    Great price for a gamepad that works without issue on Wii U. I believe a few people with very large hands might complain about the smaller size compared to Wii U version. This is perfect for my kids and I though.

    The WiiU gamepad is bih. Really big. This gamepad is small. Acceptably small. It is responsive and allows for more gaming without fatiguing my hands/fingers. Decent price as well. Recommended.

    A great wireless controller at a much lower price than the nintendo branded one. Deducted one star as sometimes it drops sync which is annoying.

    I recently found this on Bestbuys website and I was ecstatic to find them. I'm a big gamer on the Xbox and Playstation and I bought a wii U recently. I couldn't adjust to their button layout and hardly played my Wii U because of it. Since I got these I enjoy playing with my Wii U. The controller's are a bit small, but it's easier to adjust too than the button layout on the Wii U controller. The build quality is not that cheap. IT's not as good as the pro controller but it's decent. Plus it's less than $20.

    My 2 older kids use the controls that come with the Wii u console, this control is much easier for my 3 year old to use and now he can join them to play Mario games!

    Don't waste money on a fancy Nintendo controller. Got this and it works great with a built in rechargable battery and saved some money.
