Insignia™ - 6' Controller Extension Cable for NES Classic - Black

Cable works as expected and is the advertised length. One thing to note. The base of this cable that plugs into nes has a clear plastic cover as shown in the attached picture. This makes the plug wider than the standard controller and makes it impossible to plug in a second controller. It does have two screws so you can likely take it off with effort. I'm not sure why it's included as it serves no obvious purpose. In my case I only intend to use one controller so it is fine.

This is a must have,makes your controller 8' long! Since the original controller that comes with the NES SYSTEM is only 2' feet long,

Best Buy (insignia) must have had a ton of spare Wii nunchuck connector parts laying around with which they decided to repurpose for these extension cables. Here's why. The clear plastic loop on the connector used originally to fasten the wrist strap to was left on the male end of the extension cord. This is a problem because not only do we not need a wrist strap on the end that plugs into the Classic NES, or anywhere on the extension cable for that matter. But the clear plastic loop actually totally blocks the 2nd player controller female port on the Classic NES console. Terrible design. Essentially, if you only want to play alone, buy this extension cord. And only buy one of these because you will not need a second as it will be rendered useless by the first. Since discovering this, I have realized that many manufacturers on extension cables for this system have made the same grave error. I found one of the Rain Forest retailer's site. Take a look for yourself.

Works perfectly, ignore the reviews about the plastic, you just need a small screwdriver to take it off.

The controllers that come with the system are like WAY too short. This adds the length you need to sit at a comfortable distance from your tv. As for those plastic clips, I removed them. Not even that big of a deal. Now I can plug in two controllers.

This product works great to entend the ridiculously short NES Classic controllers. As others have mentioned, just remove the clear plastic clip if you're trying to use two controllers. The clear clips are made for the Wii U controllers and serve no purpose for the NES Classic. Also, if you're looking for a lot of extra length, you can actually connect multiple extenders together. I tried connecting two of these together and it worked perfect.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a NES Classic. I had heard that the controller cables were short, but I didn't fully realize how short until I unboxed the console. After the first night of nostalgia filled retro gaming my eyes and back were killing me. I knew I needed a solution to actually enjoy my NES Classic going forward. The Insignia 6' extension cable is the perfect solution. The extra length makes playing games much more fun and less physically torturous - ha. The price is pretty cheap but the cable is a good quality. all of the connections are secure and I didn't see any negative impact on the response time of the controller. this is a great solution if you're tired of sitting uncomfortably and blindingly close to your tv while playing the NES Classic.

These extenders work but what the heck is with the plastic clips at the end? They don't seem to serve any purpose and prevent the second player controller from being inserted. Luckily removal is easy and doesn't impact the product.
