Dayton PUCK Mounts

One of the Pucks was mounted with T-Slot extrusion adapter, the other was taped with adhesive pad on the side of the H-Pattern shifter:

Score System

We will use slight modification on our scoring system to accommodate the needs of the current review. It will be simplified 5 point system, the best item will get maximum score and the rest will be graded according to it.

These would be the scoring categories:

Appeal: This is not that important, we agree, but in most cases these items will be mounted on a visible place in your rig. Better to have cool looks, right?

Performance: This would be direct outcome from all our measurements. It is not the perfect measurement system that we employ but still gives some meaningful quantifiable results.

Immersion: This would be the subjective part of the review. This score will indicate how we actually can feel the vibrations in both shifters.

Reliability: As we have multiple units failing this also is meaningful score to keep in mind.

Versatility: How easy is to integrate the unit in your setup.

Value: Value-for-money, self explanatory.

Time to get deeper in details in next section: Measurements and Tests
