Damn these Noctua NF-A4x10 5v are beautiful in Black with the Brown bumpers. Been a while since we could stock this color way. I need to get the tariff invoice from UPS before I list them I have an idea what that looks like but until I get the final pricing I can't list these for sale.

I love the idea of the Switch 2's joy-cons having a mouse mode but it's really uncomfortable. I'm working on a solution for that. Gotta get ready for Metroid Prime 4 😅
