I've bought several retro style SNES controllers from other companies in the past that were extremely poor quality in their construction with bad button feedback or an awful directional pad.
This controller has truly surpassed my expectations. The controller feels solid, the buttons have a nice firm reaction, and the directional pad is great too. Every press feels just like it's supposed to.
The controller does need to be paired! Make sure you check the box and use the instructions to complete the process. It's simple but you should use the instructions.
The battery life has been fine for me too. I work quite a lot so I don't get to play for long periods of time like I used to but the controller hasn't let me down here either. I've been playing on the same charge for days now.
If you are considering this controller for a proper retro SNES controller or a wireless controller for your SNES Classic, I would highly recommend it!
**UPDATE: I took the housing off of one, plugged it into the console all the way, and the controller began to work. Seems to have a limit of 10ft, disconnects seemingly at random, and looks ghetto without the housing. Still wouldn’t recommend buying but at least I got a couple of shortly lived games out of them.
Does not work. I bought 2 of them. Plugged the receivers into the console, lights blink, press the button to pair, light goes solid on each, then nothing. The controller doesn’t move anything on the screen, no buttons seem to work, nothing. Demo features just continue to loop. Plug my wired controllers in and all is well again. It looks like the receiver plug is designed poorly (won’t fully plug into the console); just a guess. Whatever the cause they are useless to me. Definitely would not recommend. Would have been better off just buying the extension cables.
This controller is possibly the best wireless controller for the SNES Classic. First of all it has some weight to it, and doesn't feel like you are going to break it. It as the same familiar feel as the original SNES controller, and doesn't seem to have any input lag to speak of. It paired immediately out of the box with no effort. A nice touch to the controller is that you can press Start+Select+L+R at the same time, and it will act as though you have reset the system, taking you back to the menu screen (while small, this is an amazing feature). If you are looking for a wireless SNES Classic controller, this one is the best available.
With so many third party controllers on the market, it’s tough to know what to buy. There were only a few reviews when I purchased at the end of January, so I took a chance.
I’m glad I did! Not only is this an inexpensive controller, but it’s pretty faithful to the original design and works like a charm. I don’t notice any lag and the being able to use the start+select button to get to the menu is an incredible bonus, not to mention being wireless.
Setup was easy, it worked right out of the box. I haven’t had any sync issues and the battery life after playing on and off for 2-3 hours total has shown no signs of quickly draining. I haven’t tried it with the NES classic yet, but it’s supposed to work with both (another plus!)
Thus, I’m very happy with this purchase!

(Sorry in advance for the lighting in my pictures! It was hard to see with just my overhead lights.)
I actually just got this controller in the mail today, and I must say I am extremely happy with it. There was literally no set up on my SNES classic aside from plugging in the wireless receiver. I picked this wireless controller as I've found other controllers have had issues with D-Pads, especially when pressing down and left. However, I bought a Honwally mouse not too long ago and was really impressed with the quality vs the cost. This controller is the same way. The controller isn't expensive, but it doesn't feel like it is going to break the first time you use it. It actually feels very close to the packed-in controllers that come with the SNES classic. The BEST thing about this controller though is the D-Pad actually registers all actions as intended and there aren't any false diagonal presses. The wireless signal never disconnected and I can now play my SNES from the comfort of my couch rather than having to sit a few feet away from a 55" TV. I think I'll probably be buying one or two more, so I can have 2 on my SNES classic and one or two on my RetroPi box. (It comes with a bluetooth adapter for computers.)
If you're looking for a decent wireless controller for your SNES classic and don't want to spend too much, I highly recommend this one.

Does not work, slow lag, can’t figure out how to mAke 2 of them pair. Each time it just takes over the one that is already paired. I recommend just buying the controller extensions with the additional wired controller.😥

Extremely fast shipping. Product installed and connected seamlessly. I use it on my pc with an emulator. The only reason I’m giving it 4 Stars is because during game play the start and select buttons will randomly activate without me pressing them. Becomes quite frustrating, especially if the game I’m playing requires accurate timing. The only options so far are to disable those buttons in the emulator ( which I need) or remap the buttons, but there’s no other buttons to replace them.
