Q: Is this compatible with wii motes on the wii and wii-u? The first party controller is; so I'm assuming yes?

A: Hello! This item will definitely work with remotes for the Wii and Wii U. Regards, Daniel T. - Insignia Support

Q: How long is cord?

A: The cord is short. I would recommend getting the extension.

Q: How close is this to the original controllers that come with the unit in terms of feel/response? 3rd Party Controllers are often hit or miss, and often because it feels so different. Thank you!

A: It's spot on. Out of all the aftermarket ones, this feels closest to the OE. It's not ugly either!

Works almost as well as the official one
Its a controller for a NES classic. It looks reasonably like the one that comes with the unit, but with black buttons. The cord is longer than the stupidly short one Nintendo decided was a good idea. I'm convinced that this is just a hair less responsive than the official controller, even with the extension. Not a huge difference, just a tiny bit.

The remote that Nintendo should have made
I got this as a secondary controller for those times of old school PvP fun. I admit, I didn't really use it, staying with the Nintendo offered one. I had bought an extension cord for it and all was okay. For a review I decided to try this Player 2 controller. Simply, there's no difference between the two Granted, the greatest reason to buy this is the extra length of the cable. It alone is the reason to get it. I had heard there was lag when using this third party controllers. I didn't notice any on the games that I played using it. Even the way it's modeled to look like Nintendo's is a great feature (though one can say it's too close of a clone and be turned off). While the extended cable is the reason to get it the deal is sweetened by THIS MODEL BEING IN STOCK AND CHEAPER!!! Truly, don't even try and find a Nintendo branded second controller, Insignia nailed it with this peripheral.

Surprisingly decent
With extra nes classic controllers tough to come by I thought I'd try this out and was surprised to find it quite serviceable especially as a second controller. The feel and weight are close to the original and button spacing is right on. They are raised just a touch more but not enough to really effect you. I would also note that the plastic feels a little different as well. One nice thing is that it comes with a 10 ft cable. It's not as good as the original but it's close enough and if it's not your main controller it can fill in nicely. Recommend.
