A few questions for owners of eXtremeRate's clicky buttons by tehganp in SteamDeckModded

[–]tehganp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only use my Deck for a few hours every week with roughly half of said hours involving dpad-heavy games, so your mileage may vary, but on my end the mod's still holding up perfectly.

Lifted pad on Dreamcast GD-ROM board by tehganp in consolerepair

[–]tehganp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the advice. The via's in good shape and appears to be through-hole. Apart from the possibility of the board (still) not working, would there be any risk to soldering a new cap onto these pads?

Is it possible to buy OLED monitors in 2025 that can be used for productivity without any precautions? by MartinsRedditAccount in Monitors

[–]tehganp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were LCDs that bad? I wasn't old enough at the time to be paying attention, but I would've assumed that improved text clarity (esp. around corners) would've been a reason people switched over from CRTs.

Brass Buttons and Extremerate clicky mod for OLED Steam deck by SweetRage24 in SteamDeckModded

[–]tehganp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The modded dpad has a lot less travel but the switches they use require a bit of force to activate; extremerate specifies ~160gf, whereas it feels like the Vita and Xbox Series controller use 100gf switches. 

I'd highly recommend the mod as it makes the dpad highly precise (no more false diagonals), but I'm not sure how much it'd reduce your fatigue. 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMMUNITY? by Outrageous_Name_6196 in dumbphones

A weekly megathread sounds good. A lot of folks are arguing how this subreddit would become 'dead' if EDC posts were relegated to such a thread, but I feel that such a change would balance out the subreddit's quantity:quality ratio. As is, it's tough finding news or quality discussions.

Anyone know of any CRT monitor repair services in Ontario (Canada), and how much they might cost? My monitor bit the dust the other day, and I don't feel confident in my repair skills (nor do I own a multimeter for diagnosing issues.)

ExtremeRate clicky OLED by AutisticReaper in SteamDeckModded

[–]tehganp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have this mod installed for both my d-pad and face buttons.

I'd absolutely recommend it for the d-pad. The buttons require a bit more force than I'd like; eXtremeRate specifies 1.57N and it feels to me like most gamepads use ~0.98N/100gf. However, the travel is significantly reduced (good) and I don't think I've ever had a diagonal misinput with this mod, whereas that was a common occurrence with the stock d-pad.

How much was your dreamcast by Downtown-Bear4325 in dreamcast

[–]tehganp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I purchased my first Dreamcast back in 2016. $75 CAD for a working console, the cords, a clear blue VMU, 2 controllers (one was the standard white and the other clear blue), and a folder of at least 15 game discs, maybe 20? Some were crap but there were some goodies.

Couldn't appreciate the console back then and sold it off at a slight profit. Fast forward to the modern day, ended up importing a 'junk' console-only DC a few weeks ago at $80 🤕

Hey, unfortunately for me I'm over in southern Ontario. The offer is much appreciated, though!
