In the early stage of FAUCETWO+ design, we evaluated all the ways to make the shell, metal plate + spray paint; 6063 aluminum alloy CNC processing, oxidation surface treatment; MDF or PVC sheet splicing; injection molding. In terms of ensuring the appearance, smoothness and stability, injection molding has the best effect.
Regarding strength, plastic shell has no problem. The shell is made of ABS with a thickness of 4mm. A lot of reinforced designs are added inside to ensure sufficient strength. Don't worry about playing vigorously in the game, FAUCETWO+ is strong enough.
Don't worry, the amplitude of slight jitter is very small, and the probability of occurrence is very low. The SoundVoltex game itself has de-jitter processing, which will not affect the stability of use in the game.
Through our long-term analysis, we believe that there is no difference in performance between the two. However, the use of the encoder + photo interrupter can increase the strength of the knob structure.
The official controller corresponding to eAcloud uses a resolution of 200; therefore, in order to adapt the game 1:1, we also use the same resolution. The 200 resolution is sufficient for the performance of any Sound Voltex game.
No matter whether the knob turns fast or slowly, make sure that the knob can output 200 changes in one circle. If the rotation speed exceeds 1ms, our algorithm also has tracking ability to ensure that one does not leak.
This function is designed for beginners or intermediate players. Beginners and intermediate players are not proficient in their techniques. At the moment of touching the knob, the direction of the touch may be inconsistent with the actual direction of rotation, which may cause false touches and cause disconnection. Therefore, for unskilled players, by increasing the dead zone setting, the impact of false touches can be reduced.
There are several possible reasons for button stuck. For example, lamp holder is not completely stuck in (SANWA button), the spring is not installed properly, the LED button light is not in the center, and the stains in the hands enter the gap of the button after long-time use. These problems can be solved by simple maintenance skills.
After years of experience, for the microswitch of rhythm games, we believe that the Omron is the best and Honeywell is the second best. The advantage of honeywell is that the price is cheaper than Omron, but the disadvantage is that it is not as durable as Omron. Other brands can not pass our quality requirements. If the budget is sufficient, we recommend using Omron microswitches.
In the faucetwo shell, we reserve a lot of grid space. You can increase the weight of the controller by filling in denser materials. The most convenient way is to fill in plasticine. The density of the plasticine is about 1.1. If it is fully filled, the weight can be increased by about 1.25 kg.
Considering the bottom cover opening, it does not belong to a very high frequency; Considering the integrity of the bottom cover, we did not make handles for the bottom cover separately. Directly hold the foot pad by hand and pull it up to open the bottom cover.
If only one USB interface is used, the power consumption of the RGB LED is relatively large, and the power supply may be insufficient at the highest power consumption. Therefore, the power supply part adopts a separate design. USB-B is used to transmit data and 7 button lights, and USB-C is used to power the RGB LED separately. If you just want to play games, you don't need to connect to the USB-C interface.
FAUCETWO+ uses a new version of PCB design. If only plugged into a USB type-b port, it will work fine. But the light brightness will be lower. The product will not work if only plugged into a USB type-c port. USB type-c is only used to power RGB lights. If plugged into 2 ports at the same time. The light brightness will be higher.
Yes, the USB type-c port of FUACETWO+ supports PD power adapter.
After a lot of tests, we think that the sensitivity setting is about 1.41, which is the closest to the perfect effect.
The USC author recommends using around 4.0, please adjust according to your own feelings. We are still keep doing research. If we get an accurate range, we will update it on twitter and FAQ.
We consulted the authors of K-shoot mania and USC. They think there is no difference between these two, but they recommend using the joystick type.
