I got these wireless controllers so I could lay back and play NES in bed before going to sleep. The controllers themselves work great, low latency, long battery life, and can even be set to be players 3 and 4 (so with two standard NES controllers plugged in and these 2 wireless controllers, you now have 4 player action available).
The only real problem I have with these controllers is the D-Pad. Instead of being a traditional four-way +, it's instead a disc that spins around and can be pressed in different places (think Intellivision controller if you've ever played one).
It's a real shame because the wired controller that came with the Generation NEX was great. It had one of the best D-Pad's I'd ever used, and had extra shoulder buttons for alternate A and B buttons. The wireless controllers don't have the great D-Pad or the shoulder buttons, the Turbo and "Slow" buttons are still there, but they're both too awkward to use (just like on the wired NEX controller).
I still use the controllers because being wireless is just so great to have with the NES, but if I'm going to be doing any sort of serious gameplay, I use the NES or NEX wired controllers.
