I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    A direct clone of the Switch JoyCon that works seamlessly on PC and PS5.

    A version of the ASUS ROG Flow that is about 20% lighter and has about 50% better battery life when not in dGPU mode.

    A version of the MiSTer and/or Analogue Pocket with RetroAchievements support.

    Yeah, I’m a weird gamer.

      I can’t imagine wanting joycons over an xbox controller for my console/controller gaming but I guess someone was bound to love the joycons lol

        Well, your wrists don’t try to murder you if you keep them bent at an angle for too long, I suppose. Human hands are different, and mine really like having two separate controllers instead of holding just one thing.

        But also, the JoyCons are pretty awesome, I find the separate button d-pad very reliable and I don’t have a problem with the size at all, so even if they weren’t healthier for me I’d love to have a set that works natively on PC.

            I have multiple HMDs and controllers. The original Vive controllers are maybe the least ergonomic thing I own, and the current standard does not feature a full array of face buttons.

            Plus, obviously, they don’t work on flatscreen games. So yeah, no, the JoyCon is still the best controller out there right now, VR knuckles included.

        Wait, how does that work? 8bitDo’s dongles are very confusing in terms of which one goes with what, but none of the ones I have, either standalone or bundled with a controller, seem to have a mode on PC to pair two joycon to a single controller.

          Apparently you can’t with the 8bitdo adapter (sorry made last post while half asleep) meant to link the mayflash NS2 which actually can pair both joycons

          will link that here and change previous link in case someone comes across it later

            Hm. I have the NS1 and that did an OK job using my fight sticks on Switch, but I don’t think it did dual JoyCon on PC. The store page doesn’t mention that explicitly either.

            I may give it a look, but if you have video evidence, a review, a tutorial or something I’d appreciate that.

              Looks like this shows it working with both joycons on a miniature laptop on the ns1 https://youtube.com/watch?v=aJU606gw-NM&pp=ygUVbWFnaWMgbnMgMiBqb3ljb25zIHBj

              From the comments under the video these look to be the instructions to pairing both joycons to it

              HERE IS WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO:

              1: Go to the Green mode.

              2:Press the button once or twice untill the green led on the mayflash blinks really fast.

              3:Hold the power button and the “hidden bumper thingy button” that is FURTHEST away from the controller until the controller either stops blinking or resets the lights. Do this for the one of the two controllers.

              4:Repeat step 2 and 3 for the other controller (as in press the mayflash button until it blinks really fast), you will notice that the paired controller has shutdown and you can now do 3 to pair the other controller.

              5:Press the mayflash button 2 times again so that it goes into fast blinking ( now all controllers have shutdown ).

              6:While blinking press the power button on the LEFT joycon. Wait for it to pair with a solid green LED.

              7:The mayflash must be now solid green and the left joycon too with the right NOT connected. GOOD … just press the mayflash button again so that it goes into SLOW BLINK and when it does hit any button on the RIGHT joycon AND IT WILL PAIR AT THE SAME TIME AS THE LEFT. CONGRATS
