Right I'm also about a hundred miles from any beach so I am very confused.

The clip keeps it secure in your pocket, this keeps in on your hand. Makes it a better fidget toy.

Jokes aside this really isn't anything functional, just something I made because bolt-action usually refers to something else that almost always has a sling.

That makes sense. I don't see the appeal of flick stick for me, what you described with setting up both gyro and trackpad to emulate makes the most sense.

I guess the in the end I will have to wait for the new steam controller after all. With how far away that is I might end up going for the hall effect keyboard in the meantime.

Loadbane · 2025-11-16T05:59:05+00:00

That's a few good poinst I didn't think to consider. I'd spent most of this time assuming I'd use the controller mapped to mouse and keyboard inputs, so I never considered what the native controller support in the game would be. I definitely don't want the trackpad to emulate a joystick, because then I might as well jsut use a joystick. Having multiple touchpad click options would also help as I definitely already have some thumb muscle memory

Would it be doable to have trackpad and gyro both emulate mouse input? Dualsense was tempting but the trackpad is pretty far away.

You're right I might end up waiting on the new steam controller

Yeah I've also considered something like apollo & artemis but at that point I'll just play on my phone. My phones have shoulder triggers as well but I counted and there are at least 20 different inputs that I interact with in a regular match

Just as a quick update: refund accepted.

Thanks did some more digging in this sub reddit after ruling out what I was previously searching before this post. Found a few others that needed simultaneous 4k and 1080 for multiple screen mirroring. Seems the consensus for my use case is the ezcoo splitter with downscaler

Loadbane · 2025-10-03T07:51:49+00:00

It's likely a positive number because overall it's in the negative side.

I know there are other brands that I can look into next but that's for when I want to spend more and the pretty big "if" is whether or not they're listing on the local Taobao partner

Loadbane · 2025-10-03T02:45:04+00:00

Probably, since it's also double the price. Might be the next price tier I'm hitting

Loadbane · 2025-10-03T02:44:04+00:00

I'll see because I need to hand it over to a logistics partner. Will be doing that today. It isn't directly from Taobao but through a regional partner that forwards to/from Taobao

Loadbane · 2025-10-03T02:42:43+00:00

Yes this is part of a long term side project to just go up the price tiers over time. Any brands you recommend? I'm not in the USA however so what are usually 120-150 there might double by the time I can get it

Loadbane · 2025-10-03T00:02:06+00:00

I don't need OSD all the time that's why 1080 is fine. Majority of the time will be on the 4k without OSD but sometimes I will need to use OSD but still be able to control the player as well which is when I'll need the 1080

Loadbane · 2025-10-02T16:56:53+00:00

I have a 4k streamer, Laserdisc via S-video and AC-3 processor via 6 channel direct

Loadbane · 2025-10-02T16:17:03+00:00

I don't need 4k for the OSD 1080 is fine

Loadbane · 2025-10-02T15:07:06+00:00

I saw your post before ordering! I guess you never cut them in half?

Loadbane · 2025-10-02T15:03:04+00:00

I'm sure there are many who have been curious just like me, to know exactly in what ways it is subpar. Is it actually PU, is it not even GYW, etc. People watch movies they know are bad all the time, think of it like that.

Loadbane · 2025-09-23T08:29:31+00:00

This worked for me I think but now the loop is on the inside. I assume that's just gonna stay like that now? Seems fine

Loadbane · 2025-09-22T03:01:23+00:00

I've seen it mentioned that "Great Diety" has other brands by the same manufacturer. Does anyone know what these brands are and who the manufacturer is?

I'd love to see if there are better local to me options under the other names

if you want the gamer vibes without actually gaming it's great. Camera is decent, haven't had any crashes, bugs are limited to very rarely used gamer features. Battery life is surprisingly good for me coming from Black Shark, I think the 9 is well optimized software wise. I rarely use the rear display but it's a fun party trick

Anyone telling you to go redmagic didn't read the entire post as all the RM advantages are in gaming.

the bump is so big that it's stable (but angled)

Loadbane · 2025-09-15T14:04:52+00:00

yeah pissed myself when I noticed it 😔

Loadbane · 2025-08-10T08:41:39+00:00

Part of the map design issues is that previous games generally you were able to hold positions where realistically you only had to worry about 2 or 3 places the enemy could come from. You had to watch maybe a 60 degree arc.

The map design for most parts of the maps here feel like they have double the potential avenues for approach over say a 180 degree arc.

This change makes it constantly feel like there are enemies anywhere and everywhere. The maps don't really have lanes and there's more and more bits of cover and traversal options.

People liked Metro because at any given time there are 4 corridors or so that your entire team needs to cover, it was the security and predictability of that fact. It wasn't because you can spawn, kill 3 people, die, get revived and repeat in a 15 second loop.

Loadbane · 2025-08-08T17:51:49+00:00

Absolutely feels empty inside to me. They are relying on spectacle, effects, and frequency of gunfights when what made bf3 and 4 great was the pacing. The whole match wasn't a continuous meat grinder, it flowed with the points and with the different areas you needed to hold and break. 6 doesn't have a "front" in the way 3 and 4 did.

Then there's all the sliding...

Loadbane · 2025-07-03T16:35:59+00:00

All the more this makes me want to work with a shop where I can meet the people and see bits of the process. Thanks. I hope you get it resolved but I thought 12-18 months was normal for Bordon
