Pros & Cons
Pros
They're a little lighter than the og snes controllers, but the * are solid and play well. Sure beats relying on a keyboard to play classic snes games.

Cons
The d-pad needs to be pressed really hard to work. The warranty is probably a scam.

If you are constantly pushing buttons rapidly or holding down either the a b x or y buttons down dont be surprised to find that the springs inside the controller stops functioning to pop the button back into place

In my opinion all controller pads cords should be 6 feet by default
