Drop has a very nice 9 key macro pad called the Nin-doio. It’s a macro pad that’s made to closely mimic the GBA! It’s pricey but it’s really good build quality and very very cool.

They shouldn’t bother. I highly doubt they’ll ever be able to put quality software on their cars.

I think it’s more than the counterfeit versions have gotten so good and/or cheap that the genuine manufacturers feel the need to compete by placing microchips in their cheese rather than improve their own or bring down the price.
