Here from a Framework re-tweet! I can see a lot of effort & thought went into this Framework-based handheld, well done!
I have spent an absurb amount of hours so far, and it isn't quite finished yet! Lol
@@TommyBee456 very few home projects are ever "done" 😉 :p
@@boneappletee6416 As someone who makes his own productivity tools, I can confirm...
Not sure if I've actually saved myself more time than I spent on making the tools, but the making was way more fun than the mindless crap I was automating lol.
@@TommyBee456 needs a slide-down keyboard
Mechanical switches as face buttons are really underrated. Glad to see other people working on this idea too!
They're good, but as someone who used a lot of gamepad with switches like this I think that membrane is still better for handhelds since it's not as clicky and won't be as much of a pain when playing in public or at night in your bed.
@@TakisEnjoyer you know there's silent switches right? and a bit of lube, you basically get the best switches for this thing
@@Saji_0 there are, but I'm yet to encounter any mechanical controller that is not extremely clicky, would love to see them doing something about this if this is the future we're going for
@@TakisEnjoyer there are mechanical switches that are both silent and have no tactile bump. Now I'd argue if you dislike both those features then mechanical switches are probably not for you 😅. When i built my framework handheld, using mechanical switches also provided the option to make them hot swappable, so swapping out the switch for a more tactile one, or a more quiet one would be possible. Essentially you're able to customize it to your likings, as opposed to just settling for what the manufacturer decided to use.
The other benefit is repairability. With switches that you can replace on the fly, if anything were to stop working, it would be very easy to swap out assuming you made it hot swappable like my Framedeck. Maybe Tommy's next revision will make use of pcbs with hot swappable sockets.
Using mechanical switches in a Framework built device just makes sense in these contexts.
@@TakisEnjoyerIt's a little unfortunate. A lot of people think mechanical switches means it has to be clickly, including oem companies. So a lot of what you'll find available will be clickly to some degree. There's a ton of options for dead silent mechanical switches; companies just don't use them due to the hype of "clicky means better."
I clicked on this video expecting something jankier, I think it's due to the fact that videos of this quality from a decade ago just didn't exist and my brain hasn't caught up to the fact that 3D Printing, really opens up engineering and design to anyone who's willing to work at it! The way everything came together was really clever, you can tell this was a project you've put a lot of thought and time into! Subscribed!
You need to watch some videos from DIY Perks. It will blow your mind
This is fantastic. The use of actual mechanical switches for the buttons is a great idea, and I love that the project doesn't use any custom PCBs (though custom PCB services are ubiquitous enough that this is no longer a huge obstacle to the DIYer).
Yeah PCB Way has especially made this waaaay easier 😅
the Linus disclosure was hilarious.
Here from the Framework re-tweet!
Really one of the best concepts I have seen in a while 😮🔥
Framework should just buy this, refine it and sell it as a kit (while keeping it open source)
Honestly I’m surprised they haven’t seen this as a huge opportunity, having a handheld kit would be a very interesting thing to add to the main stream handheld market especially for customization
"I'm really close to that 1k mark"
*doubles it in 2 days*
Great work dude! Can't wait for the final result. Maybe someone will remix it and add PCBs for those willing to outsource that to a manufacturer.
Sitting at 3.5K now. TBH, shockingly low count for someone popping out videos of this quality.
For a second, as he's mentioned making that handheld 8 years ago, I thought he had been grinding YT all this time, and was wondering what deity he had angered to only get 1k in 8 years lol. But apparently, he has only been uploading for a year.
I do enjoy the longer videos! You did an amazing job with explaining your thought process, and I appreciate the attention to detail!
As a prototype this thing is already awesome! I love the use of low profile switches. Can't wait to watch the next vid!
This looks pretty well thought-out. I am excited for further revisions.
amazing work! looking forward to the finished product
This is some amazing and inspired DIY design.
Buds, this looks damned near like a professional/corporate/retail R&D build.
If v2 isn't where you get it all sorted out, then v3 will definitely be it, because you're so close already!
Well Done so far!
i love how incredibly well this is designed!
Awesome video and I've been racking around to do a video making my own gaming handheld, but never would have thought of using Framework parts. Very genius thinking. Definitely looking forward for an update on this project!
really excited for the finished build! awesome work so far
Dude thats awesome.. looking forward to the follow-up video!
Amazing project. Can't wait to see it in ABS and the benchmarks, specially battery life!
Looking forward to the next instalment.
This is amazing, because of this i subscribed, so cool to see you working on a unique project, i can't wait to see the full completed working model
This is insane! You're an awesome designer I can't wait to see how the project develops.
I really don't mind the video length! Indepth explanations and overviews is what I live for. Also this is sick as hell and makes me very excited for the future of handheld gaming!
I've had this idea for ages, glad to see someone do it :)
I built a rpi portable in 2022 and seeing this project has me wanting to revisit my own. This is really cool and I like how well thought out your design is
Now this is a cool af idea! Really looking forward to seeing the design iterated on.
This is looking great so far. I can't wait to see how it ends up.
I was literally just thinking about doing something like this, glad to see someone else try it out first, good luck!
That is really cool, can't wait to see the final version
CONGRATULATIONS. I would love to watch Steam Deck controls cloned, with pads, in future models or perhaps official ones inspired by your project.
The great thing about it is that all those parts from upgraded frameworks can be used for handheld PCs, and not just for gaming, I ended using my Steam Deck more as a backup and travel PC than as a game console.
Good looking handheld bud. I love how you took the design into your own hands. Being able to change out the keys is awesome.
Awesome build, looking forward to the finished handheld. You’ve just earned another sub!
This is amazing bro! you came up on my feed and this video deserve much more love. Keep it up!
New to the channel, this is awesome. started working through your backlog and realized how much of a gem this channel is.. keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
I was just thinking the same thing last night when looking at framework boards. And i thought this might work in a hand held format. And then i find this guy’s video on his own design. I got to say I’m really liking the modular hand held idea.
Amazing project! Good luck with further development!
Suggested by the YT algorithm gods and I love these DIY Framework projects, would love to see any other things you do in the future, earned a sub! Now to see your cat play Valo.
this looks really awesome and promising, looking forward for the next video
First time I actually watched this channel, it was a really good video and I liked the length actually
This is a master piece for gaming love it
Thank you for sharing this awesome project! Im waiting The next parte, with love from Brasil
this is so cool. can't wait for the next vid where you finalize everything
cool project, and i love that process of making gamepad that should be lot of fun
This is amazing brother. Can’t wait to see more when your done
absolutelly amazing!
I had the same idea! Glad someone with the skills is gonna do it!
This is so awesome , can not wait till the next vid.
This is fantastic great work new subscriber here I can’t wait to see the finished product 🤘😎
Awesome dude can't wait to see how it developes
such a
hard production, fully respect.
Linus really missing out on the brand publicity if he doesnt showcase this and make one himself.
Awesome video, cant wait to see how it is when finialized.
Facts Framework needs to bring him in and streamline this into production handhelds are making a comeback
This is why I like the Framework project as a whole. It allows for cool custom things like this with modular hardware that is easy to replace or upgrade in the future
wow, absolutely incredible
Nice job, nice design, nice editing, overall great job.
Went from close to the 1k mark to close to the 2k mark almost overnight. Amazing work man!
Great build man, love the problem solving. I'm building a portable PS4, and have had similar obstacles. Keen to see the next episode 👌
This is AWESOME!!
First video I've seen from you, just ended it and went to subscribe, I'm impressed that you are a small youtuber, good quality video, good editing, good charisma, etc. I think you'll succeed if you keep working like that.
Honestly this video was the perfect length, no need to shorten the next one!
love you fr bro, this looks fire
youtube recomennded me this video. I assumed this video was from some large channel due to the high quality nature and effort put in and then I saw only 5.7k subscribers. Well you earned yourself another sub, this is amazing I look forward to the next video.
Please I need to see part 2😮
And I think that in the final product u should add the motors to add vibration ❤
And last, please use custom pcb for the buttons part, it would make the project just perfect
This is pretty amazing.
That is so cool man hope it runs cool and good🎉
Extremely impressive
Great video, looking forward to the next one!!
Sick build! Also congrats on the like 1500 subs since posting this.
DUDE this is awesome and I see that some how ;) Framework found you on X and tweeted this video out. Fingers crossed for you good sir. Keep the amazing coming!!!
Whats x?
Super cool project!
This is really cool!
Very impressive work!
The level of effort and attention that has gone into this project is really inspiring for a young maker like me, I really hope I'll be able to make such sick stuff one day
this is so cool!!
fantastic work man. i can tell youre a tinkerer, like me. I have a degree in IT Systems/Cyber security but I like to tinker with electronics and even some mechanical stuff. the 3d printed parts are amazing, im wanting to eventually get into 3D printing...i think it wuld grealty expand my tinkering potentials
I very fantastic project and easily upgradeable
Very cool! Excited to see more! Subbed.
Dude. This!!! If only framework had a risc-v processor and this would be perfect for my game console project. but a handheld idea is pretty awesome.
Great work so far! Very similar to a project I'm working on currently. I'll share your video on my discord, hopefully my viewers will come and give you some views!
Here from Dan's post 🎉
Woah awesome! Thanks
this is awesome!!
Can’t wait to see the next improvement. Great work. Just subscribed to so I’ll be waiting to see the next video update.
awesome build bro!!!
I’m gonna need to figure out the gateron buttons thing. Looks great!
This is awesome! Id love to see maybe as a version 2 you go all in on custom PCBs and wiring
Awesome work, I want one.
Dude nice project.
Great job. I'm proud of you.
Will wait till next ep
tis is pretty amazing my dood
looking forward to v3.2ish of this project
Subbed! Awesome project!
What a freaking rad idea fs leaving a sub 🙂
😮😮😮😮😮 dam now waiting for the framework tablet!
This is super cool
This is awesome! I wonder if Framework have considered selling different kits for laptops/handhelds/mini PCs... I would love a clamshell gaming PC with a big battery (like the Ayaneo Flip, but 90Wh). The maintainability/upgradability is a massive boon.
I have been wanting to tackle a similar project, seeing what you're doing here is awesome and inspirational. Although I am no where near as knowledgeable or talented so maybe I should take on some simpler projects first.
Can't wait for the next video
Great work man, I subbed, here right from framework qt'ing someone talking about it
Awesome, thank you!
lovely video. i don't think it's too long at all. i think it's just the right length!
I really like this as a prototype for something like this! Some modifications i would personally make is instead of key switches which are pretty bulky, I would look into using Omron B3F style switches like in a nintendo switch. you could even design around existing buttons from something like an xbox or a ps4 controller. I believe there are mods for both using these Omron B3F switches already. There are also right angle B3F switches, so with a single pcb, you would be able to have all of your buttons and your top shoulder buttons all in one. You could then use something like a keyswitch for the triggers, as the triggers in most controllers traditionally have a longer travel.
I would also try and use a panel type USB-C extension for charging. It would be WAY cleaner if you can figure out how to fit one. it could be as simple swapping the direction of the adapter connection and just finding somewhere to hide the excess cable.
These would probably interfere with the hall effect joysticks, but if possible, using magnets for the different analogue stick plates would be a HUGE convenience, both in terms of swapping them out as well as prototyping them and making sure they stay straight.
I would also for sure look into adding some kind of pointer device other than just a touch screen. I would either look into a Primori Trackball ie the PIM447, which is a TINY all in one trackball that can be easily fitted into small spaces, or touchpads like the Glidepoint Circle Trackpads (I believe a version of these were used in the Vive controllers.) If you need help with either of these, I would look into the Ergo Keyboards community.
In any case, I adore these designs so much! Abs could be a really interesting material to use for an actual usable model, as you can do some really cool finishing with it, including vapor polishing. Cant wait to see what you come up with!
These are a lot of interesting suggestions. Thanks!
love it!
Beautiful! I love my steam deck, but a framework board inside a steam deck form factor would be heavenly. Your handheld looks great even as a rough draft.
