mark6139 ...i have visions of you literally suspending it from the charging cord or something to achieve that! Jesting aside, that's some seriously bad luck, maybe secure the cable against the Handy with a rubber band, so there's no strain on the port, and the cable is exiting from your arrangement in a less vulnerable direction...

    ...i seem to remember that the answer is no, but that they're considering adding a twist for the second iteration...

      @doublevr Hi, super excited about this 😁 ...
      Is it going to be USB C charging?
      Can you confirm that the BT with the Q3 will work well? (Keon & Handy BT on the Q3 sucks bigtime)
      Thx

        doublevr OK great news about usb-c. Please make the BT work well with the Quest 3... so many variables with wifi...

          I really hope this product can be used without the need for a cell phone or cell phone app, and that it can connect directly to computer software via USB, not Bluetooth. Do you plan on creating your own software for PC in the future? I don't have a cell phone, but I'm very interested in the product. I think it would be a great idea to consider, as I believe many people would prefer it. Most people want to use their computers rather than relying on a cell phone app. The cell phone thing will be a deal breaker for me. Thank you! 🙏💕

            Rickquiem cell phone is required for product activation and first firmware update. It won't work without it.
            After that should be working fine without internet or a cell phone. The app will offer additional features like Lovense app.

              Melody's control will be via BLE, which will work in parallel with WiFi and you can simply disable BLE in the device settings if you don't need it.This will all be described in the API and SDK (BLE SDK is a smaller version of WiFi SDK. WiFi SDK has more methods), a little patience and we'll release a status update soon, but I'll say it straight - things are going very cool! 🚀

              Rickquiem Depends on the BT dongle and its capabilities, but the API allows you to use and customize Melody over a BT connection

                  ToyboyPM i dont have wifi i use a hardline. will it come with a dongle? am i out of luck? :[

                    i dont use a cell phone or wifi, Is it going to be a solution for people like me?

                      Rickquiem with WiFi you could use the full power of Melody, if you haven’t WiFi it’s ok, but you still need a cellphone to activate Melody🙏

                        @ToyboyPM you seem to be the one to talk to about this 😊... concerning the BT connection on your Melody device, I have some feedback as I have tested the Keon & Handy's BT alot.

                        The Handy - WiFi works well, when its not "Disconnecting", which seems to happen at least once every time I try to use it. This is why I prefer BT, but the experience of the scripts seems to be much less accurate (missing strokes every few seconds) via BT on the Handy.

                        The Keon - BT direct connection on Q3 via DeoVR app works ok, but again the experience of the scripts seems to be much less accurate (missing strokes every few seconds).
                        The best BT Keon experience by far is to connect via the Haptics Connect App via phone app. This gives perfectly synced scripts with no missing strokes when paired with the Q3.
                        Also, as a side issue, the Keon connects to local scripts via BT with Heresphere with perfect playback... so not sure if the Heresphere dev is using different BT connection or what.

                        Back to the new Melody, wifi is great... when it works. But there are just too many variables to ever get a foolproof device via wifi.
                        Please try to make the direct BT connection on the Q3 an awesome experience.
                        Thx

                          I will say if the connection misses strokes then I won't use it. It will basically be the same thing as a Handy but worse. It will flop on it's face.
                          This better work well or nobody is going to buy it after the first people say it misses strokes.
                          I hope its figured out before selling it. I want to like it.

                          renstimpy11 thx. We have put extra effort in connectivity. You should enjoy super strong wifi confection with no unnecessary interruptions

                              renstimpy11 Thank you 😊 From my personal experience, everything is smoother and more accurate with WiFi, but with BT it's easier and faster to connect. In addition to what @doublevr said, we are also putting extra effort into the connection logic so that there is logic behind the quality of the connection, where you just need to press a button and rock on! 🔥
                              But I took note of what you're talking about, it's very valuable to us! If you have more ideas or thoughts, feel free to post in the thread or to me in direct message.

                                doublevr Just tried the Handy with wifi connection and had a hour+ session with no disconnects! So progress has been made 😁.
                                Please make sure the Melody has great BT with the Q3 as well as wifi 👍
                                Keep up the good work
