I see where you’re coming from, but when I also see Mint, Sakuna, Sunnysplosion, and Dooby sharing similar or greater levels of success compared to their PLs, I feel less worried. Not all of them get a shoutout in their YouTube recap like Doki, but they do seem to be thriving.

I mean if Doki’s success encourages people to go indie, I’d personally see that as a positive. Especially if they feel their agency isn’t providing the same value as when they first joined. What concerns you about this?

Also, did you install switch films by chance?

How hard are you having to press to install these switches on the PCB? I imagine if the PCB is pressing on the switch housing hard enough to deform it and interfere with the keystroke, then it must be absurdly difficult to install in the first place.

Any pictures you can share? Can you maybe install a switch without the top housing to observe what’s happening inside?

Always loved the styling on these. Maybe I’m just a sucker for plain round headlights and plain round gauges. Realistically I’d shoot for the 900 for that sweet 3-cylinder. But I really do like the 700s as well.

Now if Honda would just bring the Hornet to the States…

I have the Ultimate Bluetooth Controller from them and it’s been plug & play on everything I’ve tried. Fedora with KDE picks it up on 2.4GHz mode just fine (and Steam recognizes it too). My iOS devices recognize it as a Nintendo Switch Pro controller when using Bluetooth mode.
