Works and feels great. Small hint for those using Windows 7, run your game program as administrator (by right cilcking on icon) to recognize the usb controller.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY LIVING MY 80'S IN THE 21ST CENTURY! April 24, 2010

By Andy

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Games Played - Tetris 2, 1943, Punch Out, and more!

Man, have I been waiting for a product like this for years! Aside from the small wait of transit for the product, it's actually quite worth it.

First Impressions:
-Nicely packaged, sealed on the corners
-USB port is wrapped and taped to prevent transit damage
-cable is nice and long, I think a little over 6 ft
-You can tell the item is new when you try it, the buttons click like a normal NES would, some excessive use will break it in just fine

Mapping was quite easy with all online emulators, I was up and running within 1 minute.

Start and select buttons have a nice rubbery feel to it

If you want to play old school games on your PC, this is the controller to do it with!

3.0 out of 5 stars An Unpolished But Usuable Homage April 26, 2011

Let me say first that anyone that says this is just like the NES controllers of old probably never owned or used one for any length of time. The feel is not very much at all like the original; I say that so definitively because I do still, to this day, use my original NES purchased in 1987. The controller is demonstrably lighter than the original (no doubt because the circuitry needed has shrunk so much since the original) and the buttons are obviously cheaply made. More to the point the mechanical switches are much stiffer and clunkier than the original controller and are poorly balanced, so roll-off during gameplay can sometimes be a problem. One particular plus for this controller is that, despite no advertised support, it does work properly for Apple OS X on at least the most common emulators so, if you're looking for an NES-style joystick for your Mac then look no further.

The problems notwithstanding, the controller is probably the best you're going to do barring finding an unused NES controller and having a degree in electrical engineering.
