UNICO MVS Mini Gamepad Red, SNK Classic Wired Game Controller for SNK Mini and NEOGEO Arcade Stick Pro

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.

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.
