For you Smash Bros. players, Panda Global is creating a controller

Them partnering with Nintendo for that circuit apparently opened the door for them to make this beauty.

Customized literally everything. You can change the weight of the controller. You can adjust the height of the shoulder buttons. They blew their goal out of the fucking water and I really want them to hit the 1,750,000 marker because then we get a new color button set with every controller. 2 mil would be great but seems unlikely with 11 days left, just because development would start early.

I backed this and I'm getting two of them. It's about fucking time we get legit new controllers made and these look like they're gonna be fire.

Should function as an actual Gamecube controller too, JS. Wait, it does!

can it be customized to not be a gamecube controller

YUP. They got a pro controller shell if for some reason your brain and hands work that way

Have they said anything about availability post-KS?

This looks really cool, but I have doubts when it comes to Kickstarter hardware.

I have such little faith when it comes to a kickstarter controller that I'm not bothering to buy one. I'm also really stubborn, it took me until Mythra's release to finally switch off of default controls for the first time in my life to use tilt stick on her. I'll play gamecube until I die lol

Well they don't plan on anything shipping until Q4 2022 anyway, so while I'm certain there will be availability I'd say if you want one anytime remotely close to that I'd jump on the Kickstarter.

Also you can watch a few videos about the technicals around the thing if you want to be convinced.
