We need to get caught up on existing orders and also improve some of the designs on parts.
Therefore, we aren’t taking any new orders for Single Handed Controllers at this time.
I’ll update the site when this changes. I also want to create a PS4 version and have it ready by the holiday season.
Thanks for your interest and continued patience!
