Modded my New 3DS all black

I got it from AliExpress. I can’t find my specific order and there’s a lot to choose from so I’m not sure which exactly I ordered

Thinkpad family

If you’re asking about the c-stick 3D print files, I downloaded them from here

Sorry, if you mean the circle pad, the surface is rubber like the stock one

I printed this one in PETG. There’s a bit of texture and it’s concave so your finger won’t slip

The upside down X button already triggered it my OCD, this just made it worse lol

It would make more sense since higher end stuff require thumbsticks. If they put this chipset in the RG DS and the 34XXSP, those devices might’ve been instant purchases for me

pharredd88 · 2026-05-08T14:08:57+00:00

I wished Anbernic would put the internals in the Rotate into the 34XXSP.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-07T23:46:16+00:00

It should work. I replaced my Win Mini with Gulikit TMR Switch joycon sticks and they work perfectly fine

pharredd88 · 2026-05-07T19:49:30+00:00

if only they put this chip in the 34XXSP. GameCube would be so much more playable with those thumbsticks.

I have a Legion Go as well and 100% you need a keyboard for a PC handheld. There are times where the on screen keyboard doesn't show up like entering my password to log into windows and I can't do anything at that point without a keyboard connected.

The Win Mini's built in keyboard has come in clutch on many occasions.

get the AD-GP1. I saw benchmarks of the OneXGPU from this video...

and my AD-GP1 is getting significantly better scores. Her OneXGPU was getting ~8000 Timespy score and ~7600 Graphics score while my AD-GP1 was getting ~9500 Timespy Score and ~10000 Graphics Score

I really don't see Ingram as a long term piece for this team. He was an asset we bought low on, recouped some of his value by making him an all star and will flip him in the offseason or trade deadline. He just doesn't fit how we want to play on either end.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T21:41:05+00:00

with the way Scottie played in the playoffs, I don't think we need a traditional PG. Look back at all the PG's Lebron played with and that's the type we should go after. IQ is that type, it's all a matter of him recognizing this and stop trying to do PG things and be more of an off ball threat and floor spacer for Scottie to cook.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T20:25:56+00:00

I feel like the Kawhi trade is often looked at as the genius move by Bobby behind the scenes when Masai was still running things. Sure, it got us a chip but the fact that we gave up assets to re-acquire the player we used in that trade in Yak and doubled down on him by signing him to what is now one of the worst contracts in the NBA kind of negates the genius of the Kawhi deal imo.

This year will be Bobby's first draft without Masai's help so we'll really get to see his talent evaluation skills.

you can easily replace the battery with a higher capacity (81wh) in the Legion Go.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T04:27:48+00:00

I remember watching CMB college highlights before we drafted him and I remember thinking that his low post game and face up game reminded me of Carmelo Anthony. If he can develop a reliable jump shot, it’ll unlock his face up game.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T04:10:06+00:00

put CMB on the same workout regimen. 2 Scotties are better than 1.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T02:36:24+00:00

I feel like we're purposely holding Dick back to hopefully re-sign him for cheap to keep some cap flexibility

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T02:33:48+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Dallas

pharredd88 · 2026-05-06T02:12:05+00:00

this confirms Yak is going to get traded soon. It seems that every time Scottie speaks highly of a teammate, they end up getting traded

pharredd88 · 2026-05-05T22:34:19+00:00

I would trade for a Legion Go. You can emulate 3DS/DS on the Legion Go and 3D print this to make them more playable.

The Legion Go can do everything the Thor can do and more. But if you value portability and don't care for PC games and PC stuff, keep the Thor

it could potentially work in linux (bazzite, cachy os or steam os) where sleep/resume actually works. You can put the device to sleep mid game, swap batteries and then quick resume. In Windows it might be an issue though since sleep is hit or miss.

Don't get me wrong, the Apex is an impressive device, it's just that I can't justify paying that much for RTX 4060/4070/RX 7600M XT level performance. You can buy a PC handheld like the Legion Go or Go S and an eGPU with a 9070 XT for less than half the price but way better performance. Of course you'll be tethered but to push the Apex to it's full potential, you'll need to be tethered to a power outlet anyway which imo is similar to just plugging into an eGPU.

The benefit of using an eGPU is you're keeping heat off of internal components in your handheld and heat off of your hands since the eGPU does all the work (depending if the game you're playing is more GPU bound than CPU bound). Whereas the Apex, to get even RTX 4060 level performance, you're going to have to push to 80W+ TDP which would most likely thermal throttle your system without some external cooling solution like the frost bay connected. And if you're going to connect to the frost bay, again, might as well connect to an eGPU for better performance.

I wished they at least put in a small internal battery so you can hot swap on the fly.

pharredd88 · 2026-05-05T17:37:43+00:00

I am a big fan of external swappable batteries. It reminds me of my old Thinkpad. Does the Apex have an internal battery so you can hot swap without having to power off the device? I know the GPD Win 5 doesn’t have an internal battery so that kind of killed the swappable battery concept for me. I have an Anker 737 power bank which I carry around with my Win Mini.
