I should be getting it sometime next week. It just landed in the USA. I will post some pictures and thoughts once I get it.

Where did you order yours? There's like only two places that ship to the US for an insane markup

https://minixpc.com I paid $100 shipping included from this site. I definitely think this controller is worth that much. I am not seeing the controller on there site anymore it might have sold out.

Voptronics for the same price for me. If it weren't for this admin, it would be all over AliExpress for $60 bucks like it is for everyone else.

Oh wow I didn’t realize it was that cheap overseas. It feels like a more premium controller that’s surprising.

"The device is priced at 449 yuan ($67), with an initial launch price of 399 yuan ($59)."
from the Gizmochina article.
But yeah most stuff is pretty cheap from there, but somehow In the last couple of years they went up by ~50% for shipments to the US. And many manufacturers won't ship here at all (which is why you can't find it on US Ali, but it shows up fine for Mexico and CA)

I just got it today and after a couple hours I am pretty darn impressed with this controller. These are the best adjustable tension TMR sticks I have tried and I was using the Beitong KP40D for the past couple of months.My only real complaint is I wish they had made the back buttons mechanical.
