8BitDo no longer shipping to US from China due to Trump tariffs

Polygon writes: "U.S. customers can still order controllers, mice, and other peripherals that are already at the company’s U.S. warehouse. There doesn’t appear to be any way to tell what’s available at the U.S. warehouse on the website itself, but the checkout page — after inputting an address — will display what products in the cart can’t be shipped to the U.S."

I have one of their adapters to use my PS5 controllers on my Switch, and I absolutely love it. I'm sure there are other brands that can do the same thing, but I had heard about 8Bitdo and wasn't disappointed. I also really dig the brick design of it.

One of soon many I fear.

Only gonna get worse from here folks. It was also reported that the US economy contracted for the first time in 6 years. - the last time was also when trump was in office. I guess that’s what happens when idiots choose belief over actual facts. Thx maga. You f**ked us all.

Lol, belief over actual facts... I don't usually get into political talks. Since you started it though... Trump was at least upfront about what he was doing for the most part. I don't necessarily think he's doing the best job. But I'd much rather have him in office. Over someone who should be in assisted living or their VP who had 20 different personas depending on her audience at the time.

And look at that, I was just talking about the candidates. Not resorting to calling people idiots because they didn't vote the way I chose.

You think that Biden should be in an assisted living facility (which is true) but that Trump is completely sane? Or that someone with "20 different personas" (no idea why you get this idea) is better than a guy found guilty of sexual abuse? Nevermind all the stuff that he's doing that's illegal or his abuse of power? Hard not to think you are challenged if you really think that.

'At least the dipshit evil fascist tangerine is honest about how all the stupid evil shit he's doing' is not the defense you think it is.
And 'I fucked over millions of people but you have to be polite to me' is the dumbest thing ive ever heard, believed exclusively by mouth breath oxygen thieves.

The economy was great under Biden though, now we're in recession.

I'm not american, but I think folks will be fine without 95% of chinese crap that is imported anually. Afaik americans don't even have room in their houses anymore becuse of so much cheap chinese stuff they bought over the years. I don't think China will do so well when 20% of the population gets unemployed.
They will eventually come to terms in negotiations.

A lot of these companies will also be moving manufacturing around to avoid these tariffs. I believe Flidigi is setting up Flidigi US, Gamesir are doing something similar If I remember correctly. They are considered by many as the best 3rd party controllers in China. Tariffs or not. The US is still valid for trade as our market is so considerably sized, and as we know. People will spend money regardless.

Gadget Hyper announced that they will still be shipping to the US and mitigating the cost of the tariffs as much as possible to maintain customer's good will. I choose to try and remain just a little optimistic. Can't do much more as of now.

Just confirmed that Gamesir and Flidigi will indeed still sell in the US as they have headquarters out of Florida, and gadget hyper has confirmed. Stock will be low initially, but will rebound. Just expect to start seeing Gamesir US, and Flidigi US as online stores on Amazon as well as other online distributors.

"Hey！There’s no need to be overly concerned. According to reliable sources, Flydigi is currently transitioning its Amazon store to a new U.S.-based entity. As a result, there may be temporary stock shortages and inventory adjustments during this period. However, we believe this transitional phase will conclude soon.

In the meantime, we’d like to warmly welcome you to consider placing your order through GadgetHyper. We are an officially authorized Flydigi partner and provide the same level of customer support as Flydigi themselves!"
