이런 패드는 없었다.. 어둠에서 깨어난 괴물

Product Reviewed

• Machenike F1 controller (Black edition) (Includes comparisons to the previous White version.)

Key Features Mentioned

• Polling rate: Marketed up to 8,000Hz, but practical testing reported around 4,000Hz. Latency improves slightly at higher rates.
• Thumbsticks: Uses K-Silver JS13 Pro Plus / JS13 Pro Plus–class sticks in the Black version (noted as a meaningful upgrade vs White).
• Switches & response:
  • Optical switch for faster response.
  • Hot-swappable micro switches to change click/feel.
• Digital trigger with adjustable resistance:
  • 3 stages/lock positions
  • Black version reportedly has higher measured trigger force feel than White.
• Battery: 1500mAh
• Gyro + vibration:
  • Gyro described as usable but not special for gyro-first players.
  • Vibration is the major selling point.
• Connectivity modes: Wired, Nintendo Switch mode, and dongle mode.
  • PS4 mode won’t work
  • Switch can be woken up.
• PC software (Windows app/driver):
  • Supports button mapping, joystick-as-mouse, deadzone/curve adjustments, and advanced settings.
  • The brand reportedly previously lacked PC software, but now includes one.
  • Issue: the Black model may not be recognized by the PC software (likely needs an update).

Vibration System (Major Focus)

• 3 vibration modes:
  • HD
  • Rotary
  • Mix (dual-motor) — mixes rotary + HD/linear
• HD vibration: described as very close to phone HD vibration—high density with strong “tingle”/thrill.
• Mix mode: described as richer and more “3D-like,” matching gameplay timing well (example given: Spider-Man swing timing).

Voice Coil / Built-in Speaker

• Includes a speaker for sound effects in supported games.
• Accuracy is not precise; if voice coil accuracy matters, the review suggests considering other controllers (e.g., Mobapad).

Design / Build & User Experience Notes

• Premium Black feel vs White:
  • TPU coating gives a more 3D, shiny, sparkly and luxury look than White.
  • Black avoids White’s reported discoloration/staining over time.
• Thumbstick tension ring change:
  • White featured an adjustable stick tension ring.
  • Black uses a ring-like design that does not rotate (tension adjustment removed).
• Durability improvement vs White:
  • White users reportedly saw stick looseness and shell popping when pulling.
  • Black is described as more stable with less catching/sticking during hard turns.

Performance Results & Measurable Points

Latency (Wired)

• Tested as fast for competitive play:
  • At 4,000Hz:
    • Stick latency: ~2.19 ms
    • Button latency: ~1.9 ms
• White version reportedly had around ~1 ms latency, so Black is slightly slower, but the reviewer argues 1–2 ms is practically negligible for most players.
• Recommendation: if your PC supports it, 4,000Hz is a best practical setting vs 8,000Hz (despite marketing claims).

Stick Accuracy / Stability

• Drift: none noted after calibration.
• Stick circle error: reported 0.1%
• Bitrate: stick tested around ~11 bits even though set to 12 bits
• Linearity: described as good; aiming feels smooth and consistent.
• Main downside: resolution
  • Resolution reported about ~1000
  • Step resolution around ~0.0009
  • Reviewer is disappointed because the White version had similarly limited resolution, meaning the upgrade didn’t address this.

Pros (As Stated)

• Exceptional vibration, especially HD and Mix mode
  • Reviewer calls it “top-of-the-line,” even better than other pads they’ve used.
  • Strong claim: HD vibration works on PC (rare/typically difficult).
• Fast latency suitable for competitive FPS/low-delay play
• Hot-swappable micro switches + optical switch for customizable feel
• Improved durability vs the White version
• Premium TPU grip feel and comfort, especially for larger hands

Cons / Drawbacks (As Stated)

• Resolution remains low (~1000) and does not improve vs White
• PC app recognition issue: Black model reportedly not recognized by the software (likely needs an update)
• Thumbstick tension adjustment removed (non-rotating ring)
• Ergonomics: large controller; better for slightly larger hands, but frequent thumb movement can feel effortful
• Gyro not a standout (aim accuracy is fine, but not tailored for gyro-focused play)
• Voice coil audio accuracy not precise enough for people who need it
• Upgrade value ambiguity: reviewer unsure upgrade from White to Black is worth it for everyone
• Price: Black + White together mentioned around $300 total, described as “not for everyone”

Comparisons Made

• Black vs White (main comparison):
  • Black adds JS13 Pro Plus–class stick upgrade + better durability
  • Black removes stick tension adjustment
  • Black shares the resolution disappointment
  • Black latency slightly worse (~2 ms vs ~1 ms), but still considered fast enough
• Machenike vs DualSense (PlayStation haptics):
  • Both praised, but reviewer feels Machenike’s HD vibration has a unique “flavor.”
  • DualSense may still have broader game support for Sony haptics.
• Machenike vs other PC-haptics approaches (e.g., “haptics built in” / Apex 6):
  • Reviewer suggests others struggle with consistent PC HD rumble compatibility.
  • Claims Machenike successfully delivers HD vibration on PC without typical roadblocks.
• Voice coil vs other controllers:
  • Suggests Mobapad/TTMAX alternatives depending on what accuracy matters most.

Unique Points List

1. Early video recording issue (file corruption) mentioned (not product-related).
2. Black edition sets higher expectations, but spec changes are limited beyond the stick upgrade.
3. Stick upgrade: J13 Pro Plus class stick included in Black (vs White not having it).
4. Optical switch + hot-swappable micro switches for customization.
5. Optical response claimed to be faster than other controllers.
6. Battery: 1500mAh
7. Includes gyro + vibration; Switch wake support mentioned.
8. PS4 mode not supported.
9. Latency testing presented; framed as competitive vs typical pads.

11. Black avoids White’s discoloration/staining concern.
12. Thumbstick tension ring is non-rotating on Black.
13. Durability improvement: reduced looseness/popping vs White.
14. Micro switch customization noted (default black Omron; other switches like “pink” preferred for better feel).
15. TPU grip helps in sweaty conditions; good for larger hands.
16. Large controller size can increase effort during rapid repeated thumb movements.
17. Digital trigger with adjustable resistance (3 stages).
18. Trigger resistance measurements: White ~130–132 vs Black ~150–165.
19. Macro buttons: 2 back + 2 shoulder buttons (4 total).
20. Three connection modes: wired, Switch, dongle (charging pins exist; dock not released).
21. Shoulder attachment described as “hat/cap cover” style for reach/reload/close-aim actions.

29. Vibration modes: standard HD (linear), rotary, and Mix (dual).
30. Mix described as richer/“3D-like” with better timing match.
31. HD described as “phone call” style feel.
32. Gyro mention: some stutter/hesitation vs other reviewed controllers; aim accuracy still good.
33. Stick performance: good drift behavior, low circle error, good linearity.
34. Resolution measured low (~1000), similar to White; improvement not delivered.
35. Wired latency at 4kHz: stick ~2.19 ms, buttons ~1.9 ms.
36. White latency reportedly ~1 ms; difference considered negligible.
37. Recommendation: prefer 4kHz where possible.
38. Game preference: story-based games favor Mix; HD alone can hurt immersion/compatibility.
39. HD-only felt like more “Switch-style” vibration in Steam games (lower game integration).
40. Claim: Machenike succeeds delivering PC HD vibration (key selling point).
41. Voice coil/speaker works in some Switch-supported games, but audio accuracy isn’t precise.
42. If voice coil matters: reviewer prefers alternatives (Mobapad; TTMAX noted as lacking accurate voice coil but strong vibration).
43. Overall recommendation depends on whether you already own multiple pads; upgrade from White is ambiguous.

Speaker Breakdown

• Single main reviewer voice throughout; no clearly distinct multiple speakers.

End Verdict

Buy Recommendation

• Strongly recommended if you want top-tier vibration—especially HD vibration on PC—and competitive-fast latency.

Consider Carefully If

• You’re upgrading specifically from the White version, because the reviewer found:
  • Resolution didn’t improve
  • Tension adjustment was removed
  • Upgrade value may be potentially ambiguous
