Got my units today.
First thoughts:
White unit has better texture than the black one
The charge light on the white one lights up the select key too.
Black case feels sturdier than translucent one. These are supernice, and they fit the pandora. US made S3cases.com T2000 model Wonder if it will fit pyra?
Glass has turned into a plastic cup, with a throwing-ball in it...? Both made in the US, but what am i supposed to do with it.
T-shirt is not that good quality. Made in dominican republic. Also it says kickstarter on it, which isnt something i want to advertize at this point.
Pouch isnt that good quality. Not going to use. Should have sent one that was capable of wiping off the screen.
Would be nice if they fit into the carrying case.
Only one angled usb, wonder if that is a usb otg? Would prefer if it was angled the other way.
Declaration of conformity, with supported standards in the case. Good!
Quickstart guide. The map of where all the ports are is welcoming, but it doesnt do anything that looking at the console doesnt do better...
The introduction to buttonevents is ok, could be better, rest of the guide fine. Nice to have quickstart guide. Wish it was something worthy of putting on the wall.
The "silver" aluminum fakery going around the middle part looks ugly on both models, anything would be better.
D-pad is good, abxy cluster has a very nice feel to it, the buttons could be a bit bigger.
L and R have lots of wobble, not very good. The nub is not at all good. Horrible feel, horrible actuation, no click.
Logo is ok, Would be better if the Z went into the E and R like the C goes into the W in GCW.
Also i finally learnt what GCW meant! Global consoles worldwide. Still think its a bad name, but i can get used to it.
Sticker on the back of the White one is HUGE, on the black not so much.
No creaks from case, good.
All in all seems quite good at the very core elements, feels a bit uninspired at the rest.
