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.

    It no longer works in any capacity. Very light use for a few weeks, as we primarily play 1 play with the NES version of the controller. Try to find the NES version before buying this, and expect that you will have to buy it multiple times after if inevitably fails.

    Buttons feel easy to push down. Nothing like NES original controller.

    Only advantage is the long cord. Playing Super Mario Bros. I found it difficult to slide under things to break bricks. Controller is too small causing callouses on fingers and hands. Don’t waste your money!! Go wireless!

    Bought these because the mini comes with only 1 controller. Trash is all I have to say. Took them back the next day and the CSR guy already knew about how trash these were.

    Bought this as part of Christmas gifts for my Niece and Nephew. Worked great for about a month now it shorts out all of the time. Beware of this issue before buying because it seems to go bad just after the return period is over.

    The controller works well with the system other than thever control pad doesn't always follow the directions you are pushing. Sometimes when you pushing up it goes to the left or right.
