Review: Great wireless NES controller - This is a really good controller that works with no problems and through objects from a good 20 feet tested. It also works in the Old Skool consoles. Has a nice light weight feel in your hands and fits perfectly in your pocket for those quick emergencies. I don't believe there is a downfall to this controller that I've seen. Works perfectly with every button. Plugged it in and it syncs quickly. After it's Synced : (To Wake Up Controller while Game is On) Press Arrow Pad to wake up controller when light is off because of not using it for a while. (Turn controller on) Press the Arrow Pad to turn on remote after turning game on. Note: (Press Arrow Pad in any direction for both)
Review: Great controller if you can get one - Very responsive wireless controller with the original controller type connection. The rechargeable battery is a great upgrade. I love this controller and highly recommended it. The biggest problem is finding it in-stock. I have wanted a second one for months, these are tough to find.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great controller if you can get one
*by A***R on September 24, 2024*

Very responsive wireless controller with the original controller type connection. The rechargeable battery is a great upgrade. I love this controller and highly recommended it. The biggest problem is finding it in-stock. I have wanted a second one for months, these are tough to find.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pairing could be better
*by S***O on January 17, 2023*

I own several classic gaming clone consoles ranging from cheap to expensive. Sometimes I like to bring one of my cheaper consoles over to a friend's house to play some games. I don't feel comfortable bringing my nicer 8bitdo controllers. I decided to buy these controllers. As far as controllers go, they work and feel great. The only thing I don't like about these is the pairing. They seem to take a lot longer than they should to pair. The pairing buttons are tiny and you need to use your fingernails in order to push the buttons on the controller and receiver. Trying to pair 2 controllers is a bit tricky at times. I guess I've become so spoiled with 2.4 ghz wireless controllers that I find pairing Bluetooth controllers too time consuming. Other than that, I can't complain. They're very responsive. They feel well made. The buttons and d-pad feel as good (to me) as original controllers.
