After not too long ago admitting that it had a “spectacularly horrible response” to Pleasure-Con grip detachment complaints with its Killswitch Nintendo Change 2 case, Dbrand has some good news: it says its redesigned Pleasure-Con grips repair the difficulty and the corporate will have the ability to mass produce them.
Dbrand had already promised it might be changing the grips for everybody, and now we all know that the alternative would be the redesign as an alternative of a refined model of what’s already obtainable. Right here’s a video from Dbrand exhibiting the Pleasure-Con not detaching whereas being held from the Pleasure-Con with the up to date grips.
Along with the modification to the Pleasure-Con grips — which Dbrand is looking Pleasure-Lock — the corporate says it will likely be sending out silicone friction pads to put on the Killswitch adapter for Nintendo’s dock to handle “the difficulty of one-handed undocking on our Dock Adapter” and hold the adapter “snugly seated” on the dock.
By “early subsequent week,” Dbrand says it’s going to “share a manufacturing schedule that outlines if you’ll have the ability to declare your free Pleasure-Lock replacements, and when you possibly can count on them to ship.” New manufacturing and any unshipped orders will embrace the Pleasure-Lock Grips and have the silicone friction pads preinstalled on the Dock Adapter.
In June, some customers of the unique Killswitch Change 2 case discovered that in the event that they held the console primarily by a Pleasure-Con whereas the case and grips have been on, the controller would pop off and the console would drop down. Most likely not what you need to have occur to your brand-new Nintendo console.
Dbrand revealed a lengthy post in regards to the situation the place it argued that “no person routinely holds their Change 2 like this” and that Pleasure-Con detachment solely occurs should you maintain the console in a really particular approach. However many customers in contrast that response to when Steve Jobs advised folks working into iPhone 4 reception points to “just avoid holding it that way.”
The corporate quickly after revealed a mea culpa post the place it stated that “try to be allowed to carry it nonetheless the fuck you need, with out detachment occurring” and outlined the way it was engaged on two potential fixes: a barely tweaked model of the unique grip and the one with an even bigger redesign.
