I picked up a pair of these SN30 controllers to use with the Super NES Classic that I installed into my truck. Being wireless (2.4Ghz) meant I could hide the main console away while not having to worry about routing controller cables into the cabin. The feel of the controllers remind me eexactly of how the original SNES controllers felt when I was a kid, and there's no lag in the gameplay response. And a bonus feature that makes this work perfect for my use is the built-in controller shortcut (D-pad down + select) that resets the SNES Classic back to the home/game menu screen; with the original wired controllers, to reset you'd have to physically use the reset switch on the console itself!
I would have loved to give the controllers a perfect 5 stars but I've only given it 4 - not because of the controller itself, but because of the receiver dongles that are included. The dongles plug into the SNES Classic console and stick out about 1.5" from the front of the console, but they don't quite fit securely. If you nudge the recievers slightly, they lose contact with the console. I had to use a small dab of hot glue to secure the receivers to the console before tucking the console away. If your console never moves or isn't subject to vibration, this might not be a problem. Aside from that small design flaw, the 8Bitdo controllers are awesome.

Almost perfect - These wireless controllers work with the SNES Classic, and add a useful feature too
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019
Steps:
1) remove the 4 screws from each of the 8bitdo wireless adapters (you will need the appropriate torque screw driver) and open and remove the internals.
2) remove the 4 rubber feet/pads from the bottom of the SNES Classic.
3) remove the 4 screws that were under the rubber feet and carefully open the SNES Classic.
4) remove the two screws which are on the front of the SNES Classic and pull the plastic part in front of the controller sockets out.
5) plug the wireless adapter internals into the controller socket.
6) get electrical tape and wrap the wireless adapter chip.
7) place one of the adapters in the front portion of the SNES Classic and one on the left side of the heat sink (see my picture) and tape them in place so they don’t rattle (see picture).
8) put the socket holes plastic part back on the front with the two screws.
9) close the snes Classic up with the 4 screws and put the rubber feet back on.
10) optional: glue the front cover to the 2 controllers socket holes on the front so it doesn’t open anymore.
It really looks nice and the controllers work the same inside of the SNES as they do on the outside plugged in.
Mod instructions: USA SNES internal wireless!

These are excellent controllers and work great even from 15 ft from my TV. I have two of them. You can easily mod the SNES Classic (USA) to have the wireless adapters inside of the SNES instead of on the outside. If you look at the picture I posted, you can see I placed them inside. Below is what you need to do to put them inside. Even someone who isn’t good with electronics could do it.Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019
