8bitdo products are by far the most aggressively shilled products I have ever seen in my entire life of dealhunting. That is a big statement to make, but holy jesus this company is the worst
This company pays big bucks then sells you products that though feel high quality, constantly lag/disconnect. You contact them for warranty, they demand you pay return shipping, then shipping back. That's assuming they don't string you along for months upon months of useless technical steps that you've already taken hoping you forget and your warranty runs out.
Avoid 8bitdo ultimate controllers like the plague.

So likely liquidating before they stop all business in the US.

Numerous reports are CCP had retailers mass overflow their warehouses to then grandstand a halt to shipments.
This is just positioning and strategy.
Even Amazon did a clearance sale of junk to make room in their fulfillment.

The charging dock one of the pins got bent, sent a pic of it to them, they asked for an address and about a month later I got a charging dock replacement, they did not ask for shipping charges or anything just an address, proof of receipt, and pic of the bent pic. Not sure what sort of issues you got with them but I did not have any issues with them mrmochi
And I have not had these disconnects/lags with my controller that you speak of, to each their own but I have not had any issues with the controller since last year October

Not sure why the slickdeal popped up now.

The Ultimate C R2 spring snapped off within a month. I opened it and popped the spring back on and it fixed it, but man that thing is flimsy.
For casual gaming, or having spares for when gaming occasionally with friends, 8bitdo has been solid for me. Can't vouch for this exact controller - I have an Ultimate and Ultimate 2, in pink and purple because girl dad. But they still work a year later like they just came out of the box.
Seems like a solid deal at the $20 price point. But if you are putting hours a day on it, it's probably worth investing upfront in a factory controller.
Edit: I have not owned this controller, but replying tot he post that had nothing to do with this specific controller
