Just as good and in some ways better than the first party controller!
Great price on this and the quality is on par with the NES Classic first party controller that comes with the official unit. The buttons and directional pad are super responsive and have a nice satisfying feel to them when pressed. The plastic of the body and buttons feels perfect and I love the design and texture on the face artwork. The start and select buttons are rubber like the original NES controller as well. Overall excellent quality. It's nice that the cable is 6' as well, compared to the way-too-short NES Classic first party controllers short 2' cable.My only minor issue would be that the A and B buttons are convex instead of concave, but this doesn't affect anything aside from my personal preference for an NES controller.

We are so happy we descovered orzly. Not only is this remote just as great as the remote that came with the NES, it has a longer cord and different color, so there is no fighting over remotes in my house. I also ordered the extra cords from orzly, and well this house is loving NES. Orzly customer service is amazing. The remote was not scheduled to arrive until after Xmas, but I emailed
Them, the promptly replied and assured me they mailed from the U.K. and we all
Prayed it would arrive before Xmas, it arrived 5 days before Xmas morning.
Thank you orzly for great prices, excellent customer service, and making it so easy to get all the extra necessities for NES so quickly and easily. We are enjoying it immensely! Thank you Orzly!

The controller works great. I really enjoy the 6 foot cord that comes with it as opposed to the super short cord that came with the original ClassicNES controller. It is nice to have two controllers for the two player games.

The Orzly RetroPad worked great on the first try. My only complaint is the buttons are a little different from the original NES controller and my thumb was getting tired much faster.

But, for the money, this is an awesome controller.
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2018
I was very hesitant in purchasing this due to the negative comments about the controllers not working properly and how you have to press the buttons and control pad very hard to get it to work. With it being so inexpensive, I decided to take a chance on them and I don't regret it. I have used both controllers on my Nintendo mini and both work great. I didn't have to hard-press any buttons, they work just like the original controller, just with longer cords! I'm very surprised and certainly satisfied. I know there are so many negative comments, but if it works for me, I'm sure it will work for you too.

Great concept, and design. Controllers feel good in your hands and the button presses feel good.

But that's where the good stops. As others have also complained about, the d-pad does not respond as it should. I had trouble with it pressing up, when I wasn't even touching it. I also was unable to properly select plays in Tecmo Bowl. I had read the reviews before I ordered, but there were more positive reviews than negative, so I rolled the dice. I just returned them yesterday. There are obviously some quality control issues in the manufacturing of these controllers. Until the company works makes a statement claiming they have worked out those issues, these controllers should be avoided.

Works as a controller like its intended to. But like a lot of other people have mentioned that the buttons are unresponsive at times. For me every button works fine besides the left d-pad button which occasionally doesn't work unless i press harder. The d-pad is also a lot bigger than the original one which can make it uncomfortable to play with and is not as accurate or precise of a tool as the original one. In the end it is a great alternative to buying the original one thats selling for triple. You dont always have to use it, just make your friends use it when you play together

I got a classic NES for Christmas, then I put in a order for this controller the day after. The controller arrived earlier than I expected (it was back ordered). Now I have several hours of game play on it, and it has worked flawlessly. The buttons are a little bit stiff but I got used to them fairly quick. I really like the longer cord, it's much longer than the factory and also like that it's in ninja black. I have recommended this controller to friends and I would purchase another one. Let me know when you rel

This controller was compatible, and functional, and comfortable to hold. However, after 36 days of moderate use, its buttons became slow in response compared to our geniune NES controller, and we have discontinued our use of this controller because it performed so poorly later in its life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Jammern auf hohem Niveau
Reviewed in Germany on June 26, 2019
Controller wurden schnell geliefert, sind günstig im Preis und die Kabel sind schön lang. Auch kein Inputlag feststellbar. Passt also alles.

Einzig die Tatsache das das Steuerkreuz etwas weiter "raussteht" als im Original ist ein Nachteil. Denn wenn man so ganz geschmeidig über das Pad gleitet und zockt, stößt man mit seinem Daumen immer gegen die Ecken. Bei längeren Zockerabenden kann das (sehr zu meiner Überraschung) ziemlich schmerzhaft werden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great None-OEM Pads for the NES
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2018
Surprisingly good (as good as OEM) build quality for these joypads. Been using them a while and still perform brilliantly. I actually prefer these to the OEM pad which is the best testament I could give!
