How this gentleman skillfully built the finest stand for his AKAI Force and with no personal injuries whatsoever.



Don't sleep on the power of a good voice-over for adding quality to a video demo! :popcorn:

A tilted stand is really important for the Force. Completely flat horizontally on a table, it feels somehow weird and wrong, like a design mistake. But when it's tilted and you get more on top of it, it gets much better and the feeling of a design mistake goes away. After getting a tilted stand, even using the touch screen feels much less bad.

I'd recommend trying a stand with an adjustable tilt angle, to find out what works best.

That's the only thing I didn't like about as well. Maybe he could put peg wholes or something in the back at different parts to adjust it.

I got like 4 of those. To stop it from sliding around, I put either duck tape on the sides or tape down those cheap little rectangle pencil erasers. I also use this extra strong rubber band to stop adjustable latch from moving after I found the sweet spot. It's ghetto but it works :idea: :lol:
