  1. I've reunited with my Jaguar for a few hours tonight and tried out the controllers with a bunch of games. I've never used a pro controller before so my only frame of reference is my standard 3 button controller, purchased as "new" from eBay a number of months ago. The overall look and feel of the new controllers is great, very Jaguar-y and authentic feeling. Unfortunately that also means the d-pad is very shallow and stiff, like the standard controller. This isn't a fault of this new pro controller, though I wouldn't have minded losing some authenticity to slightly improve this aspect. On the plus side, the plastic and shape of the d-pad feels much nicer than the standard controller. Also, after the end of my play session the d-pad seemed to have loosened up a tiny bit so it's possible the feel of the d-pad will improve a little more over time. One thing that is hugely improved compared to the standard controller: the main A/B/C buttons are rounded and have a nice soft click to them. This is a lot better than the mushy feel of the standard controller buttons. For me this is reason enough to put the standard controller away and never use it again. I was caught off guard by how clicky the shoulder buttons are. It would be great if someone could make some rom hacks (in particular for Alien vs Predator) to make use of them. I ran into a couple of small technical issues with one of the controllers: the bottom row of pins on the plug were ever so slightly offset/bent, preventing me from being able to insert the controller into the port. I carefully bent them a little with a large flat head screwdriver and it now inserts perfectly. Also the '0' button on the numeric keypad sticks a little bit. The other controller is perfect, no issues with the pins or numeric keypad. Overall I'm really pleased. Major major props to Starwander for making this happen.
  2. My controllers just arrived. It is surreal and amazing to be holding a freshly manufactured Jaguar Pro controller in 2018. I can't wait to try these out tonight. Thanks again for making these!!!!!!!!!!
  3. I imagine many people will be returning to complete their purchase in the coming weeks and months. Also as more awareness builds you'll end up getting purchases from people who randomly find out about the controllers and never put their name on the list (like me).
  4. This is amazing. Thank you for making this. Order placed. It'll be nice to have some fresh controllers to use.
  5. Please add me for an uncased version (with the case included separately).
