Customers value the wireless functionality, ease of use, and range of this GamePad Classic Wireless Controller. 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.

    I tried multiple batteries but still the controller would not pair with the NES Classic. Otherwise it has good quality for its price point. I'd rather pay extra for a controller that works and is rechargable.

    I got these on a deal of the day. For $10 each I believe. Worth $10. Not much more than that. They are not very responsive, the further you move from the receiver, the worse the response time gets. The buttons and such are good though.

    I bought this wireless controller and wasn’t very happy with it. The reason was that it would lose connection while playing games. Wouldn’t recommend. I had to return it.

    Wanted to get the nes classic to use this with. Best Buy ran out and said they stopped making them. I bought a generic nes classic and this controller doesn’t work with it.

    I like the fact the controller is wireless, however it randomly turns off during gameplay and changes the controls from 1P to 2P or vise versa.

    Wireless capability limited, needs a clear view of the dongle to function properly. This is OK as a back up controller, but the Nyko Miniboss has been the best so far.

    Loses connection constantly to the point where it's basically worthless, you would get a better experiences with IR wireless controllers from then NES era than with is. Wireless controllers shouldn't be this bad in today's world. Spend the money and buy an 8bitdo controller

    I purchased in the store and it doesn't look like this one. Only two buttons and no shoulders. Works fine. The reset feature is great.

    I was told that the wireless controllers were Wii U compatible, but I thought that it meant as a stand alone controller. It was only after I opened the box that I realized they needed to be plugged into a wiimote, which kind of defeats the purpose. They are cute, though, and I could see a circumstance where they might be desired as they are.
