Just an FYI, these are cool but they cannot be used as 4 button controllers. The top two are strictly turbo only. Kind of a bummer. Would have been nice to be able to use the top two buttons for other emulators.

I'm still getting $14.40 on the product page. Screenshot below. Last time they had it a similar price it died pretty quickly, but for now it still seems to be live

It's showing up at $14.40 for me but only the PCE Core Edition... the other 2 versions are around $18.

I neglected to add "core" to the OP. I added it now. Ty for the heads up.

These are also smaller than actual TG-16/PCE game pads. The D-Pad also isn't great - a bit flimsy, wonky response… it just feels off.

Thank you from me as well. Surprised you can't assign them to buttons instead of turbo. I wanted one for a backup to my other 8bitdo.

Is bluetooth a poor performer for controllers? Does 2.4ghz interfere with Wifi?
