I've just sent you an email Kite, because I'd like the extended button version.

BR,
Benedikt

Missed out on the gems but got the hd screen to finish my boxy build. Hey kite here's a weird one for ya. The brown clip that holds the lcd ribbon in the socket, do you sell those? Is there any way i could find/buy one? I just made an order with you so if there's anyway we can include it that would be incredible. If not perhaps some guidance on how I can find another one? Thanks bro.

Hi, this is more of a support email thing but you can try - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32862842753.html (FFC/FPC Flat Cable Receptacle Connector 0.5MM 54P Drawer Top)

With pliers/snips if you gently break the white plastic so that you can free the black bar from it, you can then use that to replace a missing/broken one on the Circuit Sword

Hi, I might be asking this in the wrong place, but didn't see a support page related to it. Has anyone tried making a Circuit Gem with a Pi Zero 2 W? I'm curious about the power consumption/ battery life, and if it's worth it for emulation considering it doesn't have any more ram than a standard Zero/ Zero W.

Nice! Ordered the Circuit Sword Lite.

Any word on whether we can somehow make it work with the Zero2? :D

Thank you so much for the release. I bought everything but the shell. I wanted to do a boxy Pixel version but after reaching out to Boxy he replied with this:

"It's an extremely slow selling product. I even lowered the price to near the cost to manufacture, so it's unlikely I'll make it unfortunately."

After a bit of conversation, he sent the following response:

"Update: I had not planned on making more as they were a slow moving, expensive product. The last price I listed was actually below the cost to make the parts. Since I've had several people email, what I will do is see if anyone wants to do a group by. I need to make an order of at least 50, but if someone can get 40 people together - I will make an order for the housings. Note, I also updated the price to the original price.

I am currently a mod on both MachoNacho's Discord and The Metal Game Boy FB group and am working on coordinating on how we can get a group buy going:

If anyone wants to help get this moving, can you please reach out the Boxy Pixel on FB:

Additionally, if this doesn't pan out, anyone know where I may buy a shell that can fit the components including the 4 button back plate?

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that missed out on those shells. I reached out to him before and got the same response, but didn’t mention anything like a group buy. I don’t do FB anymore, but I’m down to get a shell if you’re able to get enough people 😁
