This literally captures the essence of what we are trying to achieve. I use my board as my main short-mid distance city transportation device and I want this remote to achieve exactly that - pleasure to ride without thinking about it, just grab it and it’s second nature. And I feel like we are 90% is where we want it to be - ergonomics could be improved, at least around the trigger area.
I was previously riding VX1 and while it was pretty good but I would not want to go back after riding this one.
Our goal was to make the PCB’s of the remote as small as possible for a single reason - so anyone could take the internals and make any case they want around it. So while we know that we will do our best to make the most universal and ergonomic design we can, it won’t be able to cater to every single user / hand size / preferences. And for that reason we will be making the final internal component CAD files public, so anyone can easily design their own case around it.
I do, but I’m a trigger man. Thumbwheels don’t interest me as much, especially without an “invert direction” option where rolling toward body is throttle and away from body is brake.
only if it’s Qi compatible and standards-based though
I would imagine most people don’t need the remote to connect to 2 (or more) receivers at once, but if using 2 or more receivers can be a fail safe connection, like how @b264 does with the mini, then why not
And even with these high end components the remote still had its issues early on: the receiver not paying well on the cold (though one could argue that could happen to any reciever) and the throttle pins breaking when dropped directly on in the early editions.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t be skeptical. But I don’t see the point of critiquing the price of a $150 remote concept when the community jumped on a $200 remote where it’s only promising feature was its secure connectivity.
Now mind you I love the Hoyt remote. I was one of the first to inquire about it and bought it even before the group buy.
I’m critiquing with my personal values and opinions. Not those of the community. I consider the hoyt higher up with its construction and components. But don’t get me wrong. I didn’t buy into the hoyt hype either
I stupidly didn’t look to the listing on the right.
Though I can still argue the case that the nylon pucks weren’t available in the beginning which we’re talking about. But then it’s just going to go on and on. Agree to disagree ?
This part irks me a bit. Software cost things. There just as valuable as the Material component and adds value as well. It’s nonsense to disregard it as just one small component when it’s one of its contributing features
