Iāve not actually used either of those but someone commented on my video to say that, found it interesting

For a long time in the past Iāve used a moded Wii remote and having the joystick also have the left and right move wasnāt a problem at all, you never moved it there accidentally

For me the Wii remote was my first near death experience.

Yeah back in the day before the puck or even the vx1, I was trying to use a Wii nunchuck on my very first build. What a deathtrap that was.

I used just the shell and used my custom radio inside
I donāt get the joystick complaints. They made an option to lock its motion to the y-axis so you can have a larger platform for your throttle finger and have it behave like a typical scroll wheel design. If you donāt lock it, you get the added benefit of not having to force your finger to move up and down, which can be more comfortable. Itās also like an analog stick on a console controller ā whoās had a hard time using those as throttle controls?

Pretty expensive for a remote that looks similar to the maytech v1, watched a review where the guy says itās not very ergonomic with gloves

While another remote with a display is great, and ergonomics are always good to think about, I think this kind of copy is a bit disingenuous:
Sure, the Puck has an odd shape, but it does fit in a hand.
The Puck Puck Bruce variants, and the OSRR remotes are very comfortable and ergonomic.
Trigger remotes are also accomodating to the hand.
Marketing is expected, but thereās not much reason to make a bit of a dig at other designs right out of the gate.

Id argue that this new remote was made with more priority put towards ergonomics than the puck was.
Iāve yet to try a remote that I felt was perfect in my hand. They all have flaws imo
Signal retention is 9001% more important than ergonomics I think

This is by no means a dig at company X or company Y. I have never seen 1 company advertise a remote as comfortable or specifically designed to fit in your hand. That was the overarching goal of the remote, with solid internals to back it up.

My thoughts as well. If you donāt like the X axis movement, there is an included throttle lock so it only moves in Y.
I think there just hasnāt been a properly executed joystick remote so they have a bad rap.

The end goal was turn signals. There also wasnāt a 1 axis available that ALSO had a clickable button (for cruise control). If we can get the bugs worked out (I think some of it may be VESC tool side) the production unit will have cruise control activated by triple clicking the joystick

I absolutely loved my modded wiimote when it worked. The most comfortable remote by far. That was the main inspiration.
Shouldnāt be too tough to weather proof. PCB could be potted
