Stone Age Gamer received stock of Humble Bazooka’s Neo Geo bluetooth adapter, which is compatible with all original AES, MVS and NGCD consoles, as well as some superguns with similar inputs. This is based off Darthcloud’s open source Blueretro platform, that offers some of the lowest bluetooth latency ever recorded when used with a fast controller. The price is about $40 plus shipping and it’s available in black and red. More info after the links:

As a note, Stone Age Gamer is having a 4th of July sale, so use coupon code “Stars” at checkout for a discount. They’re also doing double prize tickets, from July 3rd to July 6th, so check that out if you’re interested.
Also, if you’re looking for something that can take advantage of this adapter, but still feels “official”, check out 8BitDo’s NGCD-style controller. It’s less than 10ms of lag in bluetooth mode and should make a good pairing to people who’d prefer a controller over an arcade stick for Neo Geo games. Beast also thought it was pretty good, so check out that podcast below if you’re interested in hearing him discuss it, or just search any podcast app for “RetroRGB Beast1x5”.
If you decide to buy one, Humble Bazooka has instructions on their website showing how to pair it to the Neo BT – It’s easy, but not intuitive, so this mini-guide is perfect:
