The shoulderbuttons
In the meantime, a green case arrived - the latest revision with the new shoulderbuttons.
Do they work?
Well... yes, basically, they do.
However, there's one thing I can tell you after having assembled the case:
While we've got four shoulder buttons and all of them can be pressed, it won't be comfortable to use the upper ones when gaming.
It's not possible with the extremely small and cramped space we got up there.
The lower ones need a bit of tweaking but will work comfortably then, but for the upper ones, you will have to bend your fingers a bit, which is not nice to do for extended periods of time.
They will be fine for functions you don't need that often in games and they will work fine as modifier keys when typing (as your thumbs are lower when you're typing than when you're playing).
Looking forward to your post GamesCom photos of the shoulder buttons.Yes, we already have the upper shoulderbutton more prominent, otherwise they would probably not work at all.
And yes, both can be easily pressed at the same time.
In the meantime if you're still open to discussion, I made this rudimentary drawing:
Yes, it's not to scale.
