Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other projects or weird thing in the cart with it. It doesent have to be hobby electronics with soldering and all that but bonus points if it is.
Carabiners for keys and other household collecting of things.
LED strips for a m b i a n c e, or for under cabinet lighting or some nonsense.
Pc atx 24 pin breakout board
Cheap esc for bldc ( but those yellow extra cheap ones have a tendency to burn up on high duty cycle loads )
Cheap bldc too, I use one plus a 3d printed fan + shroud to cool nvidia tesla gpus and another two to vent in/out garage door windows in summer
So many sensors
E ink screens plus esp32 or other mcu / sbc
Small touchscreens plus sbc for diy smart stuff
Cheap aluminum extrusion and fixings ( ryobi scroll saw is a relatively quiet and controlled way to deal with smaller stuff like 2020)
Cheap bms and mppt solar bois
Cheap rgb led stuff, I’m partial to the water proof silicone stuff, easy to pair with an esp32
A lot of tat is similarly priced on Amazon and the likes. Always worth a double check before defaulting to ali
Cheap disposable tools that you need for some project that you only need a couple times a year (if that).
I actually have some cheap tweezers i got from there for soldering and theyve been extremely decent at what they do

Incredible handheld gaming device.
Thanks I was kinda shocked when I saw the link it gave me lol. I have no intention of earning referral money or anything. I wasn’t even logged into Ali express when I copied the link.
Nah, you’re good. It does that no matter what. It was doing it to me when I was making my post up there.
Firefox just released a new feature where you can copy a link without tracking stuff in the URL
Was just about to say, Aliexpress is weirdly known for having all sorts of retro or knockoff consoles. Many of them are really cool, too.
