You are probably right, but who else are making original controllers that have better quality control? Its such a niche market that its either retrobit with sega tax or aliexpress.

Im concerned that de9 version was made specifically for mega sg and since last batch of them is coming late next year its logical 8bitdo would restock it only then too.

Yeah, same, shipping to europe is usually $50+tax, with amazon its $20 including taxes.

Thanks for sharing. That does look more like the normal 6 button though. Im mostly interested in the difference in ergonomics of places where the base of your thumb rests.

Theory crafting follows.

In my opinion the original 3 button/big6 would kinda make you hold it with your wrists locked in and facing each other. Meanwhile normal sega 6button shape would probably be gripped with your wrists facing towards your body in a more natural, relaxed fashion. Given sega went with same grip design for saturn im concerned going back to the 3 button design is objectively worse but retrobit/sega are betting on nostalgia to milk the last cents from people that don't know better.
