IFYOO GTP01: 2.4 ghz Wireless Update

My favorite, yet admittedly flawed, PC game controller is getting a 2.4ghz wireless update in Fall 2023. I reached out to IFYOO support1 via email asking about a wireless version and received the encouraging message that…

“…the 2.4G version is currently in testing and is estimated to be available for about three months.”

Three months from the time of my email puts us just about mid-October 2023.

I still love this weird controller and use it everyday. Some things still bug me (like the incomprehensible decision to make the shoulder buttons asymmetrical), but if you’re after a keyboard/mouse replacement that fits in your hands like a controller, this is the one.

Wireless will be an awesome and welcome improvement.

  1. I reached out to DarkWalker support too, but they never responded. As their products are identical, I would assume they’ll be releasing a wireless version too.

Get the old school, original, zoom method back in Adobe Illustrator… you know, the one where you draw a box… none of this scrubby nonsense

Animation of how to disable animated zoom in Adobe Illustrator

I hate hate hate the “scrubby” zoom in Illustrator1. “Scrubby” zoom is the current default method of zooming into your document where you click and drag to the right to zoom in and drag to the left to zoom out.

As an old school Illustrator user, this is totally nuts. I want the original method of drawing a box around the part of the document I want to zoom in on.

Here’s how you get the sane zoom back… it’s not named well. You’re looking for a checkbox called “Animated Zoom.”

On a Mac2, go to: Illustrator > Settings > Performance > GPU Performance > Animated Zoom

Adobe Illustrator: disable Animated Zoom

Disable that shit.

  1. Illustrator 2023 version 27.2
  2. macOS Ventura 13.2.1
