Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
When I first opened the box, I didn't know what to expect. I mean, how would this controller be able to know to talk to the sensor bar, or to talk to the Bluetooth wireless. The controller, working its own magic, is actually a hybrid, meaning, it is talking to both the sensor bar and the bluetooth at the same time. Now, understand what that means, while in game you can tilt, shake, and point to your location. At the same time you are playing the game with all the action buttons. Essentially its the WiiMote and the Nunchuck combined together in a Weapon X type of hybrid controller. Super convenient, because I never have to get up from my sofa. The power button also turns on and off the Wii U and Wii console. Meaning I really don't have to get up from the sofa!

And I was about to buy this thing elsewhere...thank you so much for putting it in great detail. I won't be buying this thing AT ALL. Not on Amazon, not on Ebay, not here on Game Stop. I wonder how many people were duped by this cheap thing.

Did you buy this product for yourself or someone else? For me
I bought this for the Pro U capabilities but it, in fact, only works as a Wii Classic Controller Pro + Wiimote or JUST as a Wiimote. The description is very misleading. It felt like a great design in the hands and seemed to behave well as a CCP+W but that's not what I wanted. I attempted to use it on Black Ops II and it was recognized as a CCP but when I returned to the Wii U menu and opened up the Wii dashboard to play my VC games the thing bricked. I attempted to charge it but nothing seemed to respond. Blue lights didn't flash and in spite of my efforts it didn't show any signs of life. There was even a small reset button hole on the back that I attempted to press only to discover that there was no button in that button hole. Stay way, RUN DARE I SAY!!! PS: GameStop handled my return well. Yay for a good customer service experience!

Good and Bad
Posted 1/18/13
This controller works on everything from wii u games to virtual counsel games. The downside is that it does not stay synced and it takes more than 5 hours to completely charge. Also about two days after using it my wii u started to malfunction. I had to send it back to nintendo to be fixed. And you cant tell them that you think is a third party product that messed up your system because it void the warrenty.

This controller is the most amazing controller that could have been made for the WiiU/Wii.
In comparison to the Pro controller from Nintendo, this one offers a much better variety of options as of what it can do, and I personally think that the material it is made from feels much nicer when you're holding it.
Works as a WiiRemote, the Classic Controller, or you can obviously hold it as the retro controller. It has the speakers in it, like a wii remote, and it also has android/tablet compatibility. This controller is also compatible with the Wii!
Nintendo just got beaten on an accessory for their own system.
Now I can just hope that the Super Famicom one comes stateside as well.

This controller is a great find, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to any WiiU user.

HORRIBLE DO NOT BUY!
Posted 12/30/12
I purchased the controller at my local gamestop, and there was only 1 controller that arrived which happened to be my preorder ( not surprised ). I used it the first day and it worked somewhat, though it disconnected all the time. Next day I try to use it and the controller won't turn on no matter what. it is charged, and has been put to charge anyways and the led lights do not even turn on or blink. That being said I HIGHLY recommend against buying this controller.
I am going to go to gamestop to return it tomorrow and if the gamestop gives me issues we are going to have problems.
