Super Famicom Controllers on SNES?

I assume you can use SF controllers on a SNES, but I want to confirm before I spend the money. I've read both ways, so I'm hoping someone here knows for sure.

Yes, but be warned, they're very, very short cords.

Cool. Thanks for the info. Sounds like I should invest in some extension cables as well.

The Super Famicom controller looks cooler and I like how all the buttons are convex.

If you want to use a SFC controller as your primary controller, you could do what I did and cross the two.

Internally, a Super Famicom and SNES controller share the same identical pcb. If you have a SFC and SNES controller on hand, you can use a simple star head screwdriver to take them both apart and swap the boards. Afterwords, you'll have a Super Famicom controller with a 6 foot cord and and the unwanted SNES controller with the 3 foot cord.

I'd recommend the PAL controller instead. Longer cord without having to mess with swapping, or an extension's added weight.

but whatever works.
