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.

    Bought this to allow for two player gaming on my nes classic. Not as good as the original controller that came with the console but it does get the job done. My only complaint is the D pad is a bit finicky at times. Otherwise, a decent product overall.
