Azeron became the Virpil keypad, please

Hello,

I have been looking at your products since 2021 without purchasing. For what ?

Fear of breaking everything. For what ? I'm a 130 kilo giant who breaks everything. The only joysticks that resist me are those from the Virpil brand, entirely made of metal. I have 2 for 1200€ each. Your plastic product cannot suit me.

However, your product is perfect on paper and on all the videos that I have been watching for 3 years now.

Why limit yourself to a single range of materials? Why don't you offer metal printing versions either directly by you or via service providers who manufacture metal. Sell your 3D models if you don't want to deal with metal printing. Quote a price, make an offer.

Best regards.

Not sure why do 3d immediately should break, regardless of you weight.
Your hand sits relaxed on the keypad and it does require flick to activate the button.
You would use the same force on buttons / stick / keypad in general, as other users.

A metal version or even the option to purchase 3D models for custom fabrication would definitely be a game-changer. It would cater to a broader audience and provide a solution for people who need sturdier gaming tools.

As I'm currently looking at spending 10% of what I purchased my cyborg for to replace a single part (tower support), as the shipping costs are 70% of the part cost, and that's if I'm okay with waiting a few weeks.

Being able to buy a metal tower support, or maybe a metal banded (I'm thinking hose clamps style) (or even a rubbery material that will stretch rather than break) is ideal for me. I don't need metal parts entirely, just at the pressure points of the controller that are apparently most frequently broken.
Though, now I'm considering a cyborg II, just because of the improvements (and the better joystick). Even having access to a 3d-print file, so I could print my own tower support using TPU because that stuff is rubbery enough to hold, and durable enough to last (but printing with it can be a nightmare, so not so good as a company solution maybe).

But yeah, I could get behind some metal features for the weak points.

Edit: fixed a typo, meant TPU, not TPE lol
