My Ultimate 2C is being delivered today and I’m very excited.

Apocalypteroid,

I just bough a couple of these myself. They are excellent.

Mine arrived and I am pleased with how quality it feels.

D-pad is better than I expected. No more stick drift. Cost half as much as an Xbox controller. You can’t go wrong.

I mean I completely understand.

So does that mean we’re going to see Coyotes snuggling equipment over the border now?

snuggling

Awww!

inclementimmigrant,

Well it is cramped in that van after all.

I’ve been seeing them at Best Buy now too.

This sucks for Canadians as well. I have a feeling 8bit ships all stock to the USA first then ships it by truck North and South from a distribution center. This means import fees are paid at the port of entry.

Not sure if demand is high enough for 8bit to ship directly to Canada or even have a warehouse in Canada TBH.

I’d think canada is big enough market for that

ipkpjersi,

There are dozens of us!

any1th3r3,

Nope, 8bitdo (via their eshop) ships directly from China to Canada, alongside a number of other countries.
The change is only wrt shipping to US.

Tarquinn2049,

Just bought one in Canada a week ago, it came in through Vancouver, like pretty much everything else does.

NarrativeBear,

Awesome thanks for the confirmation

Hopefully they still can ship direct to Canada.

I literally got my Ultimate 2 two weeks ago after a month delay. Great controller, glad I got in before this crap.

I have a minature gamepad for my daughter’s tiny hands, but my favourite product is actually their mechanical keyboard.

Is this why all their stuff is on sale? They’re clearing stock?

FUCK, I use 8bitdo for Anki bro. It’s a study tool, not just for gaming.

Just ordered a second Ultimate 2c just in case on this news. Was considering the Ultimate 2 for gyro support but 8bitdo’s offering there is confusing and it’s unclear if it would actually work with my Steam Deck (apparently gyro only works in Switch mode?).

Chingzilla,

Correct, you will need to pair as a Switch controller (or usb dongle) for the Steam Deck to be able to see the gyro . I find I use the gyro less since it doesn’t have the capacitive thumpsticks for triggering gyro input.

Time to open a bank account in Canada

Good thing I got mine already!

bazus1,

Silicon Valley bro culture in short.

anachrohack,

Lol, obviously it’s terrible that business are pulling out of the US, and in the next few months we will begin to learn what the 1970s were like, but I’m just glad I already have mine

Know_not_Scotty_does,

Shit, mine aren’t shipping until the Analogue N64 does…

Mannnnn that sucks. 8BitDo has some of the best 3rd party controllers :(
