Many appreciate the controller's compatibility with various Nintendo systems and its generally positive feel and responsiveness. However, some users experienced issues with connection stability and battery life, while others found the size less than ideal. The short cord length of the original controller was also a frequent point of criticism.

    The quality of the controller is fantastic. I was worried before opening the package that it would feel cheap and light, but it has a nice weight to it and responds wonderfully to inputs. The controller worked well with Wii Virtual console games and the NES classic, worth the price point. It would be 5 stars if included ability to recharge (requires AAA batteries, not included)

    The controller inside the NES classic cable is super short. This is perfect for the NES Classic and the response rate is great.

    A must have to really enjoy the classic Nintendo game console! The controller it originally comes with if not wireless and the cord is very short. Was having to sit very close to the machine. This cordless controller allows me to enjoy this classic to the fullest!

    I was pleasantly surprised that these work as well as the plug-in counterparts. When I first bought the Nintendo I was amazed at how short the original cord was. I bought two of these and they work perfectly well in tandem. Best thing about this is that you can reset the Nintendo from the controller by pressing the start + select buttons simultaneously.

    As great as it is to play these old NES games again, it's difficult to be tethered to the console with a short cable. With this wireless controller, I can sit further back from the TV and have a more enjoyable experience. Highly recommended getting this!

    Now this is wireless and is made for the Nintendo console small reboot. It works great. No more cords, being to close to the TV or wires being damaged. If you purchase the console you gotta get not one but at least 2 of these. They work.

    Easy to set up, hold Start for 3 seconds to sync. Two AAA batteries and small to hold for adult hands. Quicker response and easy buttons to push than the miniboss controller. Would give it 5 stars butt small controller to hold and have to arrange fingers to hold comfortably.

    If you purchased a Classic NES system you know the cord is very small on the controller it comes with. I saw this at Best Buy’s and had to have it. Kids won’t yank the cords and you can play from the couch. Awesome little invention.

    Great alternative controller for your NES classic. Works great and has a similar feel to the controller your NES classic came with only you can sit far from the console and not worry about sitting close the TV due a short cord.

    NES Classic Must Have

    Significantly better than the included remote with the 2' cord. Easy setup just plug and play. Responsiveness is equivalent to the hard wired remote. Must have accessory if you have the NES Classic so you don't have to sit 2' from your TV.

    Absolute must if you have a NES classic. Those cords on the controllers that come with the system are way too short and makes them useless. These controllers have been great and we haven't had the first issue yet with the 3 we bought!

    This is such a great wireless controller. So much better than the controller that comes with the system. Don't have to sit close to the tv anymore. Works great so far. Nothing but good things with this controller. Worth every penny.

    Great price, classic games, and save points what isn’t to love... one control with a very short cord. But they have good wireless controls you can get and it is worth the price for the games that are on it.

    This controller is pretty decent. It works well, easy to connect and allows an easy back to the home screen button. Only trouble is if there is something in between the controller and the receiver it wont work properly.
