Our take on the NEOGEO AES+ Gamepad
The NEOGEO AES+ Gamepad is a wireless, 1:1 replica of the original NEOGEO CD pad from the 1990s. It keeps the micro-switched thumbstick and four-button layout that made the original a favorite for fighters and shooters, and pairs through a 15-pin dongle that also works with original AES consoles. It suits players who want authentic arcade feel on the new AES+ or a spare pad for a vintage setup. Against modern controllers it trades analog sticks and triggers for arcade-precise digital input, so it is a specialist tool rather than an all-rounder.
- Authentic 1:1 replica of the classic NEOGEO CD pad
- Micro-switched thumbstick gives tactile, deliberate input
- Four-button layout matches arcade fighters and shooters
- Wireless via 15-pin dongle, with backward compatibility for original AES consoles
- Solid, ergonomic shell and premium buttons
- USB-C charging cable included
- No analog sticks or triggers, so it is poor for modern 3D games
- Thumbstick design is unfamiliar to players raised on modern pads
- Wireless range and latency depend on the dongle connection
- Niche appeal outside NEOGEO and retro arcade libraries
