Hacking Wii U Pro controller and PC

[Ghork]

Hello, does anyone know of any way to use the pro controller with your pc?
I've connected it so it's recognized as a gaming unit. With the wii mote one would use a software
like GlovePIE to map the buttons, however I guess GlovePIE has some special support for wiimotes
as it won't take any button presses on this controller as input.
I know a bit of programming but I have no idea how one would recognize input like this.

Is all I can do sit back and wait for something to come?

Yes GlovePIE has specific code in it for wiimotes, which is why you need to use it in the first place.

Also this is on the front page.

Thats for the gamepad, i think hes asking about the pro control, which im honestly surprised it doesnt work, or at least hasnt been quickly made to work on PC.

Yeah, that's kind of why I was reminded, but that's for the gamepad rather than the wii u pro controller, as zanfire said,
and I'm looking for a way to connect it directly to the pc.

I don't have a bt dongle OR the Wii U Pro Controller, otherwise I'd be happy to start working on it. Best of luck to whomever decides to make this, though!

I'd gladly get a look into it if I had any idea about how to read inputs from these kind of devices. I'd even consider donating money to whoever starts working on this...
