I uploaded this photo of Baby Bud just to make sure the folder access was working properly. It has nothing to do with the workshop!
International shipping options return for single handed controllers
OK so I’m only doing Xbox Core controllers right now (works on Xbox One, Series S and X) PS4 is discontinued and PS5 still hasn’t happened because Sony keeps changing the internals.
But I have added back international shipping options! Yahoo!
Paused them for a while because shipping got really slow during COVID but now non-US buyers can easily order once again. Enjoy!
I’ve also started streaming the controllers builds (when I have orders) every Monday on my Youtube channel, usually around 8-10PM central US time. Enjoy!

See you there!
Taking time off – order delays
I’m taking some time off and getting projects done. Any new controller orders from now until September 11th 2021 will be built in the order they are received the week of September 13th 2021.
I will also be attending the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest during this time, stop by and say hi!
Single handed PS4 controllers now available!
Finally got them priced and listed on the site! They are based on the wired Hori Mini Pad.
