controller rec for mister

Easiest recommendation would be the 8bitdo arcade stick. Great battery life, wireless, low lag, and quite decent stock buttons and stick.

Flexstrike Arcade Stick

It's essentially an eight button, first party version of the DOIO Arcade Stick with an optional wireless connection (PS Link is probably the best connection to have over standard BT & universal 2.5ghz receivers from 8Bitdo arcade sticks, Mayflash F700 and third party PS5 controllers). I'm actually s

Fight Sticks/Arcade Sticks

The 8bitdo Arcade Stick (the grey Switch Version with red buttons) works perfect wireless in X-Mode. I really enjoy it on my VS. The X-Box Version of this stick doesn‘t work on Evercade.

Best Controllers for different MiSTer cores

Chuck in the 8bitdo NeoGeo controller. It's a beauty. Also the 8bitdo Arcade Stick is a must buy. I personally can't be bothered with SNAC. You get a tiny tiny bit less lag on old, degraded, and potentially less reliable controllers. I would prefer to use usb cable connections on 8bitdo controllers

Fightpad recommendations

From your list I've tried the retrobit Saturn Controller (wireless) and the 8bitdo arcade stick. 8bitdo Stick is a much higher quality product and the convenience of wireless is great for couch sessions or guest setups. Downside is it's a bit harder to mod yourself but people have done it and there

Arcade Stick for NEO•GEO and Arcade Games

I would say if you’re doing general arcade retro stuff and not trying to be a hyper competitive fighting game champion (where leverless seems to be king anyway) the 8bitdo arcade stick is more than good enough to have fun with, reasonably priced, wireless if you’re into that, and the stick and butto

How’s this for a mini arcade?

Given the small size of this thing (it's ~1 ft wide) it would be better to get some 8bitdo arcade sticks and plug them in via USB or even just use bluetooth.

Which arcade sticks work with the dock? Just the single 8BitDo one?

I have the 8bitdo Arcade stick the one that works with PC and the Switch. It works great with the Analogue Pocket Dock. I can connect no problem via Bluetooth and use the Use dongle 2.4GHz no problem. I have a Hori Stick fro PS4 that works no problem. I have Neo Geo X Stick connects USB no problem.

Smaller fight stick to get?

I seem to say this way to often, but the 8bitdo Arcade stick is not bad and isn't all that large. I'm starting to feel like too much of a fan boy with this thing, but for a cheap $60 on sale stick you can't beat it. The battery lasts, its BT, wired, and 2.4ghz dongle capable, you can easily upgrade
