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.

    Now have matching pair of controllers for the NES Classic Edition game counsel. Works great and easy to use, as it is made after the original controllers.

    I think this is better than original, buttons have better touch and cord is longer.

    Works and feels as good as factory controller with a longer cord. Great solution for the NES classic OEM controller that has that rediculously short cord.

    Stock controller with the NES Classic is much too short. This solves that issue with the same functionality of the stock controller.

    It’s actually much better than the remote it comes with because of the length of the cord. You don’t need to be right in front of the tv.

    There's not a lot to say. The controller is the right size, works well and the cable is long enough to not have to stand at the NES.

    This is an absolute critical accessory. 1) you need another for 2 player games and 2) it’s 10ft as compared to the 3ft it comes with

    Sticky Keys

    I purchased this controller to go with my brand new Nintendo Classic system (as it only comes with one controller). The feel of the controller is almost exactly like the factory original. However, after using it for a bit, I noticed that the buttons were not as responsive and were a bit sticky. Sometimes, you have to press the buttons down firmly and hold it for it to register anything. I ended up just keeping it instead of returning it as the customer service lines at my local Best Buy are normally long with an extended wait for poor service (employees usually on their cell phones and not acknowledging customers). Plus, had I returned it, I would have lost my certificate value from my Best Buy Credit Card that I paid for part of it with. I found another one open-box for $4.99 later on and purchased that one with no problems. The first one was probably just manufactured poorly.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Typical 3rd party controller.

    Just like any third party controller, it doesn't feel as good as the original nintendo released ccontroller. The D pad and buttons are a bit stiff. Thumb doesn't roll across the D-Pad as nicely. Since nintendo didn't make extra controllers to go with the consoles, this controller will do. Makes a great guest controller.

    Cheap accessory for NES Classic Edition

    If you need an extra controller for the NES Classic this will do. Doesn't have the best button feel and it seems like it doesn't work as fast as the official controller but if you have younger kids playing with your system these might be better cause if they crap out it's only $10 to replace.

    10 ft cord already makes it instantly better than the original (original only has a 3ft cord) and very comfortable for game play, enjoy!

    So far, I have had no problems with this controller. An added bonus is that the cord is much longer than the controller that comes with the NES mini.

    This controller is much longer than the one that is included and is our go-to controller for the console. A no brainer if you ask me!
