To clarify, the original Neo Geo controller was an arcade stick. The controller this is based on was the gamepad that came with the Neo Geo CD, which came 4 years later (and flopped badly).

For $16, does it actually come with the USB dongle? Is that dongle the 8BitDo USB Wireless Controller Adapter 2? The adapter is worth $18 by itself.

It most likely is not the 8BitDo USB Wireless Controller Adapter 2. Check the photo of dongle - it doesn't say "2" on it.

Great brand. I bought some controllers from them before, and they are good for the price.

It's based off of the original Neo Geo controller, and the reviews on amazon for it are 4.5 out of 5 stars. I bought one at launch and use it for Neo Geo games. It's kinda niche but the controller works well.

Great review here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cQTkTCrImk

Major Takeaway: joypad has a long range of travel which reduces reaction times in games.

It's still a "D-pad", as in directional pad...it's not an analog thumbstick like you are thinking. It's just the way the D-pad was designed on the old Neo Geo. Some people love it

Controller is nice and great for emulation. This worked on my RG35xx and Powkiddy X55 with some minor button changes.

it had only 9 reviews on amazon when i looked, and given amazon reviews seem gameable i tend to not trust them when the total is so low. i figure it's easy to round up a few family or employees and get them to post good reviews on your product when the total # of reviews is low. not saying at all that happened in this case, they are probably fine.

i didnt find a ton of yt review but a couple, one of which was linked in this thread, seemed to slant a bit negative. thats what i based my reviews comment on.

i did find a glowing website review later fwiw.

Here is the same one minus the graphics: over 200 reviews, 4.7 stars. No brainer if you just need a spare controller lying around
