> 3 dayMy 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.

Greater than one weekWorks like a charm, no setup necessary. Im able to use my WiiU Pro controllers for all my Retroarch games as well as my Steam library on my PC. Nice! WiiU Pro Controllers are very cheap on eBay compared to Switch Pro Controllers, so for the price of this one doodad, you can stock up on controllers for your PC with ease. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayIt works perfectly with an official Wii U controller from Nintendo. Unfortunately my 3rd party knock off SNES Wireless Pro Controller for Wii U did not work which was a huge disappointment because thats the main reason why I bought this adapter to use it. My lesson learned is stay away from untrusted 3rd party junk and stick to name branded devices with good user feedback.

> 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.

Greater than one weekI used to use my PS3 and these hacker made applications to use the Sony gamepad with my favorite PC games that I dislike playing with a keyboard. Nintendos Pro Pad eats the PS4 and XBOX One controllers lunch - in every way, and is for even highly advanced PC users essentially impossible to bluetooth connect to your PC without registry and system file level hacking and unverified driver installation steps that even went beyond my comfort level and I build machines and can even make a PC into an apple computer if I want. Spend an entire weekend failing and failing and breaking your windows install or creating bugs that lead to crashes and a shell of a computer and still likely you will have failed to do what this device for like $15 does in this many moves: 1. plug into USB 2.0 or 3.0 2. press sync on the device 3. press sync on pro pad. DONE - instantly works. You can in few steps use it still for your Wii U, and even unplug and change your USB port used and this has zero effect on its connection. Games for Windows that require an xbox controller? Theres a switch you flick and bam, now its xbox you can even install the xbox controller drivers and press the home button and windows will pop up the xbox green controller 1 logo and options to upgrade the software. You dont even need that, or to calberate your pro pad, $15 makes the worlds best modern pad work with every game to come to market as of this writing Dec 2014.

Greater than one weekIf you are a WiiU owner looking to use that WiiU pro controller on your PC? This is the device for you. Installation is as easy as plugging it in. With a toggle switch you can select between Dinput and Xinput. It effectively tricks your PC into thinking your WiiU pro controller is an Xbox Controller. It works great for games like MGSV too. Once its plugged in all you have to do is hit the sync button on both devices and your in business. It removes the hassle of trying to configure your controller through Bluetooth on your PC.

> 3 dayWorks perfectly fine even with 3rd party controllers. I only have ONE issue with it -- I can only connect a single controller at a time under Xinput mode, but works fine with 4 controllers on Dinput. Not that big of an issue but something to point out. The firmware update it comes with allows you to switch the buttons from the Wii U layout and the traditional Xbox 360 controller layout with button mapping. ALSO this works awesomely on the PS3, just keep in mind that it doesnt have pressure sensitive controls and only supports a single controller on PS3.

> 3 dayOriginally opted to use a bluetooth adapter in order to use my Wii U Pro Controller as I already owned one that I used to connect Wii Remotes to use in Dolphin. However that proved to be excruciatingly frustrating in order to even get the controller connected in the first place and even after doing so the controller doesnt function exactly as youd expect it to with its odd sensitivity, having to constantly remap in other software, etc. While it worked I ended up giving up and grabbing a Mayflash anyway. All I can say is that I wish I had done so in the first place as this method is practically plug-n-play (you do need to install its drivers first). Once you have those drivers installed youre basically set. As long as you dont resync the Wii U Pro Controller, anytime you turn it on the controller will automatically connect to the Mayflash. The buttons arent mapped to the same exact positions as the Xbox 360 controller but they are matched to the correct letter buttons. The rumble feature works in games that provide it and overall the controller functions perfectly as you would expect it to.

> 3 dayThis works as advertised with a minor issue. I updated to the latest firmware (released February 2015) and lost the ability to use the Home button at all. In X-Input mode this used to emulate pressing the XBox button on an XBox controller. I contacted Mayflash about this and they do not intend to bring back the function of the Home button. On the other hand, you can hold the + and A/B buttons to swap the mapping of the A/B and X/Y buttons to match the placement of the XBox controller or match the letters on the controller.
