Todd from Retro Frog has just opened pre-orders on a Neo Geo controller he’s calling the LS-4. It comes with a metal mounting plate, Seimitsu LS-56 lever, Seimitsu PS-14-D 24mm buttons and a 15-foot Neo Geo (and Supergun) controller cable. It weighs about two and a half pounds and the base is about 10 inches wide, 8 1/4 inches tall and 2.5 inches thick, making it “compact”, but probably not too small for most people. The price is $150 and it’s due to ship in July:

As this is a direct-wired Neo Geo controller, the lag is zero. Not “near zero”, literally zero…which is why all of my fight sticks have a Neo Geo port on them as well. You can pick up Neo Geo USB adapters if you’d like to use this on a MiSTer or Raspberry Pi, but this was really designed with Neo Geo AES and MVS users in mind. The buttons and build quality appear to be very good, so check out the product page for more info and see if this one’s for you!
