Just sold my Neo Geo X, it's a great little system, very, very retro. There are issues with it - screen could be better, bit too 'clicky' on the directional pad on the portable console for my liking - but still great. Joystick is one of the best parts of the whole package.
Only sold it because I got a Gpd XD, which does the job much better, for me.

These will end up going up in price sooner or later. Offload them in a few years and you'll make a profit.

Hmm wonder if there is room inside for my raspberry pi? Would make a great all in one arcade machine

havent you read the review on gameseek.?
its hilarious..
Not bad replica - I’d been after a joystick for retro gaming for a while, and with the release of the Neo Geo X I thought that the joystick would be great for playing arcade titles on my PC (and eventually a Raspberry Pi). I’m a particularly big fan of the Neo Geo, I had one back in the day (well, 20 years ago when they were considered retro) but sadly lost it during a messy divorce (tip for you kids, hide your retro stuff if you get divorced!). The packaging was just as I remembered the SNK packaging for the Neo Geo accessories, and opening it up I was excited to see that it’s a very close replica to the original. While it’s not exactly the same as the original Neo Geo joystick, it’s pretty close. It’s detected by Windows 8.1 as a joystick, although Mame does need a bit of reconfiguring to work properly, and for some strange reason the C and D buttons are swapped round on the joystick buttons (A = 1, B = 2, C = 4 and D = 3). To be fair, for the money you can’t go wrong. Compared to some of the arcade stick prices out there this one was a bargain for retro gaming, heck, it’s probably even possible to fit a Raspberry Pi inside (I’ll try this when I pick up another one of these sticks sometime). So if you’re a retro gamer and love the Neo Geo and want a bit of nostalgia then it’s well worth a purchase :-)

Yes even the Canoo is a neat little system. Ive settled with a Nvidia Shield portable. Great device, a shame they stop selling them. Streams my PC games and also a lot of emulators. THeres also a Nvidia game service - a couple dozen games for £7 a month

Can also be used with PC or PS3.
Perfect companion to the recent Neo Geo Humble bundle also listed on the site. A Neo geo collection for about £30? Madness!
