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 for my Nintendo mini, the controller it came with had such a short cord. This is much better and works just as good. Great replacement for the price

    This controller works great and is a cheap cost version. The longer cord is great so that we aren't sitting right on top of the tv.

    Works extremely well. Like the wireless better. But this is great to have when the battery is dead.

    The length is great and controllers work fine. It takes awhile for the buttons to get softer and easier to push but not a bad buy for the price.

    This item was great with the NES Classic, just thought it would be a little cheaper compared to the Nintendo brand controller.
