      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.

      @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!?

      @Harold

      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.

      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 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.
