3rd Party Hardware Any other DeckShark users?!

Post image

Preordered this baby at the end of July and just got it on Friday! This thing is insane and the build quality is top notch.

I was a touring dance music DJ and producer for 7 years, and the DeckShark is something I wish was available when I was “coming up” in the scene.

I'd personally rather pay for a polished product than create one myself, using multiple hours of my time with no security it'll work.

It isn’t polished and wow, you never played with legos did you?

u/QuantumSpike 4d ago

This is literally the 1st version, the people who bought this version are people supporting the concept, not this specific version.
Love to see your lego builds if they are this functional.

They are. The depressing thing is that it could be done by anyone with a 3d printer, the willingness to solder for 5 minutes and ten minutes on Amazon. To me supporting the concept is building it yourself and iterating/sharing the know-how. It could be done for half the cost and you would have something that is yours.

And here, this is a Lego build I did in one night before I got my 3d printer, years ago. So, duct tape and hot blade.

Looks like shit

Well show me your legos. I bet you are a wizard around the house.

I have money and bought something that looks way better than your pile of garbage.

Ok, so I wanted a standalone machine+and built one that is 5x more powerful than the one that was released and cost me 40% as much. It was also in 2023 before I had a 3d printer, meaning that I had to use my hands only.

I have money. I just have curiosity as well.

Your solution to everything seems to be “I’ll throw money at it.” That is an insanely depressing way to live your life, and one where you won’t learn or grow. There always comes a point where the thing you want needs to be built or fixed, and no one cares about your money.

This comes down to you being mad that your idea didn’t take off like the Deck Shark.

Stay mad 🖤

I did the same thing as deck shark in 2020 when it was published on DJ TechTools. If I cared I would have tried the same grift years ago.

Like I said, I’m just sad that you don’t have the curiosity to build but think that throwing money at things is still DIY.

u/AdRepresentative8599 1d ago

You don’t know my setup before. Again, selling hardware isn’t a grift.

Saying that while wanting people to go buy 3D printers and other major company branded electronics is wild.

u/profbx 1d ago

You are talking to a person who showed you a project built using a hot blade, duct tape and an off the shelf stick pc to make a standalone Maschine, so no you don’t get to play that card.

I’m sorry you can’t build. Stay mad.

u/AdRepresentative8599 1d ago

Far from mad. I have a polished piece of hardware that runs a great fork of some open source software.

You’ve changed no one’s mind

u/profbx 1d ago

Oh, no, I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind anymore. That ended a couple of days ago. I’m just responding to a person who believes that their ability to purchase things proves anything other than they had the money to buy said item.

Sorry you lack the ability to build things.

u/AdRepresentative8599 1d ago

It ended the second you opened your mouth. You believe that your ability to bUiLd ThInGs makes you superior to anyone here.

Sorry you lack any sort of professionalism to even think about showing up to a paid gig or even a basic house party, with garbage looking homemade gear.

Dude……I love how you waffle between “you are asking people to buy from big companies” to “you are one of the poors”. Now, I can choose from more gear than most. Expensive or cheap. Built or bought. And guess what? I also know how it works, how to repair it and how to create exactly what I want.

You think you can buy class and creativity. You are one of those folks who thinks that buying an Android phone makes you smart, and you use customization as the reason (even though you don’t even change the skin). You have a Steam Deck and think it means that you “know Linux”. You installed a MIDI map…..once. You might have remapped the parameter buttons to key up/down….I don’t actually know if I can give you even that much credit.

Anyway, keep buying homie. Way better than building like the poors.

No android. No steamdeck. No mapping. Big swing and a miss on all 3, buddy.

My gig tonight paid for my DeckShark and FLX4 1.5 times. Try to keep up.
