Was going to post it, had to order first

I've already bought 8 (to keep under the €23), but trying to get another 8 is Timing out constantly.

Ah well, probably a purposely marketed misprice .. We'll see.

EDIT - Got 2nd 8. Gonna keep it at that.

I doubt they'll be honoured, but fingers x'd. I didn't even count how many I want.
I think I would only use 12 (Nephew, friends, me etc..) 4 extra would be handy too.

what devices will these work with ?
apart from xbox and playstations, is there any use for them on ipads etc ?

I got the timeout but also got an email from Paypal confirm payment.

Do i need to order again ?

Cheers OP.

Btw I paid in $ on FocalPrice and PayPal converted it and tried to charge their rate of $5.98 = €5.41. I changed the setting so that it charged in $ and AIB charged me €5.27 incl fees instead, compared to Google's rate of €5.21 that's not too bad.

Just a heads up for anyone else and let's hope they're honoured!

Why? Whats the €23 limit for?

Customs. Think it's a bit higher than that though.

In case they get stopped by customs.
I reckon they're supposed to be priced at €27.40 each, so don't know if we'll get them, but if they do honour the price and they get stopped, I'll have a receipt from paypal and invoice from them for €21.92.

Here too, paypal receipt but no confirmation email from focalprice. Probably an error price, but worth a shot!

Would they be sore on batteries?

Gave it a go, hard to pass up at that price!

This review: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/mobile-phone-accessories/xiaomi-wireless-bluetooth-gamepad-review-3618460/

Says it works with Android devices and PC's but not Apple devices.

Also says in description: Compatible with all google standard interface and devices with Bluetooth connection mode

dammit, bought 2, don't even really need it

Was looking at getting something like this for a while for playing emulators etc on the go on my Google Nexus 5, worth getting?

Allyall

Works with Android and Jailbroken iOS devices apparently. Doesn't work with Xbox 360/One or PS3/4.

Had been working with Wii U until an update apparently. I'm reading a little more now.

EDIT - Apparently launched for 1 Yuan (~€0.11c).






But that was only for the first 300 sales.

Well I took a chance and ordered 2.
Decided to take the option with the tracking number just to see what route it goes. Assuming of course that they honour the price.

tharmor

I updated new address in paypal while adding card details...MF took old junk address in the order...now can't get it changed....balls...

Subcomandante Marcos

Ordered through paypal, if it's honored it would be handy for playing older games through emulators on the laptop.

Thanks, took a chance, ordered!! Now the suspense begins

Got the mail from Paypal but nothing from Focalprice. Although the order is showing up in my account. Anyone got mail from focal?

dos29

Not even sure what these are but I just ordered 4.
Thanks. I think?

crabbypaddy

These are really good quality have one for a couple of months, theres no way thay are selling them for $2. Focalprice do this all the time, get thousands of people to sign up then cancel orders.

No it goes to sleep, mine has same batteries for two months.

gone up to e23

duridian

Same story here as others have reported. Got the email from PayPal shortly after placing the order, but have heard squat from Focalprice. My order shows as paid in the account I created on FP site.
Just have to wait and see for now....

Edit: Switched to the desktop version of FP site and the status on that says "Paid & Unpacked". When I go into the detailed order description it says " The tracking number will be sent to you shortly. " (I selected the delivery with tracking option when buying.)

Order status 'paid & unpacked' too - delivery time a bit ominous:

I placed a separate order for some crappy headphones and they have the same date. So hopefully nothing to worry about !

Weird as apparently some on HUKD are getting their orders (some multiple) despatched, but that site has lots of trolls.

I have a feeling that they will still be cancelled.

duridian

I sent them a request for a refund after seeing postsnthing's post at 10.44.

Hope they have the decency to issue a refund promptly after wasting our time.
I don't believe they will honour any of these, and that it is little more that an attempt to suck people into paying the full price for these controllers, while also harvesting addresses and data.

I don't mind too much if they cancel but I just wish they'd take their fingers out of their asses and either cancel or fulfill. Fcuking limbo. :mad:

I wonder why postsnthing was worded differently.
My first email was sent 14 hours ago, as I'd say postsnthing was, but everyone elses seems to be the same.

coldfire1x

Got the same cancellation email. Ah well it was worth a try. Hope we get the refund soon.
