 The only thing

I don't like about them is their small vertical foot print.
There is no place to rest the palms of your hands. It's very narrow.
That and you can't make new faceplates for them. Most likely I will
eventually purchase one or two of them.

The HRAP V3 SA has a larger footprint.  Also, you make new faceplates
for the Hori sticks using a clear plexi cover available from here;http://www.tek-innovations.com/arthobbies/?loc=products

Btw, I picked-up one of these;http://exar.jp/product/ex0032/ex0032.html
Absolutely fantastic and highly recommend.

That Hori pad looks sweet!
That I did not know about.
I might have to look into picking one up. Thanks for the info on it.
Oh btw, have you notice any delay with it at all while using one?

The NeoGeo Pad isn't made by Hori

But to answer your question:
Absolutely no delay,  it's actually a mini-joystick with micro-
switches.

Here's a video review of the older, four-button version. Guy pulls it
apart.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW5mjSaKNBQ

There's a review of the current version below;

The only place  selling it at the moment that ships to the States is
Play-Asia and you will need to back order ithttp://www.play-asia.com/NeoGeo_Pad_USB/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-3xf7.html

Review
First thing I noticed is it's actually licensed by Sony!

The NeoGeo Pad USB has a very similar form factor to Sega Saturn pads,
if not slightly smaller.
Curiously the mold of the pad is actually asymmetrical, as you might
be able to see in the pictures. The right side of the pad basically
tapers off in width, but I honestly did not notice this until after my
little play test.

"So how does it perform?"

Face buttons are excellent. They're flat - not too convex, and very
responsive. They're not as large as the ones on my Hori Fighting
Commander 3, but they're significantly more useful in terms of size
and shape when compared to my Saturn controller. Shoulder buttons have
some resistance and feel nearly identical to the Saturn controller's
shoulders.

As I've heard it described to be before, the D-Pad is basically a
joystick for your thumb. It may take a while to acclimate yourself to
the new input method, but motions eventually became very natural to
me.

Some slightly more technical crap:
I sat down for a a short while in training modes for BlazBlue
Continuum Shift and Super Street Fighter IV to test it. I have
previously only played these games with arcade sticks.

In BBCS, the character I spent most of my time with is Hazama, and
after a minute or two was able to pull off his simple elevator combo
[5B> 3C> 214D~C > 5C> 2C> 4D~D > j.Cx5 > (JC) > j.Cx5 > 214B] just as
easily as I could on a stick. As expected, thanks to BBCS's lenient 5-
frame input buffer window, Linking 2A off Hazama's overhead was easy
as well.

For my training mode session in SSFIV, I started out with a couple of
my familiar characters' bread and butter combos that contained one-
frame-links. After a few tries I was able to consistently land a Ken
hit confirm to EX Tatsu [cr.LP, cr.LP, cr.HP xx EX Tatsumaki]. On the
other hand, it took several tries before I finally landed Abel's
stepkick combo [f.MK xx dash, cl.HP xx CoD]. The hardest part was
timing the dash correctly with the new control method. Basically,
dashing was a problem for me. I decided to up the ante and throw in
some FADC combos for more mid-combo dash practice so eventually I was
landing Ken's cr.LP, cr.LP xx HP Shoryu FADC Shinryuken with some
consistent success on the new pad.
Sorry I didn't play any charge or 360/720 grappler characters for my
little test session :(

Overall, I highly recommend the NeoGeo Pad USB. I am tempted to buy
another in the event this one were to ever break. It's quickly
becoming my favorite pad, and might even turn this stick fan into a
pad warrior :D .- Hide quoted text -

Typo calling it a Hori and it's YOUR FAULT!
Bringing up the viewlix had Hori on my mind ever since. If I really
enjoying MvsC3 I might take the leap and get one.
I found a place that had the Neo Geo USB for a flat $40 so I ordered
one.

Nice. You won't be disappointed.

Where did you buy it from? I may pick-up a second.
