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.

    Great second controller. Great price and a 10-foot cable. So much better than the original with that length.

    We love the long cable. It allows you to sit further back than the one controller they give you.

    It works just like the Nintendo brand controller, except it has a longer cord - which is nice!

    I purchased this when I couldn't find the Nintendo controller. On the plus side, Insignia included a cable of usable length, better than Nintendo's 2.5' cable. On the downside though, the buttons aren't as sensitive and they don't have the same satisfying "click" of the Nintendo, instead it sounds cheaper.

    It's not made by nintendo but it still does the job since the console only gives you 1 controller.

    Bought this so we could have 2 controllers for classic NES console to play games like Tecmo Bowl. Of course the console should come with two but that is a different issue. This one works just fine but get the extension cord too unless you like sitting really close to TV
