Hey everyone! Best wishes for 2026.
A few changes for 2026 in my workshop. I am currently finishing up my stock of GameCube and Nintendo 64 controllers. Once these are done, I don't plan on painting them for the time being anymore, as I am quite burnt out on them, after having painted thousands of them the previous years.
I am also done with the Switch Pro Controllers, I have finished my entire stock of them, everything has been painted and I have no plans on restocking. So what's available right now on my shop is the end of the line.
I want to be focusing on more modern controllers, like the Switch 2 joy-cons, but also 8BitDo controllers.
I have a custom 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller coming, with a matching Youtube video. And a whole set of artisan resin buttons made for that controller! These will come in super limited supply. They'll be dropped on my shop before the end of the year.
The new export rules to the United States has really put a heavy blow on my business, unfortunately. The US was my main market, and without it my business simply can't survive. What I'm saying here is that controller painting is basically back to being a hobby for me. I will paint much less now, and most likely what's in my shop right now will never be painted again!
For all of my customers that prefer to order on Etsy: price on Etsy are increased by 15~20% to cover up their outrageous fees. I understand their purchase protection is very valuable, but you are indeed paying much more for the same thing. I offer great customer support no matter what. I would highly encourage you to purchase directly on my website! It's cheaper for you, and better for me. Thank you!

Great post will buy some 8bit do stuff too. Wish I would have seen this post before buying from Etsy but oh well. Have a good day over across the pond.
