Can anyone recommend some decent & cheap third party NES controllers? It's been years since I had an NES and with my AVS coming this week it occurred to me that I need some controllers. I have a Famicom but those controllers are attached to the console. I hear the Tomy and Retro-bit controllers are a bit rubbish. The Cirka N85 gets ok reviews. Would love to hear your thoughts.

You can still get OEM NES controllers on eBay for 10-15 bucks.

 

Yeah, I saw that. I guess that I was thinking that the new 3rd party controllers go for less than that, they're unused and not 25-30 years old. Hoping that one or two of the brands might be good alternatives to a used OEM controller.

I honestly have never had any problems with Retro-Bit products.  They don't feel quite as solid, but they play just fine in my opinion.   And yeah, you can snag a pair for like 10-12 bucks or so!
