If you had to summarise what makes my products special it, would be those 3 key things:

• Innovation.
  I am not here to meet a demand that others already meet. I am here to build something that is new in a meaningful and useful way.
• Quality.
  I try to build things as affordable as I possibly can, but I do not cheap out on quality. Human labor and components should have the highest available standard.
• Aesthetics.
  Things do actually have to look good. It's a special challenge to build something that does not only function in a specific way, but is also aesthetically pleasing. 

 

Meisterboard M features:

More ergonomic 

After countless iterations I would consider this to be the most ergonomic button layout I have ever created. Every single finger has its own place. Both hands are at a healthy angle and spaced out, without feeling cramped. You will never miss a button while hovering over them, or alternatively just lay your fingers on every single button. Only minimal movement is necessary. Just the index, middle and ring finger have to switch between two rows. If necessary you can use the center button with your index finger.

More compact

It has the perfect travel size at 250x130mm and only 215g of weight. You can use it on your lap, but with a height of only 11mm it is meant for desk play. The foam layer on the bottom helps makes sure it does not slip. Total height is 15mm including buttons, which makes it one of the slimmest controllers available.

More silent

Most leverless controllers use either cheap no-name switches or standard Kailh choc v1 or v2 switches. All of them I would consider pretty loud. But I wanted to create a controller that is a lot less noisy and that you can still use in the middle of the night without waking anyone up. That's why I chose Cherry MX low profile silver/speed switches, with the best balance between noise and quality, even if it means I have to hand solder them to the board. Watch this video that I made to compare the sound. I think it speaks for itself. Also available now are Kailh Nocturnal switches, which are probably the most silent switches currently available.

Better quality

The controller is assembled in Germany. The case and switches are also Made in Germany. I am constantly searching for way to make things better with a lot of attention to details. Be it ergonomics or trying to come up with designs that are pleasing to the eye. I always try to use the best quality plastics, buttons and switches and won't cheap out on components. You get what you pay for, which in this case also means you get superb quality control and that if you need support, you can directly talk to the one person, that actually designed and produced the controller.

Better software

This controller runs on the incredible GP2040-CE software. It has an easy to use webinterface to customize input methods or change button layouts. By default it's compatible with PC (XInput), Nintendo Switch, PS3, Xbox One, Keyboard. You can enable support for Playstation 4 (original controller and command line knowledge necessary) and also enable passthrough mode (passthrough port needed), which makes it compatible with Playstation 5 or Xbox One/S/X, if you plug in the appropriate dongle like a Mayflash MagicBoots. (no support for this from my side though)
