Bhoreal Mini Slim says Hello World!
22 | 01 | 2014
It is about time for another post... :p
*NOTE: Throughout last week we sent you an email to confirm your postal address and your T-shirt size. Not all of you have answered this email. Please, check your spam folder, rescue our email and answer it ASAP to verify your details and add them to or database.
Let's start with the Mini Slim. We have everything we need to start making shipments. Mini Slim controller's design is completed (see http://on.fb.me/LSnLYk) and we also have the packaging ready (see slides). We just need to upload the firmware, check that everything works fine and start managing deliveries. We do not want to make any guessing on dates as we do not have with us the T-shirts and stickers that come along with the rewards yet but be sure that it will be soon.
The silicone rubber pads adventure is coming to an end. We have finally received the samples and the result is quite acceptable (see slides). Elasticity is correct. Tactility is also appropriate (it is more porous than the original but this is maybe even better than the original as it offers more friction). However, the opacity is not adequate and we are not happy how they diffuse light (see slides). In any case, it seems that the opacity is an easy-to-fix property of the silicone, so hopefully we can do the final order as soon as we are sure that this problem is been solved (we do not want have to wait for more samples).
To finish, we wanted to let you know that we have complete the prototypes for Slim/Slim Pro controllers, we have a “final” PCB design (see slides) and they are already in pre-production. We are waiting for 10 PCBs of each to assemble them in the Lab and be sure that everything works properly before making a bigger purchase.
As you can see things are going forward. More slowly than we wanted (and sure than you wanted too) but they are going forward and with very good results. We can say we are happy! :)
We hope being able to give you more good news soon.
All the best,
The Bhoreal team.
