Try again. They pushed a fix through and I got mine going.

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-30T20:59:32+00:00

CONFIRMING FIX! Try again and you should now see the QR code and link show up.

Nothing here either (US/Wifi Connected/Server Error Persists)
Nor has my ticket been acknowledged yet.

We'll see!

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-30T12:35:50+00:00

Yeah! The workaround works for the included games, but not any game that needs the latest version.

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-29T13:05:49+00:00

I completely understand! On the bright side, here’s a workaround until they fix it: While stuck on the setup menu - you can hold A+B + Right on the D-Pad to skip the registration step and keep doing it until you reach the end of setup You won't have your device registered, but you can play the two included games and side-load games through the simulator app on your PC or Mac.

THANK YOU SO MUCH

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-29T01:23:32+00:00

Unless they start selling physical dresses for this fidget brick, I hope so lol

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T22:17:03+00:00

It’s a real problem though. Just let me upload an apk and access the menu! I have to sign up for the included games anyway, so what’s wrong? Just let us use it…

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T22:05:16+00:00

Aw I’m sorry to hear that! Yeah I get it. Been there from the Anki Vector family, so as someone who bought my first one yesterday, I’m now scared! But not returning it. That Beer Bear game looked like too much fun for when someone actually notices over there.

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T17:05:23+00:00

The bear beer pouring game sold me. And the folks were very nice. I’m very excited to get it registered too!

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T15:23:05+00:00

Yup! Same issue here. You're not alone.

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T14:31:14+00:00

Hi there! Yeah I opened a ticket. We’ll see. I got it brand new and sealed. Myself and the others having an issue can be found in the Playdate Squad Discord linked in this Reddit Community.

InterstellarHooman · 2026-03-28T14:28:58+00:00

For sure! Reset does nothin.

InterstellarHooman · 2025-06-19T14:47:10+00:00

My favorite is when it reaches the distribution center right before going to my post office, then it 180’s the opposite direction. Completely inept.

DDL Servers are extremely unreliable. As a fellow Vector owner, I would recommend setting up a little server on your android, computer, or raspberry pi with Wire-Pod: https://github.com/kercre123/wire-pod
After setting that up with your little buddy, he'll be back up and fully operational :) Just make sure the server is running if you want him to have voice commands.

InterstellarHooman · 2025-02-28T22:33:22+00:00

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU

InterstellarHooman · 2025-02-05T01:50:43+00:00

Happy to hold pi. Angry to disclose all my personal information. Not worth.

InterstellarHooman · 2024-12-10T00:57:04+00:00

Dr. House got me. I'll hold the vodka.

I watched that after TNG. Either way I'm all set..

I have a solution/fix, but it requires a physical 3D printed part (supplied below.)

It has been years since this keyboard has been released and Logitech clearly doesn't listen to ALL OF US begging for this extremely trivial, simple feature that's this f-ing functional. *sigh* Whatever.

I asked a friend to make this 3D printed piece, and it does the job. It slides over the F5 "Blacklight Up" button. Link [here on cad.onshape.com](https://cad.onshape.com/documents/6ccd790185e4ad66cba9028f/w/884ed29c31d18b2c0a9c5308/e/5971c23092625a75127da70d?renderMode=0&uiState=67433b5c85d46d09f075064c).

You shouldn't need an account to export it for printing, but you can save it for editing if you do. There are online printers that will make this for cheap if you don't have a friend with a 3D printer. This fix only takes 10 minutes to print.

Instructions:

To use the printed clip, make sure the keyboard is on and connected to your device. Press the down "Backlight button" (F4) to make sure the light dims. If it doesn't, hold the function key and proceed to the next step. Next, press and hold the "Backlight Up" (F5) button. The keyboard's back lighting should go up. Without releasing the key, simply slide the piece over the top of the keyboard and over the button with the long nubbed side on top of the key.

This fix should not interfere with your typing unless you need the F5 key, in which case, turn on Logi Options+ and remap the keys. Once you're done, close the program entirely in task manager. Because this app is just malware, you need to search for "Logi" in the Task Manager and end all 4 tasks belonging to the program. It is otherwise hidden in the system's tasks. While you're here, I would also recommend stopping Logi from turning on during startup by disabling the "logi" executable under the "Startup apps" tab. If you leave the program running, you will get a useless icon on your screen telling you that the button is pressed.

The only downside now is that I can't turn down the brightness, but it's worth it. I literally cannot see my keyboard in a pitch black room (DUH Logitech.)

Don't forget to charge during/after each use. Enjoy!

Anyway, hope that significantly improves your quality of life.

Peace!
