Miss this old tech style. Take me back. Wake me up from this hellscape.
Always hated transparent plastic. Glad it only appears to bait nostalgia cucks these days.
>>738145576I'm sure extremerate will make replacement shells for it.
Some were a reasonably durable and colorfast plastic for their time, but I always thought certain shades (typically the darker purples) were the best of them.
I miss these. Life was fun.
>>738145576sorry solid black is all you get
>>738145976is this the lizard mode i keep hearing about?
>>738145576I will now buy your controller.Actually I won't because it's really expensive and I don't need a controller with touch pads and gyro, but damn I love transparent stuff.
>>738146095I love it. Is that yours or a picture from online? Gorgeous.
>>738145576>prison plasticI'm good
>>738145576Chinks have been doing clear plastic for like 15 years now. You're in a hell of your own making.
>>738146252I don't want clear but I do wish we got multiple colorways, a candy apple red or a bright purple, a bright neon green. Those would be sick
I'm no longer 10. I need this stuff to make a comeback so I can purchase it. I need to live the dream.
>>738146171Random pic from online, but I have the same setup. Original lemon yellow controller, aftermarket PS2 shell (if the disc tray wasn't a giveway).Transparent blue PS2's look fantastic as well, but honestly nothing beats the selection that nintendo did for the N64.I unironically think pic related might be the most pleasant colour in existence.
Thoughts on translucent black?
>>738146584Rad. Needs secondary colors to make it pop though, like the green in your pic.
>>738146584My gamesar REDEEMCLONE2 is a mildly translucent black, it's okay, better than the gay translucent white, I prefer it over SOLID black or translucent gray.
>>738146584Doesn't hit quite the same unless you can see the colour of the components inside, but then it would technically just be "clear" rather than "black"?Although pic related is called black so I dunno.
>>738145576The games were better.The tech was cooler.The community was more exciting.The future was bright.
>>738146385You just have to look.
>>738145576I like all my devices to be black.
>>738146584Kinda lame compared to any colored plastic.
>>738146385its practical too, would make it easier to not lose track of where my controller ends up
>>738146847i had the purple clear gameboy advancei was there
>>738146385It's never been cheaper and easier for manufacturers to offer things in basically every colour imaginable, but they'd still rather save 0.0001c on something and just do it all in black.The dreary as fuck black, grey and white sterile world we live in fucking sucks.
>>738146584Translucent black/white is better than fully clear. Kind of dull without an accent color of some sort, but also the ideal pick for customizable LEDs by extension.
>>738147217transparent purple gbc, my beloved
>>738145576The Mountain Dew and Doritos era of games?
>>738147217People are so PROFITMAXX minded that the steam deck oled having an orange power on/off button was seen as brave and daring
>>738146095Some neon green LEDs inside would be sick.
>>738145576How comfortable is this gonna be? I'm tempted to get one and for $100 you can't go wrong.....assuming scalpers don't buy all of them the second they release....which they will.
>>738145709fippy bippylooks like fisher price toys
>>738147654I'm holding off til normies have it but it looks plenty comfortable barring some fat thumbs accidently hitting the touchpads, I've got a feeling I'm gonna like my SC1 more than the SC2 but that remains to be seen til I've actually used the sc2
>>738147751>fippy bippy>looks like fisher price toysThat's the entire point, they are toys, they are meant to be fun, black everything has all the excitement of a laptop power brick.
I fucking love clear/translucent game stuff
>>738147217Unironically: Those colors don't sell. It's why toward the end of that whole "era" they were "limited editions."
>>738148041>Unironically: Those colors don't sell.Clear purple Gameboy was the best selling Gameboy of all time.So uh, no.
>>738148041>Unironically: Those colors don't sell. It's why toward the end of that whole "era" they were "limited editions."The coloured versions literally boosted sales and the transparent purple one is the best selling ever so you literally couldn't be more full of shit if you tried.
>>738145576This company will have them like a week after the controller launches: https://www.extremerate.com/products/extremerate-custom-full-set-shell-with-buttons-for-steam-deck-lcd-glow-in-dark-greenAnd they are quality. I have a clear purple Steamdeck.
>>738148405Looks rad, how involved is the case swap, anything more than removing screws etc?
>>738145576>>738145806thank you doctor
>>738148405Shit, that's nice. Is there pictures online of it? These looks cool, but I worry it'll look like shit (and rattle) if I purchase it.
>>738148724A lot of folks say it is difficult/not worth it unless you are replacing other parts. I did it in an hour and I have a neurological disorder where my hands shake violently. Take that how you will. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT7oaDtzwl0You have to pop a few ribbon cables and remove screws.
>>738146095amazing now you can watch the disc drive fail in real time
>>738148405Clear purple is objectively the best clearSteam hardware is fucking amazing
>>738148973Tons, it is a wildly popular mod for both Steamdeck and Switch/Switch 2. Just google/youtube search "ExtremeRate shell swap" or something. It is very high quality. Not like the old days where you gamble on some shit from alixpress (must have bought 10x kits for my old GBA before I found one that was nice back in the day).
>>738148405>bluebellI wish they had this option last year, that gradient is sex
>>738146095You can get Chinese wireless ps2 controllers with transparent shells on amazon for $6 a peice. You can also get a usb adapter to use them on pc.
>>738146584Ugly. The xbone controller is ugly anyways, terrible shape.
>>738148041Source: my ass
>>738149184Yeah I kinda feel the same but I'm happy enough with purple. Maybe they'll have it available for the Steam Controller at launch. What I want is the clicky button mod for the Steam Controller. It is pure sex on the Steam Deck.
>>738149015sorry to hear that buddy, enjoy your gaemu
>>738146427>>738146095>>738145576based neon lime enjoyerswhere can I find the shell for the steam controller and ps2?
>>738149015Cheers mate, looks easy enough.>I did it in an hour and I have a neurological disorder where my hands shake violently. wtf I want a built in fleshlight.
>>738145576You miss clear plastic but want some adhd controller layout
>>738145576>translucent tech doesn’t exi–ACK
>>738146095i always felt that the dark red/red transparent shit was the coolest, it just looks so much cleaner. purple is great too.
the console looks awful but i liked the controller
I'm not looking forward to having to wake up at the crack of ass to get a controller, but this time around I'll have a 3d Printer and cadfiles so I can have any shell I want.I'm trying to see if I can do it in Noctua colors since they make me happy
everything is grey and depressing nowboth hardware and software
>>738150948I'm hoping that the buying limit, good account standing checks and price of the controller keeps enough people away so that I can get it without too much trouble. Good luck to you tomorrow anon, hopefully we can both get one
>>738145576>>738145806>>738145923HOLY SOVL
>>738145923Anon the N64 controllers were dogshit are you kidding me?
>>738152984This but the complete opposite opinion.
>>738147217>The dreary as fuck black, grey and white sterile world we live in fucking sucksBecause you are an attention whore rolling the dice to get robbed or a child. Black is popular because people know their ornate color schemes are gonna get fucked up by daily life and even the slightest scratch stands the fuck out on every other color.
>>738153409that phone case would be so annoying when wearing skinny or skim fit jeans thats a fat womans phone case
ugh are you the same creeps obsessed with frutiger aero
>>738145576The Mad Catz steam controller.
shill thread
>>738149814Those one battery Sony radios were peak. Everyone wanted one.
atomic purple waiting to make its comeback
>>738145576clear plastic crack faster than a white woman under the sun.it's a worse material.I rather have metal than clear plastic.
>>738145806>>738146584transparent shells look best with a white/grey pcb
>>738150339the blue one they made for the 500 million sales milestones was neat.
I fucking love my cipher blue controller, so much that I bought two. But it absolutely irks me that microsoft will make this in red, blue, white, any color but green. It's like they're embarrassed about bringing up their past.
I modded a GBA. Do you like it?
>>738159193It look pretty okayMetroid or Zelder?
>>738159334Which I prefer? Metroid.
>>738157216I like this, but I don't like the shiny-ness of it as much as the others.>>738158502gorgeous.
>>738150339Console is fine. That controller was the ultimate immersion aid for that game and I loved every minute of it.Sadly mine got stick drift and I repaired it (though shoddily) so it doesn't really see much use today. If I ever had the extra money (lol) I'd pay to have a professional repair the sticks.
so heckin kino..
Got one of these controllers on order.
>>738145576Go to prison
i have a crystal ds4. kinda boring but it is what it isi probably wouldn't have bought it if i couldn't see the internals>>738160218was there something special about the death stranding controller?they all get fucking stick drift. sony keeps doing this and we keep falling for it.if it's something truly unavoidable then shame on all of us because i own four of these fucking things and they all do it and the only one that doesn't is because it's schrodinger's drift where i refuse to turn it on and use it to see if it now drifts so therefore it doesn't drift.
>>738145576the closest we got to this was the switch pro but even then it was just black and it's a shame we didn't get more colors
>>738146095nice ps2, a couple years back i bought a modded ps2 with a clear blue shell on ebay but i never had the chance to set it up yet
>>738145709fpbp
>>738162136I have the extreme green one. Pretty nice but I'm not thrilled about the buttons and stick being the same color>they sell replacement buttons and stick in the original colors for $3.99>doesn't include the shouldersFucking why!?
>>738165310Me either. That's why I ordered 2 button sets also for the black one I have right now.
>>738163824id have loved if it had a better dpad. still mad about that.
>>738146385Have you even looked? Playstation controllers comes in like 500 different colours.
>>738147217I want a breakdown on the sales of all the different colours.
>>738165703I'll probably grab a set too but there's no reason for it not to include the shoulder buttons
>>738145576they already released a steamdeck with this style
>>738145576That looks really cool. The problem with most modern electronics is that if you put a translucent case on them you just see a bunch of metal shielding instead of actual circuitry. It really kills the vibe and defeats the purpose.
>>738145709Same, it always reeked of cheap knock off back in the day and it still does now.
transparent shell is pretty, but idk i barely look at my controller except when picking it up
>>738145576can you stupid fucking niggers stop shilling this trash looking controller alreadyI hope you choke on that one shekel you got from shilling so much
>>738146095googoogaagaa-ass looking shit. 2 year olds want this
>>738148724https://youtu.be/hOZ0jxg5xtc?t=633If you've got 10 minutes he goes into heavy detail on all the pitfalls and annoyances of doing so since it's not that straightforward. It's also not as complicated as something like a Vita repair but it's still in that realm.
>>738145576this plastic was actually just awful. brittle poorly finished and incredibly tacky.
