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 perfectly, was reasonably priced, and the extra-long cord is a nice feature.

    It works. Side note: Don't know why I'm paid so much for a rehash of an antiquated 8 bit system. Heh.

    This cord is long enough to be comfortable. I bought to replace the one that came with the unit.

    Since the classic only comes with one controller, a second one is needed to play two player games. Don’t know why I got a request to review this. I bought an original controller. This one might be better because it has a longer cable.

    I don't remember these being so small. My adult hands kinda dwarf this controller and obviously isn't as comfortable as the more modern controllers. Of course i had to get one though. What good is playing these games alone? An experience that is meant to be shared.

    Since we got the NES Classic in November the NES brand controllers have been out of stock. The game system is tons of fun but way better with two players. This controller gets the job done and works great. Occassionally it won't register a jump, but frankly we used to have those problems with the old controllers too.

    This controller is the perfect length and actually longer than the controller included with the Classic NES.
