  Either they're their own resellers and don't want to change, or they can't get enough FPGA cores so they turn to silliness to market their very limited inventory.

  Similarly they offer very little support, almost no communication, and yeah, just kind of weird.

  They’re a really small company and lean heavily on their sibling company 8bitdo for some bits. Getting the FPGAs is the problem generally, and the same reason why it’s hard to find a mister. They usually similar chips too. The size of the company also explains the support issues.

  I've bought everything they've made, but they don't have great customer support. The only shipping they do is extremely expensive express shipping internationally. They had some adapters that were previously OOS come available, but the Pocket system was OOS. I emailed them, asking them if I could buy the adapters, have them put them aside, and reserve the Pocket, and have them ship it all at once whenever the Pocket was in stock. I even offered to pay it all up front so they weren't put out. They basically (politely) told me to suck it up, and buy both, and pay ~ 100 AUD each time to ship them express, separately.

    Their shipping/fulfilment is utterly terrible. Their shipping is exceptionally expensive for the size & weight they’re shipping, and allows for no selection of courier. Niche audio companies (eg Schiit) do this infinitely better!
