However, some users experienced issues with lag and compatibility, particularly with certain games. The extended cord length was also a positive feature for many.

    Well built joystick for the NES classic system. A must for the 80s Nintendo gamer.

    The joystick is a bit of a hassle to use (NES Classic) The response time is a bit off and it makes it difficult to use. You can get by with it but you need to get used to it especially on Pacman for the NES Classic.

    I had an original controller like this for my old school NES and it was of much higher quality than this one. The joy stick is terribly noisy when playing and it feels kind of flimsy. Fun for my daughter to play with but I prefer the regular controller

    It's OK not what I expected. It sticks a lot. I was hoping to get the real arcade effect for my small child that loves to play pac man

    This joystick is NOT a replacement to the NES Advantage. It is very cheaply made, it is noisy both from the buttons AND the joystick, and is not very precise in any input. I still have my NES Advantage and it works FAR better than this one. Only Nintendo could mess up something as simple as a cord length to make this a viable option.
