Decided to get another set of Gioteck JC-20 Switch controllers. Already have the red and blue ones and now have added the pink and green ones to my collection. I find the JC-20s to be better than the official joy-cons. Someone really should do a temp review of them :D

How are they in handheld mode? The normal joycons eventually kill my hands when using the switch handheld as they are just too small and cramped.

Had the same problem with the official Joy-cons but have not suffered any pain using the JC-20s.

Thanks, might grab a pair then.

Only downside is not charging from the console, but not really an issue for me. Rarely play handheld so can just sit on the side charged and ready to be swapped in on the rare occasions I play handheld mode.

Ordered a couple micro HDMI to HDMI adapters, since my last cable seems to be dying on me now. Curse you, Raspi Foundation for switching to this terrible connector :angry:
I've only had to buy one of those, for the neo geo mini. It's sticking out the back ATM. ;)

I bought a purposefully broken iPod, in hopes of fixing it up. I bought an SD>CF and CF>IDE adapter, and boom! Went from not booting because of a HDD error to being kitted out with a brand new micro SD!

I have the v1 version of these headphones and within a week of using them the part that connects the earcup to the head band broke. I wasn't rough with it or anything, I just think it was a poor design and cheap plastic.

Sent them off to turtle beach and within 5 or 6 days then had sent me a brand new pair. They broken again recently but this time it was cracks in roughly the same spots. But I fixed it with some epoxy. It's not the nicest looking fix but they work.
