I got this in a bundle of Neo items I bought off of eBay a few months back. Cosmetically, it looks great and works fine. The logos are intact (the rubber feet appear to be missing however). The joystick is nice, clicky and responds well. Select and Start work great, as do A, B and C.
There is a problem, however, with the D button. It just doesn't work. I opened the stick to see what the problem is and it looks to me like someone desoldered (and put pack in a rather half-assed manner) the black contact switch mechanism that's normally soldered to the PCB for all the action buttons. The mechanism does appear to be complete, it's just not soldered to the PCB. I don't see any cut wires, so it should be a relatively easy fix or a decent stick if you don't need a functioning D button. I'd rate the shell to be an "excellent" according to the Neostore cond guide...would make a nice replacement for a stick you already own in lesser shape.
I'm not in the mood to troubleshoot and fix this, so I'm going to put it up for sale for $35 shipped in the USA.
