I had a rush of orders, with a couple of dual sticks mixed in there. I just ordered parts for 15 more joysticks, but that will take 11-14 days to arrive, typically. I have parts for a couple controllers, but that’s it till the first week of March. All orders that are currently in queue have all parts on hand, so no worries for those who have already bought.

My wife is in the hospital right now, I so I won’t be able to fill any orders until the weekend of 2/15/2025.

Nothing too serious, side effects from cancer prevention treatment. Just waiting for tests to complete.

I really don’t like to get caught up in world politics, but here we are. I am based in the United States of America, and Cyberphreak Enterprises LLC is incorporated in Illinois, so I can’t avoid the trade war, so I am caught in this like every other US based company.

I did try to prepare by stocking up on small parts and some of the larger parts. I have complete parts for 7 or 9 controllers, depending on the configuration. As a little inside information, my parts cost is about 45-50% of my sell price, so a 10% tariff will result in about a 5-6% sell price increase. I will make adjustments as parts change price. The existing 10% tariff for Chinese based parts is already baked in, so it looks like I am going to paying 21% tariffs. (10%+10% is a 21% tax, jewelry store math).

For my friends up north in Canada, I am not sure what to do yet. If your Prime Minister retaliates, and I don’t blame him one bit, I don’t know how willing people will be to pay the 25% increase on top of the 6ish percent. What a mess.

We will get through this and I will make sure I am fair and open will all increases and I will not be making an extra penny.
