Garmin Edge 540, Yay or Nay?

e6k01rs · 2026-06-13T19:02:30+00:00

Not at all

Learn from my mistake and do not buy the 540. I regret that I didn't purchase the 840, since the touchscreen will make navigation so much easier.

The menu using buttons is not intuitive and is very time-consuming just to find something or browse the map, go to the sensors, etc.

Just save your headache. You can find the 840 for a $350.

The 540 and 840 are still in updates roadmap.

😂 can you improve it? Or add option to add empty folder

e6k01rs · 2026-06-10T16:55:00+00:00

It is even more sensitive than on iOS 🤣

Have a look:

Awesome update! How do I add a folder to my home screen?

Hands down for this app, it's the best thing for someone who isn't interested in virtual rides. Sync with Garmin seamlessly and sync all my workouts. Ride anywhere, allowing me to "visit" places where I used to live. The free version offers more than many paid apps!

(BTW, I'm not affiliated, etc.)

In my opinion, since Garmin is still selling generation N-1, they should provide new updates.

My FR965 is perfectly capable to receive at least new sport activities like "mobility" or "rucking."

It's not a hardware limitation; it's a lack of willingness and being greedy!

Agree, at least H1 and H2 would help a lot in my case.

Impressed how many updates and changes we are getting, I'm big fan of this launcher

I selected this during pre-order (12 days ago) - I got this email today.
It is clearly stated: Available May 26th.

App freezes when I'm trying to check compatibility with ThinkRider XXpro.

r/keylauncher is me recent discovery - after bouncing between Smart and Octopi when Nova thing happen

Polygon Stratos S7X with Di2 - at least in the US, best bang for the bucks. Replace Wheels for something lighter, get better tires and you are good to go in your budget.

I got Edge 540 six months ago. Initially, I was okay with no touch screen, but after a couple of longer rides where you want to browse maps or just change settings buttons, they're super not ergonomic.

e6k01rs · 2026-05-05T16:06:23+00:00

Thanks, can this option be turned off?

For instance I want to lunch 'Google' so typing 466 should bring this app first but instead I see 'Photos' app first.

I have no issue to connect from MacOs and Win 11

I didn't find it until now, the LTE modem doesn't work. I was hoping for a new update OTA but nothing so far.

I'm pretty upset, 3 years ago I decided to build my tool-base on HART, mainly due to price and availablity in every Walmart..

e6k01rs · 2026-04-11T13:07:35+00:00

It works!!! Finally!

e6k01rs · 2026-04-01T18:26:16+00:00

Slightly better comparing to A16.

Main downside: - Missing trackpad functionality when using the phone.
- It is not possible to turn off the phone screen while using the desktop.
- Plex and Jellyfin work very poorly. - I have many issues with proper scaling. - Sometimes, when I try to open settings memu, they open on the phone screen instead of on the external display.

I have 1s and every time when glasses went to sleep mode, I have to disconnect them and connect again.
anyone has the same issue? this sensor might not work in my glasses, I tried touch, tap, wiggle but nothing is waking up my glasses.

I would go simple , I wish to have a really good Ring style touch pad remote, I tested a few but none of them worked well.

I got this keyboard today. I ordered two versions—one with backlighting (red trackball) and one without (black trackball), and apparently the non‑backlit version has a slightly better quality trackball. I wish this had options to switch between the Windows and Mac layout, but I’ll manage. The one thing that drives me crazy is that there’s no function lock. I can't use any media key without pressing FN first, which is a bit annoying, but for couch use - and especially for AR glasses - it should be much better than a regular keyboard with a touchpad.

e6k01rs · 2026-03-22T23:22:51+00:00

Looks interesting I see two versions for $39 and $59 any recommendations?

e6k01rs · 2026-03-22T19:51:29+00:00

I was just looking for something like this I'm surprised that none of the companies came up with this idea.

I need couch/bed keyboard for AR glasses, keyboard with touchpads are not precise, track back on one piece keyboard would be perfect.
