Key points

The NeGcon production team based its design off various steering wheel controllers.[1]
The controller was intended for use in racing games, including Ridge Racer, Gran Turismo and Wipeout. The NeGcon was created to replicate the analog-stick movement used in the arcade game Cyber Sled (1993); the name comes from the Japanese word "nejiru", meaning "to twist".[1]
The twisting swivel-joint can be used to emulate analogue triggers or left/right stick.
The I and II buttons are analogue and have approximately 7mm of travel. The L shoulder button is also analogue and has approximately 5mm of travel.
Lacks standard layout L2, R2 or sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ buttons.
Requires adapter to connect to PC.
Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see Windows) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.

Support in games

Games with generic DirectInput support are supported by the controller, however, button placements may be out of place and need to be rebound. Refer to game-specific articles for rebinding support.

Games with pressure sensitive face buttons support

For a list of games, see List of games that support Pressure-Sensitive Face Buttons.

Pressure-sensitive face buttons are not recognized by PC games yet.
Emulators like PCSX2, RPCS3 and Cxbx-Reloaded do not recognize pressure-sensitive face buttons from NeGcon yet. Controller will require DualShock 3 emulation to be recognized.
See GiantBomb's List - Games where pressure sensitive buttons play an important part.
