Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the long cord length and the functionality as positive aspects of the Wired Controller for NES Classic Edition, finding it to be a good, affordable option that works well for multiplayer gaming and provides a familiar feel. However, some customers express concerns about the controller's perceived lower quality compared to the original and report experiencing occasional lag or response time issues. The overall experience appears to be a mixed bag, with strong opinions on both sides.

    This controller works just as well as the one that came with the NES Classic. It's got an even longer cord so maybe that makes it even better. Great purchase!

    Good quality controller with plenty of cable length left compared to regular nes classic controller. Highly recommended especially since it's easy on the wallet.

    I didn't like the way the controller felt so I took the guts from this and installed it into an old original NES controller. Highly recommend doing the same. The circuit layout is the same. In 5 minutes you can be playing with the feeling of the original NES controller and a longer cable than the one included in the NES classic set.

    The second controller is necessary if you want 2 players to play the games!

    Nice controller, works great, feels like the original Nintendo controller. Cord is much longer than the one that comes with the actual system which is great.

    Store was out of the Nintendo controllers so I settled for this one. Works fine and you cannot tell the difference, only on the price tag.

    I like that this one actually comes with a longer cord. I'm still not sure what Nintendo was thinking with only putting a 3' cord on the included controller

    I like using this controller more than the original because it has a longer cord and I don't have to sit to close to the TV to play it.

    This is a must have for all Nintendo NES Classic mini owners. Feels just like the original only it has enough length for you to be not too close to the TV.

    I tried to get an official controller but that was as hard as tracking down a nes classic for retail. No complaints and I'm glad it came with a long cord.

    This is just like the original nes but with the long cord so you can sit back on your couch and not have to be close to a big screen tv. Worth every penny.
