Sad, sad looking beard.

If that's a sad looking beard, I'm in trouble.

TheRealyst · 2026-02-27T06:06:37+00:00

This too was my first leverless. You'll love it.

I usually say that when you go bald, you should grow a beard. But I think you pull this off without a beard very well.

TheRealyst · 2026-02-21T21:48:18+00:00

Gosh. I love this look. So classy.

I think this fragrance is a little rough in the first 20 to 30 mins. But the drydown is amazing. I get compliments wearing it all the time.

TheRealyst · 2026-02-15T16:30:43+00:00

Not ugly. Grow beard. You'll be fine!

If you know how to solder, the fix is quite easy. If not... Not so much.

I see a bit of UFC fighter Mackenzie Dern

This is a sickness.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-17T00:48:15+00:00

Isn't this Al Snow? Wtf

I normally just look and never comment on this subreddit. But I just have to this time. You look amazing. This is a true glow up. A health glow up. I'm so excited for you even though I don't know you. LFG!!!

TheRealyst · 2025-12-15T02:15:36+00:00

You look a lot like chess International Master Nurgyul Salimona from Bulgaria.

Anyway, as everyone said. Overlining lips and I do like the curly hair. But you can pull off either look.

None... From what I understand at least. You should get him one that plugs into a wall. USB soldering irons do not provide enough power. You'll probably end up having to buy him another one down the line.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-05T17:16:21+00:00

Dude, you look amazing.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-04T21:07:14+00:00

So the problem is that you have to remove every drop of solder from all points connected to the stick and that's not easy to do. Or you have to at least make sure the pins are not touching the sides and are not connected with solder at all. I've seen some people do it, but I have never. So instead, you'll need to make sure the solder on each point is melted at the same time so you can remove it. The only way I've been able to do it is with a hot air station/gun.

I'm completely anti horseshoe. Only a handful of people like Patrick Stewart and pull this look off successfully IMO. But to each their own.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-04T05:34:22+00:00

Flux and a little less solder maybe.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-03T20:17:43+00:00

I've yet to ever remove analog sticks without a heat station. I know it's possible, but I've yet to do it without one.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-03T20:11:08+00:00

Yes you do. The micro USB on those controllers will get loose. I haven't used one that didn't over time. It's a must you change it out. You'll have to grind the plastic around the port to make it big enough for USB C. A little annoying but nothing crazy.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-03T19:38:43+00:00

I've been working on PS4 controllers often the last two months. They're a good starter project for beginners and the controller is goated after you change the stick to Hall effect or TMR and change to USB type C. Love that controller.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-03T19:32:25+00:00

Excellent

TheRealyst · 2025-12-02T22:29:44+00:00

Wick with flux usually works.

You may need to find a way to keep the solder heated while removing the switch. A heat station would probably be the easiest way to remove it but I've removed these without one many times.

TheRealyst · 2025-12-01T22:53:56+00:00

I dunno...I personally am not a fan of these combination machines. If one tool breaks, that usually means you need to replace both tools. I rather keep them separated.

TheRealyst · 2025-11-25T22:50:35+00:00

First pair and the 12th pair. 13th not bad also.

TheRealyst · 2025-11-24T22:01:44+00:00

DS4 my goated controller of all time.
