> 3 dayWorks perfectly. I can use my pro controller on my gaming computer and use my 45 inch LED in comfort with my wireless pro controller and play games either by myself or with others. I much prefer using a mouse and keyboard. But when it comes to Lego games or gang beasts. Being able to use my WII u Controllers rather than buying 4 xbox Controllers. This thing is really worth the money. And I can hook 4 pro controllers up to just one as d input. I have quite the option for Controllers on emulators as well. Perfect replacement for Xbox Controllers.

> 3 daySomeone 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayBeen using this for quite a few months and -LOVE IT- I love the Pro controller with its ridiculous battery life. This is the perfect compliment. Be sure to grab the software update, as other reviewers pointed out to make the buttons work correctly. But after that, its plug and play. The device itself remembers configurations, so you can bring it from computer to computer (to PS3, even!) to make it work like an Xbox controller. If you just need Dinput, its even better. Syncs multiples up no problem. I really like it. Im planning on buying another one.

> 3 dayI was recommended this adapter by a youtube video to connect my wii u pro controller on my nintendo switch system. It connects to the wii u pro controller but when I try it on the switch it does jot work. I even tried connecting it to my Macbook pro so I could use it with to play games. And still didn’t work.

Greater than one weekHad to use Reddit to find drivers for it so that I could reverse the inputs for A&B and X&Y since the buttons are reversed on an Xbox Controller but my PC thinks its an Xbox Controller so playing games was a bit hard until I found the driver for that.

> 3 dayWorks well for the games I wish to use it for, which dont require quick button sequences. I gave it 4 stars because it seems to have some slight input lag, which will probably spell death for faster games. Theres a mini disk for the drivers, but it seems to work as a plug and play for me.

> 3 dayI was aware that I could get the Wii U Pro controller to work on my PC with a regular old bluetooth adapter, but this was barely more expensive and didnt require fiddling with as much software setup. To me, I thought the convenience of the item was worth it. On the PC everything seemed to work without any problems so far. Just a bit of light use over a few months, but at least initially its been fine for me. PC Games with the Xbox360 controller support recognized the controller fine. I used it a bit in FF14 ARR, and it worked fine. It also worked in some games that required Direct Input instead of XInput. So both functions worked fine for me. This isnt a knock on the product, but button mappings were a problem when trying to use with the PS3. Its possible to use for games that allow full button re-mapping, but most dont do that. TLDR: It works.

> 3 dayWow, after all the hell i went through trying to set my wii u pro controller up on PC without this, i was honestly expecting this to not work as described, it was too good to be true. thankfully, i was wrong, right away it synced with my controller and was effortless. it did have incorrect mapping for the face buttons but as the top rated review says, it was easy enough to update the firmware and switch it to the correct mapping. if you have a Wii U pro controller and play games on a PC, you have no excuse not to have this.

> 3 dayI 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.
