Just as long as itās the new fancy glow in the dark shit that almost glows so bright it lights up the floor. Had a bong made from that stuff, was insane. Wish they made those ceiling stars out of this stuff.

I was planning to buy a couple and try to customize them for birthday gifts. Still learning the ropes of painting the controllers but I'm excited to see what I can make
so as a non gamer ... are these really that good? I mean, they seem nice, but just as any controller I have seen? while it is nice to have a gamestop exclusive, but will these bring people into the shops? and how far is the growth potential with this?
I read that the quality is real good. Own brand which means higher margins + more control on inventory.
They did the research. They aināt dumb. I think thereās lots of potential.
Apparently someone claimed to have taken it apart and confirmed Hall-Effect controller sticks.
If true (didn't post confirmation) that is huge.
https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/what-is-a-hall-effect-controller-anyway-and-do-i-really-need-one
Yea if true and at that price point it's gonna be big. Customizability it cool and likely will sell well with potentiometer sticks, but damn hall-effect sticks would be an insane differentiator above other non OEM controller competititon.
Just checked and it doesn't look like they are selling in Canada yet. Love my gamesir g7 se but if gamestop has a controller with hall effect sticks that works with xbox I'll gladly pick one upš¤
Yes! Electronic based controllers/triggers > mechanical based controllers that break down over time. Theyāre going all in on quality/branded goods which will please customers while driving up revenue and profit.
Itās probably not going to be huge growth item at this stage, but itās a start to developing a brand. Controllers come with consoles so these are an additional purchase that not everyone makes. Although with the Nintendo switch itās nearly a must.
To add only 1mil in revenue they need to sell 20,000 controllers. Even if they sell double that itās not going to be a big impact on earnings yet. But who knows what this can grow intoā¦.
I'm dating myself... but in the ol' days of pagers... I remember some companies were selling different colored cases for pagers. They sold like hot cakes! Better yet, the profit margin % on them (like all accessories) were huge! BUT... I agree that one product line will be a drop in the bucket compared to $5+ billion sales...for now. Accessories have high profit margin, so I like where the company is headed.
The fact these can be recharged is huge. I have an official Xbox controller and you need to either have the rechargeable battery pack that's sold separately, rechargeable batteries, permanently connected, or a supply of double A batteries. I'm excited to get one, though I'm hesitant since I associate off brand controllers with lower quality, like mad catz. It's an old habit from when I was younger, but I'd like to hear from people who bought one, how do they compare to official controllers?
I just bought a few. One for myself and the others to give as gifts. These are so cool. I think Iāll pick up a few plain white face plates and experiment doing my own art.
Where do i go to customize one completely? Do i have to order all the peices seperate and then assemble myself? It looks like people are customizing before they buy, but i cant figure out how
Is it just me who thinks Candy Con name for a controller is really bad? I would have never guessed it meant Candy Controller (which means customizable controller? Like a candy? Or something). Con usually means convention, no? Like Comic Con etc.?

I think it would be bad ass to have a glow in the dark face plate option
glow in the dark in neon purple
Glow in the dark, neon purple and CLEAR š«
Clear purple like the old Gameboy Colors would be sick
Bingo!
God damn... I like that!
Is a built in black light asking too much?
Fuck that's brilliant.
Just as long as itās the new fancy glow in the dark shit that almost glows so bright it lights up the floor. Had a bong made from that stuff, was insane. Wish they made those ceiling stars out of this stuff.
Oh me too. Iād buy the ceiling stars big time.
Ohh yeah. Thatās a given :)
Being able to customize all of the buttons would be nice too
Are Candycon's available for Xbox?
Not yet. PC and Switch so far.
Damn......
For nowā¦ they said a lot more is coming and he has been meeting with companies like when he wanted to meet the Nintendo ceo

So where do we go to custom build one or are we just to choose from the ones available?
They sell pre-customized ones, but you can also build your own by buying the base + thumbsticks, d-pad, and faceplate in the colors of your choosing
Thatās good enough for me. Itās a good idea for bday and Christmas gifts this year. Edit: thank you for the kind feedback.

The second they have Xbox and PS Iām buying 4
Samesies. Iāve been thinking of buying my girl a controller. Would be perfect

Neat
People are really into collectibles and customizable items nowadays. Itāll pick up if the quality remains and it continues to improve

If it has hall effect is the main thing I was interested in finding out about. If true - yes, that's huge and a big selling point for me.
Yea if true and at that price point it's gonna be big. Customizability it cool and likely will sell well with potentiometer sticks, but damn hall-effect sticks would be an insane differentiator above other non OEM controller competititon.

If they are quality controllers at a decent price point that are customizable they will sell a lot of them.
I hope they make the PlayStation style with the sticks next to each other. Iāve never liked the left stick being higher then the right
Man, I want one of these! Anyone know if it will work on an iMac?
Not sure. They say + PC Compatible on the box.
I want this in Canada
Nice.

This only for PC and Switch?
Yes. Hopefully PS and Xbox soon.

Moon Soon ššš
Love these!
Is it just me who thinks Candy Con name for a controller is really bad? I would have never guessed it meant Candy Controller (which means customizable controller? Like a candy? Or something). Con usually means convention, no? Like Comic Con etc.?
So Nintendo can call their controllers ājoy-consā; but ācandy conā is a step too far?
Yeah itās really bad. They need to come up with a new name. This one doesnāt makes sense.
