These remotes are a must have for the Nintendo classic. There just a few dollars more than the corded controllers and work great. Our couch sits about 20 feet away from the Nintendo classic and the controllers still work great. I don't notice any lag in game play. Controllers feel solid in your hand and buttons feel solid also. I would highly recommend these controllers.

Bought this controller as an alternative to the stock controller that’s included with the Nintendo Classic. The cord on the original Nintendo controller was too short, and it made playing games on a large TV unbearable. To be honest and given the price of the item, I didn’t have high expectations for this type of controller. I was expecting a noticible lag from the push of a button to the action on screen and for the materials to feel subpar; however, I was pleasantly surprised. There is no noticeable lag and the remote feels exactly the same as the original Nintendo controller in your hands. The remote runs on AAA batteries, which are NOT included, so make sure to purchase some as you pick up this item.

I read a lot of reviews saying it disconnects a lot or has terrible range, but in my experience it's been perfectly fine. I bought it for my 3yo son who loves playing my NES Classic and this controller works very well for him. The buttons and dpad feel fine for a controller at this price and he has no problems holding it in his hands. Personally, I feel it's a bit thicker than it should be, but that's because it uses batteries instead of being rechargeable, but again at this price point I feel that's ok. The Start, Select, and Home button are closer together than I'd like, but they work. The Home button is a nice addition, especially for my son. If you don't want to spend the extra money on the 8BitDo wireless controllers, then you can pick up two of these for the price of one of those. As an adult, I'd prefer the 8BitDo style controller, but this is perfectly acceptable if you're buying them for young kids.
