the v1 controller is not a "limited edition" it is exactly like the v2 controller with a different chipset and it probably lacks the v2 logo on the outside. the performance will be roughly equivalent....from what we are told, the range might be a bit different (shorter).
I get it you may want to wait to see the reviews or hear what others have to say. for the questions you mentioned, I like to find the answers for myself and see for myself instead of depending on what other people tell me or show me on yt. at this point, I know better for myself than anyone else how a device feels to me, the ergonomics, the latency. since I have found out how to get in on this deal with little to no risk (it is not an investment for me), it's an easy call for me. but I understand it's not so "wide open" for the next guy. so we'll let you know how we feel when/if we get our v1 sc. just keep in mind, if you have a v1 drone and you don't get your hands on a v1 controller, you don't have a lot of good options should you come to the table late and decide the sc is an outstanding piece of equipment. you can still make it work but knowing the quantities of the v1 sc are "limited" not limited edition but scarce, to me that impacts my decision-making quite a bit....the urgency as in there is little or no time to wait for opinions. but I could be wrong, the general public could reject the v1 sc and hundreds are idle at a cheap price. it's a gamble for sure.
