So, did you end up buying the controller again? You like it or what?The NeoBT's are in stock now at Stone Age Gamer.
I had wanted to bump my order down from 2 to 1 originally, but Amazon wouldn't let me. Perhaps too close to release. So I canceled instead and took my time before re-ordering. Yeah, I got one, and with tempered expectations it's fine. The main thing is I don't really need another USB/BT controller. I'm more interested in a long-term replacement for the fragile original Neo pads.So, did you end up buying the controller again? You like it or what?
I feel bad that you cancelled the preorder because of my post lol
Wow. They sold out pretty quick. Maybe next time.The NeoBT's are in stock now at Stone Age Gamer.
I was headed in the same direction.I was watching part of this, and all I could think about during the sections about wireless controllers was how much money they could've saved sticking with the stock wired controllers included with the systems. This is one of the costs of having a ridiculous gaming setup with expensive scart switchers and capture devices. Lucky for these guys they probably get so many accessories sent to them for free.
Finding the most authentic wireless controller and corresponding bluetooth adapter for each of my consoles seems like another gooby new obsession that I simply DO NOT need in my life. I just got the Neo BT adapter out of curiosity and I'm going to stop there.
The issue here is authenticity. That's a huge waste of time, 8bitgoob is an easy buy (I love their black transparent snes controller) but you can just buy the receiver for each system and use any old reliable bt controller for all of them. Problem solved!I was watching part of this, and all I could think about during the sections about wireless controllers was how much money they could've saved sticking with the stock wired controllers included with the systems.

So you're buying $50 receivers for each of your systems? Count me out.The issue here is authenticity.

I guess some people want to trade their childhood RF or composite signal for RGB or HDMI, while others prioritize ditching the controller wires. For me personally, I love the cables I grew up with, and enjoy taking this stuff out and using it. I'm content with extension cables. But for others it's worth upgrading.You're probably right, but sometimes I hook up my consoles to my Retrotink 2x on my living room LCD and fuck those controller wires when they get in the way or make you have to drag the console as close as you can to the couch.
LOL smokey if you think europeans are getting shafted you should be glad you don't know what's going on over here for products over $50... BTW that's the official 8BitDo store and not some random guy selling them, the service is pretty good all things considered. That's where I bought my NGCD pad on preorder that came before launch date.aliexpress
<wtf why do we europeans always get shafted
I bought mine there too but it will take longer to get to Europe. Is it normal for a package in the USA to have so many stops before it reaches a plane, it doesn't look very efficientI bought them from Stoneage, got them in two days
That's the million dollar question on these pads, and only time with tell. I generally agree with @Burning Fight!! they are probably going to have less problems than the originals. For the moment at least, these pads are much easier to source than working originals. I might stock up -- Maybe Amazon will have a sale.My only concern with this pad is will the D-Pad eventually shit itself from solid use? The original pads were notorious for breaking down over time.
