If you get one that works, it's pretty good - but it's *NOT* a Pro Controller for the Wii U.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2015

Verified Purchase

Like many other reviewers, my first controller ordered here did absolutely nothing. It was worthless, so I sent it back for a replacement, which they sent me before I even got my other one boxed back up and shipped off. Amazon is amazing like that.

The controller itself, once I got a working one, works just fine. It is *not* a Pro Controller for the Wii U. It is basically a Wii Controller + a Classic Controller add-on in one. They added some additional functions, and of course, it is shaped like a Wii U Pro Controller - but if you try to play a game on the Wii U that only works with a Pro Controller - this will not work. It will be recognized as a Wii Remote. It does work with both the Wii and the Wii U, but it's not a Pro Controller.

It did work with the games I wanted it to work with, so I am pleased. Just know there is likely going to be a hassle of returns, and it is not actually a Pro Controller for the Wii U.

Solid Controller

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014

There are many reviews that already said a lot about this product so I will be short:

1.You NEED to press the reset button on the back before you can connect this to anything.
2.Battery life takes as long to charge as it takes to kill it which = 3 hours. Be prepared to charge for long gaming sessions.
3.Instructions for controller orientation on the back may be confusing for many.
4.Not a Wii U pro controller so it's not compatible with games like Batman or Legend of Zelda Wind Waker but it works with CoD and eShop games.
5. D-Pad feels a little weird and you'll accidentally go left/right when you hit up, down and vice versa.
6.Controller joysticks allows you to move in 8 directions only which will feel mechanical when you see you're character moving in strict paths like I did in CoD or in Monster Hunter.
7.Right Joystick has super strong dead zones for games requiring accuracy so be prepared to turn you sensitivity much lower to play shooting games
8.triggers feel cheap
9.lastly, the joysticks click in and Left click presses "B" and right presses "X". This is more annoying than useful.

I hope this helps someone make a conscience decision on a controller. I still like the controller and use it as my primary controller otherwise

The Perfect Controller for "Wii" games and "WiiWare" Games

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2017

Verified Purchase

This item does exactly what it says it will. Allow me to clarify and sum up the positives, negatives, and correct the negative reviews for any and all considering this purchase.

Positives & Negatives:
Like my title suggests this controller works perfect for wii games and wiiware games. The buttons are a little stiff at first but once broken in they feel great! I'm also impressed with the option to change the motion control while in wiimote mode. They call it "custom motion", and with it switched on i'm able to use the controller at a further distance than an actually wiimote. The infrared bar picks up the controllers motion without stuttering. If you didn't know, a real wiimote stutters and jumps around uncontrollably when you are too far away from the sensor bar. With this controller you can play at a further distance from the bar. BE WARNED however, that using the "custom motion" option flips the directional buttons for some odd reason. MY SUGGESTION is to only use this option when cycling through the menu's on the wii when you are very far away from the screen & sensor bar. It's useful!
So far I have tested 007 GoldenEye (The Wii Remake) and, incase you didn't know, it is one of the few games that still work online! So I used this controller in a couple multiplayer matches. It worked great! I SUGGEST using the controller in wiimote mode for both this and any game as you boot it up. Wait until prompted to use a nunchuck, classic controller, or classic controller pro on screen. Then flip the controller function on the controller. Now the game will register that you are using either a classic controller (if you have a Wii) or classic controller pro (if you have a WiiU). NOTE: The description of this controller doesn't break that down. Wii only reads this controller as a classic controller NOT A PRO. WiiU may read this as a classic controller Pro but I do not own a WiiU.
Yes, wii games will think that you are using an original classic instead of a pro but that is a minor difference and THERE IS AN EASY FIX. A classic controller does not have triggers and does not have a vibrate function. If the game you are playing thinks you are using a classic controller the chances are the game you're playing, especially shooters, wants you to use the L & R buttons are triggers and the triggers as buttons. This is backwards but you can fix this easy by changing the controls within settings of the game you are playing. Just swap the shoulder buttons around. Most games allow you to do this. Even more convenient, 007 Goldeneye actually had a controller option titled classic pro! I switched my control scheme to that mode within the games options>controls menu and like magic i had a fully functional pro feel! The only thing missing was vibration! Since Wii registers this controller as a classic original and not a pro DO NOT EXPECT VIBRATE TO WORK because only a Pro controller has vibration! NOTE: Vibration does work when this controller is in wiimote mode.

Do not make let the negative reviews scare you! They are mad this controller doesn't work for homebrew.
Allot of people say this controller doesn't work. Rest assured it does. It even comes with a one year warranty, so I suggest you register your unit if you plan on having it longterm so you can get parts and replacements within the year incase it breaks. Their customer service seems to be pretty good. Some people probably either got a defective unit and didn't think to exchange it or they tried to use this controller with homebrew apps and games. NOTE: This controller is not for homebrew. If you are trying to use this controller for illegal nes, snes, n64, gcn, gba, etc...it will not work properly. Again, this is not for homebrew. This works perfect for Wii games and WiiWare games, but homebrew stuff either doesn't fully work because of button mapping issues or it just doesn't work at all. MY SUGGESTION: If you are trying to play classic games (such as snes) on the wii, find ways to get wiiware version on your system. User discretion is advised!

Hope this helps. I'm loving mines.
P.S: Charge it out the box, it will take a while but the battery seems to last as long as a ps4 controller would so maybe that's reason for the long charging times.

Wrong controller Wrong Choice

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

Honestly. I knew I was getting a cheap controller but I at least expected it to turn on. It wouldn’t hold a charge and therefore couldn’t be used. I also suspect I got a used controller and not a new one as the packaging didn’t match the controller (black controller) and there was just a sticker labeled “black” over the UPC.

big issues with quality

Seems like good quality at first, but the directional arrows and stick her stuck in games, causing characters to keep moving when not pressing anything. Works well in Mario kart regardless.
