> 24 hourI love this device! Its so simple to setup and it works great with Steam. I have been playing games like Rogue Legacy and Guacamelee with the ultra-comfortable Wii U Pro Controller. EDIT/UPDATE Whenever I plug this device into my computer and turn on the controller, it causes so much interference that it slows my network to a crawl. No one on my network can even stream youtube videos while I use this controller, and I cant stay connected to Steam. I sent an e-mail to the manufacturer, but they have yet to respond. UPDATE 2 I changed my routers at home and now this wireless device doesnt seem to interfere with the wi-fi at all. Working nicely with Windows Store games on Windows 10.

> 24 hourThe mayflash I bought came out great! When the package arrived I made sure this product comes with any additional items sure enough it did. the usb adapter, a disk plus the instructions are in the plastic case. After the installation on my laptop I tested the wireless connections worked on the Windows 10 with the Wii U Pro controller, it works (Even though compatible for Windows 98, Vista, 7 and 8) Works on 10 as well. Im very satisfied to use this controller not only on the console but also for PC.

> 24 hourThe unit is broken and Mayflash has been unwilling to work with me to get a new unit sent out. I successfully installed the device and synced my Wii U Pro controller with the device in DINPUT mode and it worked as expected, though the sticks werent working right. I saw online that I would either need to program the DINPUT setting or simply switch to the XINPUT mode to emulate a 360 controller. As soon as I switched the device to XINPUT mode, my computer blue screened. I tried everything. Uninstalled, reinstalled (from the website, obviously), blue screened. System restore, install, blue screen. Nothing worked. So I wrote an email to Mayflash and explained my situation and requested that a new unit be sent to my house in a box with return shipping paid for so I could send the defective unit in for testing. After a week with no response, I resent the message. I finally got a response in broken English suggesting I try it on a different computer. Of course I did and it also blue screened that computer. I still have not received a response back from Mayflash and thats been over a week ago again. I am on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Ill update this review if I ever hear back from Mayflash.

> 24 hourSomeone else pointed out that you cant remap the ABXY to correspond to standard placement for the same letters on the XBOX 360 Controller. Ill admit that this was also causing me some amount of grievances, but I googled it and apparently there was a firmware update in February of this year and you can now switch back and forth between standard letter-to-letter mapping and A<->B, X<->Y mapping. So, in case it helps anyone: - Go to their site, find the firmware upgrade from 2/10/15, download, unzip, run. - You may need to unplug your adapter and/or hold the sync button or something to get the button to light up. - After installing the firmware update, you can hold Start and B for 3 seconds to switch to standard physical mapping (A<->B; X<->Y) - If you want to go back, hold Start and A for 3 seconds. I dont think theres any sort of indication or anything, but it worked for me. It took me a little bit of searching to get this working exactly how I wanted it to... but it was also cheap and seems to now be working exactly how I want it to. The fact that they released a firmware update that fixes what seems to be a lot of peoples top grievance with it (after a precursory Google search) is neat too. As such, I cant really say anything against the product... Ill let you know if it fails me.

> 24 hourHave to say I wasnt sure if I could get this work after some woes a friend had with wireless controllers and emulators, but we had 4 Wii U Pro Controllers sitting around that we dont really utilize. Setup was easy. I just installed the drivers/software from the disk before plugging them in and they were recognized in RetroArch. I did have to go through and assign all the buttons, but RetroArch makes that easy. Have been working great for over a month.

> 24 hourAbsolutely incredible. This device lets you make full use of the Wii U Pro Controller on a PC. Vibration works well, controls work like they should. Oddly enough, Im used to purchasing electronics on Amazon and having them not work, but this was not the case here. No problems at all. Very easy to use. The directions are right on the back, and I set it up in less than a minute. Compare this with the 10+ hours I spent trying to get the Wii U Pro Controller to work with a Rocketfish bluetooth adapter, ultimately to have the adapter inexplicably break.

> 24 hourThis works really well. My only complaint is what a lot of people have mentioned already. The buttons are switched from what you would use on a 360 controller. This matches up with what is labeled on the controller, but not with what 90% of games will want you to press.

> 24 hourMy expectations were fairly low, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well this product works on my PC. It seems quite reliable and theres absolutely no problem using my Pro Controller with emulators. No joystick calibration issues, no issues with recognizing the adaptor, and no problems with the adaptor becoming disconnected. The adaptor is quite durable-looking and doesnt feel like its going to fall apart when I hold it, which puts it ahead of almost every other low price USB gamepad or adaptor Ive purchased. And since its wireless, theres really no stress placed on it during use. So, while I cant guarantee long-term function, this seems to be a very solid product and Im glad I bought it. The turbo mode is also surprisingly easy to use and better than most turbo options. Just hold a button and press Home to toggle between normal, turbo when pushed, and continuous turbo. Its fast enough to switch between modes regularly in normal gameplay.

> 24 hourI really like the Wii U Pro Controller, so I thought Id give this thing a try before purchasing a dedicated controller for my PC. Im very glad I did. The ability to invert A/B and X/Y after the firmware update is a nice bonus for me and shows that the manufacturer takes customer feedback seriously. Ive used this on copies of Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 without issues anywhere. I very much prefer the Wii U Pro Controller to the Xbox Ones. With this thing I can fire up the Windows 10 Xbox app, enable streaming, and play my Xbox One games with the controller I prefer.

> 24 hourthis works beautifully with my alienware X51. recognizes the controller as a 360 controller. only thing that you gotta get used to is the abxy mapping. as you know, the a and b, as well as x and y are reversed. once you get used to it, u will play like a pro. the connector port only connects one controller at a time so you will have to buy two or more for multiplayer.
