Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

I only saw and messed with some because at the time of its release I worked at GameStop-owned EBGames. Gawd those things were pieces of shit. But yeah I have never ever seen one out in the wild, and I don't know of anyone who actually bought one, let alone used it.
As I mentioned above, the Adaptive Triggers and the haptic feedback rumble are the only things that require a wired connection. Oh and I think DualSense speaker usage too.
