## Description

Review: Actually fits the NES Controller Port - I found these were being released on July 15th, 2020. Exactly what I wanted and works flawlessly!! Pre-ordered a pair of these controllers for my original NES hardware. The wireless adapter fits **NICE AND SNUG** into the ports on the console. The connection was automatically established once plugged in the wireless adapter, I turned on the NES, and pressed start on the controller. I immediately put in the Mike Tyson's Punch-Out cartridge (my go-to for these sort of response/lag tests) and went straight to the Mike fight. These controllers ARE FLAWLESS. NO LAG that I experienced, my dodges, punches, and jabs were on point. Tested from 3, 7, 10, and about 15ft. from the NES console......perfect. No complaints here! If you're looking for a perfect solution in a wireless controller to your old NES console, look no more. The 2.4G Wireless option is MUCH BETTER than any of the Bluetooth controllers controllers, hardly any lag that's noticeable. Each package comes comes with 1 controller and 1 wireless adapter, an instruction sheet, and 1 USB charging cable (you will need to plug this into an other USB power source, I don't think the original NES controller ports supply the correct voltage/amps to charge the controllers from the wireless adapter plugged into in the NES console. Nor are there any USB ports on the wireless adapter). The battery is built-in and is a 180mAh Li-on battery that claims about 18 hours of play from full charge. Controller has an auto-save feature that turns off in one minute with no connection and 15 minutes if connected but no input from the controller. No information that I can see on what type of USB power source is needed, but I tested it connected to a standard USB port (not mini, micro, or USB-C) on my computer, an Apple iPhone USB Power Adapter, and the USB ports on my APC Surge Protector Stripe, all charged the controllers without issue. Sidenote: I had just returned a pair of Hyperkin "Cadet" Premium BT Controller for NES before seeing these were coming out. Those controllers' wireless adapters (even though advertised as they do) do NOT fit in original Front Loader NES consoles. They barely fit in halfway and go in and out of making connections with with the 7-pins of the NES's controller ports. Stay away from them and go with these. 100% what you're looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Retro NES fans, This is the one.
*by K***S on January 4, 2026*

AMAZING!!! I was worried about lag issues and then when I turned on the Nintendo.....they didn't work. Well if you plug the receivers into your nintendo BEFORE turning it on, they work amazing. So far playing Dr. Mario, Link II, Ninja Gaiden, Snow Brothers, Tetris....so far no lag issues. As of typing this, I'm still waiting on Mike Tyson Punch out and then I will try to remember to update this review, because that is the game where lag will reveal itself, IF it exists. So again, two remotes, plugged both the receiver bits into the nintendo and they are so awesome that I will be buying two more just to have charged, but honestly it wasn't until after a few gaming sessions that I even had to charge them for the first time.
