8BitDo Mod Kit for Original NES Controller（Old Edition）

Don’t be dumb like me and assume the connector is a sliding one. It works like a door hinge. Never seen one like that before. Broke the connector trying to make it do something it wasn’t designed to do. Otherwise, this thing rules! Already ordered the replacement for the one I broke.

This is an amazing no-cut kit. Super easy to install and use. My only gripe is the proprietary barrel adaptor to charge it (which I'll certainly lose and need to find a replacement for at some point).

Great way to bring original hardware up to date

Easy to install, has a very good battery life, can behave like an xbox/android/switch controller and best of all you keep the classic feel of an original NES gamepad. One downside however is that the ribbon cable you connect to the PCB has to be folded gently on the inside to properly have it meet where the wire once was. Kinda wish the ribbon cable was a bit shorter so it'd meet the cable hole and I wouldn't have to wrap it around from the inside to make it fit. I feel like that part alone can be easy to break if you're not careful.

Install took about 5 min, works great with Windows and with Batocera.
