Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
NeoGeo PAD USB [PS3/PC]
- Thread starter ChryZ
- Start date
guess Play-Asia is the only place to get them?
The reprint has crept up at a few other online stores, but PA is certainly the cheapest.
tempted increasing by the second... and the fact that I can use them with PC/PS3 and OUYA makes it all the more tempting

MUCH CHEAPER yet still quality alternative:

Doesn't have the SNK street cred though. Plus the reviews on that Amazon page don't really inspire any confidence.
Skullgirls should recognize these. It recognizes my PS3 arcade stick, as well as other directinput controllers.

Eh, I don't beat the everliving shit out of my controllers so I've never had any controller fail in my life.

After tossing and turning thinking about whether I should I get it, I finally bit the bullet and gave Playasia my hard-earned monies. Looking forward to trying out Ketsui PS3 with this.
You're lucky. I treat my controllers real good and sometimes they still fail.
Yeah, me too. Especially Fightpads. They just wear out over time, things get less responsive, or directions start to drift. After hundreds and hundreds of hours, something's gotta give.

I thought this thread was for a NeoGAF game controller.
Actually now that I mention it, this needs to happen.

Shit, I also ordered this last week. Any other shops that have stock at a decent price?

Solaris still has them in stock, but at a premium mark-up.

Thanks! That's not too bad, these are out of stock on amazon.co.jp, any chance that play-asia will actually get more?

Looks like you can still order from PA, it'll probably just take longer for you to get them since they're waiting for more stocks to arrive.
I think if they sold out they wouldn't even allow you to buy them at all.

Sir!
This controller is the only thing that a Gamestop worker told me not to buy. "Piece of trash" and "every one has been returned" I believe were his words.

Play-asia is now listing the pad as shipping in 1-2 weeks. And the manufacturer site is listing it as available but with shipping delay due to popularity, so it looks like they will still be available, thank goodness.

The PDP pads are not that bad. I have both a 360 one and PS3. They work well. The problem is that some crap out on you, the dpad to be specific. The same is said about the neo-geo though, dpad as well. At the price point though its not a bad investment. I am getting some neo-geo ones soon so i can do a comparison at that point.
I opened one up today to check it out and to see how it works.
Same tech as the old Neo Geo CD pads but I'm thinking this one might be a little more durable as the actual micro switches seem sturdier.

referral links are against the TOS
I know a guy who buys the PDP pads pretty often to play on. I think he goes through at least two a year. I've seen one straight up stop working, permanently, DURING a match before.

Dang, you can change the name, but you've still got that Pelican QC
nono. i'm not saying using them on GAF. I'm just asking if anyone uses the Play-Asia referral links for their own purchases etc, do the new links (they changed it) still work for you?
I wish all controllers had a micro switched dpad.

I have been lucky so far, but yeah they are problematic. They feel good and are cheap now so it does not hurt the wallet as much. Yeah, its a shame PDP has bad quality control.
I finished the game using a 360 controller's analog stick on PC. It worked just fine for me.

Just got my shipment confirmation from Play-Asia! So glad that they replenished stock.

I doubt it will work out of the box, but since Drive Club is compatible with PS3 wheels maybe it's just a firmware update away.

I think that requires DS3 support, which I don't really see happening since that'd make things kind of confusing for the average Joe. But that's just a guess at any rate, we can always hope.
One week. If you are unlucky, two to three weeks.
Thanks Boss. I'll cross my fingers.
Pelican makes the waterproof heavy duty plastic cases for cameras and firearms etc, I have them mounted on my motorcycle and they stood up to a crash and slide still intact with just cosmetic damage, guess their pads arent nearly as tough.
Pelican out of LA (cases for film, sound, military, etc) is not the same company.

Stupid question - but this controller does work on a US PS3 right? I thought I remember reading some things about some 3rd party controllers not working on PS3s anymore.
I need to get one of these pads for Ketsui, Metal Slug, and some PS1 games. I actually cannot stand the stock Dualshock Dpad.

So I received the Neo Geo pad
Comparison to the PDP is as such:
Dpad- the NG is the clear winner. Clicky Butter. Very smooth movement whereas the PDP has more of a grindy feel to it
Facebuttons- The PDP are looser then the the NG but have a better feel IMO. They have a nice click to them. Played guacamelee and the NG felt a bit slower due to the firmer press. ( Like blue cherries compared to black/green)
Shoulder buttons- this is an either or. The NG is a bit stiffer but they feel good. Smaller footprint as well. The PDP requires a lighter touch and has a larger footprint.
All in all a fine pad. Worth $50+w/shipping ? For me yes, but I am a controller whore and will buy them for novelty sometimes.
I will be ordering another one ASAP
*I own the hori dragon quest pad for example.

Received the pad. It's absolutely fantastic, but I haven't been able to get this to work in RetroArch. Is there anyway to configure this or should I wait until someone at the RetroArch decides to bother?
