You ever hear of this trick?
Insert cart into NES as close to the front of the system as possible.
I usually do the above at the same time as pushing down to make sure it just clears the front of the machine. I clean my machine as often as possible to stay clean. I still have an original working NES.
As you probably know the contacts on those 72-pin become bent from inserting the carts which leads to the contacts not lining up.
The other thing I sometimes do is clean off the contacts on the carts themselves. These can become rusted. An eraser is good for this.
Any luck with those knockoffs? I have an older NES, still works 'ok' but at some point I'd like to get some new hardware to replace.
A friend of mine bought one from Ebay, but he mentioned the controller had a bit of a delay. He mentioned people were working on a converter for the NES controller.

No, they open sourced my foot up your arse.

Psst, you can use your PS2 controller with the Gamecube with a simple converter cable, which can be found at various stores like CompUSA etc...
