Just got this beauty from Gadgethyper. Haven’t seen any DBZ Vader 5 pros posted yet.

I didn’t know where else to put this but, I was wondering what this controller is. My dad says he one it in a contest online and that it’s for a ps5 but has no markers that identify it it to any console. It has ps5 looks but Xbox buttons.

Responsiveness: My last controller was the GuliKit KK2, which had horrible latency. It makes all the difference here. I’m so happy with how responsive this controller is after playing with the KK2 for so long. I’m still going to be ass at games, but at least I can’t blame the controller now. 😂

Comfort: I have to admit that the ergonomics of this controller isn’t perfect for me, even with my small hands (16x9 cm). But I half-expected that to be the case, considering the shape and that it’s supposed to be a mini-sized controller.

D-pad: One of the main reasons I bought this is because of the d-pad placement. Fortunately, the d-pad feels amazing. It’s very light and the inputting diagonals don’t take much effort to do. Other than the KK2, I also used to main the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+, especially for non-analog stick games. Like this one, it also has a symmetrical layout. HOWEVER, the d-pad of the Pro+ requires heavy presses. It’s just torture …

Hello everyone, this is my review of the IINE Retro Pocket controller.

I am not sponsored by IINE in any way; I purchased this controller with my own money. I bought the Nintendo Switch (NS) version in purple.

The specifications for this controller are available on IINE’s website, including dimensions, battery capacity, and the type of materials used in its construction.

I should point out that there are two different models of this controller. On one hand, there is the Nintendo Switch (NS) version, which comes in a total of three colors: Purple (which recalls the indigo color of the GameCube), White (which recalls the GB), and Red (which recalls the color of the Famicom). On the other hand, there is the PC version, which comes in two colors: Retro Gray and Classic Black. Both versions share the same specifications and are priced at USD $28 (only the red color is priced higher, at USD $34). The main difference between these two versions is their primary focus. In the NS version, the …

NOTE: In accordance with Rule #7, I purchased this controller from Amazon and did not receive it for any promotion. Just posting my honest review.

So I finally bit the bullet and bought the GameSir Cyclone 2 after months of research and comparing it with my other options - Cosmic Byte’s Stellaris and Eclipse (Indian), and 8BitDo Ultimate 2.

Wasn’t a big fan of the traditional “messenger” designs so decided to go with the Kadet Max. Liking it so far. If you have any questions, let me know.

Man, what a great bag. Super comfortable and fits all my EDC stuff. My first AER bag too, very impressed with the quality. I can see myself using this for a long time… Until the next one 😝

Was a big fan of Bellroy’s bags a few years back. Had the 13” Classic Compact bag that served me well through college. Also had the Venture Sling 6L and Venture Ready 2.5L that went on many adventures.

But now that I am a working adult and my bags worn out, I wanted something new to replace my bags and a bag that match my current lifestyle here in Japan.

Then I came across Able Carry’s Thirteen, which was perfect for me. It was the first bag that got me into the brand. It was also the gateway to noticing their new sling bags. I was a little iffy about their new Core Sling, but nevertheless after many days of thinking, I decided to pull the trigger. It came and I’ve been rocking it since.

I know not a lot of people is a fan of their padded strap, but I felt it added some style and charm to it. It’s a little bit overkill, but it does help when you carry a bottle in it.

In terms of size, it’s the same size as Bellroy’s Venture Ready 2.5L. …

This is the current rotation of bags I use for my photography business. My loadout changes depending on what Im shooting and where im going to i like the variety. The cables for the chargers are getting a little bit more cleanup once my right angle cables come.

Bags include Wandrd, original bag of holding, Alpaka, Pelican, Thinktank, private label and Promaster.

We’ve spent years traveling with just a carryon backpack each, and it was mostly great. Downside mostly came down to feeling like we couldn’t really buy souvenirs for ourselves or friends short of immediately mailing them out, and having to do laundry every few days.

Well we’re now in our late 30s and have experienced some lifestyle creep, and we were packing our bags for our next trip where we plan to be abroad for a few years, and trying to fit everything into the backpack to the point where the zipper felt like it was about to burst just felt like it was going to be such a constant pain in the ass.

I think to all the people rolling around with a roller suitcase, how at ease they look and must feel as we’re sweating around hauling our lives on our backs.

I got a foldable laptop triple screen that has made my work so much better. It + my laptop alone now take up 30% of my old pack.

Plus, I’m now carrying around a guitar and so frequently I have to …

Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster so please let me know if there’s anything I missed. I’m happy to answer any questions you might have.

This was my first time onebagging. It was a bit of a challenge, especially with all of the tech I brought. But the simplicity of having only one backpack’s worth of belongings to deal with on an international trip was well worth it. It was uniquely satisfying to feel like I was using almost every single piece of gear, tech, and clothing to its fullest potential. I will be traveling this way for the foreseeable future.

Every inch of my un-expanded 26+6 was completely packed out with an even split of clothing/toiletries and tech. See pic #2.

• Notice my un-expanded Split Kit above my brown Tomtoc sling - it fit into that little round space perfectly.
• I originally had a compression packing cube for my socks and underwear. But I ended up having to ditch the cube because the shape of it while filled-out wasn’t compatible …

16 Litre Fjällräven Kånken for a 15 day trip to New Zealand’s South Island in Summer.

Total weight- 4.86kgs (7kg carry-on allowance)

I really struggled with the weight and form of my Cotopaxi Allpa 35L which I took on a Euro Summer (+ iceland) trip. Being 5’1 with a short torso, it never sat right and the lack of load lifters put me off it. So, trying out some smaller alternatives. Also been eyeing the Bellroy 30l pack as a happy medium between the two. From what I’ve read, the 16 Litre Kånken fits the parameters of a personal item for many airlines.

This bag fits a surprising amount and weighs only 300g! Despite its lack of load lifters or sternum strap, I don’t find it that uncomfortable.

Couldn’t find photos online, so I took some of my Patagonia Black Hole Micro MLC 22L !

For reference: Bag is filled and packed.

Hey everyone,

Just thought I’d share my initial thoughts on the Patagonia Micro MLC backpack.

I travel fairly often around Europe and have had a few stressful moments at the check-in gate — usually because my backpack is bulkier than it needs to be. I picked this bag up hoping to avoid that, and so far I’m impressed with how much the 22L capacity can actually hold.

Here’s what I’m carrying:

Tech side (clamshell): • 14” MacBook Air • Portable charger • Multi cable

Clothing compartment: • Compression bag with 3 T-shirts, 3 pairs of jocks, 3 pairs of socks, and 1 lightweight full-length pair of pants • Patagonia lightweight hoodie fleece • EDC case

Side access / external compartment: • Hard drive case • Cable pouch

I could probably pack a bit more if the hoodie was folded/packed more efficiently — it’s taking up more space than it needs to. There’s still a little extra room left. It just fits into the Ryanair bag sizer length-wise, but there’s some room on the sides for …

This bag was excellent, what a champ! We were in Italy (Napoli, Florence, Genova and Torino) over the last two weeks of December through New Year’s Day. Temps ranged from 62f to 21f. We walked a lot, ate a lot, and visited a bunch of museums.

I stayed in hostels for the most part, and one stay in an apartment in Florence. Each spot had laundry facilities, or a laundromat very close by. I did my laundry three times, except for merino bras which were washed every night. Clothes are easy to rewear during the winter, very different from summer travel which generates daily laundry habits in Italy (for me as I tend to sweat buckets every day).

What I packed: * Clothing * 1 Costco merino wool long sleeve shirt * 1 32 degree pant base layer * 1 Uniqlo UV hoodie * 1 Eddie Bauer trench (worn) * 2 pairs of heavy cotton pants from H&M (one worn) * 3 t-shirts (one worn) * 2 merino wool bras (one worn) * 5 pairs underwear and 5 pairs socks (one pair of each, worn) * 1 Pajama …

Two day work Trip

Been a while I took this beauty out so why not

For anyone curious it’s the CTB20, I got a 10L Packing cube and a Alpaka Tech Case Mini packed in there with a CAP1 (dopp and med kit) in the front Zipper with a 14” laptop in back too.

Take it Easy,

Kev

I know, I know. It’s not a waxed canvas CTB. But…it’s very well built, with all the nostalgia of my high school and college days. All for just over $100 shipped with the 15% discount EG offered over the holidays. It’ll go to work with me some days. Others I’ll use it schlep around stuff for family outdoor activities. Might even use it as a glorified diaper bag when I’m spending time with my grandson lol.

It’s a common complaint here that EG doesn’t use strap keepers for most of their bags, and that surprises me. If you’re wearing the bag properly, I don’t know how you can truly use them. You need to be able to tighten and loosen the bag regularly, so at best you’re just shortening the straps a bit. You still need plenty of length to do the adjustments.

I have the Kludde and even with the strap keepers, the straps dangle about half way down my waist when it’s cranked down to get the bag high and tight.

Hey folks, just got my CTB26 and I love it, but I just looked at myself wearing it in the mirror and noticed a bit more of the bag showing over my shoulders on one side compared to the other.

I feel like the top attachment point of the harness straps are attached at slightly asymmetrical positions. Am I just going insane with OCD or is this an actual manufacturing error?

I live in Canada so I definitely don’t feel like this is worth exchanging the bag for — hence me adding a top grab handle wrap — I just need some validation (or for someone to call me insane) lol

I’m 6’1” and about 220lbs. 21” torso length.I currently use a north face borealis that is wearing out. I want an upgrade. Will be mainly carrying my 14” MacBook Air, lunch, a few notebooks, powerbank and a light jacket. It will be used for both car and bus commuting to work and to grad school.

Which size should I go with 22 or 26?
