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.

    This is a good replacement controller for this system. Hooks up just fine and works as intended with no issues.

    Nice generic pad, it's not 100% as good as the original but for a generic I'd give it a thumbs up.

    This add on controller works just as good as the included controller. I still may go back and get the wireless ones.

    Bought this controller as an extra for the console because the console only came with 1 short one. Love this one because it adds so much length so you don't have to sit right in front of your tv.

    This works great and extends the cord a lot but there is also a wireless version which I didn't know when I got this..so I exchanged it for the wireless one. Good price on both.

    I like it better than the controller that came with the NES. It’s lighter, seems you don’t get the “Nintendo thumb” as quick! Cord is longer so you don’t need an extender.

    It feels almost the same as the original with a longer cable built in to the controller so no unnecessary extension cords like the original.

    I highly recommend getting two of these to replace the NES classic controller it comes with. That bnb one is too short. This has 10 foot cord. Great for sitting at distance.

    The controller is perfect, the cord is longer than the nes version which is perfect and you get the same game play from it as well, it’s like having 2 nes controllers

    The controller that comes with the system is about 6’ long. Too short! This one has about a 12’ cord and at least you can sit farther back from the screen and play.

    A nice long cord makes these a must have for the NES classic. The stock controller that comes with it is much too short to be able to sit more than a couple feet from the tv or monitor.

    I previously ordered this product and love the price. It also has a longer cord than the one that comes with the console, therefore, I don't have to sit close to the television.

    Looks and feels just like the original NES controller, but has a longer wire which is great. Haven't had any problems with it, and I currently use it over the original NES controller.
