I think the color is still being decided and may be heading for a vote...

In that case, my vote is the same shade of white as the premium WASD keyboard. ?

Not true, the colour is decided and is as shown on the homepage. It is already the same shade of white as the WASD Keyboard [emoji4]

Tl;dr We got this.

Can you clarify why you'd need to plug and unplug the gamepads at the front so frequently as to make putting them at the back or elsewhere less desirable?

I support the current case design and I won't mind the ports at the back.

But since you asked, in my house the SNES still gets played pretty often so I'll likely be moving the controllers from the X16 to the SNES and back a couple of times a week.

I guess if it becomes an issue we'll just buy an extra controller or two to keep in the X16 full time. We can pay for them with the money we saved by keeping the X16's price lower hahaha ?

I guess, since we're still talking about it ?... I originally mentioned the controller ports because I thought the ports on the rear of a desktop (that was also placed further back behind a keyboard) would be significantly further away than front-facing ports on a keyboard-less console. Perhaps half a metre or more.

But -- perhaps people sit closer to monitors than TVs, so it's not really an issue.
