Anyone else cautiously excited?

First, this:

Second, no. Don't care at all. Clone consoles suck. They all do, and I have little reason to sliver that this peice of cheap-ass crap will be better based on the track record.
Also, what?

I've never heard anyone say that. Ever.
FFXIK:
Given that their earlier, less ambitious consoles are hit or miss. Definately.
SnesGuy:
You got a lot of hate there wiggy.
I like my retro duo v3 for the bedroom. never had a problem with it.
I've just wanted a half way decent blue tooth controller for a while now.
Never saw the earlier topic on it. But they just released a lot of new info on it yesterday and today.
Lol @ the engadget quote

I just don't like cheap crap that doesn't work right, and I've really only ever heard bad things about Hyperkin products, including how god awful ugly they are. I mean, look at this disgusting turd :(
Ugh. I can't support that. I'd NEED to make a custom shell just so I didn't wanna hurl when looking at it.
Don't get me wrong, if it comes out and is awesome, then I'll buy one. I won't pass up a good piece of hardware, despite it being so effin' ugly. But I just don't have any reason to think it won't be a turd based on previous efforts.
