    I like the small size since i have smaller hands. Was all that was in stock when Zelda came out so i purchased. Z button stuck..... When I purchased the full size Wii U pro controller found that the sticks and button position were switched around. Terrible adjustment period.

    It hasn't worked since opening the package. The character will only go in one direction. The joy stick moves, but the character will only walk toward the top of the screen. It doesn't matter which direction you try to move it.

    Simply Amazing

    I have tried several types of controllers for the WiiU and this one is simply the best I have gotten so far. I am used to the Xbox 1 controller and this definitely feels more like a standard controller. It moves the right thumbstick down which I think is for the best. Controller is a little smaller, but still awesome.

    The size is very small, hard to play on with large adult hands. The right trigger sticks on the one I got, returned it in less than a week of owning it. Not confident it will last based on getting a defective one right away. Exchanged for the Nintendo branded Pro controller, it's a little bigger and very nice.

    Poorly made

    I have been through 2 of these in less than a year. They work well for a few month. However after that the controller takes on a mind of its own. Even if the controller is just sitting there the game character does random things.
