What do you generically call these 2 buttons?

569 comments • i.redd.it

I’m working on a controller app for PC and I want to use the most “universal” term for these buttons in the UI. This is specifically when I don’t know whether the user is on an xbox / playstation / generic -style controller (all of which label these buttons differently). What would be the most obvious generic names to use? Thanks!
Thought about upgrading to a Pro 3, but then I remembered I have a 3D printer...

8 comments • reddit.com

The SN30 is just a little too small to be comfortable for longer sessions, so I was thinking about getting an 8BitDo Pro 3 as a symmetrical option while I wait for a Steam Controller. But then I remembered that 3D Printing is a thing and made myself a grip. (Not my design, just one I found on printables: https://www.printables.com/model/174225-8bitdo-sf30-sn30-pro-grip-21-wired-support)

It’s obviously missing some features of the Pro 3, but I played a couple hours of Elden Ring last night and it makes a huge difference in comfort. I still have some rough spots to sand down on the back, but I’m pretty impressed. Size-wise it’s about the same as my Ultimate 2C, but now I don’t have to remap my brain as much to find the dpad when I switch between handheld and docked mode on the steam deck.
Steam Controller 2 Review

33 comments • i.redd.it

All controllers were paid with my own money , controllers pictured Xbox Controller , Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC , Steam Controller 2 ; Switch 2 Pro Controller.

So i got the steam controller 2 to replace my Xbox controller since it’s the second one with light use to develop stick drift.

I got the steam controller a few days ago , and this thing blew me away , I wasn’t expecting much but this has turned into my favourite controller.

- Build Quality on this thing is top notch , I don’t know why some reviewers are saying it’s cheap , nothing about it feels cheap , plastic is quality , button presses are nice , not clicky and not to mushy , and def not noisy.

- Comfort was my main concern before getting this controller as it looked big but once in the hand it feels perfect in the hand (larger hands) , everything is in all the right spots , I honestly prefer this controller now over everything pictured , it’s honestly perfect. Xbox controller has been my go to for years as far as …
GameSir Tegenaria Lite [T3 Lite] D-Pad + Face Button Swap

26 comments • i.redd.it

L1 and R1 sometimes getting stuck and decided to open this controller to check what’s causing it.

Surprisingly, it has an inner frame where the board was attached via screws. This frame also holds the rumble motors, shoulder buttons, and trigger buttons. DS2-DS4 also has this kind of frame (well this is based on a PS controller), DualSense also has this frame but I think it’s a bit hassle to detach unlike to DS2-DS4.

Moving on, you don’t actually need to unscrew everything, you just need to unscrew the ones that is attached to the shell to detach it.

And here it is, after seeing the D-Pad and Face Buttons, it reminds that it looks like the PS1 controller to DS5. I’ve search for my defective DS4, disassembled it and test fitted the D-Pad and Face Buttons to this GameSir T3 Lite.

It does fit to the slots, all I need to do is cut the little nubs on the face buttons leaving the wider nubs to properly insert it in the slot. For the D-Pad, I did cut the elevations …

The kangaroo pouch is life changing

I picked up the Aer go pack 2, and I didn’t expect to love it so much.

For context, I was looking for a lighter backpack as my previous backpack which was baboon to the moon city backpack was really heavy after packing my daily EDC in.

Was considering between couple backpack and eventually narrowed it down to bellroy lite ready pack and the Aer go pack 2. Despite the lite ready pack being lighter, it could not beat the usefulness off the kangaroo pouch and the 2 external bottle holder.

TLDR; I adore the kangaroo pouch

Quick Tip - pack a small tote bag

65 comments • reddit.com

On my last trip for a wedding, I flew with a 45l carry on (Mystery Ranch Rover). A connecting flight was cancelled, but I got on a standby flight at the last minute. However, they forced me to gate check as in, “you can gate check or stay behind.” The bummer was I had a laptop, expensive binoculars, and some other fragile items I was sure would get damaged by checking the soft bag.

Fortunately, I had packed my wife’s 25l Eddie Bauer tote bag to use during the trip. I was able to pull out all the stuff I cared about about and keep that under the seat. I think I’m going to make sure and always pack something like that tote bag in case this happens again, which seems likely since the overhead bins now fill up so quickly.
Washing clothes....a highlight of the trip(s)

34 comments • reddit.com

So, I am a dad and we have three teenage boys. We usually will travel with a carryon roller bag (sampsonite we brought from Costco). This year, I traveled with an Osprey and my oldest traveled with a dry bag he converted into his backpack.

We will typically go for ¹²⁄₁₃ days. I do laundry mid trip. I find a local laundromat and leave the family back at the hotel.

We just got back from Japan but I have had similar experiences through out Europe. For the family, they dont mind a down evening of sitting in the hotel for three hours.

I love starting a wash and grabbing a drink. During the wash faze, I went to a bar where the bartender served drinks and played jazz music (both English and Japanese). There were 6 chairs. Just fun. Nothing crazy.

For the drying phase, that gave me ⁶⁰⁄₉₀ minutes. Went to a rock and roll bar in the neighborhood. The first 10 minutes I was with the bar owner and his buddy watching Wembelton tennis. After 10 minutes, the owner …

Lufthansa group has new baggage rules

75 comments • reddit.com

Lufthansa has officially joined the growing list of airlines charging passengers for standard hand luggage.

The German carrier introduced this restrictive policy for all new bookings made from 28 April 2026.
The updated baggage rules affect all scheduled journeys departing on or after 19 May 2026. Under the new system, Lufthansa has completely eliminated free cabin suitcases on short- and medium-haul routes. The airline launched a new Economy Basic tariff specifically designed to implement these baggage restrictions.
Passengers purchasing this basic ticket are restricted to a single small personal item at no extra cost.
Lufthansa requires this complimentary item to fit completely beneath the seat in front of the passenger.
The dimensions for this single free item must not exceed approximately 40 × 30 × 15 cm.

Travelling with a standard larger cabin bag now requires a separate additional payment.

Fees for bringing a larger hand luggage item on board start at roughly 15 Euros per …
Thoughts from 2 months in SEA on 26L

13 comments • i.redd.it

This is a followup post to the advice post I made for this sub, four months in SEA. Four months turned into 3 months, and now while I’m in China with my family I figure I can get gifts for myself and people back home, so I will be one bagging no longer.

This was my first big solo trip away from home and the first time I’ve traveled without a suitcase. Honestly, for whatever reason, I thought that sub 30 liter packs would be the golden standard. While I was on the trip, I met exactly one person who packed less than 26 liters, but I met many people who recognized the convenience of having just the backpack.

Looking back, my constraints for this trip (mainly having to pack my computer because of work) made 26 liters a touch small for me. On airport days, my bag was just under 8 kilos, but I would guess that just walking around it was closer to 8.5-9 kilos. If I didn’t have to work, the cutting of ~1-2 kilos of weight and a saving some volume would have made this …

Spent a full month living out of one bag, split between remote work and actually traveling around. Put together the actual list of what I packed, might help anyone else figuring out how to do this.

Bag

1x ~35L travel backpack, fits carry on size limits so I never have to check it

Clothing

4x quick dry or merino tops, don’t hold odor and dry overnight

2x pants (1 everyday quick dry pair, 1 slightly nicer pair for the occasional coworking space visit or dinner out)

1x rain shell, doubles as a light jacket when it’s not raining

5 days worth of underwear and socks, handwashed and rotated instead of packing a full month of it

CTB26 vs. CPL24 (for 1 bag travel)

26 comments • reddit.com

Hello all!
I’m curious what people’s thoughts are on the CPL24 vs. CTB26 for a 1 bag travel bag for trips lasting a weekend, potentially longer?

I prefer the 840d that comes on the CPL24 (I don’t believe the CTB26 has a 840d option?) I also don’t NEED the external water bottle pockets, although I’m sure they’re handy to have.

Is the additional 2L of the CTB26 really a noticeable difference to people that have experience with both bags?

Appreciate any guidance ya’ll could give me! 🤙🏻

Got my first ever controller. I have some questions.

26 comments • i.redd.it
I got the game sir nova 2 lite. I’ve never used an controller before so I honestly don’t have anything to compare it with. I wanted a decent controller without spending too much and where I’m from this controller sells for like 25-26 dollars. So far it’s pretty good everything works as it should. I have some questions.
1. First of all how in the world do I aim with this thing in Shooters, any tips or guides to improve.
Currently for right side I press on A/B/X/Y with the right index finger and press RB and RT with my middle finger.

And for left side I keep my middle and index finger on LT and LB

The thumbs stay on the stick’s.

The problem is i can’t comfortably press on back buttons like this. What should I change?
1. I hear something loose inside the USB dongle when I shake it. At first I thought it’s broken but it works perfectly so should I still be concerned?
2. Any tips on how to not damage the controller or anything I should avoid doing? …
Mini early non-expert review of the new Hyper X Talon controller

16 comments • reddit.com

(this is not an affiliated or sponsored post. I purchased this from HP’s website with my own money, I have no affiliation with HP/hyper X )

1) Price, msrp is $160 USD. HP was doing 4th of July sales and codes+my student discount I was able to get it for around $100

2) this controller is very very new, I had a hard time finding reviews or anything about it. It’s basically only sold on the HP and hyper x websites RN I don’t even think it’s on Amazon yet. So I wanted to at least post my experience for future consumers

3)It’s an Xbox/PC controller, can be used wired, Bluetooth or USB dongle (USB A with no USB c adapter)

4)comes with 2 trigger options, 2 d pad options, a couple of different analog stick options, a USB cable, a nice carrying case and a little clip thing that can be used to clamp onto your phone for mobile gamers.

So here’s the gist. I wanted a controller, but I normally play PC games with mouse+ keyboard so I didn’t want to …
Flydigi Apex 6 FCC registration: picture gallery and some analysis of the information

22 comments • reddit.com
I spotted that Flydigi recently registered the Apex 6 with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the US. This tends to be a reliable forward indicator of product releases and the main product details tend to be final/near final at this stage in order to go through testing and be approved.

In the gallery:
- External photos: pictures 1-6
- Internal photos: pictures 7-14
- User manual: pictures 15-18
What appears to be new: swappable mode triggers, haptic triggers
- The mechanism to change trigger modes is visible on the rear of the controller and on the inside, and resembles that on the Vader 5 Pro. The external slider tabs rotate the internal parts, to move microswitches behind the triggers and shorten trigger travel distance.
- The large ‘adaptive trigger’ mechanisms that previously occupied that space are no longer visible. The page describing ‘force feedback triggers’ has been removed in the manual.

Hi everyone,

So I bought this last week and thought to leave a review here. This is my first controller (after being a long time KB+M player) and I’m really liking it.

Build Quality & Feel:

The build quality is very good and premium. The in-hand feel is nice and doesn’t feel cheap at all. The controller is very comfortable and doesn’t feel heavy at all while playing for long hours.

The face buttons are little tight but not too much just like membrane buttons but they don’t feel bad. The D-pad is really good which is mechanical round disc type and it works really well without much wrong inputs and is quite clicky and easy to press.

The triggers are also very good and I didn’t faced any issues with them (however I would recommend to avoid using trigger locks as I saw a few users told …

I was going through my travel stuff and realized I have a few things that somehow make it into every packing list even though I barely ever touch them.

For me it’s usually backup earbuds or extra cables. Not because I actually need them, but because my brain goes “what if” and they end up in the bag again.

I have long resisted the ereader because I did not like the idea of paying for digital media that I could own in physical. I also am an English graduate and must admit that the thought of reading from a screen was unromantic to me (which I will fully admit is a little snobby and a silly problem). I am so accustomed to dogearing pages and writing in the margins that I thought the inability to do so would be frustrating. I finally decided to get a Kobo this spring to experiment after my last shot at an ereader in 2016, and I am very happy with the decision. Mostly, the flexibility of having my library with me has been incredible. I like to read multiple titles at a time, and I used to carry with me two to four books while traveling (insanity). I am currently reading a 550 page biography and a 400 page novel, and I am very pleased to not be lugging them around with me right now!

I tested the Decathlon Travel 500 Organizer 30L in a Ryanair sizer – it actually fits

49 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been looking for a backpack that works well for one-bag travel while still being comfortable enough for hiking and longer trips.

I recently bought the Decathlon Travel 500 Organizer 30L. According to Decathlon, its dimensions are 50 × 28 × 22 cm, while Ryanair’s free personal item limit is 40 × 25 × 20 cm. So on paper it definitely shouldn’t fit.

To my surprise… it fit.

There was a heatwave in Europe during my trip, but I still really enjoyed it! It was a mixture of city trips, hiking and day trips. And all low budget: so cheap accomodations, saving money on food etc.

Weight of everything I took without the electronics = 11 kg - 2,7 = ~8,3 kg (18 lbs)

I keep finding new uses for the Evergoods CAP2 — it’s more than just a tech pouch

13 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been using the Evergoods CAP2 for a while now, and honestly, this is one of those pouches that keeps surprising me. On paper it’s just a 2L pouch, but in real use it feels like a little gear station that can be repurposed in a bunch of different ways.
I recently got the X-Pac version with the coyote interior, and that combo looks really good in person. Black outside, coyote inside — way better than the usual bright orange lining in my opinion. I also added my own paracord zipper pulls because I like customizing my pouches a bit.
What I like most about the CAP2 is how structured it is. It opens wide, stands up on a desk, and the middle divider can swing either direction depending on how you want to pack it. That makes it feel less like a pouch and more like a small desk caddy.
I’ve been testing different packouts with it:
Office / coffee shop carry:
Laptop charger, 20W charger, cables, AirPods, Soundcore earbuds, vitamins, pen, phone stand, sanitizer, small accessory pouch, and a …

The Shenwan Q37 Pro is my new favorite mini controller

20 comments • reddit.com

(Sorry, first post in this subreddit. I’m not affiliated with any brands and I bought these controllers with my own money.)

I’ve always liked mini controllers. Even if I don’t use them a ton they are just fun for the novelty of them. Ever since emulators came to iOS I’ve carried one around to break out anytime I want to game and now I think I’ve found my new favorite mini (until maybe the CRKD Atom+ comes out).

I bought a blue Q37 pro on Amazon a couple weeks back and then I saw they have a silver one now so I bought that lol. Overall, it’s a really good controller. Really light and thin (only 15mm with the joysticks) and takes up very little room in a jean pocket. It’s not as invisible in the pocket as say a 8bitdo Micro but it’s still fairly easily to forget it’s in there.

And despite me mainly getting it to have something a little more ergonomic to play 2D platformers with, I was surprised by how good the joysticks were. Accurate and no cardinal snapping that I could see while …
Flydigi Vader 5 Pro - I think I’m Finally Done with Flydigi

76 comments • reddit.com

I bought the Vader 5 Pro from Amazon with my own money and have no affiliation with Flydigi or any other controller company.

TLDR; the Vader 5 Pro is almost perfect, but the actuation of the thumbsticks sucks, leading to accidental presses and making consistent high-level gameplay impossible.

I love the Flydigi Vader controllers - the looks, the button layout, the software (when it works as intended), but after owning the Vader 3, 4, and now 5, I might finally be ready to stop spending my money with them and move on.

I received the Vader 5 Pro v2 (yay) and got everything set up. Software works great, love the new shoulder buttons, and just like previous iterations, the size of the controller just feels good. Also, the addition of paddles on the back is a welcome change with perfect placement (IMO) and the tension adjustment knobs ~~actually~~ finally working as intended.

But for whatever reason, it’s always 2 steps forward and 1 step back with these Vader controllers. I haven’t seen a …

Vader 5 pro right stick infinite press bug

22 comments • v.redd.it

I’ve been playing with this controller for barely 2 months now, and I absolutely love it. But just now, for no reason (I really take good care of it), a major bug appeared: my right stick click (R3) is registered as constantly pressed down/spam when I don’t even touch it.

As you can see in the video, it’s stuck on infinite press/spam.

Here is what I’ve already tried to fix it:

I completely removed the plastic thumbstick to make sure it wasn’t pushing too hard on the mechanism, but the button stays completely triggered on the tester

I reset the controller to factory settings

Has anyone faced this issue?

Leadjoy Saber Plus Quick Review

18 comments • reddit.com

Just received my Saber Plus yesterday and have put a bit of time into it. I purchased the controller myself and have no affiliation with anything other than afternoon naps.

2 sentence bottom line: if you’re looking for a controller for dpad centric use, look elsewhere, it’s an extremely cheap and weirdly shallow pad that has, and I hate to say it, a similar but worse feeling Switch Pro-esque controller dpad. If you’re looking for a symmetrical but primarily joystick centric use case, this controller is superb in all other ways and I doubt you’d be disappointed.

Like many of you here, I’m annoyingly picky when it comes to feel and ergonomics.

I’m mainly a mouse and keyboard user, but I do use controllers for third person games (dead space, dark souls, etc), retro emulation, and platformers/RPGs (Silksong, Chrono Trigger, etc).

Generally, I prefer an asymmetrical/Xbox layout for third person games - my favorite so far being the GameSir G7 Pro (with a minor asterisk that the face …

New bag arrived! Rocking the navy blue set-up.

A nice cleanse for my eyes after owning so many black bags.

This will be my new EDC loadout, except for the Bose speaker, added only cause it complements the blue loadout.

If I’m wearing the XM6 instead of storing it in the bag, I can fit my Canon R7 with the Sigma 17-40 attached.

Tomtoc T26 5.5L
- Osmo Pocket 4
- Sony XM6
- UGREEN 25K mAh Power Bank
- Anker Prime Charger
- Kingston SSD
- Micro Hydro Flask
- Secrid Wallet
- Cables, not included in the picture
Quick Review:
- With the full loadout, the Tomtoc still feels comfortable on my body and shoulder.
- First time owning an X-Pac bag, and I’m surprised by the texture and overall quality. We’ll see long term how it handles “dimples”.
- YKK zippers are as good as expected.
- My gadgets fit comfortably and feel safe inside the bag.
- The bag might be a bit big , but it gives me flexibility. I can fit my mirrorless camera, Switch 2, headset, controllers, for a quick day-out essentials.

I love knowing I can easily walk out on a taxi scam

69 comments • reddit.com

Recently I flew into Almaty, Kazakhstan. I couldn’t get the local ride hailing app to work so I was forced to use an airport taxi. When I got to the destination the taxi tried to overcharge me 10x the price (he wanted $50 usd equivalent for a 10 minute ride instead of the $3-$5 that is normal). Knowing I have my bag in hand (and not in the trunk) and can just walk at any moment is a very empowering when arguing over the price.

Oh by the way, it’s very therapeutic to curse out a scammer
I packed for a 5-day trip with one bag and realized I brought things I never even touched

53 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been trying to get better at packing lighter because every trip I end up carrying stuff I never use.

Last weekend I was sitting on my bed with my backpack open my laptop next to me checking my flight details and my phone in my hand playing on grandprize also looking through packing lists I kept adding things because I thought I might need them.

Five days later I got home and realized I never touched an extra pair of shoes half the clothes I packed, or a bunch of little gadgets I was convinced would come in handy. It kind of made me realize I don’t pack for the trip I’m taking I pack for every situation that probably won’t happen.

I’m starting to think packing light has more to do with trusting yourself to figure things out than finding the perfect packing list.

2 weeks in Japan

31 comments • reddit.com

I’m heading to Japan for 2 weeks, splitting my time between city exploration and beach/island vibes.
Itinerary: Tokyo ➡️ Okinawa (Ishigaki, Taketomi & Iriomote) ➡️ Osaka ➡️ Kyoto.
Because I’m hitting the islands for some snorkeling, my packing list is a bit of a hybrid between city casual and water gear.
The Pack & Organization
Osprey Kestrel 38: I know some people shy away from top-loaders for travel, but this isn’t my first rodeo. I used a very similar setup for a trip to Malaysia and it worked flawlessly. The secret to making a top-loader work is relying heavily on packing cubes to keep everything organized and easily accessible. Plus, the suspension system and carry comfort on this pack are unbeatable for long transit days.
Everything fits like a glove with room to spare. Just wanted to share my loadout for anyone planning a similar hybrid city/beach trip. Let me know if you have any questions about the gear!
After a dozen work trips a year, this is my dialed in conference one bag

33 comments • reddit.com

I fly out for conferences like a dozen times a year, and I’ve finally dialed in my onebag work setup to where I’m happy with it. Figured I’d share.

The biggest pain was never fitting everything in. It was my phone dying way too fast on conference days. All day I’m scanning in at check-in, taking notes, checking the schedule, adding people on WhatsApp to swap contacts, and my phone would be at 20% before lunch. The outlets at the venue are always taken. So I rebuilt the whole kit around two ideas: carry less, and stay topped up.

One carry-on covers it. This is what I run for a 3 to 5 day conference:

Clothes (rolled into a packing cube)

A wrinkle-free blazer (wear it on the plane)

Dark dress pants x2 (one for the venue, one casual enough for dinners)

Merino wool tees x3 (don’t smell, easy to care for)

A button-up shirt x1 (backup for formal stuff)

Underwear x5, wool socks x4

White sneakers x1 (in a shoe bag)

Evergoods Civic Access Sling 1L — small but surprisingly usable

11 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been using the new Evergoods Civic Access Sling 1L for a little bit now, and I wanted to share some honest thoughts because I didn’t want to review it right away just based on hype.

For context, I’m a big Evergoods fan, but this one had me curious because 1L sounds really small on paper. I mostly see this as a “destination sling” more than a full travel sling. Basically, it’s the kind of bag I’d pack inside a larger backpack or suitcase, then use once I get to the city/hotel/destination. It also works as a very minimal daily EDC sling if you don’t carry too much.

Build quality is exactly what I expected from Evergoods. The outside is 840D ballistic nylon with DWR coating, the inside has that gray 210D nylon lining they use, and the zippers/buckle feel very premium. The Duraflex buckle has that nice crisp snap to it. Small thing, but it does make the bag feel quality.

What I was able to fit:
iPhone Pro Max size phone in the back area
Evergoods bifold wallet

Do the straps break in eventually?

4 comments • reddit.com

I bought an MPL22 about six months ago and it’s perfect except the straps feel very stiff to me. I’ve tried flexing / bending / rolling them but that didn’t make much difference. Curious to hear from others if I can expect the straps to soften up with more use… Should I load it up with something heavy and wear it around the house next?

In case it matters: I’m a medium sized woman - I don‘t find the straps too thin, I think they are slightly too wide, a bit stiff/thick, and slightly too far apart. Buckling the sternum strap helps with the last bit. Mostly it’s the stiffness I hope to solve.
What's your go-to clothing folding method for Evergoods packing? (Evergoods + Peak Design Packing Cubes)

5 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been dialing in my travel setup and wanted to see what methods everyone here has settled on.

My current setup includes:

1× Evergoods 8L Packing Cube

1× Evergoods 4L Packing Cube

Several Peak Design Medium and Small Packing Cubes

These all get rotated between my CTB26 and other travel bags depending on the trip.

For those using Evergoods or Peak Design packing cubes:

Do you roll your clothes?

Do you use the KonMari/file-fold method?

Do you flat fold and stack everything?

Or have you landed on some hybrid approach?

I’m not necessarily trying to maximize every last cubic inch. I’m more interested in the best balance of: Easy access, Minimal wrinkles, Staying organized throughout the trip, Making good use of the compression cubes.

If you’ve experimented with different methods and found one that works particularly well with Evergoods bags, I’d love to hear what you’ve settled on and why.

Gamepad Input Latency Tier Lists (Wired & Wireless) - Hardware Tested

35 comments • reddit.com
Transparency Disclosure: Most of the controllers featured here were purchased with my own money, while roughly a third were provided by various brands for review. I have no active sponsorships or commercial interests tied to any brand in this post. The rankings are based purely on raw hardware measurements collected over the past year. Additionally, the images were generated using a custom tier builder I created for my site, Gamepadla, which is completely free for anyone to use.

Hey everyone. I’m sharing two latency tier lists for gamepads - covering both wired and wireless connections - based on data gathered using the Prometheus 82 hardware test bench for measuring input lag.

To give a better idea of actual in-game responsiveness, the tier list uses a weighted grading system called LatScore. This score accounts for button latency, stick latency, and signal stability (jitter).

Here is how the calculation works:

Is it worth installing TMR joysticks on my Xbox Series X controller, or is Hall effect enough?

So my current controller (normal Xbox Series x controller), but it’s on it’s final days unfortunately. So I’m looking for a new controller and I was mainly think about one of this three:

Wolverine v3 pro Wireless: What I understand it’s a great controller in terms of durability, buttons and comfort but a juicy price. It’s on sale now (refurbished) and is like 130 usd (1300kr).

G7 pro HE Tri-mode: So I understand it like this is a liked controller by many but have not really understand why, is it the durability or like the feel? And does it have any real features or is it more like a regular Xbox controller with a nice style?

G7 pro 8k: I don’t really know the difference between the 8k and HE but what I have understood it’s also a liked controller.

I thought about the Vader 5 pro but then I learn that they can’t connect to my xbox without a adapter wich I’m not a fan of.

I had the classic backpack journey nearly every German my age did I guess:
Scout -> 4You -> Eastpak -> Dakine

While studying I got myself a colourful Ethnotek, but as soon as I started to work I wanted something more serious and had to carry a laptop. I stumbled across Tropicfeel and the Nest backpack was a wonderful fit for me. Good size for EDC, fit my laptop, streamlined and with it’s addons great for a weekend trip to my hometown. In retrospect some more quick access would have been nice.

Then I started to work with CAD programs and my Laptop grew significantly to chunky 16”. But the Nest didn’t.

And so I went down the rabbit hole to find a great new backpack (I mostly „blame“ Nomads Nation here) and after weeks of research I settled down on the Aer City Pack 1 in Xpac. I still love it for the chunky straps, the orange interior and the open laptop compartment, as I don‘t have to carry a …
CAP1 Use Case, Loadout, and Mini Review

19 comments • reddit.com

I’ve been using the CAP1 for about two months and it’s been a seamless bit of kit. My core purpose for using the CAP1 is as a bridge between use cases. It contains the gear that I bring and use all the time, no matter which bag or scenario I swap to. So instead of moving these individual items between bags, I just grab the CAP1. Going to work? Throw it into the CPL16. Travelling? Into the CTB26. Quick coffee? Into the car’s glove box and then I can pick and choose what I might need to line my pockets instead of bringing the whole thing.

It’s especially useful when travelling though, it’s much easier moving it between my luggage into my sling with my camera instead of moving individual items (or worse, buying duplicates). I also use everything in my CAP1 significantly more when travelling. Once I’m back at the hotel, I lay it out so I can still access it and then I can throw it back into luggage when we move on. It’s been a game changer.

Trip Report: 12 days between Aarhus, Copenhagen & Paris (28L)

46 comments • reddit.com
I had a 12-day trip between Aarhus, Copenhagen, and Paris, mostly hanging out with family and enjoying the usual café scene, museum visits, city walks, bar hopping, you name it.

Transportation included: a KLM flight, Icelandair, a Ryanair flight, a couple of long-distance buses, a train, and the metro. Navigating all that with the 28L was a breeze!

What worked:
- I’ve really come to appreciate the 28L form factor from Bellroy. It’s wild to think I can travel to a different continent with just a 28L and not feel like I need anything.
- I packed a medium-weight and a light-weight t-shirt from W&P. I haven’t shared much about the light version, but wow, I could practically live in these. They weigh just about nothing. I bought mine at full sticker price, and it’s definitely a buy-once cry-once situation. Pricy but oh so worth it. Highly recommend.

First-time (serious) onebag - Packing List 9 Days in Athens (Summer)

66 comments • reddit.com

I’m technically not new to the onebag concept, but I’ve always checked in my luggage because my one bag is a hiking pack (24L) which is of course too tall to comply the carry-on size (plus I’m almost always traveling with my partner who always has a huge pack with him, so I always end up checking bags with him anyway). In the past few trips, there has always been huge delays til our packs were unloaded at the airport carousel to pick up (up to 2 hrs one time). So now I’ve been lurking on this sub and got out my trusty smaller 18L hiking pack to finally do some serious onebagging (i.e. no checking in luggage). It’s still ever slightly too big for a personal item, but complies as regular carry on. For context, I’m a hobbit-sized lady in her 30s with (mildly) chronic shoulder/back pain, hence why I need hiking pack with hip belts to avoid too much pressure on my shoulders.

Would appreciate any feedback on this packing list. Thank you!!

2 Weeks in the Philippines with a CPL16 (14.4 lbs)

79 comments • reddit.com

*Edited w/ implementing some suggestions*

After years of traveling with a 40L bag (usually an Osprey Farpoint), I decided to challenge myself for my upcoming Philippines trip: 2 weeks with only a 16L personal item.

This isn’t a necessity-driven onebag trip. My wife will have a checked roller, so if I forget something or we pick up souvenirs, there’s a built-in safety net. That actually makes this the perfect low-risk opportunity to experiment and see how small I can realistically go.

I’m not a fashion-heavy traveler…mostly neutral tees, shorts, and simple layers. So outfit repeating doesn’t bother me. Two weeks in the Philippines in summer felt like the ideal test case: hot weather, lighter clothes, easier laundry. Wins all the way around.

I’m also an ultralight backpacker, so minimalism isn’t new to me… but cutting my travel loadout from 40L down to 16L feels like a completely different feat haha. Living out of a backpack has always appealed to me.

This Hurts - Review of the new CAS1 (Civic Access Sling 1L)

53 comments • reddit.com

This hurts to say - I am returning the CAS1. I own a few EG gear (CTB26, CBB22, CAS2 v1, CAP0.5) and I’ve successfully influenced others to buy EG gear. My position still stands: I love EG gear and continue to recommend them.

The CAS1 on paper makes a lot of sense to me. Just large enough for a pocket dump for when I don’t need the extra capacity of a CAS2, which is my absolute most-used gear/bag. It’s rare I leave the house and don’t have the CAS2 on me.

Initial impressions of the CAS1 was that it was quite small and a bit oddly organized. The back retaining section expands a lot more than I realized – this ended up being fine/okay, if I needed to double-stack flat items against each other. I would rather a slimmer back retaining section to allow for the main compartment to shine. The interior zipper pocket is nice, but the 2 smaller slip pockets inside that pocket are really, really small and short. I ended up putting bandaids for my kids in there, but …
First EG bag

15 comments • i.redd.it

Recently got the CTB20 - after some use, I’m absolutely loving it! Had a lot of hesitations due to controversies online, but back digging isn’t something that happens to me, and the harnesses were comfortable even when heavily loaded out. Only caveat is it sometimes pressed into my lower chest, but a quick move of the straps fixed that.

It just has everything I’d ever need in a good EDC bag; qap, laptop compartment with possibility for multiple devices, big water bottle holders, etc. Also read some things online about the low quality fabric, and yes it’s not 840 or 1680d but still feels very durable and premium.

Only issue is given the weight and extra structure/padding, I wouldn’t use it as my only bag on an airplane holiday. However, as someone who travels as much within my country on rails, it’s perfect for that.

Next on the list is the CAP2!
Extreme weather stress test (Typhoon) for CTB 26L X-Pac

11 comments • reddit.com
Took my recently bought CTB 26L X-Pac out for a weather test during the Typhoon Mekkhala downpour in Taipei this morning. About a 15-minute scooter ride from home to work, through one of the heaviest rainstorms I’ve ever ridden in.

Loadout
- Main compartment: Peak Design pouches (Tech + Wash) at the bottom, Ziploc bag with a change of clothes, CAP 1L, 0.5L, Mx Master 4 mouse.
- Laptop compartment: 14” MacBook Pro, some documents filed.
- Quick-access pouches: Misc. EDC gear + gym towel.
Overall, the main compartment stayed mostly dry. The only issue was the very bottom, where both PD pouches got slightly damp. My guess is either due to the small gap between the AquaGuard zippers, or moisture soaked in from the bottom while the bag was standing upright.

The front quick-access pocket was also a little damp around the zipper gap, enough to get my gym towel slightly wet, but nothing major.

The side and rear quick-access pocket stayed completely dry. Same goes for the laptop compartment, …
2 Weeks in the Philippines with a CPL16 (14.4 lbs)

14 comments • reddit.com
I’ve always traveled with larger bags—usually my Osprey Farpoint 40—but for this trip I wanted to see how far I could push my favorite bag: the CPL16.

This isn’t a necessity-driven packing challenge. My wife is bringing a checked roller, so it’s not like we’re skipping baggage claim entirely. But that actually makes it a low-risk opportunity to experiment. If I forget something, I can buy it there. If we pick up souvenirs, they can always come home in her luggage.

I’m definitely not a fashion-focused traveler. My wardrobe is basically neutral-colored t-shirts, shorts, and pants, so I don’t mind repeating outfits. Two weeks in the Philippines during summer seemed like the perfect environment to try traveling this light.

After a few rounds of editing, I’ve cut most of my “just in case” items and managed to get everything into the CPL16. It’s packed fairly full, but still comfortable.

New Bag Day - TD25 XPAC

14 comments • reddit.com

The stealth black X-Pac X42 exterior with the coyote brown interior is such a great combination. The coyote lining looks even better in person and makes everything inside easy to see. The build quality is exactly what I’d expect from EVERGOODS: rock solid, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly well put together.

Also have to give props to EVERGOODS on shipping. I ordered right when the drop opened on Tuesday and it showed up Friday. That’s impressively fast.

I’m considering using it as my personal item on longer international trips alongside my Tortuga travel backpack. I like the flexibility of having a duffel I can pull out for the flight while keeping the backpack in the overhead. The TD25 dimensions are 16.1” × 8” × 11.6”, so it seems like it should fit within the personal item allowances of the major carriers I fly most (British Airways, American, Delta, and United), but I’m curious about real-world experiences.

Not really worried about the stricter European or Southeast Asian …

You're Pressing Buttons Harder Than You Think | LTT Labs

6 comments • lttlabs.com

With the recent release of the Steam Controller (2026), LTT Labs collected controllers from around the office to perform testing for LinusTechTips and ShortCircuit videos, but within the team we were noting the variety of face buttons(A, B, X, Y). They’re all shaped differently, and combined with the ergonomics of the controller body, they can feel different to press as well.

Strangely, we weren’t able to find any force test results online, so we’re going to (partially) remedy that! We have the tools to check these out, so we did some poking and prodding with our test stand and force gauge.

We likely received some of these controllers as review units, but this isn’t a review of the controllers, more of an exploration of the button mechanics and testing. Let us know if you have any questions!

Uniqlo Utility Backpack, ask me anything

145 comments • i.redd.it

I ran across the Utility Backpack in a random Uniqlo in Ho Chi Minh City. It felt good in the hand, a lot sturdier than the Multi Pocket Backpack. Padding and ventilation on the straps and back feels a lot more plush too.



I’ve been using it for a day, walking around urban Vietnam for about 16000 steps in about 30deg Celsius heat, carrying whatever a fully loaded Toshi 6l sling weighs. Gotta say it’s been really, really comfortable. So much so that I’m gonna replace my Toshi backpack back home with this one, just to see how it carries.



It’s not a premium bag, but it’s… utilitarian in the best way. Heh heh.



And yes, the olive is gorgeous.

Water Resistant Zippers vs Reverse Coil

85 comments • reddit.com

You all were so helpful in helping me decide on colors last time, I thought I’d ask one more question. I’ll try to be brief but do need to explain context a bit.

I’m trying to design a very premium sling. Initially, the concept collection was Vela (sail) so gravitated towards sail cloth inspired fabric and naturally went with laminated zippers.

I am putting a ton of effort into not compromising on construction and materials and was going to offer a lifetime warranty but ended up going with 8-year. But things like finished seams, high tier YKK zippers, PVD coated hardware.

But this collection isn’t meant to be a rugged outdoor collection. More of a fashionable city, everyday, type sling. Reverse coil zippers add a bit of water resistance as well. The fabric is water resistant as well. So maybe that is good enough?

Also, keep in mind with lamination, there are different quality. Low end laminates will begin to delaminate often in < 1 year. Good laminates …
Finally found the perfect sling, bellroy venture ready 2.5L

I’ve bought so many damn slings, diff sizes, so many brands (code of bell, aer, evergoods, chrome, cotopaxi, heimplanet, Thule, fjallraven, baggu, the list goes on) and finally I’ve found the one!!!



Bellroy venture ready 2.5L. This sling has been out for a minute but it didnt catch my eye. Saw so many reviews that were raving about it, so grabbed one in black. Glad its the one without the shiny zippers and more subdued branding.



Its the perfect size. I would not want any bigger or smaller and most importantly it lays on the body so well! Thats been my biggest gripe with almost every sling, but the bellroy looks and feels good. I just wish i would have bought it 2 years ago. Now I can stop spending money on slings!

New air passenger rights in Europe include standardized dimensions for carry-ons

265 comments • reddit.com

Some highlights:

The new rules now include the right to carry on board, without additional fee, one personal item, such as a small bag or backpack. On the insistence of MEPs price transparency and the comparability of air tickets was increased by obliging airlines, intermediaries and search portals to always display the air fare inclusive of carry-on luggage at the outset of the book process. Negotiators agreed that airlines may offer cheaper tickets for passengers who choose voluntarily to travel without hand luggage.

Air passengers will no longer be charged additional fees for correcting name spelling errors or for getting a printed version of a boarding pass if they have already checked in.

Maximum dimensions for a personal item will be 40cm by 30cm by 15cm. Maximum dimensions for carry-on luggage will be width+height+depth=100cm. Maximum weight will be 7kg.

Edit: pretty sure the luggage size requirements are just the bare minimum that all airlines must meet. If an airline …
New bag from decathlon

147 comments • i.redd.it

I’m in Canada, and in the market for my first onebag solution. Many of you have heard of the Forclaz travel 500 40L. I was going to buy this bag but I didn’t like that the waistbelt is not removable. I’m checking the website and there’s now a Quechua 30L travel 500 bag and they added a removable waist strap which is amazing. The only thing is I’d still like the 40L for the extra capacity, and I’ve heard they are updating them from some EU consumers. I’d hate to buy the 40l now just for an upgraded version with a removable hip belt to come out soon. If anybody knows about the updated 40L or has tried the Quechua 30L out, please discuss here.

I like to draw my packing list. It’s fun and makes me carefully consider each piece I want to bring. I draw most of it from memory, which also forces me to keep tabs on the individual clothing items I have. I’m posting this after the trip, which was two weeks in Georgia (usa) end of May to June.

Exactly what the title says. I’ll be staying in five different places along the way, some of which will have access to laundry machines. In the past I’ve used the same backpack as my travel bag AND my day bag, but I was given a peak design backpack recently and wanted to try it out.
whats the one piece of tech you carry that never shows up in the standard onebag gear lists?

322 comments • reddit.com

reading the standard packing lists everyone seems to converge on the same stuff. laptop, magic keyboard or similar, anker charger, kindle, maybe a folding stand. but when im at a coworking or unpacking next to actual nomads at a cafe i keep noticing tiny gear that nobody really talks about. cable bag with a magnetic clip. a particular phone stand someone swears by.

curious what falls in that category for you, the thing that punches above its weight but never makes the public gear lists

1 week hike in Yellowstone

7 comments • i.redd.it

Went on a 1 week hiking trip to Yellowstone with the wife. My tried and true TD35 as my carry-on, and using a mirror CPL24 for the first time! I really enjoyed carrying the CPL24, really lives up to the hype. Even on the 2 8-11 mile hikes we took, the CPL24 worked really admirably, once I figured out the best way to carry for me (which was very very high and tight and high sternum strap). I was surprised it felt light and comfortable. Had snacks for 2, 16oz water bottle, 3 liter water bladder, some binoculars, small camera optics, and light outerwear. Shoulder strap passthrough for the water bladder tube worked great. My only cons are no hip belt and a back panel that is not very ventilated. Will I use the CPL on longer 15+mile hikes? Perhaps not, but for 11miles and almost 6hrs, I had no issues with it! Very happy with this purchase!

My first custom controller!!

31 comments • reddit.com

I’ve wanted a custom Xbox controller through Design Lab since high school. This past year I’ve been rocking a PowerA wired controller; it gets the job done, but leaves a lot to be desired.

My mom recently got a Windows laptop for school, which came with Microsoft Premium, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for a year and a free custom controller. She let me design my own, and with all the add-ons I wanted, it only came out to $37–38

The timing couldn’t have been better either. I just started playing The Witcher 3 for the first time, and it happened to land right around the game’s 10th anniversary, which came with a special faceplate design. Felt like it was meant to be!

Not an ad, just excited to finally have something I’ve wanted for years. :))
8bitdo M30 Controller for Xbox

19 comments • i.redd.it

Soo been looking for a new controller for my PC/Switch 2 to play games Street Fighter/ MVC as the controllers I own have terrible dpads.

Picked up M30 Xbox edition and man this controller is near perfection!

- Build quality is amazing

- Dpad is one of the best if not the best dpad I’ve ever used!

- First 6 button controller for me and I absolutely love it for fighters!

- I was nervous about the size of the controller but honestly for my large hands this controller is surprisingly comfortable , I’m actually perfectly fine with its size!

Cons which are more nitpicks

- If this controller was 2.4G wireless it would literally be my perfectly ¹⁰⁄₁₀ controller!

- annoying 8bitdo doesn’t make a switch version with the adder triggers.

I do have a Gulikit Elves 2 on the way so I will def do a comparison, but I’m sold on this controller , it’s soo good!

Day One of using a Wii U Pro Controller on modern games (PS5) and I noticed something that's gonna take me a while to get used to...

12 comments • i.redd.it

The deep placements of the D-Pad and four main buttons are way too far into the center of the controller!

No real issues with most of the games I played today but the hardest time I actually had were with Monster Hunter Wilds and Monster Hunter Sunbreak, specifically using the Insect Glaive due to the faster movements of monster and the complexity of the weapon itself like Kinsect commands (running around with left stick, holding L to enable Kinsect aim, right stick to aim, L + X to send Kinsect out and L + A to recall Kinsect all while the monster is moving around and my character trying to avoid getting hit).

Other than Monster Hunter and the one weapon, everything else felt great with the Wii U Pro Controller:

- Path of Exile II

- Onimusha demo

- 007: First Light

- Resident Evil 9 Requiem

- Final Fantasy XIV

- Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Mainly tried out this particular controller because I just remembered that I have a couple of them in storage. My early verdict, I still prefer my …
Xbox controller trigger limiters

35 comments • reddit.com

Recently I picked up this controller someone had thrown away, and when I tested it, I thought the same because the triggers wouldn’t even go halfway down.

I kept messing with it though and found these strange switches on the back that seem to block the triggers from going all the way down, they either let it go down fully, two thirds of the way down, and one third down.

I don’t play console or use controllers often, but I’ve never seen before, so I just wanted to know if these are common or why you’d want this?

Hi all,

As you’ve no doubt seen this sub is facing a wave of AI slop posts. As moderators will pick up and remove anything flagged to us, but given this is coming from a series of accounts it’s quite hard to be proactive about it.

I’ve seen people commenting about leaving the sub as a result which is tough to read given how great this community can be.

We can implement more aggressive automated moderation tools but ultimately they will have to be reviewed by a person and things will slow right down given we are a tiny team.

I suppose I’m making this post to firstly, acknowledge we have a problem, secondly, ask for any solutions particularly from any individuals who are knowledgeable about how to best use our mod tools to hold the line.

Thank you for sticking with us, with your many bags.

Indefinite Backpack Travel – Year 12! Bag stolen/gear reset

170 comments • i.redd.it
Every time I share my onebag (with everything I own), at least one person asks what happens if it gets stolen. Well, it took over a decade but it finally happened! Luckily I retained the contents of my pockets (phone, wallet, etc) but my bag with all of my tech and clothing disappeared after a few too many drinks at a bar. And surprisingly, it wasn’t stressful at all! Yeah, replacing my passport was annoying, but overall I had a blast since I used it as an excuse to reset my whole kit.

So this means, this is my first post here in YEARS in which my kit actually has some noticeable changes! I’ve replaced more gear this month than I have in the past 5 years

Trip Report: 2 Weeks in Europe, Black Tie Wedding, 30L

Recently spent two weeks in Europe with a 30L bag. Total weight when packed (including day bag) was 19.8 pounds. There is a lot of discussion about gear here, but my goal was to only use what I already had and test it out before committing to upgrading anything. Pretty happy with how it went!

Itinerary was mostly city sightseeing, but with several hiking days as well, and a black tie wedding:
- 3 days in London
- 3 days in Istanbul, including a black tie wedding
- 2 days in Bath, including a hike to Stonehenge
- 2 days hiking on the western coast of Ireland
- 3 days in Dublin
What Went Well:
- One bagging: this trip involved 5 flights, 2 trains, and lots of public transit. Sticking to only a backpack was the right choice.
- Expandable tote bag: I was doubtful about this but threw it in at the last second, and it turned out to be so useful! It was a laundry bag, shopping bag, lunch bag, etc.

I purchased this Osprey Daylite 26+6 a few months ago and have daily carried it since. However, the main reason I bought it wasn’t necessarily for daily carry. My mother-in-law had 2 scheduled back surgeries and knowing that my wife and I would be visiting and helping (6 hours away), I wanted something simple to carry to the hospital/rehab facility/hotel. Well that time has come. I’m happy to report that her surgeries were successful and she’s on the mend. Also, the one bag travel has been as equally successful.

This is a follow up to this post. I recently got back from a trip and the zipper on my mini Ikea pouch broke sadly, which meant it was time to find a new vessel for my essentials and to make a few tweaks to the contents.

9 days with mini bag, the power of ranger roll. Interrogated by customs for drug smuggling.

I spent 7 days traveling Bosnia + 2 days on a cruise ship.

My previous bag broke and my other option was a slightly oversized bag. With top handle it would have been 46cm long and about 32cm wide. I’m actually happy that I didn’t choose this bag, since I saw a man trying to fit his backpack into the bag sizer. His bag wasn’t off much, but enough for them to check. They didn’t check the bags at all on my departure flight, but on the return flight they were doing heavy checking.

I ended up taking a random small bag that I found and managed to fit everything in the picture into it. The bag dimensions when full were about: 37cmx23cmx15cm. As soon as I land I take fanny pack off the bag.

My gear was:

4x T-shirt. 5x underwear. 5x socks. 1x shorts. Powerbank + charger. Fanny pack. 1 extra phone. 14” laptop + charger. 1 jacket + sweatpants on me.

My main compromise with small bag was not bringing another shirt. I don’t sweat easily so I was okay wearing …

Just got mine today and really dig it - it fills a niche as being sized perfectly as a pocket reliever for me, which I especially wanted in the summer when I may have untrustworthy shorts pockets for my cell phone(s) and AirPods or no pockets at all.

The last pic is vs. an Aer Day Sling 3 Ultra, which I love for travel but is generally a bit too big for my day to day. I’ll probably end up removing the green hi-vis patch currently on it - also got the patches today and was curious how it’d look.
Experience with Evergoods Japan

18 comments • i.redd.it

I’m currently traveling in Japan and noticed that Evergoods Japan can ship directly to hotels. They also had quite a few bags on sale, so I decided to give it a try.

I placed my order on Sunday and received it on Wednesday. I would recommend contacting them first to make sure there’s enough time for delivery to your hotel. Their staff was very responsive and friendly. For example, if you want the bags delivered by June 14, you would normally need to place the order before June 10.

I picked up the CAS1 in OD Green for 11,000 JPY, about 69 USD, and the MHP3.5 in Coyote for 11,440 JPY (on sale) about 71 USD. Very happy with both purchases.

Feel free to ask me any questions.
