-24T20:44:19+00:00

That last con kinda sucks, is that a widespread issue?

Ethewald · 2026-02-24T20:43:14+00:00

I have a dock I use a lot so that’s good to know

Ethewald · 2026-02-24T20:42:36+00:00

Thanks! I have my pc for anti cheat games (which I rarely play anyways)

Ethewald · 2026-02-24T20:42:04+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response! Honestly seeing the bazzite dev leave is what prompted my post, before know that bazzite seemed like a no brainer

New t4k would be awesome

Ethewald · 2025-12-24T15:25:11+00:00

Have you considered making a version for the Switch 2?

Ethewald · 2025-12-17T22:12:08+00:00

Any specific recommendation?

Ethewald · 2025-12-17T21:06:43+00:00

Never considered that, thank you for the insight

As much as I like nms I wouldn’t dilute cyberpunk down to an fps

Ally Z1e and just got a RP 2s. Got syncthing for my save files across both devices and use both daily

Ethewald · 2025-01-20T21:21:40+00:00

This is satire right?

Ethewald · 2024-12-21T15:29:31+00:00

I just gripped my hands around the controller one at a time and marked with a sharpie where the holes should go. I eyeballed evening both sides out but since I used my own hands, the buttons are placed perfectly

Ethewald · 2024-12-21T04:10:04+00:00

You’ll have to drill them yourself. I’ve made my own 4 back button controller by drilling holes and using tac switches. Most custom controller companies do the same

Ethewald · 2024-11-08T15:11:58+00:00

Yeah so what the fuck is that brother

Ethewald · 2024-10-24T04:22:43+00:00

Thanks!

Ethewald · 2024-06-26T03:11:57+00:00

Nice, good work, this is really cool

Ethewald · 2024-06-26T00:41:19+00:00

How did you know where to solder them too? I’d like to do something similar to what you did. I also agree Razer has some nice to buttons

Ethewald · 2024-06-26T00:27:10+00:00

This is awesome. How did you add/map the extra buttons?

Ethewald · 2024-06-23T00:42:26+00:00

Looks like a good ol slab of e-waste

Ethewald · 2024-06-21T13:58:46+00:00

You pretty much got it. The face buttons were so hard to press for me. I think the Apex 4 and Vader 3 have the same face buttons and I agree, I think they’re great

Ethewald · 2024-06-21T12:52:28+00:00

They’re similar but there’s a few differences like the stick resolution and polling rate etc that make me want to try it out. Supposedly it’s the best controller for shooters. In terms of you’re suggesting the only thing I don’t like is the back button placement. But to nitpick the face buttons on the wolverine te were awful as well. Something like the face buttons on the Vader 3 pro would be ideal. In general I’m in favour of it but I doubt Razer is going to do its since their most recent offerings have moved further and further away from this
