    Thanks for the review, I'm glad that PAS was able to get one into your hands to try out. I can address a couple of notes here though:
    1. The foam pad has cutouts for the torx head screws, you just need to pull them out before putting the foam on. We're working on having that pre-done in the future so the customer doesn't have to do that. We don't apply it at packaging because not everyone wants it in place.
    2. Cost is $170 for the base model, which supports PC/PS3/Switch/OG XBOX, and registers as XINPUT for PC usage on Steam, etc. Firmware updates improvements/compatibility are done very quickly.
    2a. SOCD handling for Up Priority, True Neutral, and Last Input Wins is supported
    3. The switches are Cherry MX Ultralow-Clicky type, the more familiar MX are usually linear so they have a very different feel to them, very ON/OFF rather than feeling the travel. It's a very different feel than any other hitbox style out there, and can be quite polarizing for people.
    4. Customization won't stop at the finalize purchase page. When we're done with the next stage you'll be able to swap the entire panel of switches for less than a set of color caps that you currently purchase for other vendor options.
    5. This also applies for broken switches, we don't expect anyone to rework an SMT switch, that would be silly.
    6. The device is a platform under the hood, the Brook upgrade for the home panel is an obvious upgrade which can be completed very quickly and without soldering. There is also a GP2040 variant too. We want you to be able to dig in and change/update the Nano to meet your needs. You'll see pretty soon what we mean by 'platform'.
    7. It's definitely a 'feeling is believing' device, we had many people at EVO who thought 'well ok i guess that's neat' until they picked it up, mirroring your experience. It's a lot more dense than people envision, the aluminum chassis is thick, and the PCB itself is aluminum. It's a very solid device.
    8. Both Bryan and I work full time, so we've been fairly slow at the front end information on the webpage/help vids/etc. but we are working on it, it will just take some time.

    You haven't done them all just yet. Flatbox and additional button variants, Slab-Mini, Mavercade KeebBrawler and KeebFighter variants, Zappa, Open_Core0, Snack Box Micro XL, FightBox, and full customs, etc. It's a great time to be alive if you're in the market for a leverless controller option. But I agree in regard to the Nano; I would have liked to see some easier switch and button cap customization since I also like to easily tweak my devices.

  • @NessOnett8
    @NessOnett8 Год назад +6

    My biggest surprise is how few of these companies are making actually customizable controllers. Or messing with the general form factor. We see Daigo making custom controllers. I know a couple pros who have special ones. So why isn't any company following suit? Have 2 buttons on the middle, one for each thumb. Have a button where your left pinky rests for DI. So many customization options, but everyone is making them with the exact same basic button layout as the hitbox from 15 years ago. Despite us being 2 game generations later, and player needs being very different. I don't care as much about customizing my buttons or my graphics. I want practical customization.

    • @ANIMEILLUMINATI
      @ANIMEILLUMINATI  Год назад

      I think it's a scaling issue. If they are customizing the layout each time they won't be able to make as many.

  • @chitandael
    @chitandael Год назад +5

    The form factor of the controller is such a paradox for me. Small controllers = fun to play on top of the table, not fun on your lap (but their main selling point is that they're portable... but if you bring it outside, you'll most likely play it on your lap). Vice versa for the bigger controller. So far, I've been using Punk Workshop and it's working fine, but I wonder what's the good balance between small enough to be portable and big enough to be comfortable on your lap.

    You cannot take the keycaps off once they assemble the Mpress Nano. When I was talking to them about it at Evo they did say they were gonna release a tool for you to be able to safely swap the keycaps.

    • @dihy5579

      They use cherry ulp switches which are near impossible to get.
      The nano is not easily repaired. Previously ulp switches were exclusive to Alienware laptops.

  • @retr0greg
    @retr0greg Год назад +2

    I picked up one of these at Evo and can confirm you do not want to take the caps off. The switches are very sensitive and held together by a tiny spring that will very likely pop off.
    I also think I’m a little heavy handed when I play and have taken a key cap off just by playing on it (I was practicing SPDs 😂).

After handling one for about five minutes I decided I was gonna buy one. I think it’s a fine controller. I’m still trying to learn how to play leverless. I can’t wait to travel with this. It seems like it’ll be a lot easier to travel with than stick.

    I kind of like that they're laptop keys because I'm a keyboard player so maybe that'll translate better going from keyboard to a leverless controller.
    Soldered sucks though so I'm once again leaning back to snackbox. The extea thickness might make it more convenient anyway. Plus, I want something rather cheap and custom board doesn't equal cheap

    2 issues: First: "I want my controllers to be as thin as possible" Why? What benefit is it to you to save the ridiculously small difference between a snackbox and this? None. Realty is more weight helps it move less during use which is a good thing, and more size allows for more hand/arm resting options. It's why even pros using leverless still opt for chunky "sticks".
    Second: this old layout is not the future. We have seen how much better different custom layouts like those used by Kakeru, Leffen, etc, are compared to these old school stick style layouts. It's just blatantly inferior and it's insane to me that manufacturers haven't realized this yet.

      I think it's going to be a tight race between Razer, Hitbox, and Junkfood arcade, for the top spot for the foreseable future. I think what will devide them in the long run will depend on how their next versions with better layouts and options do, but we are unfortunately still years away from that in all likelihood.
