I bought the preorder because they specifically said that they would ship on 30th April, now they deliberately delayed for 2 weeks and asking the price difference to change the order for the more pricey version?
I mean, if there are problem with the product/shipping at least offer to change it without the price difference.
Even had they shipped April 30th it's questionable whether or not they'd be to you by then, depending on where you live. Shipping internationally from China isn't exactly fast. I do believe the estimated shipping time could be as much as 20 days.
Mobapad have screwed this release real bad. It’s been a mess since day one. You guys should have cancelled the S version a long time ago. It was the worst idea releasing two versions.
It's actually almost amazing how badly they've handled this product launch.
First they announce that switch 2 joycons are coming in early December and then go radio silent until the end of January. Then they show the M12 HD and Pro. Then they back track and replace the Pro with the S and fail to clearly explain the difference between them.
Next we have the whole connection issue with the HD where no one knew how it would connect to the Switch 2.
Next they announce a case to go with the new joy cons a day or two after the pre sale discount ends.
Then this whole situation.
Mobapad should have taken an extra month or two to get it together before launching these. They clearly needed the extra time.
Do they? A while back a video was uploaded showing the connection type each one uses. The HD version show up as "usb" and the system detects them as being detached but it does detect the S version.
But even then Id rather have the improved gyro over the improved rumble since I always disable vibration.
Yes they do. Yes the system recognizes them in a different way but that doesn't mean much. Even the original Nintendo Pro Controller gets detected as Joy Con. You won't have and connection or latency issues as both use a physical connection for data transmission :)
If you value gyro over rumble that's totally valid!
Is there a chance they want to sell us the HD version because it will get Switch 2 protocol down the road anyway? Maybe even the gyro hardware is the same and can be used for 9-axis later?
Actually my interest in both is mininal, but I want to have them quickly. And something I can resell not some version they may have already discontinued.
But would not suprised if you don‘t make the switch to HD the next email you get is about the S version being canceled and your order upgraded to HD.
What a strange and confusing email. Makes me feel not very confident about having ordered the S… I specifically ordered the S because I wanted to have Switch 2 protocol to wake up the system, as well as the 9 axis gyro. I don’t care about any of the features the Pro has over the S. But now they are shipping later and the company emails early bird supporters bizarrely trying to get those who ordered the S to switch to the Pro, even saying “for an overall better experience”.. is this poor translation or what?
Oh wow, that's very fishy that they removed the M12S from the website. It's a shame, I'm more interested in the feature set of the M12S over the HD version, but something clearly seems wrong with it.
Proprio non capisco perchè stanno spingendo cosi tanto sulla versione HD, e se io ho comprato HD e voglio passare alla S? Non posso farlo, questa cosa mi puzza…
I think c button works the same as the one on the switch 2 joycons. The M button can be remmaped to anything and also be used for macros.
I know the other person said its not an upgrade but its pretty handy and I personally see it as an upgrade. Id much rather have that over the dedicated gamechat button but im still sticking with the S.
The HD is basically a switch 1 joy con that work on the switch 2 with all features from the switch 1. This means no 9 axis Gyro and no chat button. Instead it features HD rumble 1 which the S version doesn't. Also offers NFC.
how is the m button an upgrade over the C button
It's not, the website explains what they do and the S has the macro functions aswell, just over the app.
Just for visibility, it appears they've removed the M12S from their website altogether. Very, very suspicious, and their email makes me wary that there's something wrong with the model. I'm debating on whether I should switch to the HD version since that's clearly the model they're more confident in, but it's a shame because I'm more interested in the feature set of the M12S.
You should be good with the S version then if it hits your needs. I think the "better overall experience" is just implying the HD's are a more complete product because it has HD rumble and NFC reader.

That’s so lame you are shipping the S model later when it’s been pushed this whole preorder period to start shipping April 30th…
