Interesting that the fake kickstarter took so long to get taken down. Hopefully its popularity, misplaced as it was, will encourage you to restart it properly.
Creator matthewjcoppola on April 19, 2012
really hope you make these
@Al Calavicci That looks like every other mass produced gamepad peripheral on the market now, complete with horrible build quality and good luck getting support from GameStop, Really!?
Creator John Spinks on April 19, 2012
I find it interesting that there were 3600+ likes on facebook, yet only 435 backers.
I hope that you guys keep trying!
Creator keynell on April 19, 2012
i am surprised this didn't get funded:(
i hope you guys will try again
Creator Eric Preston on April 19, 2012
4 hours and this isn't even close to being funded. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS?!?
Creator Joshua Williams on April 18, 2012
I hope you guys get the support you need! I've posted this on Facebook! Great job and great design! I just wish I had to to give you right now, because I'd love to have one of these.

NO. That Bluetooth Controller is stupid. And Ugly. And Stupid. This just needs more exposure. I hope they resubmit this as I think a nice eye-catching design such as this is exactly the kind of thing people go nuts for these days. Maybe add a few color options. Like hot pink. Anyway, good luck guys. Don't be discouraged if this fails, its a nice product that just need a little more exposure.
Creator Lukasz on April 16, 2012
I don't get it, there's no other good/nice BT gamepads out; why can't this succeed.
Creator Al Calavicci on April 14, 2012
Why has not this project received any news? Are there competing products about to be released that people like Engadget know about (Is Apple / Sony) making such a device?
Could it be this bluetooth remote which is sold by gamestop for 39.99$

Creator Harold on April 13, 2012
Great product! hope a lot of other people will back this! :-) did you guys also think about implementing The new Bluetooth standard? would be awesome for battery life. :-)

I really hope this project gets backed.

Pledged! Hope ya make it!
Creator James on April 9, 2012
Most of the pledge goal is probably going towards Injection Molding. for my own projects I've looked into what I thought would be a simple plastic case and found the following: A quote for plastic injection molding shows each mold piece at thousands to tens of thousands (the controller probably needs 2+), then the per part cost is based on volume. The per unit cost can be really low, probably a buck or two for the size and shape of a game controller, but the only way to reduce the cost of the mold is to spread it out over 1000's of units.
Creator Greg Dawson on April 9, 2012
How did you set your pledge goal? Perhaps it was set too high?
Creator Rob Thompson on April 9, 2012
I'm curious what will differentiate this controller from something like the icontrolpad?
Creator Evolution Controllers on April 8, 2012
@MBybee thanks for the pledge and please help spread the word!
Creator MBybee on April 8, 2012
Wow, I can't believe I just now saw this - you guys need WAY more visibility!
This controller look amazing!
Creator Evolution Controllers on April 8, 2012
@Bernie I would be happy to setup a $50,000 dollar pledge for that sweet heart backer :)
Creator Chris Carroll on April 6, 2012
you know its messed up, i see projects that ask for 10,000 and get 100,000 but this is something that is need and i don't think it will get there...
Creator Bernie Graham on April 5, 2012
We need a sweet hart backer to drop 50k at this one. Come on we know you're out there!
Creator Al Calavicci on April 5, 2012
Anyway you can make it matte (like the Lumia 900) and not glossy . I don't like finger prints.
Creator Evolution Controllers on April 5, 2012
@Preston thanks for the support! @Luis Thanks for modifying your pledge! @Matt We hope we hit the goal as well! @Jacob Thanks for support and post today!

Creator Jesse Story on March 30, 2012
I <3 the fact that you are using a PadPivot (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jay-design/padpivot-lap-and-desk-stand-for-your-ipadtablet-or…) in one of the pictures.
Creator Evolution Controllers on March 26, 2012
Thanks Bernie!
We too are very excited to see where the KS community can help take this. Developers, hackers and gamers could really help push this product to the next level!
Creator Bernie Graham on March 24, 2012
Looks cool guys. It sure would be a great story to see the KS community help promote your dream. This could be a real people's product and great story. I hope the coders out there jump on board and help spread the word through their Internet communities.
