This is a great controller but isn't without its flaws
This is a great controller but isn't without its flaws. PROS: Feels good in your hands Long cord Buttons are responsive without any noticeable lag on an original NES CONS: There seems to be a weird dead zone issue with the d-pad. If you thumb slightly slides to the left or right while holding down on the d-pad, your character will immediately move in the direction when you didn't intend to. Overall, I do enjoy this controller but it's not totally without its issues. You can probably get used to the quirks in the specs but as an aftermarket controller it feels great.

Good quality NES controller replacement
Works great, similar in size to old school originals. I have it plugged into a NES to USB adapter for my PC, it works great in Retroarch for NES and Gameboy games, buttons are very responsive

Great NES Controller Replacement
Nice replacement controller that feels better than the original due to its slanted corners and round bumps on the back. Do they make a huge difference? No, but for anyone gaming for a long period of time, you will appreciate it. Buttons feel good and the cord is a decent length. My new go to for NES for sure.

Loooong cord.
Awesome controller. I've never had a NES or one of the controllers for it and I'm impressed by this one. I got it for a Pico-56 project. Works great.

Long Cord
Long Cord! Highly recommend. So much better than others I have purchased that had short cords, broke easily, and were just cheap. This one is holding up well.
