Hey dudes is there anyway to minimize shipping cost for large objects?

I bumped the controller and it fell off the desk. Broke a shoulder button.

i want to buy things but i dont know what 😡

buy lazy glasses

do nothing club hat

i already wear glasses

but this has peaked my interest

I got the FC30 Pro, I think it's pretty nice but the face buttons are quite stiff

I can sell you my custom SNES controller. You think the 8bitdo face buttons are stiff?

Mine are fucking rigid.

Unintentionally?

Yes.

I bought components blindly.

That sucks

$2 chink components.

I'll live.

What sucks is that getting new parts will take ages. 😄

But I know which ones to get.

Custom controller making seems like fun in a way

But I imagine all the good components cost

It's not *that* bad. And mine's more customized than fully custom, but I did go the cheap route purely to learn.

To be truly custom I'd need a 3D printer, of all the meme things.

I wonder if you could make a faux version of one of the Neo Geo ones with the click pad

Sure.

That's the kind of stuff I wish you could just straight out buy - clone controllers with good components

If you're looking to make or mod a controller with mechanical switches, 100 grams of actuation force seems to be the sweet spot.

AND it's also difficult to find cheapo surface mounted components that fit that particular bill.

Friend of mine tells me I should start selling them.

I'd rather just sell the mod service tbh.

Much easier that way

Certainly for me.

Wouldn't need to stock anything but components. No worrying about sourcing good quality controllers, original or otherwise.

@transience What radio are you using to spy on folks?

shitty binatone pmr446 radio that you can buy from any department store

had one sitting in my drawer for years

Ah, I was hoping for something chinky to buy.

you can get radios that do it from China

but they aren't that cheap

I bought a baofeng uv-5r from amazon, same price as ali but ships from the UK

should be here tomorrow
