Just wondering as i got one in the box......
How does it compare to the original?
The ngx stick is total garbage. I bought a pair at release hoping to be able to convert them into standard issue aes sticks but it was a complete bust.
For one they aren't 1:1 like Tommo said they were. Basically think of it as a bootleg Chinese version of the beautifully made Japanese AES old style stick. If it was 1:1 we could at least scrap them for the casing.
They're both shit, but the original is slightly less shitty. For casual gaming it's fine.When I posted this question some people said it felt almost exactly like the original stick even though I mentioned it seemed light and cheap. Now all of a sudden its a POS (not saying it isn't, just saying people defended it recently).
That sums my thoughts up nicely. It's a perfectly serviceable usb stick if you can find one cheap. I've certainly used worse, like pretty much any pre-sf4 console stick released in the us.Meh, I use them from time to time on my computer to play emulators. They are completely useable, but a huge letdown from what they were advertised as.
or you could just straight wire the buttons/sticks to DB15 (as long as they are common ground)... no de/encoding necessary.I'm trying to make some of my arcade USB sticks to run on a Neo. There used to be an adapter by undamned which deserialized the USB into db15. People have also made projects with a Raspberry Pi but I'm sure there's a lighter option. The Arduinos could be an interesting approach...
