I find it easiest to use a Switch pro controller tbh.

Many use an original NES controller, and a NES to USB-adapter... it this okay for speedrunning?

Original nes controller using a usb adapter is your best option, especially if you plan on switching to console in the future. Raphnet is known for making great quality adapters, but since this is only NES, a cheap dumb adapter from tomee should work just as well.

You can use any controller you wish basically. You cannot use functions such as turbo or anything else that you can't do on an OG controller.

The Switch already is an emulator for many NES and SNES titles.
