I got this as a secondary controller for those times of old school PvP fun. I admit, I didn't really use it, staying with the Nintendo offered one. I had bought an extension cord for it and all was okay. For a review I decided to try this Player 2 controller. Simply, there's no difference between the two Granted, the greatest reason to buy this is the extra length of the cable. It alone is the reason to get it. I had heard there was lag when using this third party controllers. I didn't notice any on the games that I played using it. Even the way it's modeled to look like Nintendo's is a great feature (though one can say it's too close of a clone and be turned off). While the extended cable is the reason to get it the deal is sweetened by THIS MODEL BEING IN STOCK AND CHEAPER!!! Truly, don't even try and find a Nintendo branded second controller, Insignia nailed it with this peripheral.
