UNICO MVS Mini Gamepad Red, Classic Wired Game Controller for MVS Mini

Works perfect with my neo geo mini. Good weight solid controller.

It,s very good

This is better than the NeoGeo Cd controller

Feels great in hand! Super comfy remake of the original Neo Geo controller, small issue in the ABCD layout being slightly different than the original but it matches the Mini layout. I am using this on PC, even though it says only works on the mini arcade. Love they retained the nub to indicate Up on the stick, really great action and loving it for schmups. I suspect it’ll also work for Switch/PS with a Brooks adapter but direct to Switch it doesn’t register. The angled USB C is a nice touch as well, more electronics should do this. This is one of my favorite controllers, can’t wait to play some Shock Troopers! 4 stars, really good but not perfect.

This controller is made for the Neo Geo mini and it works exactly as the one made originally for it. The only difference being the color and the branding, this one say UNICO, while the other one does not. So, it feels and plays great, though it does not have clicking on the sticks.

This gamepad is compatible with the SNK / NEOGEO mini handheld game system. It’s USB-C based, so you might have luck using it with other devices as well. It comes with a super long cord which allows me to keep my console by the TV. I have the previous version of this controller made for the NEOGEO mini, so I compared them side-by-side. Other than copyright info they feel and look identical. If you never played with this controller before it has rounded edges and feels comfortable in the hand. The buttons are large with a soft action. There’s a select and start button and an unusual style D-Pad. The D-Pad might resemble the NES Max controller, but it behaves much different. The thumb pad operates similar to an analog stick with full 360 degree movement and self centering. Great for fighting games, but I find it a little tricky for side scrollers like Metal Slug to get the diagonals correct. It’s still an all digital controller with no other buttons or functions on the pad. Some people love it, some hate it. It’s very similar to the original NEO GEO CD controller, except this controller has no microswitches. Overall it has a nice feel and was pulling off moves in Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting and King of the Monsters very easily.

I ordered this controller to use with my SNK MVS Mini arcade. I love the mini arcade, but I do not like its controller, especially the arcade stick. I also prefer to use the mini arcade connected to the TV. The SNK classic wired controller enables me to play the games the way I want. The controller is easy to use, plug it into the system and you are ready to go. The cable is 6.6ft which is long enough to fit my needs. The analog stick works well, it is nice and tight and easy to use, without any noticeable dead zones. In my opinion the analog stick on this controller is great for fighting games and it is much better than the one provided on the mini arcade. The buttons are fast and firm. The controller is rounded so it fits and feels good in your hands. If you have a NEOGEO mini arcade you should add this controller for a better gaming experience.

This red Neo Geo gamepad looks and feels just like the one that comes with the Neo Geo Mini arcade machine. The button layout is exactly the same as the one that comes with the Mini. I plugged it into the Neo Geo mini and it worked as expected. The controller is described as only working with the mini. However, I was curious if it worked on PC and used a USB-C adapter to attach it to my computer. It shows up as a USB controller, however, Steam Input and PC games do not recognize it. I tried it with the Steam Deck and it did not work there either. I also tried it with the Brook USB adapter. This was also unable to translate the controller to PC. But it does work as intended on the Neo Geo Mini and feels fantastic. It does exactly what it purports to be able to do.
