I reserved mine back in May and haven’t received an email about it. Their announcement made it sound like I should expect something in '26 but when I look at my estimated time, it says not until '27. >:[

Love how, every year, gaming hardware is getting harder and harder to acquire. 👍

I’m starting to regret not getting one.

I feel like they carefully manufactured a low supply situation to keep price and expectations up. It’s not like a controller uses ddr5 ram or any high demand components. They didn’t make more simply because they didn’t want to.

Just to try to understand how bad this is, I reserved mine on May 8 at 18:48:30 +0000 (UTC) no email so far. Did someone that reserved received an email? If yes, when did you reserve and when did you receive the email to order your controller?
