8BitDo Presents its NEOGEO Wireless Controller
Introducing 8BitDo NEOGEO Wireless Controller. A perfect recreation of the original SNK NEOGEO CD. Featuring the original classic click-style joystick. Compatible with Windows, Android, and NEOGEO mini. Officially licensed by SNK. We spent years of designing, perfecting, and manufacturing the original controller to ensure it feels just like the original. We've also created 4 limited editions in tribute to THE KING OF FIGHTERS '97. Choose among Kyo Kusanagi, Terry Bogard, Iori Yagami, or Mai Shiranui.
New features and compatibility
We added bumpers, Turbo function, and button layout swapping for a more flexible and compatible gaming experience.
Bluetooth. 2.4G. Wired.
Connect wirelessly via bluetooth or 2.4G dongle for seamless gameplay, or plug-and-play through wired USB-C.
Flawless remake of the original click-style joystick
8BitDo redesigned and manufactured the no-longer produced classic click-style joystick. All important details have been captured and remade: the clicky feel, sound, and feeling of the original.
Re-engineered and manufactured from the ground up
We spent years developing and iterating to bring back the original feel and experience of the NEOGEO CD controller.

This looks well made though.

I can't say that I ever played much NeoGeo though. They're putting a lot of emphasis on that stick design and its clickiness, does anyone have experience with it?
I'll say that 8bitdo's replication of the SNES controller was perfect. I played so much SNES growing up that as an adult, its one of the most comfortable controllers in my hands. I can imagine the NeoGeo fans out there will appreciate someone recreating their hardware.
