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.

    The controller works just fine, but what you really want is a wireless controller. Wires are so last millennium!

    Couldn't find a Nintendo brand controller so I bought the Insignia brand. I wish it had the color scheme as a normal one.

    The player's cord is short. Remember when purchasing this item to purchase the 6' extensions.

    Insignia NES CLASSIC CONTROLLER

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    When I bought a NES CLASSIC, the Nintendo brand controller wasn't available in the store, so I purchased this one. While it may get you through in a pinch, this controller is nowhere near the quality of the Nintendo brand version. The play control responsiveness lags, especially on games that require the pressing of multiple buttons simultaneously.

    Good build quality. The dpad is a little funky so I gave it away to a friend to use as a second controller.

    The controller with the NES is too short. Spend extra money and get the longer cord.
