Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the extended cable length, compatibility with NES and SNES controllers, and the reasonable price of this 2-pack of 6' extension cables. Many appreciate the improved playing distance these cables offer, enabling comfortable gameplay from further away from the console. While some wish for a wireless option, the vast majority report no lag or performance issues. The ease of use is also frequently praised.

    Bad cable

    I was a little concerned while buying these cables from an off brand manufacturer. My fears were realized. One bad cable. Now get to wait 10+ days for replacements. Problem is, these cables were pushed by BB as a package deal (along with a second controller).

    It’s a great thing that some items come cheap, but then again this should not be that item. Gaming can be intense, cords get jerked around and controllers thrown. This extension cord should be sturdier.

    One of the pair caused a slight delay about a week after first using. They both quit working at all after about 4 months.

    I had to return the cables because one of them didn’t work. Construction is what you would expect from the brand but overall once it was exchanged it got the job done.

    I bought this product a few months after I bought my NES because I didn't know there was an extension for it until I was told. I went to buy it and took it home only to find out that one of the cords wasn't working. Its again been a few weeks since I bought it and never had the time to return the product. not happy with it.

    Purchased Two, Both Broke Fast

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I Purchased Two of these, one for each controller and both broke within a month. Controllers do not respond when plugged in with the extension. Tried powering the system off and on. Tried plugging it in with the SNES on and the system freezes. Tried each one on the other controller and nothing. Poor Quality.

    Both extension cords worked fine upon arrival. Within a week one of the two completely stopped working. Now, a month later, the second extension cord works only intermittently, requiring us to unplug and plug back in every 5-10 minutes. Plugging controllers directly into the system itself causes no problems, so it is easy to isolate the extenders as the problem. Disappointed.

    With the wireless remotes these seem pointless but if I were to sit closer to the TV it would be ok

    I bought these along with the NES mini as a Christmas present. When we finally got to Christmas and used them they did not work. No signal would pass from controller to system. Controllers worked if plugged in directly to ayatem. Might have been a defective unit but I was outside of the return window.

    This should be included with the console.

    The standard remote cable is very short so these are a must.

    One cable arrived dead. So much for quality control. It's a good thing I knew that they would fail me, so I bought backups on Amazon of other brands that actually worked

    This item did not work on my NES Classic. I plugged in port controller ports and nothing, no communication. Best Buy has good return policy so that's a plus.

    It's like Nintendo and Insignia shook hands before the release. It's practically mandatory to make this purchase due to how short the cord is that comes with the console. SMH

    Giving this one only because the NES Classic controller should've already came with a long enough cord and not have to spend another $10 or so dollars to extend the length.
