Controller for Wii U, Bigaint Wireless Pro Controller Bluetooth Gamepad Connected to Wii U Console Dual Analog Joystick-Black

I was so happy with this controller I paid about 20$ for I just have to write a review about it to let you know what's up. So, first and foremost: It works great. All the buttons worked and I am able to play Zelda Breath of the Wild with it! This in itself proves it's a Wii U Pro Controller because that game only works with 2 types of controllers. The "Wii U Game-pad" & the "Wii U Pro Controller." Even though when the game first came out the print on the back of the game case clearly shows it works with all the other Wii controllers, it doesn't. Nintendo corrected the print shortly thereafter. So if you have that game for Wii U check the back of your case. If it shows it works with controllers that it doesn't work with. You have an original ;) "Fun fact".Ok enough about that though, back to what currently matters, the controller. Everything about this controller also feels and looks exactly like a Nintendo brand Wii U Pro controller. The only things that are missing signifying that it is in fact a third party controller not made by Nintendo are: the print on the front that says "Wii u" and the battery case on the back is sealed rather than a clip that opens.For the price it's absolutely perfect! This is the price Nintendo's controller's are truly worth and should be sold for! In fact I am soo happy with this controller and how well it works that if I need another pro controller for any reason, this is the one I am more than likely going to buy again. There is absolutely no good reason for wii controllers to cost 40-80+$ This really is just about the best deal you'll get for 20$ when it comes to Wii U pro controllers.The Battery: Well this one I was a little unhappy to find out but the battery is only a 350mAh "built-in" Lithium battery. Built in is the main problem for me here. Meaning once the battery is no good you either have to take apart the controller to get to it & hopefully replace it or alternatively buy another controller. It is mentioned in the slip that came with the controller to last 10 hours wirelessly after full charge. and so it does. Can't complain too much. (20$)The charger cable that came with it: The charger cable that came with it is a 3ft. USB to USB Mini port. Again not the greatest. I recommend picking up a separate cable that is longer to charge it. That way if you need to plug and charge it while playing. It won't become a problem. Plus if you'd rather have it wired so there is no chance of it dying on you while playing this would be a real convenience. Note that the Wii U will not charge controllers while the Wii U is off or in standby mode. Nintendo has a support form in regards to this issue. I am not allowed by Amazon policy to post a link here.Syncing this Controller: You sync it just like any other controller. It's built just like a Nintendo Wii U pro controller. The sync and reset buttons are on the back of it. Make sure while syncing or turning on the controller that you are not accidentally pressing any other buttons or holding them down. This includes the joysticks. Make sure they are center at all times during these actions.1. Press the small red sync button on the front of the Wii U console first. Wait for the controller pairing screen to pop up.2. Now press the small red sync button on the back of the controller. After a few seconds it should sync up and you should be all set.There is one thing I should mention however. When I first attempted syncing this controller it tried to register as a Wii U Gamepad. Not just a Pro Controller. Due to the controller not having a touchscreen like the Wii U Gamepad it is impossible to do so. A different pairing screen came up asking me to input the four symbols as if I was pairing a Gamepad. If for any reason this happens to you during pairing, simply reset your console and try pairing it again if need be. This worked for me just fine. I'm guessing the cause of this is because the controller sends out pairing signals as both a Wii U pro controller and a Wii U gamepad. But unless you have a separate touch screen for the controller, you can not pair it as a "Wii U Gamepad". Does such a thing even exist? Maybe the company didn't know which signals were which. Maybe it is intentional. I don't know. I accepted this as intentional and not a fault simply because the controller is advertised as a "WII U Pro Controller, Bigaint Wireless Controller ("Gamepad") for Nintendo Wii U Pro Bluetooth Game Controller." So yeah, it really is exactly as advertised Lol. Every word of it. What a mouthful.Comfort: The only problem I had is the charging cable that came with it. It is too short. Sitting 3ft. away from the TV cannot be good on the eyes... For the price though it is to be expected. The cable I can buy separately. All I care about is the performance of the controller. Which stated above, works great!Well anyway, that's it. Hope you found what I've had to share helpful. For 20$ this really was a great buy!

Obviously if you've got the Wii U, you start with the GamePad, which is a decent enough controller and oft times required for use of the tablet part of it on certain games.this is pretty much a generic controller that we are all used to the shape and feel of from other game systems used. It feels more comfortable to use, has amazing battery life and is very responsive.

You get what you pay for. It syncs fine and "works", and is probably fine for your little kids, but for anything beyond that it's very meh. It feels cheap, the analog sticks are not properly calibrated, etc. For instance, the right stick "catches" immediately when tilting to the left, and your in game camera reacts promptly, but when tilting to the right there's a huge amount of dead space before it activates. This means you've basically got to learn to aim harder to the right than to the left - which is not easy - or else you're constantly dying or otherwise messing up.I just ordered a Nintendo brand pro controller and wish I had in the first place. Again, I'm sure this is fine as an extra controller for the kids, it certainly "works" and is easy to set up, but if you want something with any sort of reliability in terms of gaming performance I'd probably look elsewhere.

I play mostly Lego games, often with my five year old. He likes the pad, so I was stuck with the old Wii controller/nunchuck. Switching button configurations when I played alone was irritating me, and I bought this to combat that. It retains the button setup of the pad, is comfortable to use, and less bulky than the pad. I was able to use it for at least 20 hours straight out of the box, before charging it. My only gripe is that the charge connector is different than the pad's charge connector, but that's a minor annoyance. Honestly, I would rather use this than the pad most of the time.

Shoulder buttons feel loose and rattle when you shake the controller. other than that it's a good replacement.

Most comfortable controller I have used and was by far my preferred way to play the WiiU compared to the clunky gamepad.The battery life is incredible and I have never had it die on me, even with constant use when charging once every 2 days or so.After I sold my WiiU I kept this controller to use with games on my PC,There is no official software to use this on a PC and for it to work I had to google around and found some software made by fans. This software isn't ideal but allows the controller to work as any other controller would and allows you to map anything you'd like to it. But takes a minute of setup everytime you want to start using the controller.

It’s unfortunate but this is the only way I am able to play Mario games on my Wii U, and it stills feels pretty clunky, similar to using a normal Wii remote. However for $20 I am just going to let it slide and enjoy Mario as much as I can.

SUPERB!!! wireless and simple to use it. Much better than I expected! But when I use this for the first time, I felt uncomfortable because of smaller than game pad. Once I get used to this, I prefer to use this. Why not! it is much lighter with perfect size. The size is similar to the Galaxy note 4 when I grip it in landscape way. I think this size is good for all players, even better for kids that uncomfortable to use wii u game pad like my younger brother :) I guess this controller size can fit up to XXL gloves wearers but if you have extraordinary big hands, this might not be suitable...

Does what it's supposed to arrive in good condition
