KICKSTARTER PANDA CONTROLLER UPDATE
In an update this week, the creators talk about how while the project was a labor of love for three years, that there is now no way they can make their intended December 2022 delivery date. It also had “weight pack” add-ons so you could change the actual weight of the controller to suit your comfort level, and had an optional wireless connectivity pack.Īlas, with all of the issues with global distribution (mainly the worldwide semiconductor shortage) and “ongoing rolling blackouts” at their distribution center, it wasn’t meant to be. Some of the incredibly ambitious features include additional buttons, custom-length triggers, a tactile/upgraded d-pad, braided cables, expansion packs, and subtle enhancements on the original design while keeping the core intact.

We can’t thank you enough for the support you’ve given us to help make our dreams a reality. We know how disappointing this is for many of you. As of today, we’ll be canceling our Kickstarter early with all pledges fully refunded while we pursue outside investment to continue the project internally. We had to make an incredibly difficult decision that we hope is the right one for everyone. After a lot of deliberation, we felt it wasn’t right of us to hold onto your funds for an unknown amount of time without being able to guarantee when delivery will be. So, with the Panda Controller timeline not having a clear end date, we had to figure out what the best next steps are.

We know how excited you all are to get the Panda Controller as soon as possible, but it looks like we can’t guarantee the December 2022 date anymore and we don’t know what the new date will be yet. Among other new roadblocks, our main manufacturing partner in China is being affected by ongoing rolling blackouts, slowing their production which was already affected by COVID-related shortages. Since opening the Kickstarter, we’ve been made aware of a few factors outside of our control that, when added up, have affected our production timeline. Check out the full statement below: We have some unfortunate news to share today. Panda Global plans to pursue outside investment to continue the project internally in the meantime. As a result, the Kickstarter has been cancelled and refunds to all backers will processed as soon as possible. A new shipment date for the controller will be announced once ready. This is due to production being affected by shortages and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. In a rather unfortunate update, Panda Global announced that the Panda Controller is no longer shipping in December 2022.
