    Well-made and functional - also works with Atari 2600.

    PROS: These Genesis extension cables work great, and are a great deal. They're solid, dependable, and don't cause any signal degradation. You can also attach them in series to get an even longer cable. BONUS: These also work with the original Atari 2600. The two machines used the same type of plug for their controllers, so these extension cables are 100% compatible with both systems. CONS: None. SUMMARY: These are a very good product, which I would 100% recommend to other gamers.

  • Top critical review

    Alot thinner than expected.

    When i purchased the item i thaught for the price it was a quality item. I saw similiar listed for half the price, but different packaging. Well the cords were really thin and look weird paired with the original controller cords. At first one didnt even work. I did get it to finally work after fixing bent flimsy contacts with some tweezers.

  • Reduce wear and tear on your console

    I bought these to use with my Atari 2600. I am constantly changing out the joysticks for the paddles and vice versa. They feel solidly constructed, and now I don't have to worry about snapping the pins in the controller ports.

  • Inexpensive

    I spent a lot of money to NOT buy more of these. Male pins get pushed in easily. Some controllers were hard to fit into the female end. They worked fine for splicing up, experimenting and making adapters, etc.

  • Partially dead after few days

    Got two of them. They both worked perfectly fine for a few days but now one of them fails to register the down button. I've tried different Genesis models and controllers and it does the same thing. It's also a VERY tight fit on Japanese systems. Do yourself a favor and find another brand if possible.

  • Kinda necessary

    If you have cheaply made third party Genesis controllers like I bought, then you may need these. They tend to have very short cables and these extensions make the controllers usable

  • Worthless garbage

    The pins were very crooked on both extensions I received. I did my best to gently straighten them out, but when I plugged in an OEM Genesis controller one of the pins on the extension just slid back into the housing of the extension. There's no way to open these and pull the pin back out so now it's useless.

  • Amazing!!

    Love these! They make sure your extremely short genesis clone controller cables now become suoer long so you can sit far away from your tv comfortably and still play genesis!! Thanks!!! Highly recommend these to anyone!

  • Retro-Bit Let Me Down Again

    After reading other reviews, realized it wasn't just me: these cables are hit or miss. I bought 2 but only 1 seems fine. The other cable seemingly is finicky about the Up direction. Have to give this 2 stars.

  • Good extension cables for lightweight retro consoles

    Good and work well for lightweight consoles like @games 85 Sega games included consoles where the whole console slides around too easily and the standard cables are too short.
