If your reading this that means you saw the headline of this review.
I was prepared to give this item 3 stars until I remembered 8bitdo has firmware updates for their products.
Out of the box, the receiver is easy to connect. You connect it the same way the NES/SNES controllers that came with your Classic console. In order to pair the controller with the receiver you push the button that is on it and put your controller in pairing mode. It connects and that's it! You can use the wireless controller you want on your classic console.
Now if you try to connect your 8bitdo controller, like my N30 pro 2, it may not work. Yeah that makes no sense but I updated my receiver to the latest frimware and it worked. It doesn't say anywhere on the package that you have to update it. Hope the company fixes this.
As for my only complaint, the receiver doesn't attach to the console like the wired controller does as (shown in pictures.) The product has no metal levers or attachment hooks like Nintendo controllers. It isn't a major issue but feels strange the first few times you connect it.
I was able to play with my DualShock 4 controller, Wii U Pro controller, Switch Joy- Cons, Wii-mote, and of course the N30 Pro 2. It feels great to play with controllers that are wireless. As for the PS3 and Switch pro controllers... I don't have a Switch pro controller to tell you how it feels. The PS3 controller is a pain to connect, so I didn't even with that.
The great product to have if you enjoy playing your NES/SNES classic console a lot. No regrets after updating it.
