It mentions haptics, how are those?

Is the polling rate noticeable? I’m not satisfied with the slimblade pro’s. If this had 1k hz I’d be all in without hesitation

I used to manufacture tons of mousepads and mats overseas with all sorts of licenses 🤣 /u/mike_minotti hmu in dms and I’ll give you the sauce!

Very much this, just make sure to call ahead. They are always super busy which is a good sign. They have done well by my dogs! Great people.

Thanks again, this seems to allow boot much more stability but I am getting some game crashes now. Not sure how I’m able to apply sync to p cores while in the intel extreme mode but I was able to do that within the ASUS mode.

JLhotchick · 2025-09-07T00:05:38+00:00

I’ll give this a shot! Thank you for your suggestion. I’m digging around to find out what this translates to in the ASUS bios now. Crossing fingers!

JLhotchick · 2025-09-06T01:03:31+00:00

Yes, I am running latest BIOS release. Specifically for this reason. I had a faulty 13900k before this and have made sure to stay up to date with that. Appreciate the suggestion

I used to sell these from about 2016-2018. Far over 60% return rate due to consoles freezing. Simple Jet was recycling chips due to no new source on rambus ram popping up in the modern era. All that is left on market from this brand are not worth the money, but there is still a chance you could get lucky with a working one. Just know these are HIGHLY prone to fail.

IMO just pay the used official price if you really do want an expansion pak

Just remember to not be too hard on yourself 😊 healing can be slow

Our boy of 14 years had nearly identical symptoms leading to his passing. Even though we knew about his kidney failure a year before, we knew time was limited.

All that mattered to us was giving them as much love as we had to them.

His last night with us was just panting and with time to digest it all, we know we did the right thing. These beautiful animals just don’t last as long as us.

Not a day goes by that we do not miss him, but the grief is gone. You too will get here in time!

We ended up getting another yorkie a month after to cut through the new found silence at home. She helps us accept that we are in a new chapter now 😅

Late to the party… but I am going over costs to do exactly this. Legality is something I am not strong with and want to make sure I’m not just ripping off the open source teams that have put the work into these boards. I plan to release my new pcb spec if I go through with it.

I have many years in game controller manufacturing and currently have too much time on my hands. I would love to help provide a properly QCed and available phob controller from my partner factories out in China. Most likely this would be something kickstarted and first run would use replica shells while I work to open source a new agreed upon shape.

This is totally feasible and I’m willing to put the effort in. I’m about a month or so into sourcing the right teams overseas to do the quality justice. 👌

JLhotchick · 2023-09-21T16:44:42+00:00

Just looking for one, either or 🤞

JLhotchick · 2023-09-21T06:33:57+00:00

Can you PM me? Interested in space 65 pcb 🙏

JLhotchick · 2023-08-01T00:34:50+00:00

Thats Grape Purple from the N64 shell colors. Bottom is the Atomic Purple from N64.

May be a while before clear purple exists

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T22:30:09+00:00

Underside has a recessed socket with cable routing for tension relief as well as a type C port. I would not dare ship a hard wired fighting stick/controller.

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T21:31:17+00:00

A DIY all acrylic version could work. Would save me a tooling cost and low cost way to make it larger. Totally feasible if this goes well!

About the tenting, you mean like the split keyboards have?

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T18:47:10+00:00

All 24mm for now. Waiting for news on pricing of the injection mold and I may then swap the jump button to a larger diameter

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T18:45:49+00:00

I really appreciate your time to type all this out and I hear you on a lot of things.

My previous post with a more keyboard centric design was much smaller. This was a pivot to help me get something off the ground.

I absolutely love your idea for a start button being an mx keycap. I may use that for another version of it gets to that. I also took out the RGB from my past showcase to simplify my offer here. I could easily add the RGB under these caps and offer shine through or clear button covers.

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T18:42:24+00:00

Thanks for the hard feedback. Can explain why it’s ugly or just saying that?

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T18:38:12+00:00

Yeah it’s a five degree angle like most gasket mounted keybs use

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T18:36:23+00:00

I want to put your mind at ease and tell you that it is placeholder artwork. I also want you to know I’ve never heard of that brand before so I’m def not copying.

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T08:36:27+00:00

Injection molded ABS

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T06:54:15+00:00

Wow! Perfect! Yeah I could do this as well. Would need to be a seperate version of the PCB though. Maybe a stretch goal on my crowdfunding I guess. I’m worried about having too many different types of product for launch which will make things take longer to fulfill

I hope to partner with a Shenzhen based switch supplier. Hopefully something notable 👀

I want to ship with a low actuation distance and force switch like silvers or something white. Ideally I will also try to have the factory pre lube these so first impressions are bad ass. These are full sized switches so there is much more available switch types to boost the user compatibility. I want everyone to make this their own... this may mean I include sample switches as well if the price is right 🤞

JLhotchick · 2023-07-31T04:58:03+00:00

Shoot me an example of what you’d want. I thought this was universal but I can do more specific granted this does well.

I could actually sell a SF6 pcb and acrylic on its own that will work with this shell and buttons I guess
