u/Archer-Background

Just trying to be helpful for anyone intrigued or not fully sure about buying it. Only place I could find it was direct from 8bitdo and it took just over a week to arrive to me in UK. Not as quick as convenient as Amazon Prime etc and I understand if you're on the edge about getting it or not, hopefully this can help either decide yes or no.

(I personally love it).

To summarise the sound, stock is very clicky switches and the new purple switches are near silent, there's no click feedback - much less effort/force needed to press and easier to "piano".

I have attached pictures and videos going from stock to the new upgrade kit (including the box and contents and anything I thought might be helpful). Let me know if you have questions.

Box

Inside of Box - key caps, the purple (silent) switches, the tweezers like switch puller and a wrist/palm support

Stock Arcade Controller (Xbox version)

With the wrist support - which I put right back into the box personally. There is no way to attach it or anything so only works on desk/table use. No way to use it when playing on lap (I also find the board comfortable on its own anyway)

Original buttons sound test

White is stock and the purple are the new

New caps are definitely lower and have less travel

Put all the stock bits into the box for the upgrade kit

New look
