To start off with this controller is not a perfect match for the original Wii U pro controller, that said it is damn close and it feels better in some ways. Buttons are stiff but not tiring, d-pad is a little mushy but very acceptable, shoulder buttons feel good, analog sticks feel a little tight, and the overall feel of the controller is great.Now that that's out of the way let's get to the beef, when I got my controller it was missing its battery cover surprisingly enough, however I discovered that an Xbox one controller battery cover fits surprisingly well. That's about the only reason why I'm docking one star from this review.All in all I would recommend this controller,

I read this design had changed, so thought I'd give this one a punt (as I personally really liked the feel of the old one, for the brief seconds it held a connection).Unfortunately this one feels slightly cheaper than the original one, it has single click triggers (which work fine, but they kind of feel wrong on this type of controller), no rumble which is a shame - and you have to put your own batteries in.On the plus side this one works!I would say overall I'm / we're happy with it.

Having bought one of these initially, have subsequently gone and got a second one. My girls love these controllers. Pairing with the Wii U takes just a few seconds. Easy to charge, so no need for batteries, and seem to last forever before needing to be charged again. I have found that these can be charged from a PC USB port, as well as the Wii U. They are available in different colours, but unfortunately, like most other stockists, Argos only stock the blue one.

For design an appearance this controller is second to non it gets top marks my kids love the lights. For half the price of an official hand set this controller is a no brainier it feels sturdy an well built comes with an extra long charging lead great for keeping up game play, I thought it was broke at one point as the on screen avatar was walking circles but once plugged in the problem stopped so I put that down to battery an it has not happened since ,

I bought this Wii U Pro controller as the Wii U Branded one was out of stock. I was worried that it wouldn't b compatible with the console or some games as I've heard that not all none branded controls work but so far so good. It's comparable will my sons console & all the games he requires it for; Smash Bros/Splatoon. It's a great alternative to the original one at a lower price & the lights are a bonus too. Great value for money.

I was on the look out for a pro controller for my wiiu but they are very expensive. I have had afterglow controllers for other consoles so decided to go for this one which is so much cheaper and still wireless. had no problems what so ever. Only thing I will point out is it had a hole in the box to try the glow effect but it doesn't work until it is pressed at the back sp a little pointless.All in all a lovely product.

Bought for my son for his 10th birthday to accompany Super Smash bros game as its better/ easier to control and play than normal controller for wii, the light up feature was just added bonus as no more expensive than others around. He loves it... Only downside is that only uses batteries and doesn't have cable included if you wanted to power from console as constantly recharging batteries for him

Bought this for my 9 year old son so we could play on the wiiu together. Works brilliantly and really really easy to set up. Occasionally it takes on its own personality and moves things when we haven't pressed anything, but turning it off and back on again seems to solve this very quickly. My son loves the lights on it and play is excellent. Would definitely recommend this.

This was purchased as an extra controller for my kids Wii U and is doing the job well. It's battery operated (opposed to chargeable like the pro controller we have), however that's not an issue as we are used to swapping batteries out from the old Wii controllers. With it lighting up, it makes it attractive to use to my kids so I rarely get to use it.

Bought this on my daugthers request since they want to play together on their WII U. Tried & tested it and they love it. Super happy. Make sure you buy good AA battery that support game console. I bought Energizer with the picture of game console on it. Tried other batteries and they didn’t work well. Sometimes lagging or no response.

The Afterglow controller is perfect for gaming and a great alternative to the official Wii controller. I would note though that there is no motion control on this remote and for playing Mario Kart it's a bit more difficult without the motion control, but once used to it, it's very accurate and just as good as the original.

Bought this for my son who is struggle with the size of the Wii u pad.The controller is very light to use and works amazing why buy the official controller when this one ticks all the boxes.One great thing is the blue LEDs light up and being see through is a nice featureWould defo get another one

Really impressed with this controller, it looks and feels good. Originally was double this price, it makes Mario and other platform games more on par with Xbox and PlayStation.The colours are nice, only fault is that it take batteries, you would think it would have recharge function...

Bought this because my daughter received a game that needed it for christmas, I don't like the way to looks but the kids love it. What I do like is the way it works and I'm now using it myself for most games when I play with the kids. Wish I'd got one years ago and will be getting another.

I was a bit cautious buying this as I usually prefer to buy the original manufacturers branded items, but I am very impressed with this. I works like a dream and the controls are excellent. Don't think you're getting an interior product because it's cheaper, this is a really good product
