    I was very excited about these cordless controllers, especially since the one that comes with the NES unit has a ridiculously short cord. However, they can be glitchy. Several times in the middle of a game they have just frozen up and refuse to work. Not constantly, but occasionally, and it's frustrating.

    I was too happy when I seen they restocked the Nintendo classic, and even more excited that they came out with a wireless controller! I bought two so I can use those instead of the controller the system came with. I hated having to be close to the tv to play games. Definitely recommend this

    Great wireless controller for NES Classic

    The NES Classic is a great piece of retro gaming joy. However, my only real complaint is the length of the controller cord. The MyArcade wireless controller solves this problem and still gives you the feel of the classic Nintendo controller. Response is accurate with no lag and at a great price. Highly recommended!

    This thing is worth the money soley for the feature of being able to reset to the main game select screen without having to do it on the console. Aside from that, the controller works flawlessly with zero lag. It is a must if you have one of these mini systems. I have 2!

    Batteries don't seem to last long. The games seem like they freeze up on you within a few days of play and you have to hit the home button again to reconnect. If you want to make sure it doesn't freeze up, use a wired controller.

    This controller works great with the NES classic. Very disappointing that the system comes with wired controllers and even more disappointing that the wires are ridiculously short. The wireless controller is a must have since this is 2019 and we're not still in the 1980s

    save yourself the headache of short cabled controllers that come with the nes classic and purchase these puppies. pro's : long range wireless remotes, long battery life (no rechargeable battery, but no a big deal) cons : none, just buy it already.

    My fiancé got this is part of his gift for his Dad. They both seemed to have fallen in love with it. It's very small so it might be an adjustment for anyone with nornal-sized hands but I thought it was cute. A bit pricey in my opinion but you are basically paying for the brand and the retro-feel

    I use this as my main controller and it seems to work well. You have to repair it every time you turn the system on, but you just hold the start button for 3 seconds so it's not that big of a deal. A friend of mine who purchased two of them said they do tend to get the signals crossed when you use more than one.

    I love that you no longer have to sit on top of the tv to play the games, but the controller drains batteries for quickly! In an hour of play I had already used two sets of batteries. Other than that it is a great controller

    This controller is great! No more fighting with wires! The NES classic paired with this controller is perfect. I would recommend this to anyone! Feels good in your hand and allows you to play Mario Brothers for hours! Ha ha...if you have time for that!

    I bought this wireless control for my NES Classic and it does the job. I really hated the short length of the controller that was included. With this I can lay back in my couch and enjoy the game. The controller has an integrated reset button. Makes using the console much easier.

    Wish i would have purchased this controller right away after i bought my nintendo classic console. Don't waste your money on other controllers or the cord extensions, this controller was great and very responsive unlike other controllers.

    This is better than the corded version that comes with the NES Classic! It is more accurate and allows movement throughout the room. The only thing is you need to make sure you can see the front of the NES or you can lose connection.

    Good working controller. Wireless works lag free. But doesn't give me that original nes feeling. Controller feels cheap and light. Hate that position of start button when playing punch out. But better that the 3 feet wired controller. I get blinded by my 75in samsung.

    Super cool wireless controller for the new NES! Who knows why Nintendo made that short cord to go with this epic NES gaming system?! Don't suffer any longer! Buy 2 of these and you will be loving the NES life! Now time for some Super Mario Bros! BYE!

    If you prefer wireless controllers like the modern game consoles have today, you'll love this one for the NES Classic. Works great. Claims to have a distance of 30 feet but I haven't used it beyond 10 feet but up to that distance it works flawlessly.

    I bought two of these to be able to setup my NES classic in a cabinet about 10 feet from my couch. They work perfect, and eliminate the wires from the controller that is included with the system. I'd recommend these for sure!
