Looks fantastic. The goal has already been reached so $20 WILL get you a controller. It looks almost like a cross between an XBOX and HORI controller.
This is NOT my kickstarter, but it is too cool to not pass up.

That does look nice.  It's tempting.  There are a lot of day left so there is time to think about it.

I notice that there are two Z buttons.  I assume they both do the same thing and I guess they are just on both sides so that you can use whichever one is more comfortable. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

The controller looks great. I wonder if they also ship to Euro for a reasonable price.

I wonder why they're asking so little. $13.000 is a small fraction of what they'll need for a project like that.

Checked that as soon as this topic was posted... and only thing that prevents me for supporting this is that the shipping would be 20 bucks per controller to Europe.. and then would come custom charge 4 Euros + VAT 24% after that.

Look under "risks and challenges."  They are claiming that they don't need that much more funding.  But I agree.  It makes me a little nervous.  You don't want them to run out of money and then you loose out on your "investment."

We already have a pre-release version made that is 100% functional we just need the additional funding to complete the controller and go into production. We will make sure to keep our project on time according to the mentioned timeline schedule.

One of us can buy some for you, and then ship. as I am most likely going to buy 4+ when the colors become available.

This looks great. I've always wanted to import a Hori Mini Pad but the price was always prohibitively expensive. This seems like a great alternative. Adding it to my wishlist!

Well past the first and second stretch goals.  It's looking pretty good so far.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to back this.  Now I'm just deciding if I want to do one or two controllers.  It's too bad the shipping is so much, but it still seems like you are getting a good deal.

I've already backed for one, but if we get a gold color variant, I'll be in for at least one more.
