Looking on ebay for used Neo Geo CD controllers, they average $60+ and I don't really know their condition until I get them in my hands. On the other hand, brand new Neo Geo Mini controllers are $25 and guaranteed to be fresh. Has anyone tried both and found them to be similar in tactile feel etc?
I don't have any real Neo Geo controllers/sticks, so I can't confirm if this is even a workable idea. But I assume the Neo Geo CD controllers have just switches inside with no logic board/chip. So why can't I get a Neo Geo Mini controller, rip out the guts, and just wire up a DB15 or a cut controller extension cable to the switches and make my own? Any thoughts I this?
