Over the past four years, I’ve been working on a project that many of you have been following. What started as a small idea turned into a long and sometimes exhausting journey of trial and error.

First of all, I want to say thank you. Around a hundred of you joined the waitlist, showed interest, and supported the project along the way. That meant a lot, especially during the more difficult phases.

Unfortunately, despite multiple revisions and a significant investment of time and money, I kept running into the same kinds of dead ends. Each iteration would solve some problems but introduce new ones, and over time it became harder to justify continuing down that path. About a year ago, I hit a point where I simply didn’t have the energy to push the project forward anymore.

Even more discouraging was the appearance of two alternative solutions:

After working on my design for so long, seeing others step in made it hard to justify continuing down the same path.

However, about a month ago, I decided to take a closer look and actually build one of these alternatives. I went with Xbox-USB-C-PSU by Redherring32, as it seemed to be a more robust solution from a well-known modder.

The design is solid and well thought out. It addresses many of the same challenges I encountered in a clean and practical way.

That changed my perspective.

Instead of continuing to fight an uphill battle with my own design, I’ve decided to pivot. The project I tested is open source, which means I can legally build upon it, manufacture it, and make it available to others, especially since no one is currently producing and selling this solution.

So here’s what I’m going to do:

  • I am officially discontinuing development of my original ATX adapter project.
  • I will begin producing and selling a proven, open-source alternative.
  • My focus will shift from reinventing the wheel to delivering a reliable, ready-to-use product to those who need it.

I know this might not be the update some of you were expecting, especially those who have been following my original design. But I believe this is the most honest and practical decision, both for me and for anyone who simply wants a working solution.

If you’re on the waitlist, I’ll be reaching out soon with more details about availability, pricing, and timelines.

Thanks again for sticking with me through this journey. It didn’t go the way I originally planned, but I believe it’s leading to something even better.
