It's a near perfect copy of the OG. If that's a good or bad thing will be a personal opinion. It's a great + Dpad alternative, but when you read reviews? It's clear it isn't for everyone. Play NEOGEO 90s fighters? It's very accurate. Play Super Mario Wonder? It might throw you off, though I found it solid with 2D platformers.

Excelente mando, muy buenos materiales, baja latencia y bonito diseño. Lo único que encontré como un punto en contra quizás sea un poco en el recorrido del stick de la cruceta, es un poco largo, aunque no cuesta acostumbrase.

Their mini controllers aside, 8bitdo generally makes very good hardware, and before I get into my criticisms of the new Neo Geo CD controller, you should know that this is a SOLID 3 out of 5. It's a good controller.

That said, 8bitdo claims to have emulated the original NGCD controller with the utmost accuracy. I can't speak to this; like most folks, I never owned that hardware. But I put it through its paces on PC and NG Mini, and if this is an exact copy of the original, that controller probably wasn't as high quality as, say... the Pocket Color's clicky joy-nub. The clicks are reassuring but there is just a touch too much waggle before you hit one of the micro switches. It's not a completely flimsy dpad but the deadzone, however slight, does affect your ability to pull off commands that require precision in diagonals. A lot of the time I found myself unable to pull off commands that required quick entry of D, DF, F twice in a row. I also found the controller accidentally hitting UF or UB and when I meant to hit Up. Ironically, this just doesn't cut the mustard as a fighting game controller, Neo Geo labeling notwithstanding.

Smaller criticism but I wish this controller had more expansive compatibility. For example, 8bitdo specifically mentions Neo Geo Mini, but it would have been nice if this also encompassed SNK's very similar Arcade Stick Pro console hardware.

On the other hand, it's satisfyingly clicky and comfortable in the hand, and looks the part.

This isn't outrageously priced, so it may be worth the $35-40 to you, but be forewarned that this Neo Geo controller isn't quite the fighting game savior you'd want it to be.
