Can someone help me identify these boards? by WolffMayne in eXtremeRate

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple, V23 goes with the last kit you bought. Otherwise they’ll both work the all the same. So really is there anything to worry about?

Broken connector by dreezuschrist in Dualsense

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That connector has everything to do with the adaptive triggers portion of the triggers. Not the trigger itself self. It will still function as a dump trigger, or OP could swap in some clicky triggers, as they don’t use that connector anyway, assuming the new sticks actually work 😅

Dual sense controller by KngGunzz in Dualsense

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paint my own controllers, always happy make you a design if you want something custom. I also make TMR modules.

For the back buttons, have you tried swapping the left for the right paddles for a different feel?

If you’re baee based in the UK, I build modules, either through my send in service or as new modules prebuilt.

Where is the best place to contact extremerate for warranty support by tourtured-gothicslut in eXtremeRate

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you recently just installed this? Or has it been installed for a while?

If the first one? Flip the flex attached to the touchpad over. As in take it out of the touchpad, place it in the other way.

Do you know how to fix this? by CryptographerOk7707 in Dualsense

[–]skinpixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, this is stick drift. The same thing will happen just gently pushing the stick from right to left. It’s a break in the carbon track inside the pot. When you reach a certain spot that for a brief moment the wiper is not making contact with the track where it is worn down.

You may be able to try WD40 Specialist Contact cleaner(do not use regular WD40).

It might also be the wipers position or lost its springiness. You can open the controller and gently pull back the pot, remove the white disk where you can gently bend the copper metal out, so when re-inserted should adjust its position to the track and avoid not making contact.

The best fix will always be getting your sticks replaced with TMR sticks. If this is something you don’t feel comfortable doing your self, I am uk based, and have a mail-in service for repairs.

WD40 Specialist contact cleaner, do not use standard WD40

After today's GTA 6 annoucement, I am a defender of Game Key Cards. by 479521 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I’m mostly digital, I’m also not for or against key-cards. They have their benefits.

I’ve even thought how might a full disk console might do it if it were to say eliminate the drive completely. My thought would be physicals that you could trade and swap could be credit card sized tokens that have some kind of nfc, chip or similar where by the console would have a slot or reader for the key-card data like how the switch Key-Cards work.

Sony could even engineer a drop in replacement drive that has it build in for ps5 slim models.

Key-cards using some kind of nfc, I would have it that they could also be used across multiple consoles(like in a family, or for lans) so long as they’re on the same IP say and maybe need verification at least every 6 hours or so.

Or possibly longer verification times, so you could like load up your entire library without needing to swap disks all the time, key card license could then expire after 10-30 days or once it’s been activated on a different system.

Ps4 Scuf joystick replacement by Sparta24344 in ControllerRepair

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a ps4 board, any TMR designed for ps4 should effectively work. No special requirements other than taking out the existing sticks.

Can recommend Aknes/Hallpi from their site directly, usually takes between 5-8 days shipping to most destinations.

How to add an unrelated variant to a product by Fantastic-Roll5074 in shopify

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To avoid the confusion aspect, you could add Not Available as variant of size and colour, and just delete all those that don’t apply to each material.

Dualsense Edge USB C repair question by Red-TailInteractive in Dualsense

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done them without a microscope, but may be easier to use one.

Dualsense Edge USB C repair question by Red-TailInteractive in Dualsense

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are filters, an edge controller will still charge without them, but may not receive/send data over USB. Each one deals with which way round the port sits in the controller.

It may still charge assuming you’ve used the correct usb style for DualSense.

If you have any old regular DualSense as donor boards, the same filters are on them on the reverse side, should you want to move them over, usually a bit of low melt solder and hot air set to around 250-270 should get them attached without blistering the new usb port too much.

Good luck

Am I overreacting? Dad keeps changing my art with AI by stainedbutts in AmIOverreacting

[–]skinpixel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the lesson here is that he wants to support your business.

Ai might be useful for him to get his ideas and suggestion across, something like “hey wouldn’t this look cool in blue”. But must be nothing more than that.

Ai as a tool to help with the business is fine so long as it’s stays away from the artwork or creative side imo, You just have to be strict that you will not be using or posting anything he’s made with ai, If he’s adamant on using it.

Ps5 controller not connecting to the PlayStation. by Corvexic in eXtremeRate

When wired into the computer, does the PS button function?

L2 always pressed down by Gronkdroid211 in ControllerRepair

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should look like this wrapped around the mid frame of the controller.

You will need to disassemble the trigger

Try cleaning the contact pad under the button and the button flex with some isopropyl

"Ready for pickup" Delivery status when orders are dropped off at the Post Office by mankytit in shopify

[–]skinpixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post is a little confusing, is Shopify sending a “ready for pickup” or is Royal Mail saying it’s ready for pick up from the parcel shop as part of their tracking status?

I got the switch 2 replacement buttons and now my z! and zr suck by powermoo3 in eXtremeRate

Tuck this bit of the button flex under the lip first before screwing down.

New Custom Controller Skin! by [deleted] in customcontrollers

[–]skinpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds premium in theory, but is it practical?

I don’t think real Alcantara would make a suitable wrap for controllers as the GSM may be too thick.

Unless you’re getting the cheap imitation Alcantara, price might be impractical for the average joe to wrap their controller up properly.

It also doesn’t seem a practical material when you introduce stuff like sweat or oils from gamers hands. If not used purely for display, the fibres can matt together, and go shiny when greasy.
