Looks very nice! I thought it was going to have 6 buttons, personally prefer the 4-button version

We still don't seem to have an update on the Dreamcast controllers, but we do have an update on the dual analog Saturn pads. Unfortunately they seem to be a far cry from the one shown in the first page of this thread with tiny joy con sticks

They claim it does actually act as a 3D controller, meaning it's at least above that garbage Retro Fighters Saturn pad that added a stick but was just digital control

wonder if the holdup is getting the analog right on the dc controller since it doesn't work like all the controllers today.
Seems like the strategy is
Release Original - wired, 2.4, bluetooth
Release Above in Red
Release Above in the Big 6 button
Release Above with small dual analog (guess they saw how the small 8bitdo controllers sell)
