   Every year or so, I foolishly think "I need a video game controller" and go buy one and it only lasts a few months before I decide one of us has to die, and I have the screwdriver so I win

     Never buy an electrical without a power switch, and that goes double if it has a battery, and triple if it has LEDs

     This thing should come with a thick black fabric bag to keep it in because IT IS ALWAYS FLASHING SOME LIGHTS

     I'm quite impressed with the battery life, at least

     How do you design a device with 4 colored lighting modes and not just out in a simple 5th: TURN OFF THE LIGHTS

     I'm not joking when I say this is an accessiblity issue: I have ADHD. This is a device that won't stop flashing lights.

     This shit shouldn't be allowed

     Look I make bad computer peripherals ON PURPOSE and even I, creator of both Tooth and Hair keyboards (and I have fake blood waiting for the next one), consider it a design too horrible to be released on an unsuspecting public

     I want mechanical keyboard fans to pay for what they've done and I wouldn't even imagine building a device this detrimental to attention spans

     I unscrew the first screw in the handle and immediately bright blue light spills free from it. This thing doesn't have lights, this thing is full of light and it escapes through any seams or holes in the containment vessel.

     My camera is having trouble photographing the true glory of this device, it's all BE NOT AFRAID and I'm looking like Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments after he meets God. My skin is leathery and sunburned, my beard white, my eyes blinded by the things Man was not meant to see

     I have reached the second most basic off switch: it no longer has a power source.

     Also see this little switch here? Turns out it's an unmentioned-by-the-manual reset switch. That'll get it to stop blinking AT LEAST UNTIL YOU PRESS A BUTTON.

     Here's the main chip. It's labeled "H001 A785263.1 2123#05" but I can find nothing for that.

     BOOOO
     this is an official Nintendo-licensed product and they're using ICs that fell off a truck? Shame.

     I removed 6 of the 8 LEDs before I accidentally killed it

     I think I just thwacked off a cap. I can probably fix it once I can solder again

     @foone wait... can "normal" people ignore that or block it out? I assumed blinking shit would distract everyone.

     @jemsu oh, sorry, I see how that's confusing. I don't hate mechanical keyboardists for the RGB lights, it's because of the everything else.

     @foone I am confused because my mechanical keyboards have obvious and easily accessible off states for lighting. Sorry for your uhh LEDs
