Margins too slim to continue production, I would assume. If “cheap” is the only concern there are plenty of pads on AliExpress that are dirt cheap and good enough, you can try buying a bunch of those.

On topic though, I think I could get a custom Hitbox for these money, if I wanted to go back to seriously playing FGs. So thanks, Razer, but no, thanks.

nah, even cheaper ... a custom hitbox/flatbox/fightbox can go as low as 33$ just like my Chun Li model (Cherry MX Speed silver, RPi pico based )

a bit more compact but highly customizable well built and they exist in multiple options (mine is 12 buttons but can go higher depending on the model )
