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.

    Pretty good pick up for the price. Has the original NES feel. Button press is little stiff though.

    Spend the $13 and buy this. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't just make their controller cable longer. Their cable is only 3 feet long. Are you kidding me???

    Works great only wish it looked like the original. That’s why it didn’t get 5 stars

    Def need to buy if purchasing the Nintendo nes system and expect to play 2 player games. While it’s insignia it makes no difference and adapts great!

    This is just as before. It's a great working control stick. A perfect fit for all sized hands. It is nostalgia and today all wrapped together.

    This controller works great, just like the original one that comes with the ness mini. And the best thing, it is cheaper than the original.

    This NES mini controller works well, I however have one small complaint. The directional pad is a bit more stiff than I like. It causes me to make small mistakes sometimes because I have to be more firm with my movements. Everything else about it is an almost perfect copy of an official controller. Overall a good purchase!

    This wired controller looks and works just as good as the original controller that comes with the NES Classic Edition. No complaints and price can't be beat.
