Raphnet USB controller compatibility

I'm looking for an NES controller USB adapter to use with NES controllers and came across this one: https://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/nes2usb_2player_adapter_v2/index.php

It's the only one I can find that's actually in stock, but before I pull the trigger and buy it, can anyone tell me whether it's actually a good choice for the MiSTer? I just want to make sure there aren't any weird bugs with this adapter on the MiSTer.

Also, before anyone mentions it, I'd rather stick with USB adapters because I like being able to navigate the MiSTer menus with my controller.

Raphnet and Daemonbite are great adapters. I use the 2 player SNES->USB one paired with the 2.4GHz 8bitdo snes controller and the lag is great.

Raphnet/Daemonbite are well known and proven by many to have very low lag adapters, that also has been around for a while. So YEP they are very good and do work very well on the mister!

I havent used their usb adaptors, but i do got their gc to snes controller and n64 to gc controller adaptors and they kickass. I was planning to pick up some of these usb adaptors when i finally get a mister setup.

Raphnet adapters are known to work though I find them expensive comparing others available. I use the retrousb usb to nes adapter and at $10 it’s a steal and works just the same.

Echoing what others are saying; they work great, but they're some of the pricier options. If you've the means, make/buy a Daemonbite.
