According to The Camel, this is the lowest this particular model has ever been, but... It's been this price since March 23rd.

First time? Jk but yeah it's been this way for a few years now. Gotta know your products and market to really sniff the rare good deals.

I believe this one is extra pricey because the wireless dongle actually works with Xbox, where all their other Xbox compatible controllers require it to be wired. Gotta pay that Microsoft licensing fee I guess.

I'm really excited about this controller, but $60 is a lot. I'm going to wait.

I concur. I bought mine last year after they first went on sale on Ali Express. I was able to snag mine for $72 using a coupon.

How have you been liking it? Worth it?

For supposedly being a "limited edition" it's been around a while.

Don't let the "Limited Edition" designation fool you. I already had plenty of 8Bitdo controllers lying around my house, however, I purchased this controller first and foremost due to nostalgia since I grew up playing a lot of RARE games during my childhood ion the 90s and the Banjo Kazooie colorway is "peak." Second of all, I was planning to do a review of this controller on my YouTube channel, but still haven't gotten around to it yet since I currently have a backlog of devices/products sitting on the back burner due to other obligations in my personal life and this controller is one of them. I know that's probably not what you wanted to hear.

One thing a/b this controller that makes it stand out though is that it is officially licensed by Microsoft and it can wirelesly connect directly to an XBox console via Bluetooth w/o the need for a dongle or cable connection which has been a drawback for other previously released 3rd party XBox controllers officially licensed by Microsoft.
