Wii U Pro Controller Support extends to PC

Always nice to see stuff like this:

Personally I prefer the Xbox One controller myself given that most in-game button prompts are Xbox style, the flatter, more responsive d-pad and lower chance of hitting the guide button when trying to access Start/Back are improvements (over the 360 controller) in my opinion. That said, I know some people absolutely swear by Wii U Pro's unconventional ergonomics.

well i guess it could be useful for dolphin to have correct button prompts

X1 controller>>>>>>>.everything else except M&K

@ShepardCommandr:

I prefer the 360, ps4, and wiiupro a lot more.

I still really like it, just not as much as those.

It was only a matter of time.

Damn, now I need a Bluetooth adapter.

Now if they can port Wiimote and Nunchuck to PC so I can use pointer controls with a few games that'd be great

LOL tell that to the Dpad. X1 dpad is the worst registering Dpad ever created and this is after MS said they fixed it.

Seriously, what controller ISN'T compatible on PC through official and unofficial methods. The PS2 controller is played on PC. The N64 controller is played on PC, and I'm damn sure the Dreamcast controller is too. lol

No thanks, i'll stick with the 360 controller.

Cool the controller I think is the best Nintendo has ever made.

I have a 360 controller for my PC but that d-pad is atrocious.

Haha. Why would I want that? It doesnt even have proper triggers. Ill just stick with the perfect x1 controller.

@wolverine4262:

How is the x1 controller perfect? None if these controllers are perfect. You can't even use that word to describe them because it comes down to preference and taste, and even then there are pieces that could be enhanced.

@polishkid99: But it is.

If you own the controller, I guess it's good, but otherwise it's just an Xbox 360 controller minus the analogue (shoulder) buttons.

I've been using my Pro controller on PC for a while now. Been using it for Deus Ex, Sonic Generations, and Skyrim.

It's not a very good controller.

I prefer the Xbone, and PS4 controllers.

@wolverine4262:

Oh i see. Makes sense

I'm surprised someone could find the XI's d-pad worse than the 360s. I've found the X1's better for sliding inputs and generally more responsive. Case in point: I had to hit the 360 d-pad multiple times to get it to register weapon switching on Resident Evil 5 (PC) but the X1 d-pad works every time, even with a light flick.

I play a lot of fighting games and dpad button registration is very important and playing with the xbox one dpad is not possible even after they supposedly fixed it. It does not register diagonal inputs hardly at all. Throwing a regular fireball which is a simple down to forward slide motion takes around 10 times to register correctly. That's VERY bad. The xbox one dpad registers up, down, left and right fine but when you need diagonals, it fails miserably and is by far the worst dpad of any controller.

You should watch this and you'll see exactly what I'm referring to:

The Xbox One dpad is atrocious.

Cool! Now I just hope that they can find a way to get the GC adapter to run on the PC

Well, the nintendo controller has the best D-pad. So it's perfect to play 2D platformers like say Super Meat Boy.

Great news !

Awesome, Pro Controller is one of the best controller ever made. To bad it does not have analog triggers

well this is nice , i've been looking for a new controller

While the x360 controller is the best i've ever had, the triggers have too much resistance, the x1 controller is not really good trigger wise, stick wise it's better though and button wise it's a lot worse

I'll surely be trying this

Would never use it. Most games are mapped for Xbox controller and require no drivers. Plug and Play.

I gotta get myself a bluetooth receptor.

The only thing I like about the Wii U Pro controller is how long the charge lasts

ZOMG!!!! TEH AWESOMNESS!!!!
