    Bought 2 of these for our grandkids since there is 3 of them. The Wii U only came with 1 controller. These work just fine for the Wii U and the price won't break the bank!

    Works as intended, pairs easily, can take both batteries and rechargeable battery parks. The ONLY negative I have on this controller is some things like the home/start button are not in the same spots as official Nintendo remotes. So some of the remote cases cover a bit of the button, but that's not a big deal so I am not rating it lower because of it. I wish they made these to vibrate but they don't.. again, not taking a star off because nothing in the advertising of this controller says it is vibrate.

    Controller works well but there are no set up instructions with it. Had to go online to get the directions to get it to work. Also if it is the second controller being used it has "overruled" the first controller and locks first controller out and you have to reset the game.

    I bought 3 of these on sale as an early Christmas gift for my grandchildren so they wouldn't have to continue to share the Wii controllers we already had. They love the colors, and they all seems to work great. We bought 3, and one of them has had to be re-synced with the Wii unit multiple times. The other two have synced up automatically when we have turned the unit back on. I would definitely recommend these to family or friends, especially because of the price difference from the original Wii controllers.

    Since the Grandkids are the only ones that play the WII game these are perfect. When they come over we just change the batteries and we are good to go. Cool colors too! Easy to assign a color for each child..

    I like cool looking Wii remotes but the layout is a little off. The 1 and 2 buttons are diagonal to each other. Also the plus and minis buttons are up farther than usual.

    Intermittent handshake with the Wii

    Worked great when it worked, price was right, daughter loved the color. But unlike the factory remote, I had to re-handshake every time we changed out the batteries. Remote died after about 6 months, while the factory kept going strong. You might have better luck... we replaced it with an official Nintendo unit and have had a better experience since.
