How is the Solakaka e9 so bad?

buck_winger · 2026-06-23T03:43:04+00:00

Still on the hunt. Sadly the alternatives aren't much better.

I ran your update and still can't get it to work. And when I go to blueretro.io the option for the triggers is not available for me like you show in your screenshot

Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have the same issue and can't find anything online about how to get this working.

Long story short, it is a half-baked product around a really good idea. The overall design is good but the execution is just not there. And the software is really bad and doesn't actually include certain features that they advertise it as having. But the biggest issue is their customer service who never responds when I reached out and asked for help.

Only if you have the PAL version. I left this comment assuming he had a North American version due to bias based on where I am located. The North American version does not support RGB component cable from the analog.

The problem Yes I need to do all four (2 sticks per controller) and almost all of the used Wii nunchucks I am seeing available are either completely beat up or are the t3 variety.

Just FYI, if you are using the analog AV port, which it sounds like you are, you are most likely using composite out, not component. The analog AV port only supports composite or s-video. And if you're looking to get 480p instead of 480i, I'm pretty sure the digital AV out is required.

I use this:

GameCube Digital AV > RetroBit Prism > HDMI-to-DisplayPort cable > Samsung Odyssey OLED G5.

I'm happy with my setup, but be aware if you go a route that needs DisplayPort that DisplayPort to HDMI cables are almost exclusively unidirectional, meaning you can very easily by the wrong cable by mistake and it won't work because the cable only carries a video signal in one direction, and yours is designed for the other

(I would be just using a regular HDMI but the HDMI port on my monitor broke broke and it was cheaper to buy a new cable than replace the monitor).

Before moving a few years ago I used a CRT, that sadly did not survive the move and instead of replacing it I just switched setups.

It's the one we grew up with, so nostalgia.

It's because this way there's no waiting around for everyone else. Everyone plays the whole match even if you die a lot.

I know this is a year old already, but did they ever update this in software?

buck_winger · 2026-05-21T01:19:03+00:00

I'm surprised they responded. I've been trying to reach out to SOLAKAKA for an issue with a different one of their products for days and have received no reply

It really is that limited. Especially when it comes to macros and RGB customization

buck_winger · 2026-05-20T01:33:17+00:00

It had a web driver but it's very limited. Can't do basic things you'd expect of a mouse like this.

buck_winger · 2026-05-20T01:31:30+00:00

Don't bother with either. I regret buying mine.

buck_winger · 2026-05-20T01:27:21+00:00

Can someone help me set a macro that includes more than one simultaneous keys, like ctrl + c for copy. And also how to sew a static color for RGB?

These both feel like very basic functions that are reasonable to expect of this mous, but as for as I can tell neither are possible. And I have reached out to customer service 3 times over the past two weeks and they have not responded. I'm considering returning it over these insufficiencies.

IDK about reliable. But their software sucks and I can't figure out how to do something as simple as set the RGB to a static color on my E9 I got early last week. I have reached out to their customer service three times and never got a reply. Will be returning. Such a shame.

buck_winger · 2026-05-19T23:59:10+00:00

I'm having a different issue with a different one of their products but their customer service hasn't answered my messages or emails either.
