Also in the market for some, hope they don't get sold out too quickly!

For DB15 version, I just assembled over 100, so I'll be getting more to Paradise Arcade in the next couple weeks.
For the screw terminal version, I need to coordinate with Paradise on assembly.

Video Game Perfection may still have some in stock. I can hit them up to see if they need more.
no, VGP is out of stock. I have never seen them in stock at that store.

In for 2!
I apologize for the late reply. I'll shoot you a DM and we can sort it out.@undamned - hoping you can help with a misbehaving db15 model.
I have 2 DB15 UD-USB's. One is having issues with the 2K input. Whenever connected, it holds that connection at 1.0V and the input will not register.
I flashed the firmware - 1.1. 1.3 and 1.4d - no change on either.
I opened the enclosure and found that the 2K input is a direct connection to pic24fj64 pin 4. No components in-line or tangent routes.
All other inputs work fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this and get all inputs working properly?
On a separate note, found an oddity under the hood. See below. A resistor sandwiched between R4 at the ground end, and the non-sandwiched end of that oddball resistor not connected to anything. It doesn't seem to be related to teh issue above, as these components have no connection to 2K or pic pin 4, but a peculiarity for sure. I removed that oddball sandwiched resistor.
I haven't released the next FW rev, yet, but big thanks to @9999 Damage and @FrJosh (on Twitter) for lending me a bunch of controllers to add!
Coming in the next release:

@undamned - thank you for sending the replacment UD-USB!
To you or anyone that knows - where can I find the screws that will secure the UD-USB to the DB-15 terminal? I should've removed mine before sending in the faulty unit...my bad. I believe I pulled the ones shown here out of a VGA or DB-15 housing kit, but it's been quite a long time and I don't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure I was guessing that they would be a right fit and I got lucky that they were. If anyone knows where to get screws that will for sure work, I'd appreciate the pointer.

Thanks for the tip. Mine just arrived.
Installed on one UD-USB and tried screwing it into a HAS 5.0, but I found too difficult and annoying to do regularly. I would only use these if I planned to leave UD-USB installed indefinitely, not for a setup to swap frequently. Because the UD-USB flares out on the USB side, It's hard to turn the screws from the side (no room for a screwdriver) and you have to screw/unscrew them while the DB15 plug is partially inserted.

TBH, I wasn't really having an issue with UD-USB being too loose on HAS, and I'm at risk of amassing a collection of thumbscrews, so I'm gonna sit this out.
But if someone really wants thumbscrews, I think you want something shorter than the CablesOnline ones, and no wider (lest they create friction with the UD-USB housing).

Yeah, the ones I had previously did not extend out at all just a "screw into the hole". Screwing them in wasn't much less hassle, because your screwdriver has to be at an angle. If someone ever finds a better solution, hoping they post it. I'm good with mine. I don't swap them in and out often.

I used these and they work fine for my config. They are not easy to screw in because you have to hit it with an angle but I never plan on removing the decoders. It secures it from getting yanked out and that’s what matters to me.
