The white Carbon I ordered arrived yesterday. VERY pleased with the purchase.
I still like my OG Topside Duals, but they look cheap/inexpensive in comparison. The Carbon finish is really nice, they did a great job on it. Has a textured feel/appearance to it and feels good in the hand. I expect the finish will be durable and wear well. The matching fire button is a very nice touch.
The chip is obviously a YiHi if you are familiar with YiHi chipsets, but it has differences. I'm guessing these differences were programmed for the Topside specifically. The button click/feel is more 'basic' from a tactile perspective than my SL Class, etc. It feels more high end on the SL Class. Not sure how to explain it, but the button feel is different than other YiHi
devices I'm familiar with.
Still wish it would have had a
dna 250c in it, but overall, I still like it more than the Drone.
The Drone needed aftermarket o-rings to help with leaking, the squonk door flexes when you press the bottle, it scratches easily, and it's a PITA to fill compared to the Topside.
They are both very nice mods, but if I had this in hand a few months back, I probably would have passed on the Drone and gotten a second one of the Carbon.
