What is the device you want, but that does not exist?
I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience
Well, your wrists don't try to murder you if you keep them bent at an angle for too long, I suppose. Human hands are different, and mine really like having two separate controllers instead of holding just one thing.
But also, the JoyCons are pretty awesome, I find the separate button d-pad very reliable and I don't have a problem with the size at all, so even if they weren't healthier for me I'd love to have a set that works natively on PC.
I have multiple HMDs and controllers. The original Vive controllers are maybe the least ergonomic thing I own, and the current standard does not feature a full array of face buttons.
Plus, obviously, they don't work on flatscreen games. So yeah, no, the JoyCon is still the best controller out there right now, VR knuckles included.
Wait, how does that work? 8bitDo's dongles are very confusing in terms of which one goes with what, but none of the ones I have, either standalone or bundled with a controller, seem to have a mode on PC to pair two joycon to a single controller.
Apparently you can’t with the 8bitdo adapter (sorry made last post while half asleep) meant to link the mayflash NS2 which actually can pair both joycons
will link that here and change previous link in case someone comes across it later
Hm. I have the NS1 and that did an OK job using my fight sticks on Switch, but I don't think it did dual JoyCon on PC. The store page doesn't mention that explicitly either.
I may give it a look, but if you have video evidence, a review, a tutorial or something I'd appreciate that.
From the comments under the video these look to be the instructions to pairing both joycons to it
HERE IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO:
1: Go to the Green mode.
2:Press the button once or twice untill the green led on the mayflash blinks really fast.
3:Hold the power button and the “hidden bumper thingy button” that is FURTHEST away from the controller until the controller either stops blinking or resets the lights. Do this for the one of the two controllers.
4:Repeat step 2 and 3 for the other controller (as in press the mayflash button until it blinks really fast), you will notice that the paired controller has shutdown and you can now do 3 to pair the other controller.
5:Press the mayflash button 2 times again so that it goes into fast blinking ( now all controllers have shutdown ).
6:While blinking press the power button on the LEFT joycon. Wait for it to pair with a solid green LED.
7:The mayflash must be now solid green and the left joycon too with the right NOT connected. GOOD … just press the mayflash button again so that it goes into SLOW BLINK and when it does hit any button on the RIGHT joycon AND IT WILL PAIR AT THE SAME TIME AS THE LEFT. CONGRATS
Well, I'd say I'm bummed out that I didn't figure out this was an option before, but I'm pretty sure those are the instructions to reach the Holy Grial as well, so maybe it's reasonable.
I'll give it a try if I can remember where I stashed that thing.
Something extremely modular and upgradable like the Framework, but with a 4K 120Hz HDR OLED display, that can fold back into 2-in-1 mode and that has connectivity for full bandwidth of an external GPU. Additionally, some way to connect to up to 3 displays at full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 bandwidth (each) - at least - DP 2.1 would be even better. Maybe via multiple display outputs or some insanely-high-bandwidth port like Thunderbolt 5 for dock connectivity.
The intent is to basically have a tablet-to-laptop-to-desktop experience, with virtually no compromises.
Oh, forget the remote, if the stupid device connection systems between consoles and TVs managed to not do the exact opposite thing to what you want 95% of the time I'd take it.
Although robust HDR support on Windows would also do it for me.
WebThings (or Home Assitant) with Zigbee plugs and Zigbee (or BT or WiFi, whatever) button remote, it exists. Otherwise can use your phone to control those too.
An e-reader running a modern version of Android from an OEM like Google, Samsung, Nokia, etc. I read exclusively using Play Books. I know some exist out there like Onyx Boox, but until they make strides to stay in compliance with the GPL2 they won’t get a dime from me.
I guess that might be right. As of today, the iPad Pro is basically a laptop when attached to the magic keyboard. It only has a single thunderbolt port but can connect to an external display with caveats. Apple scuppers the experience by forcing you to have the iPad display open when connected to the monitor. I’m essentially looking for an experience like Samsung Dex where I get a desktop experience when docked - but a portable experience when on the go. I’m sure they could easily do this but choose not to in order too avoid eating into MacBook sales.
