Affordable.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Considering how rare the first party controllers are to find and how pricy they became online, this is one affordable controller. Addition, it has a long wire originally, you don't have to worry about buying an extension cord.

Extra Controller (longer cord)
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A must need for the Retro Mini Classic Nintendo. Controllers that come with it just arent quite long enough. Since this purchase we play this more than the Xbox One

Feels like the original
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller is a great addition for any NES Classic, Wii, or Wii U owner. Feels very close to the NES controllers that I grew up with. I bought two. One has a stiffer d-pad than the other, but both function well.

Great product!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product!! The cord on the NES Classic branded controllers are so short, and are basically impossible to find. These do the job.

After all this time, I finally got one of these.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even if it is for nostalgic reasons only, I am so happy to finally have one. Although we all wish it had more games, it is still awesome. It is so much fun to see how hard some of these games were.

Works as expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not thrilled with these controllers, they seem a little less accurate than the OEM nintendo controllers. I would say some of the negative complaints are blown out of proportion, as from my usage it's the DPAD accuracy that I'm a little weary about. Maybe I just need more time to get use to them or maybe I've gotten older and I just suck at mario now! But for the price, can't complain too much.

Above Average Quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since you can't find accessories or the actual NES Classic itself this is a good buy. Quality is okay for being Insignia brand.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Cord length
Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The NES classic only comes with one remote. This one doesn't feel as nice as the one in the box but works well.

Excellent 3rd Party Controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes...it's not an official Nintendo Classic edition controller...but unless you want to pay scalper prices for one still (What's taking so long, Nintendo? It's almost March!!!) this is a good alternative.
