    I picked up this controller so I could play certain games with my son who uses the game pad, such as fighting games etc that the other WII U controllers just aren't suitable to use. The controller works well and seems decently made. The only draw back is the size of it. It's on the smaller side and if you have large hands it will take some getting used to. Overall, it is worth buying.

    I liked the feel of the controller better than the bulkier wireless controllers. I am not a fan of the stick controllers for WII and this has worked with every game I have played so far.

    I was afraid this would be low quality, but it's solidly built. It's a little small for my small hands, but perfect for my 7 year old and he loves it. I'll probably buy another for my 4 year old as well.

    Doesn't work for a lot of games but works well for the ones that do support it. The Wii U pro-controller is probably one of the best controllers on any console ever so this one is just OK in comparison, but not bad considering you can buy two of these and have enough left over for a sub.

    First off I didn't look at the item clearly. If I did I would've noticed how small it is. It's a mini controller for a 5 year old. That being, said the controller works as it should. If u want a small controller get this, otherwise stay away

    Awesome controller! Only thing I would like, is to be able to refresh the batteries in the controller. I have to make sure it's plugged in and fully charged; otherwise the controller will start to mess up your game. Other than that, I haven't had any issues; and I enjoy using it with ease.

    I only bought this because it was a great deal on Best Buy Deal of the Day. It's a great controller. Does what it is supposed to. Holds a charge forever and I like that it vibrates with the action. Makes game play even more fun. Definitely worth the money.

    If you're anything like me and the normal Wii U controller stick placement bugs you, give this a try its actually a really nice controller. Like others have said the controller is a bit smaller then normal, which took a little bit to get used to, but besides that it works great.

    I have small hands which makes this product excellent because it is a smaller device. It is perfect for young grandkids too.

    Between the Xbox One and the wireless controller for the Wii U here, the only difference is the buttons are swapped places, but the location of the triggers, bumpers, analog sticks and d-pad gives for a comfortable feel changing between the two. And the battery is super long lasted.

    I've found that this controller is a lot smaller than the other pro controllers and the placement of the buttons is swapped with the right analog making it much easier to use. The battery life has been fantastic as well.
