thinking about the SF30 pro again
and wanting one

but i shouldn't...

@Nine i already have a dualshock 4 that has bluetooth, and an xbox one s controller that has bluetooth so like, yeah ;;

altho i could use the SF30 pro on switch and pc, for retro games,

@MochiWaifu I got a Dualshock 4 as well? Though I use it cabeled to my pc because last time I tried it with bluetooth the input lag was like, over a second. x_x;

Either way, I still got a SF30pro mostly because I wanted a good pad to use with my rpi3b, and hodamn it works. It is ALSO great for using with my Surface Pro 4 ^^

@Nine On PC i just use my xbox one (non s) controller cabled, and my DS4 cabled for initial d because i don't have bluetooth)

i don't have my rpi3 hooked up atm but also couldn't get my dualshock to work there, so yeah i guess for that the sf30 pro would be better ;;

i should get a bluetooth adapter for my pc at some point tho hmm

@MochiWaifu yeah a cabled joypad (all primary peripherals in fact) is the best choice for an rpi, because to get it to use a bluetooth device on boot you gotta run some kinda script on startup, because by default it doesn't actually load hte bluetooth driver, apparently :<

@Nine huh,, weird ;;
but if i have hooked it up, it's always on anyway considering it costs like... 5bucks a year to run or something,

@MochiWaifu i only turned mine off because before I got this 3b+, I had no fan and itw as overheating all the time. ;w; now I can just... leave it on. it's great :D

but I had no idea it was THAT low energy. that's rad.

@Nine oh aww ;;
i only ever had the 3b (non plus? i think) but i put a heatsink on when i got it and i never had heat problems uwu

i'm not sure it's that low on the 3b actually but it's roughly that, can't be more than 10 at least :3

@MochiWaifu Yeah I had heatsinks too on my 3b, I think it's just because I have an attic room and fuuuuck it traps heat like a bastard. Honestly I probably could have just gotten a new case and fan, but I figured "ehhh, I might as well upgrade from this teensy li'l case, and get a 3B+ too", so I did considering it was just £30.

@Nine a good choice probably :3 a fan really helps a lot according to yt videos i saw so :3

@MochiWaifu I super love the new case I got tho, dinky li'l fan with it but it makes a heck of a difference.
