I have a feeling that these are likely discontinued and 8BitDo is running through backstock. I was really wanting to get the US/TG16 variation, but they've been sold out any and everywhere for nearly half a year. Also, I'm not certain how the law pertains to it, but if they can't sell this controller in the EU if it was manufactured starting this year due to the Micro-USB charge connector I really don't see them making a revision with USB-C like they have recently for their more popular controllers.
Basically, if you want one, buy now. I doubt this controller is being restocked once sold out. Maybe in a year or two they'll bring it back w USB-C if there's enough clamoring, but since the Analogue Duo was so niche compared to the Pocket, or even SuperNT or MegaSG, I just don't see it.
That said, I have the EU/Core version and it's by far one of my least favorite 8BitDo Controllers. I tend to use one of my M30 or SN30 my Duo since they're so much more comfortable.
Finally, for the folks wondering if it works w PC, yes, it does.
