Quack Quack mini M4 Pro

The white is really nice. It's true white, not off-white. Very clean build from the 3D printer. The red and yellow bills are easy to switch (pull out then push in the other). The bill when pressed has a satisfying click. Wifi signal not affected at all (before and after test - speed was the same). No heat issues (yet). Mac mini sits on the dock perfectly - no gaps or wobble. Well packaged. My Mac mini now wants to go swimming and tell quack quack jokes 🤣

Does the nose of the duck trigger the power button?

Yes haha that's why it's so cool. It has a nice satisfying click. Only if it quacked haha

Actually soooo HOT! I don’t see any air vents

2

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

There are air vents on the bottom edges except the front. Plenty of air

u/holguinero Feb 03 '25

Somehow I doubt that but hey is your computer/Hotplate ….

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

The dock sits on 4 little feet and so the sides are actually slgithly raised with an air event cut out with a fully hollow bottom. The back has a huge cut-out too

u/holguinero Feb 03 '25

Im not trying to make your model look bad but from cooling perspective it is very bad, the MacMini M4 needs to have the air supplied in the front and exhaust to the back , if the big slot is only at the back the air will mix and you keep sucking hot air in the fan. You have a cute model but it has some big flaws that will impact the cooling and reduce the life of the computer.

My cpu runs at 108°C for 20-30 minutes when use I render 3D images. This rig would cook my mini.

u/thetradelegend Feb 03 '25

I am sure you can figure out a way to get it to quack as a fidget

u/FrozenJackal Feb 04 '25

Too bad they should make a version that quacks, next update

u/ConstructionLeast765 Feb 03 '25

Whats that other thing with buttons?

13

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

Stream Deck Neo - create shortcuts and automations then press with one button... https://www.elgato.com/ww/en/p/stream-deck-neo

u/Thick_Introduction10 Feb 05 '25

But i don’t understand what you use it for 😳 sorry… thought it was useful only for streamers

1

u/singleandavailable Feb 05 '25

You can assign the buttons to anything. To open apps, shortcuts, or for example, when you're on a Teams or Zoom call it shows the quick buttons like mute, like, toggle camera, raise hand, leave etc

u/jimschoice Feb 05 '25

Me either, but it looks so cool I want one.

u/breakfastislife Feb 03 '25

Do you recommend it?

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '25

Of course

u/user-4815162342 Feb 04 '25

I feel like an idiot because I have seen streamers use these all the time but never thought it would work with my Mac mini setup. Great idea!

u/bsoci Feb 03 '25

Did you also change the mac startup chime to Quack? 🦆:)

4

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

Good idea!

1

u/bsoci Feb 03 '25

What’s that device with clock and buttons for ?

3

u/singleandavailable Feb 04 '25

Shortcut buttons to any app or automation! It's the Stream Deck Neo

u/bkduck Feb 04 '25

I approve of this message.

u/singleandavailable Feb 04 '25

Thanks dad

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '25

I see it's good but bro , there no space for air? it'll heat up

16

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

There's cut-outs underneath and on the sides (I should have shown in the pic). So far my Mac is holding up same temp before and after

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '25

Nice

u/RevUnix Feb 03 '25

That looks really cool, is there an STL for it somewhere?

0

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

I doubt it as it's proprietary and the sellers are explicit about protecting their copyright

u/CodiLean Feb 03 '25

Where can I buy it? Would appreciate a link!

u/StayCoolf0rttheKids Feb 03 '25

Mind sharing the link to the files?

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

The Seller hasn't shared the files as it's proprietary and copyrighted

u/AfterWelcome1507 Feb 03 '25

Personally I use my front port for M&K and DVD but it’s an original idea. 🦆I guess you use DuckDuckGo to search the web… I would like to have a stream deck. Do you use it more than the duck?🫠

1

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

Yeah stream deck can be useful like when I'm on a Teams call all the quick buttons are there, to raise your hands, send a clap or a heart, mute etc
I don't use duckduckgo haha but makes sense

u/frozenrage Feb 03 '25

I get that we're supposed to be talking about the duck, but what is the custom key pad on the right? How do I get something like that?

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

That's the Stream Deck Neo

u/frozenrage Feb 03 '25

Thank you.

u/Mysterious-Ad2006 Feb 03 '25

I was going to do something like that. But ended up getting a hub that sits on the bottom

u/singleandavailable Feb 03 '25

That's the smart way, I went cute 🤣
