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.

    For most games it’s fine, but for very precise movements (I.e. ducking in Contra), this controller does not work as well. It can be frustrating.

    This controller works for the first few weeks, a month at best. The buttons start squeaking from normal use, and eventually works when it feels like it. When pushing the A button to jump, you are lucky to jump at all, it works when it wants to. I read all the reviews about this before I bought it, and thought I was getting a good product. Ha. Not. Don't bother. Waste of money.

    Seemingly not as responsive as the original controller. Found myself pressing button to jump but nothing happening. Ok overall though.

    So far this controller has been okay. It has a nice reach but seemed to be a bit glitchy with some of the games on the NES Classic.

    The Nintendo classic controller (the really really short one that comes with it) works great. Then I used these Insignia controllers and the controls felt sloppy for game play. Not very accurate. Can't play tecmo bowl if you can't even control your player decently. Returning these today and going with Cable extensions for the OEM short-cable controller since that controller works excellently.

    D-Pad does not work properly

    It has nice long cord; however, it's pretty much useless if the d-pad does not work. I am not sure how this product can get more than 3 stars. Are there really that many games out there not needing the use of D-pad? I read a couple of reviews stating this but thought it may just be one or two defected unit until I got it myself.
