Hardware AKNES here, Answer questions about our brand.

The color difference between the xbox and ps4, is simply that they are reversed... so... it should be possible to reverse them?
Also, the jiggling sensor is leaving me hesitant.

 

[impeeza]

yeah, that "reverse" I can not understand what is it

"Modular thumbstick" - not hall effect yet it seems. I wonder if the whole module is modular or just the stick cap.

Maybe besides the cap, it's modular?

 

[impeeza]

Nice, because today change a stick could be a giant pain on the bottom.

And be able to change the stick like changing the key of a mechanical keyboard will be great deal.

Steam Deck does a great job.

I got a response from a seller:
Translated: "The product is not universal, please buy the product you need according to the model."
It seems I'm not buying then, as I also wanted them for Xbox controllers.

Edit: Seller said they should have more stock in 10 days.

I hope so, they probably are more concerned with Sony's innovation with the replaceable sticks on PS5's controllers. Still wish they just used hall effect instead.

Yes, it's the best way

Do you know the manufacturer for these?
Seems to be Guangdong Jinfu Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. but their website is down now.
Can still be checked here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230305233024/http://www.jf-gd.com/
They claim to be partners with 8BitDo (8 Bit Hall?), Xbox, Switch, and several other big brands. Did Gulikit licensed the tech to them?

Hello, I checked based on your information. Here are some of my conclusions:
1. According to the data, it is considered a good factory. (However, its official website cannot be opened at present, and it shows that the payment is in arrears. The specific reason is unclear.)
2. Its introduction on another website claims that it has cooperated with xbox/nintendo/powerA/razer/pdp/gamesir, etc. It may have been doing business, or it may have just been an indirect or direct transaction and then stopped. , but it has been promoted as such. I don't know this either.
3. From my feeling, at least it was or is still a R&D factory focusing on the field of sensors, and it should have received orders from many well-known brands.
This is my opinion, for reference only.

Edit: The company from Dongguan,Guangdong, I'm from Shenzhen Guangdong. Two neighboring cities.

Thank you for checking.

Do you have any general gaming accessories that you would like? For example, a controller bag or something, and then you can design the pattern you want on it like this.

Do you have any general gaming accessories that you would like? For example, a controller bag or something, and then you can design the pattern you want on it like this.

Thinking of accessories that can carry a logo / pattern, so fabrics, that I actually have and/or could use:
Nintendo Switch carry case
Mousepads
Backpacks
T-shirts (that counts too right? It's an accessory the gamer uses while gaming )
Controller bag - I actually have the transparent hard plastic cases that came with all of my KK 2 Pro, but the one I'm using is usually "naked" on top of the computer case

As for patterns, what would be the product's limitations? Heat transfers? Actual printing on fabric? Stitching?
How big is the market for customizable accessories? I usually just buy things with neutral or no designs, but I do like schematics / blueprints drawings.

I understand what you mean.
In our product philosophy, functional products rely on technological innovation as their competitiveness, while non-functional products (such as the bags I mentioned or the mouse pads you mentioned) rely on design as their competitiveness.
At present, I want to get some designs that are more desirable from the user's perspective.

I feel the functional products are easier to market than the non-functional ones... the design based marketing follows trends, and those trends are guided by other marketing campaigns, aka, the biggest/hottest games at the moment (and that's constantly shifting too). The most secure are probably the classic / iconic ones, or appeal to big brand's fan base - Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo... but the bigger brands require licensing to market their designs / logos, I think.

...or... you go for color and abstract shape patterns that you make available for customizing, or allow the buyer to upload their own designs, but this last option seems expensive.
