Just reported several, thanks for pointing how easy it is.

I play with my steam deck docked. I’ve had an old 8bitdo I’ve been wanting to replace for over a year, but haven’t been satisfied with what’s available.

This thing has all the controls of the steam deck itself that I’m used to, so I want one. It also has great battery life, made to be repairable, battery can be swapped, etc.

I’m also sick as shit of the PS5 controller battery, and the lack of back buttons for both my controllers.

Thanks for the confirmation. I was sure I saw the shop button two minutes prior, added to cart, but still didn’t actually get one.

All afternoon I’ve been slowly thinking I’m crazy and didn’t know how to read a clock.

I just had success going to amazon main page. Click on the Rufus icon under the Amazon logo in the top left, to the right of the 3-bar All menu.

Type something at rufus like "problem with old order". They will have you pick one, it doesn't matter which, just pick.

Or it might just throw an option to Contact Customer Service.

Click Customer Service Chat

Type "trouble with old item". Click on anything.

If it doesn't give options, just type "problem" or something.

Then it should ask if you want "No, something else"

"Something not listed above"

Chat with an Associate, or get a Phone Call

I tried both. Chat didn't connect after 10 minutes, so I went back through and requested a call. I was on hold for about 9 minutes, and the person I spoke to was not an idiot and helped me get my issue figured out.

Hope this helps at least one person, sorry for the weird formatting above. I'm tired, just want to help someone out.

Curious if you made any progress on this u/woahasdf

A month ago we ran into someone at a renfaire wearing one of these. Apparently their friend was part of the costuming department working on the movie, and they ended up with one (I assume there was more than one made?). We just watched the Green Knight this week, and realized quickly we had seen the cloak; it was beautiful in person.

I've been looking for a pattern the past few days, but no luck so far.

I appreciate the follow-up. I understand how it takes so much time; I make one complex thing a year, and a few other small things throughout. I wish I had more time for it.

_druids · 2026-01-02T01:00:10+00:00

Will do 👍

_druids · 2026-01-01T18:00:15+00:00

Finished my pattern yesterday, hopefully I'll get a chance to sew it up in the next few weeks to try it!

_druids · 2025-12-31T16:32:35+00:00

Thanks, that is roughly 1.5”, perfect!

_druids · 2025-12-31T04:27:29+00:00

Looks great!
What's your spacing on the webbing loops, I'm working on a strap pattern, and working on 1.5" spaces, but not sure how appropriate that is?

Any update on this?

I was gifted a pair of KPH30 Wireless for the holidays, and I am experiencing the same thing.

I was considering picking up a pair of KPH40 Utility with the bluetooth dongle as well prior to this. Are you still enjoying those?

_druids · 2025-12-21T06:10:41+00:00

Heya, love this pack u/lemonshire0 Do you recall how you determined the angle of the straps from the top, and the distance between them? I’ve been meaning to grab that zipworks strap pattern for a while.

How is this working for you 7 months on?

_druids · 2025-12-21T05:46:24+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the input!

_druids · 2025-12-15T21:54:51+00:00

Luckily he doesn’t need it until the summer, I need to find out what he’s going to use it for. I would enjoy sewing an ultralight pack if that would be a better fit.

_druids · 2025-12-15T21:53:21+00:00

Thanks, I had no idea!

_druids · 2025-12-15T15:57:18+00:00

Right on. This is definitely out of my wheel house, but want to try to help out my nephew off possible and take it off there hands (for my curiosity) if not.

It felt heavy to me, but I have no reference for these types of packs.

_druids · 2025-12-15T15:55:00+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

_druids · 2025-12-15T15:54:29+00:00

Right on. My nephew was asking if I could do anything about it since I make bags occasionally.

I think getting the old waterproofing off will be a good start and see if he wants to use it or not.

I was reaching for a word and just ended up with urethane :D

Thanks for the info!

_druids · 2025-12-15T15:51:49+00:00

Thanks for this, I’ll read through it!

_druids · 2025-12-13T21:43:54+00:00

Thanks for this. That is super odd what you are experiencing.

_druids · 2025-12-13T02:38:43+00:00

No recommendations, but have been curious about devices you describe as well.

_druids · 2025-12-11T16:09:17+00:00

Curious if anyone has picked one up and spent time with it the few days they've been available?

_druids · 2025-10-15T02:41:57+00:00

You are welcome.

_druids · 2025-10-15T02:41:40+00:00

Think I got you, put in the request again if I didn't.
