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.

    Frustrating

    The long cord is nice but unfortunately the directional pad makes it very difficult to use. Mainly when trying to go up you'll suddenly go left or right and just jump off whatever you're trying up climb or move toward. Very frustrating, I'd seek an alternate controller...

    D-Pad is not useable

    The unit that I received had a sticking d-pad. if you push it down in the center you can hear the suction as it slowly raises back up. The d-pad has sharp corners and would not be comfortable for long periods of play.

    Avoid third party controllers

    Avoid third party controllers. They usually break and are of inferior quality to first party controllers.

    Yes, it's an overpriced knock off

    Ordered one of these since the Nintendo controllers were sold out. This one sucks. The direction pad works sometimes. I will be returning this one and will purchase and actual Nintendo controller when they become available.

    Don't waste your money

    This controller is junk. The buttons aren't nearly as responsive as the controller that comes with the NES Classic. Plus, the D-Pad is off. If I hold the Right button too hard, it thinks I'm holding the UP button!

    Stay away from open box products

    I purchased an "Open box excellent" controller on Bestbuy.com for $9.99. It is defective and doesn't work at all. Now they are out of stock.

    I got to use this controller for about a half an hour before it completely stopped working.
