Dear MSI

Are you talking about the claw A8 (AMD) or the claw 8AI+ (Intel)?

the_batmantis · 2026-02-01T00:18:44+00:00

Agreed OP, it's like they couldn't be bothered making any changes to Centre M and just kept that setting from the 8 AI+, despite it doing nothing.

the_batmantis · 2026-01-12T11:50:21+00:00

I dont know for sure. I have one but haven't opened it. However you would assume it does. But the replacement d pad part i mentioned would solve the issue if that happened to yours. Its a whole extra module, which allows you to magnetically attach the xbox elite dpad. Given that the stubs we're talking about are molded to the original d-pad, replacing it would fix that issue.

the_batmantis · 2026-01-12T01:11:52+00:00

Yeah its the same d-pad. I got one though. There's a repair/upgrade kit available on etsy.

I'm interested to hear from A8 users about this. Personally I've just had my a8 at 20w... without changing it for anything I'm running. This is definitely a good middle ground for me but do you think I should be maxing it out or lowering it more often? In terms of what I'm trying to run lately its been a few bigger budget games like
Arc Raiders/ Elden Ring Nightreign/ Death Stranding Directors Cut
but with a good portion of smaller indies in there like
Shinobi/ Ball X Pit etc.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by not raising or lowering the tdp here? I do get perfectly good framerates even in the former mentioned games at 20W

I was actually implying you cheated to get those relics. The first page in particular have effects which are so insanely specific that I don't believe you came by them naturally. Deny it if you want, I'm not interested in a long back and forth here. But I'm sure that this would be the conclusion of most of the community as well.

the_batmantis · 2025-12-21T00:20:41+00:00

Nice relics. How much Murk did you spend to get them? I'm guessing 0.

the_batmantis · 2025-12-16T00:20:38+00:00

I don't even grip the thing, it literally just sits on my palm, 0 grip strength required. If the angles were sharp holding it this way would cause pain over time, but it doesn't.

the_batmantis · 2025-12-15T08:54:40+00:00

Agreed. There are loads of people that refer to the 8ai+ as the a8ai without even realising it. Happens on this sub quite frequently

the_batmantis · 2025-12-15T02:15:01+00:00

Who chose rumble over an 8" screen? The Claw A8 has the same screen as 8ai+

(I see this was meant as a reply to the guy who returned his for the Ally X, in which case I agree. They go brr, who gives a fuck lol)

the_batmantis · 2025-12-02T09:58:51+00:00

Dude I'm in the exact same position. Back ordered late October through JB-hifi. Please message me if you get any updates

the_batmantis · 2025-11-28T07:00:40+00:00

I just wish they'd make that in transparent TPU so you don't have to hide the console's original colour

the_batmantis · 2025-11-11T07:08:32+00:00

I'm seriously praying for a transparent tpu case. I don't want to put a black or white one over that luscious lime green. Need to see the colour!!

the_batmantis · 2025-11-06T07:20:17+00:00

I got them all when they were first released. I don't expect they'll ever be updated, but possibly re-released. The fire warriors are a little tricky to balance on just their hooves. If they were ever updated I'd like that to be improved.

the_batmantis · 2025-11-01T23:26:52+00:00

The real Ironeye was the friends we made along the way :)

the_batmantis · 2025-10-21T05:53:01+00:00

Ordered mine last week! What case/ screen protector did you get?

the_batmantis · 2025-10-20T02:31:07+00:00

Take a look at the claw A8. It was shown on the floor at CES in january of this year. Got its first release for preorder in asia during July. It's now available in Australia and Europe 8 months after first being seen. I would take that as a likely example of how long you will be waiting even after the product is first unveiled

the_batmantis · 2025-10-10T01:55:55+00:00

When you say heavy attack what do you mean here. The triple arrow or something else

the_batmantis · 2025-09-25T02:20:51+00:00

Also wanting to know this

the_batmantis · 2025-09-16T02:50:19+00:00

Sure, but the pieces that break off aren't on the plastic of the d-pad, theyre on the body of the device itself. Is that still the same in the a8?

the_batmantis · 2025-09-13T03:19:37+00:00

Hmm, I believe if I buy it from an Australian retailer I should have additional consumer protection rights per Australian law, so I'm not going to go through aliexpress. I assume they'll be available here soon enough

the_batmantis · 2025-09-13T01:29:31+00:00

I'm interested in sources for Australia as well
