Inspired by Ashens' recent retro joystick review, I went on a search for a modern controller with microswitches since I haven't ever owned one but always loved the response of arcade sticks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GbQajuuX6mM?feature=oembed Found a good one made by PDP, actually they're...

Yeah I think you've sustained some objectively fair arguments, Mr_Loon. I can't say I prefer your design over the P1 quite yet, but you've got a definite maybe from me FWIW. The devil is in the details and implementation. I think some of us just have high-level reservations as to how many deals...

I like the current size of the Pandora keys, so that is good. I have three other handheld keyboards and the Pandora's is far and away the most thumb-friendly. Of course the rounding can be addressed later, my only point in bringing that up is that I think a fair criticism of the P1 is its boxy...

EDIT: Nevermind, it's already been said. Nice designs, I will be honest and say this is the first proposition I have seen that is a true second iteration of the Open Pandora. Of course I like it, I like the P1, so... Would you plan on expanding the ergonomy, meaning is the rectangularness just...

If I set it on the table I'm either watching a movie or done using it. :P If we're going to talk ergonomy in that corner case, then let us indeed discuss the keyboard since the typing sucks immensely in that position. Looking forward, I wonder if variations on the keyboard could be looked...

Well, we're talking about the Pandora 2, so it's not that far off in theory. I'm skeptical this should be a concern at all. I don't see 3D printers in stores, I don't own one, and I don't know anyone that owns one. I suppose you could make a similar argument about the Pandora, but at least it...

Ah ok fair enough, hadn't thought about the tripod analogy... still though, I don't really take a tripod everywhere I take my camera. My response would go from no to a big maybe if I only had two pieces to worry about, and all the parts necessary for attaching them together were on the bottom...

No, offensive to me is the bland, vacuous blather in Overgauss' sig, consisting of links to pedestrian tutorials on logic and debate, horrid text formatting, belligerent challenges to debate him, et cetera. Thankfully he hasn't been around for quite some time. I would imagine some minority of...

If you have some case in a first world court where absence of litigation is presented as evidence of misconduct, I'd love to see it. Otherwise you may want to correct this statement; it sounds just a tad idiotic.

I don't know how to design it, but the only way I'd begin to consider this is without the extra parts. Having screws introduces another point of failure: they might get lost, forgotten somewhere, bent, threads or thread sockets worn, etc. The consolidated design of a clamshell is convenient, and...

It's cool man, and I hope I don't come off as high and mighty... end goal is just constructive-ish. To your point, and I agree, a lot of these designs although good are not the Pandora 2  Best and safest way to goal is incremental.

I agree with the general sentiment that the Pandora design is overall satisfactory... but I'm not voting because I want to see polls taken a little more seriously. This is a small community, and at least some of the OPT looks at these threads. This one is clearly spam, as per the subforum title...

I fully agree that the P1 is "nearly there"... a lot of the original issues have been solved. The external speakers sound great, build quality is better, etc... I also agree that the best improvements going forward would be screen resolution, USB compatibility (3.0 would be sexcellent), and...

Nay, I understand, I wasn't meaning to polarize it in any fashion. Notaz placed emphasis on a potential rift in software support, and I concurred that should be a concern. That's it. I certainly wouldn't say "don't research/develop it"... that would just be silly.

I actually like the keyboard layout (symmetrical shift and function buttons, nice), and unlike the iCP2 my thumbs think they would be comfortable using it. I was only heckling about the clamshell bit, this could be an interesting format actually. Any chance for four slim "shoulder" buttons on...

To be fair, the P1 isn't terribly pocketable, I find it quite uncomfortable frankly but don't really mind. This is much better to my eyes, now let me fold it closed to protect the screen and buttons. :P Might I ask where you got the keyboard design?

Make it more logical? Murder => Death => No more iOS/Android gaming...

Casual conversation is OK, but tossing aside an objectively solid analysis as overthinking is insulting. Exophase explained why your title is bullshit, and your only refutation was that he thinks too much. At least you don't post quote dumps everywhere like a certain someone did...

Then, sweet! :)
