Simply put, if you consider yourself a "hardcore" gamer, or like traditional controllers, the pro controller is a must buy, absolutely. Especially on Amazon, because it's much cheaper here than in stores. Hope this review helps, let me know if any of you guys have questions!
As you can imagine, as a whole it feels smaller than a GamePad (it has no giant screen in the middle!) and is comfortable to use. The triggers (both sets) are slightly smaller than the GamePad trigger buttons, but it's not a problem for gameplay. Just something I noticed. It feels very "tight", compact, and streamlined (much better than other console controller, especially those giant original Xbox controllers). I have fairly average-sized hands, so your results may vary.
So far, it appears to have better battery life than the GamePad, which is nice (one to two hours of straight playing didn't phase it). I haven't pushed it to see just how long it lasts, so I can't comment on whether it makes the Nintendo-estimated 80 hour mark on a charge
Note the controller has a USB port and comes with a fairly short USB charging cable. The port is NOT compatible with the GamePad charger, and the cable that comes with the Pro Controller plugs into regular USB on the other end...not a wall socket. That means to charge it out of the box, it can only be plugged into a device that supplies power through USB, like the Wii U itself. If you plug it into the Wii U, in order to charge the Wii U must be on. I haven't looked into any other options for charging, or tested playing it while plugged into Wii U USB (I wouldn't advise it because in my opinion the USB cable is way too short for getting proper distance from even a moderately-sized TV).
Overall, a good buy, although a bit pricey. If you are looking at one, make sure it is compatible with the games you want to use it for, and don't assume a game will support it. I like it enough that I may get another eventually to reduce dependency upon the GamePad (and its battery limitations) in games that don't depend heavily on it (like Sonic).

wel wat krassen maar was dan ook tweedehands dus normaal.
spijtig dat de batterij niet zo goed meer was.
Deze heb ik moeten vervangen.
Goede verkoper zou er zeker terug kopen
This is a great controller to use with your WiiU games! It is kind of light compared to a Xbox One or PS4 controller but don't let the weight fool you; it still feels really nice in the hands. Battery life lasts incredibly long and overall feels like a premium product.
The only thing I can leave worth mentioning and somewhat of a gripe for me is the fact that the analog stick doesn't have that hexagonal indentation like the GameCube controller does. This is a personal conflict only because I enjoy playing Super Smash Bros and stops me from executing perfect inputs and combos with the tilts. Thus I specifically continue sticking with the GC controller for smash.
Using the WiiU Pro Controller with any other games is my way to go! Especially when it comes to Mario Kart 8, Platformers, and FPS games!
Overall 10/10
Además, un detalle que me agrada del control es que no necesitas cambiar de baterías, simplemente conectarlo al Wii U (fundamental que esté encendida la consola) y esperar a que cargue. La batería dura lo suficiente como para no cargarlo en toda una semana si juegas constantemente (y por horas), o por más de 2 semanas, o incluso 3, si eres un jugador casual y no lo utilizas todos los días. Por lo que realmente lo recomiendo.
Y una forma de asegurarse de que es original, es que la caja es un poco complicada de abrir y la terminas rompiendo aun cuando intentas hacerlo "con cuidado", además de leer la palabra "Nintendo" en el cable USB y el folleto original en el interior del empaque.
El precio al que se ofrece en Amazon es inigualable, así que si lo ven en oferta, no duden en comprarlo.
