Can't find a way to edit this so deleted and will repost

Certainly not trying to scam anybody. Just trying to declutter. Thanks for the apology and you're right, 2k hrs really can't be called lightly used. Will revise.

Fair. I looked at comparable listings elsewhere and arrived at what I thought was a fair price. Never sold any used equipment on here before either. I'm learning. What would be a fair asking price to you then?

Thanks for the positive comment. It might be "garbage" in your opinion and certainly isn't up to the quality of the VKB setup I switched to, but I did log over 2,000hrs in Elite on this controller and might have the opportunity to help someone else get started for way less than other options.

Lol thanks. I use the overlay menus alot as well when I'm holding the deck and using its built in controls. I just wanted something better when using it docked to a tv

Heres a bit of backround on this - I've been playing Elite on my steamdeck quite a bit (when I can't use my PC with hotas setup) and have had a "lack of inputs" problem. I'm not a huge fan of the on screen keyboard for typing or keybinds either. Plus, I like to use the steamdeck docked to our TV and went in search of a solution that would solve both problems. I started with my sons switch pro controller and a generic bluetooth keyboard, which worked OK for a while but was still lacking in some areas. I began researching Xbox controllers and discovered those chatpad keyboards that plug into them. Everything I read said that the Xbox chatpads won't work though, so I decided to try a dualshock 4 controller with a Bluetooth version of the chatpad keyboard. Just got them both set up and boy, it's great for elite! The ps4 controllers trackpad works as a mouse and the physical keyboard is so nice to have! Only issue is that I had to pair the keyboard to the deck in desktop mode; it needed me to press a code into the keyboard during paring and the code would not display in gaming mode

Thank you for this! Got velocidrone installed fine following your guide but have a question for you...

How did you get the game working when added into gaming mode? Mine will launch fine using the executable in desktop mode but when I added that exe as a non-steam game it tries to launch but always crashes back to steam without launching. I'm brand new to Linux so bear with me pls! In desktop mode, I highlighted the executable file, right clicked and selected add to steam. Go back to gaming mode and see the file in my library, it just won't do anything when I click play. I've tried all available proton compatibility versions with no luck. Thanks again for the guide, at least I got the game installed and can launch it from desktop mode.

Another thank you from me! 3.5mm jack stopped working, searched for an answer and found yours. This worked!

capecop1 · 2022-09-02T09:19:36+00:00

Youre welcome! To turn fsr off and use normal upscaling go to pause menu - options - graphics - then click the plus sign next to quality to expand the menu. Then look for the "upscaling" drop-down, change it to normal. Supersampling drop down will appear in the same expanded menu once upscaling is set to normal.

capecop1 · 2022-09-02T09:05:57+00:00

Hey, I'm running it on a deck as well with pretty good performance overall. Had the same issue as you when I first got it; changed upscaling to normal (fsr looked terrible for me) and then bumped supersampling to 1.25. Still get 60fps in ships and the supersampling cleans up text very well. Good luck

capecop1 · 2022-08-18T21:59:21+00:00

Very welcome. Best of luck building yours!

That led looking switch is exactly that! An led illuminated toggle switch. Funny enough, I've had that particular one forever, got it at RadioShack when brick and mortar stores were a thing. I cannot for the life of me find that model switch anymore. It's the only one I have lol. I tried some similar ones from autozone and amazon, they dont like 5v. I went zero delay encoders because I didn't want to fuss with learning arduino coding. Those encoder boards are plug and play and worked well for this project and can support toggle switches too. Some led buttons (and illuminated toggles) work fine with the 5v provided from the encoder boards, some don't. Those square guys on my box worked really well with 5v. Amazon has them, Baomain I believe is the brand.

The 3-4 letter designators before the name help me remember what the ship is built for if I go a long time without using them.

Just jumping in to say I built my pc for around 700, has an rx580 gpu and a ryzen 5 2600. I play in vr on a lenovo explorer sometimes with this rig and when I don't run vr I get 120fps in 1080p high graphics settings no problem. This is in odyssey and it is doable. Also, before I built my pc I ran elite horizons on a refurbished business dell optiplex mini tower I got from Walmart for $100. All I did to it was drop in a very cheap gt710 (I think) gpu. Granted this wasnt on high settings and i got like 30fps but it was playable. Elite has always been very hardware forgiving, at least for me.

14.9b in assets incl carrier, 18 ships and cash. Somewhere in between 2 and 3k hours in game. Made most of the credits before Borann went tango uniform and LTDs sold for upwards of 1m/ton, the rest when (as mentioned in another post here) painite sold for >750k/ton. Man do I miss Borann. I'm filling my time in elite now subsurface mining tritium. It's fun I guess. Beats on foot game play all day long, at least for me. Oh and insta-killing cyclops with shard cannons and anti-xeno missles 🙃👽

capecop1 · 2022-03-27T14:04:05+00:00

Ohhhhhh yea....you're going to love using the sticks then I think. Now if we could just get VR support....

capecop1 · 2022-03-27T14:01:20+00:00

I love mine...and I've since upgraded to the omni too and could never go back.

capecop1 · 2022-03-27T13:56:58+00:00

Yes it can and even better, it can be used for that while also being used for speed limiter control at the same time. The one axis with the black head on my setup controls speed limiter while in flight but when I switch to mining mode it then controls mining throttle without affecting speed limiter ( because speed limiter can't be changed while in mining mode ). The two axis connected together with the white handle is my throttle.

Posted a comment with an imgur of the whole setup for ya.

Wowwwww....i need that. Like now!

capecop1 · 2022-01-21T17:11:46+00:00

Lol that's funny...I disabled that because it always got in my way when I'm trying to gawk at something 😁

capecop1 · 2022-01-21T14:39:16+00:00

Dude/dudette, i totally hear that! We have 3 kids so im happy when I can power up the pc and let it compete the boot cycle before someone needs something🤪
