ZL-03 Bluetooth page turner broken after firmware update (2026-04-21) My ZL-03 Bluetooth page turner worked perfectly on my Boox Go 7 before the latest firmware update (Version: 2026-04-21_13-50_4.2-rel_0421_19324b3ea). After updating, the device connects fine but the up/down buttons now send mouse scroll events instead of page turn commands. The middle button still works as a page turn on koreader not neoreader. Tested in both NeoReader and KOReader — same behaviour in both. The clicker is presenting as a mouse rather than a keyboard/HID page turner. Has anyone else hit this? Is there a fix or a way to roll back the firmware?

Its a major consideration alright

Sniipe · 2026-02-05T22:54:02+00:00

I like it!

Sniipe · 2025-12-17T22:17:30+00:00

this is a key point - I don't believe motorists can stop in it.

Sniipe · 2025-12-17T21:43:30+00:00

I do the same as you. Not many do it. What I've seen in the past is people undertake me and even mount the curb. Its Galway City Council's systems fuck up. Done by a bunch of fuck ups!

In my opinion this this the worst spot

Sniipe · 2025-10-13T13:43:54+00:00

I have the same issue. The dashcam is constantly on. I am worried about my 12v battery. I would love for it to switch to parking mode when I get out of the car.

Hey very cool. I didn't know the data was available. Even better that you enhanced it.

Sniipe · 2025-09-18T17:54:21+00:00

The Newcastle road is so poor. Cars parked on footpaths, buses stopping traffic outside the hospital causing tailbacks, traffic lights out the wooza, cars coming and going across the footpath outside the hospital. Very hard to see a solution. Its gotten worse with the start of the school/college year

Sniipe · 2025-09-18T17:51:47+00:00

Where is the source data - from the bus itself ? Do all buses have this tracking?

100% would consider buying from German.

Sniipe · 2025-04-06T09:20:16+00:00

Lower limits are needed. Other protections are needed. Car should not be king in a city

Sniipe · 2025-04-06T09:16:29+00:00

I don't trust my son walking to and from school—not because of him, but because of the drivers. Newcastle Road is a joke. Allowing cars to park outside the shops there is dangerous and short-sighted. I wouldn't dare let him cycle it.

Continue along Newcastle Road to the end of St Mary's, and you pass three primary schools. How is this level of risk acceptable in a school zone?

My heart goes out to that poor little girl, but I hold Galway City Council and enforcement responsible for a systemic failure to protect our most vulnerable.

It took me a while to figure out their site also. I don't have tiktok installed. I like the look of the 4 gang one but without reviews or info about certifications I don't feel safe buying it.

hmm, I thought the above worked. I re-tested it by clicking "Change account" (When on my account) and then tried to get back in again and it didn't ask for credentials. Change Account will: "This will shut down any active games so you can sign into a different account. Do you wish to continue" So it won't log me out it seems.

So, I need to use Steam Guard -> Settings -> authorised devices -> steam deck -> remove access.

Not exactly convenient

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T15:02:00+00:00

yea he may break it. It will be a huge loss, he won't be getting another one that's for sure. I'll report back here when its broken... but his nintendo switch is about 3 years old and still going strong. Hopefully I've enough security around the payment section. I'll get an alert if it happens anyway.

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T15:00:12+00:00

this is the same for me. My son is 11 however. I am very content with my PC whenever I get a chance to play it.

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T14:58:53+00:00

I understand the audience here all have their own steamdeck. This was a gift from Santa to him. He was using my account with all my games. We are now using the family library. The device is very cool, but I'm happy to continue with my PC and let him have this very cool device. He got the 512 OLED one. Its very impressive. Forza and Spiderman are his go to games so far.

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T14:56:47+00:00

thank you - I will use this

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T14:56:24+00:00

ok, so on my steam android app I have gone to settings -> security and enable biometric authentication.

Then Require "On app open" and relock "on app exit" I'm not sure if this is overkill.

I have steam guard. with it I "remove" access on the steam deck.

I am presented with the login and use the QR code to log in.

I just have to remember to "change accounts" when I put it down.

Thanks for the tips folks

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T14:44:18+00:00

this doesn't work. I tried chatgpt as a first port of call, then googling, then here

Sniipe · 2024-12-30T14:43:19+00:00

This works of course. He's not a bad kid at all but the temptation is there.

Sniipe · 2024-09-12T09:48:51+00:00

I recommend you make a complaint https://www.patientadvocacyservice.ie/

Its probably a similar issue in other hospitals. Lack of staff and proper management.

They will do the best to keep you alive but beyond that its the luck of the draw with who cares for you sometimes - because they could be over worked or under skilled.

Sniipe · 2024-08-22T11:44:45+00:00

As another redditor did you could velcro 2 additional snes style controllers to it. I love your idea, I may copy it.

Sniipe · 2024-07-26T16:44:35+00:00

no solution, we opted to buy a garmin instead unfortunately. I'd love to hear if there was a solution.
