keltoigael Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Bliss-Box Normally I am not a fan of kickstarter projects but this has huge potential. As a fan of using the original controllers for systems this really is the coolest solution I have ever seen. Check it out. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/544088930/1493310774?token=084f4851 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrajag Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Despite having had 2 bad experiences of Kickstarter, and already owning several usb adapters for various controllers, I'm keeping a close eye on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark13 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 This guy is already selling handmade bliss box http://bliss-box.net/Bliss-Box/products-Bliss-Box.html . Considering the pricing for hand-made products KS's prices seems reasonably. And... yes, they will surely be made in some chinese slave-factory. Just like ALL pieces of "japanese" or "american" hardware. And italian pret-a-porter dresses, of course. As far as I know the only problem these converters had was the fact you need to reboot pc to use a different port. If he find a workaround for this problem blissbox is definitively the best converter money can buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I can vouch for this.........built mine instead of buying one of the prebuilts ones....I just purchased the circuit card and wires. The adapters i used were controller extension cables with one end spliced to interface with the blissbox. (Via db connector based off of Crylen's design....might rebuild it to use smaller connector. ) All my controllers were 1st party so never had an issue with controllers not working. It works wonders! Because circuit board has a reset header, I incorporated a push button on the external housing. There is no need to reboot your pc when swapping controllers. The creator, ulao, has been very helpful with any questions I had, including providing schematics and info as I was building the circuit board from scratch for my assembly class (i built one and purchased one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjlewis78 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It could replace my mess of USB adapters. This is about half of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjlewis78 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Still a lot of adapters after reading through the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djvj Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 That's not a good reason not to fund it. If anything, you should feel even more reason to fund it as he needs every person possible. What's the worst that happens, it doesn't reach the goal and you never get charged? And if it does, you just got yourself a great adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjlewis78 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 After seeing the post here yesterday, I am now a backer. Someone should have proof read the article on KickStarter, I noticed a ton of typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
