I actually simply posted in regards to the Spine coming to Android like yesterday. Fascinating timing. They diminished the dimensions total, and the analog sticks look much more just like the Spine’s sticks. From the again it seems to be nearly equivalent to a Spine now. Additionally has a stiffer bridge just like Spine as an alternative of the versatile one of many unique. Microswitches as an alternative of membrane buttons ought to make for clicker and higher feeling face buttons and d-pad.
In my different put up I mentioned the Spine is healthier than the Kishi and I stand by that. It’s far more costly however of notably larger high quality. All these adjustments appear to deliver this yet one more consistent with the Spine. If it retains the longer throw of the analog sticks and is of comparable high quality, then it will exchange my Spine. Sadly no point out of three.5mm jack or pass-through audio, however these aren’t huge losses for me. No timeframe for this one, simply that the Android model is coming earlier than the iPhone model.
Edit: I additionally seen they’re chaging $99 now similar to the Spine. For a similar value, the dearth of options in comparison with Spine positively hurts extra. In all probability gonna wait on a reduction as the unique dropped in value pretty shortly.
