Very responsive, multifunctional.
I have a great fear of accidentally tugging my game when I get up as I play in one of those fancy motorized chairs that sometimes snag the cables. This kinda solves that problem. It was so nice I purchased a second one for player 2.

Perfecto en todo sentido
Me encantó este control. Se siente como recuerdo de mis tiempos con el NES, con un tamaño, peso, y forma totalmente correctos.El origin8 tiene switch para turbo, más botones para añadir flexibilidad. Es perfecto para emular consolas de ocho bits como el NES, o portables hasta Gameboy Advance.Buena construcción, gran calidad. Muy recomendable.

Most stable wireless conectivity I've tried.
The 2.4gHz USB receiver is the best wireless experiance I've had. The 2.4gGhz band at my condo is very congested. This makes wireless controllers practically useless for me. However in my limited testing the latency is nothing. No delayed button presses at all. Passed the Super Mario test on my Analog Pocket Dock with flying colors.The buttons feel a bit cheap and flimsy. But offer enough tactile sensation to be acceptable. The controller I received has red A & B buttons and there is more space for the D-pad to slide around inside the shell. After extended testing the D-pad has a tendency to spazz out a bit compared to the original NES controller and the unatainable 8bitdo M30. It does have a center pivot. Far superior to the Switch pro controller's D-Pad though. That's not saying much though.

It just works and works well
Got this controller specifically to use on a famicom (with adapter) since the cabled controllers are way too short. This worked flawlessly on that famicom as well as my nes.No complaints.

Quite dissapointing
The package itself gives a very good first impression: it's slick, has great colors and overall looks like a quality product. The disappointment itself comes when you open it and get the actual controller out: the colors don't match the pictures at all, the plastic feels super flimsy, the buttons are smaller and feel awful pressing them (especially the L & R) and has a cheap and garbage product overall.I find it unfortunate because the picture renders in the product page and the box itself look amazing and if they had actually delivered that product (even if it whereas much as double the price), it would've been an excellent product. I'd avoid it and buy other brands, such as a 8bitdo, for example.Edit: after playing with it for more time, I decided to go from two stars to one. There is primarily one reason for this: the NES adapter is super loose (like, laughably loose).

Nice multipurpose controller
Works great, nice to use on the original NES and modern hardware since it comes with both receivers.My only complaint is it is a little smaller and lighter than I wished.

Button layout is great
Love this controller.Very Comfortable. Just needs a much faster turbo update. Highly recommended.
