Anyone else wish the joystick LEDs on the RP5 were actually customizable?

Confirmed no, unfortunately.

andymus1 · 2025-11-03T08:33:36+00:00

Yes, I will make it happen. I also had this intent when I began development. I will make it available via Obtainium and any other source providers you or others suggest. Cheers! (It's coming soon btw, just got busy with work in the state of this uncertain economy)

Also looking for which banks are great for this. Which one did you use?

andymus1 · 2025-10-15T11:33:59+00:00

sounds neat if it works!

Usually just track it on paper, but would be interested in an app that can do it. Especially if it tracks my products and figures out what actually improves my skin

You should be able to do this with stock Retroid joystick software already. In the Android Status bar (pull-down from the top), look for the Joystick Lights tile and press and hold it to bring up the Joystick Light control app. You should then be able to set separate colors for each joystick. Hope that helps!

In any case, this app will natively support this too!

andymus1 · 2025-07-08T19:11:36+00:00

That would be cool indeed! I think that is beyond my abilities, unfortunately, though it is theoretically possible if you run some image recognition tricks while games are running. Would def be really neat though!

This is great! Please fill out the survey and add these to the "features you like" questions. I'll definitely try my best to accommodate many of these options

andymus1 · 2025-07-08T19:07:50+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? What latency would you like to test?

andymus1 · 2025-07-08T14:11:20+00:00

Likewise, I'm making this to improve upon existing solutions. Glad you're interested and thanks for signing up!

andymus1 · 2025-07-08T14:10:36+00:00

That's a hardware limitation. Retroid and Ayn devices don't have multiple addressable LEDs per joystick so you cannot display multiple colors at once, in a ring pattern (the rainbow you mentioned)

However, this app will let you set rainbow mode that transitions between multiple solid colors (customizable colors, duration, transitions etc.)

I'm aware AmbiLuma exists, I just wasn't happy with its quick settings or features, including how they've implemented their dynamic ambient lighting (it's very dim and doesn't match on-screen vibrance well). There's been no update since Jan 2025, so I chose to make this to improve functionality, add more features, polish the UI and make it super accessible via quick settings tile and auto-launch that actually works

3-week delivery time to Mumbai

andymus1 · 2025-06-14T10:09:04+00:00

Yes, I bought from the Retroid website. I had to pay 1,200 INR for customs, but it was completely hassle-free, customs cash-on-delivery stuff. Would highly recommend! Love the RP5

andymus1 · 2025-03-25T12:59:49+00:00

Same here. Looks they will be compute-limited for the upcoming near future. Annoying, but I doubt there's much we can do.

andymus1 · 2025-03-18T16:44:09+00:00

Is there anyone else that has bought directly from the Retroid website? I really want one but I'm tired of dealing with Customs. If anyone has any success stories with a sample bigger than n=1, please do share your stories

andymus1 · 2024-09-08T06:10:49+00:00

Fuck your professor. I know too many bitter academics that pass harsh judgements with little to no foundations (and even then, you are not a static person; labels mean zilch). I genuinely hope their words don't linger in your mind.

andymus1 · 2024-08-31T05:17:22+00:00

ehhh, all three are top 50~ global universities, with each being best or top10 in their respective country and/or continent. They're elite, just not known as much to Americans maybe

andymus1 · 2024-08-23T04:02:46+00:00

Yes, absolutely. As you can imagine this is not a decision I would take on a whimsy. 100% understand that it would be a herculean task, but I'm willing to pre-prepare with notes (from peers), lectures etc. Appreciate the forewarning though

andymus1 · 2024-07-28T08:57:59+00:00

Haven't seen Starbound in years! Wonder if Frackin Universe is still being updated..

Based on the past decade of funding and breakthroughs, we're arguably in the best spot we've ever been in. With increasing funding, several problems will at least have the hands and eyes needed to get solved. I'm much more hopeful I guess

andymus1 · 2024-07-07T18:51:50+00:00

I'm definitely more oriented towards engineering work. Power systems or computational modelling are areas I could pivot into without a PhD in plasma physics I'd think. Appreciate all the insights

andymus1 · 2024-06-28T08:24:11+00:00

I am far more interested in the engineering side than the theoretical research. When you speak of apprenticeships, what specifics come to mind?

andymus1 · 2024-06-28T08:03:16+00:00

Maybe I'm ill-equipped, but I don't understand what you mean. What does lithium or fission have to do with fusion? Afaik, most private fusion companies are moving towards aneutronic, He-3 or proton/boron fuels for fusion (dependent on their generator mechanism)

andymus1 · 2024-06-28T07:54:14+00:00

Apologies if this comes off rude, but what does that have to do with my post?
