Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the positive aspects of the NES Classic Edition controller, including its faithful recreation of the original design and feel, excellent compatibility with the system, and high-quality construction. Many appreciate its functionality for multiplayer gaming, making it ideal for two-player experiences. However, a common complaint centers around the short cord length. A few users also noted occasional lag, and some perceived the controller as slightly smaller than the original.

    Just as well made as the originals! You’ll need a cable extension for normal use.

    Goes perfect with the NESC, but the cord is a bit short. Nonetheless, it works perfectly!

    Same as what we all used back in the 80's but the 2ft cord makes it less desirable. You'll need an extension cord which adds another $5-10 to the cost.
