Yea I agree. @tripletopper please start a new thread for this. Plenty of interest will be found for this topic and more eyes will see it if it has it's own title. This subject is being missed because folks think this this is about a new batch of long play controllers.

tripletopper Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Yes I already did start a new one. It's something with words similar to "Uncoded Fight Stick to INTV adapter." It's organized under the main Intellivision folder. I understand with so many discussions people might not be aware I did it last night overnight New York time. It's funny how we're posting about posting habits. How derivative. I would have liked to copy paste the move, but instead, I respoke it and I ended up editing it before posting it, getting rid of redundant points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MattelAquarius Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Well, I ordered two controllers in March. In April they said there is a 20-30 day lead time on the controllers. It's now the middle of June, and I haven't gotten a response to my email inquiries. https://cotegamers.com/ Now, I may be moving soon, so there's that added nuance. If they don't ship now, and don't process emails properly, then it seems this will never work out. I should have known better based on posts from others about this company, it seems.

My understanding is Cote had a bit of a shakeup firing some of the new folks they had hired who were in fact not doing their job and email communication was a big part of that problem. Patrice has been responsive to my emails in the last week or so.. it's just two folks now so a bit but yea i just finished printing 360 buttons and now I'm moving over to start printing the shells. I'm waiting to hear back if he wants me to do the same brown / yellow color or if we can introduce a new color for this new batch.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MattelAquarius Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 On July 2nd, I received an email stating the controllers had been shipped, and included a tracking number. No package has arrived, and they did not say which shipping service the tracking number was from. Anyone know what they use? I worry the tracking number is just a placeholder, but I hope that is just pessimism and not reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No luck, unfortunately. Edit to say "should" have mentioned that. Sorry my editing typo made it sound rude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 @sramirez2008 I just went to the cote site for one of my previous orders and looked at the details, it has a link for tracking your order. for me it was: https://www.laposte.fr/outils/track-a-parcel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had accidentally tried that previously by googling French post tracking number. This now pretty much confirms that the tracking number is erroneus. Thank you for the help, evg2000. ***Update*** I have been sent the correct tracking number, and it appears to indeed be en route. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I can't test them, because my INTV is already in storage while I sell my house. Still, I'm glad they finally arrived. While the company did deliver, it was not a pleasant experience. Just shy of four full months for an order, with a painful communication process along the way. Hopefully, the company is learning and improving. I hope you receive your items soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leowic Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Any more around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illtiger1 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I highly recommend using the included thumbstick for the directional option. Works much better for games like Burgertime than the disc (comes shipped in the controller) or included directional pad. Just be careful with the buttons when you switch it because the numerical buttons can fall out and create a hassle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
