Maybe the best thing to  do now is to make physical dummies of the Pyra: one with the original layout and one with the sega-style layout, maybe even a third one with a sega style layout and smaller buttons. ED could take those to the next exhibitions/fairs he's at along with a survey and ask...

Basically I'd like to have the Saturn/Arcade layout for the action buttons because it feels a lot more natural/ergonomical to me. It's not like I'm playing arcade fighting games 24/7. Mostly I'm using the action buttons with the desktop (as mapped in the original pandora layout). Having the...

That might be, but to me it wouldn't make a big difference since the whole device to me is far from pocketable anyways (since it's at least as big as the Pandora which has turned out to stay at home most of the time because of it's size). So why not enlarge it a bit and make it more comfortable?

That'd mostly depend on the connector/socket used. Aside from the connector it's only one layer of pcb more. so just 1 or 2 mm.

Yeah, you're possibly right, but since everybody's throwing their 2 cents in about this very controversial topic I wanted to share my thoughts, too. :)

The "make the action buttons modular" option I had joked about earlier is getting more and more attractive imho. Why not expand it to the whole gaming controls? My suggestion would be to make two modules: one with the controls left of the buttons in the middle (dpad+left nub) and one with the...

I think that the main "problem" regarding the layout of the action buttons is not the layout itself but the background where people come from. People who grew up with the SNES are mostly likely used to the SNES controller layout and will prefer that one. People who mainly played Genesis or...

Your new kernel works nicely here. Updated yesterday and haven't had any problems so far. Thank you very much!

That laylout would be perfect imho. I like it a lot! Nice work!

Thanks a lot foor your reply! So I guess I'm going to reconcider if I'll do it or not, since I don't have spare cases lying around.

Poll, anyone? :D

Hmmmm... button foil... that actually sounds like a nice idea! :D My plan was to use one of the two new buttons for alt+tab, the other one as  a kind of modifier key (if that's even possible) to get Umlaute when pressed together with A/O/U

Thanks for your replies! Hmmmm... seems to be a bit difficult to do, though.

Hey everybody! a few days ago I thought it'd be nice if the Pandy had two more shoulder buttons. Soldering-wise it shouldn't be a problem. The big problem here is finding push-buttons that are small enough to fit in the case (I had planned to build place them above the existing shoulder...

In terms of technological development I fear that, once the whole megapixel thing has worn off, companies like Samsung, Sony or Apple will find a new hot thing to sell their stuff. Let's wait for 400€ smartphones that play 24/192 soundfiles, have a shiny 4k display and let you shoot 4k video...

Yeah... you're right. Lenses just were the first thing that came to my mind when thinking about digital cameras. But I think my point is still valid. Companies just try to find the highest number they can find in their product and center the whole marketing strategy around it. And slowly but...

Since there seems to be a bit of concern regarding the size of the keys as well as the layout of the action buttons: would increasing the case by a few mm be an option? Since no parts have been produced so far (at least afaik) this looks like a good choice to me.

This whole topic reminds me a bit of the old "the more megapixels the better" discussion in digital photography. Like "my new smartphone has a 30megapixel camera so it _has_ to be better than your 18 megapixel dslr", completely neglecting that there is a _lot_ more to it... good quality lenses...

On the pc the last game I finished was Tomb Raider (the new one), now I playing X-Com Enemy Unknown and Rocksmith 2014. On the Pandora it's still Mario Land 3 / Wario Land.

Did the trick. Thanks!
