Nvidia Shield K1 advice

[Anthony]

Anthony, I have a quick question. What is the material of these Z clips? Are they made of plastic? is there the possibility that they can scratch the Nvidia?

Yes they made from plastic and it is possible but i have a bit of cloth on the edge of the shield the kind you get with specticals to stop that from happening.

Fits just fine with a little trimming to the controller .

Thanks for the idea trevor.

How you make This any tutorial?

That's what I bought too. I know they had trouble with the knurling on the arm but mine seems pretty strong and I'm very happy with it. I love that it makes the screen appear larger which is the point, right

I'm using it a lot, and no problems so far.
It seems not everyone is so happy, perhaps build quality can be different from store to store...

I used the same principle of that design but did my own as I had removed some of the rubber from the controller grips to fit a different tablet but I'm so happy with the result, snug fit but not to tight..

To all Nvidia Shield K1 users: Beware that the internal map function may not be stable. Recently, I had two K1's and they both had map/GPS bugs. The little "N" on the navigation radar icon would rotate around like a second hand. You can tell if yours has issues by opening up the Maps application and pressing the home icon. If the map starts to spin after a few second, ya got bugs!

Did you manage to resolve the issue?

I'll check it

Checked. No issue

For some reason, there is a bit of compass "drift" when using my K1. I have found that an occasional CW/CCW rotation of the controller/tablet seems to reset the orientation. Kinda silly, but it sorta works until a firmware fix comes around.

[Malfius]

It handles very well, doesn't get in the way at all.

No tried my K1 yet as waiting for the Mount to turn up. I did not bother with the 32GB 4G model as I can share Wireless from my Note 4! I also have the Fatshark Dominator V3 and odered one of these Alloy Mounts.

 

[Pedro]

So I tried one of the £15 mounts off eBay and I'm not impressed, it feels heavy, cumbersome and not very secure, like it won't hold very well so I'm having another 3D printed mount made which will stand the Shield away from the controller enough not to interfere with my hands..

I just found out that there is one problem with the setup like yours. Like mine, you will connect HDMI cable to the right side of K1. After you select mirror mode in K1, K1 screen will oriented upside down. Sigh....

Hi Anthony,

I see you have the same K1 setup with HDMI cable at right side of K1. Do you have the same K1screen turn upside down issue as I posted on #139?
