Hey guys,

So, I'm having problems to connect the Wii U Pro Controller to my pc.
My default Windows Bluetooth stack found it, the WiiUProController.exe opens and shows the battery status but isn't reading the buttons.
Is that what happens when you are trying to use the defaut Windows Bluetooth stack?
I also have a wireless mouse that uses a Bluetooth stack, there's some way that I can configure it to read my WiiU Controller?

Thanks!

You need the Toshiba Bluetooth stack for the controller to work. Read the previous comments.
And I'm not sure what you mean with the mouse thing, but sounds like: no

Hello. I've use this program, and it works great with my PC games, except for Final Fantasy VII.
When I play it, the cursor keeps scrolling up and left when I'm not even touching the controller.
The game works if I disable Bluetooth, but I want to play FFVII with my pro controller.
Any ideas?

Also mouse wheel emulation and profiling would be good, keep up the good work!

The only other time it happened was on Visual Boy Advanced, but I fixed it. I tried the same thing with FFVII and it didn't work.

Yeah. But now I found somewhat of a solution. I connected the controller after starting the game. Thanks for the help and support.

Admittedly, I didn't read through the 24 pages between page 1 and this page, though I'm curious as to whether or not it's possible to make it connect via the USB cord? I realize this program is for connecting it via bluetooth, but for those without a Toshiba Bluetooth stack, like myself, the prospect does interest me.

No it is not possible. The micro usb on the Wii U Pro controller only accepts power - no information.

Ah, what a shame. Reminds me of the 360's wireless controllers. I guess my away-from-console use for them is still limited to smartphones and tablets. :lol:

Bluetooth dongles are pretty cheap... You can pick up a good one for $15-$20, and they will accept inputs from many bluetooth devices. Just make sure you don't buy a cheap one that will fall apart in a few days.

Hey guys.

I've been following this thread for a while hoping to be able to hook my own controller up. I finally got my Bluetooth adapter not that long ago and was excited to get this all set up. I got the Bluetooth stack to download, ran it, and hooked up a couple of my Wiimotes and phone to test it and worked great.

The problem I'm having now is getting my Pro Controller hooked up. It's a 3rd party controller, but as someone previously asked about it there shouldn't be a difference with 3rd party controllers as they should connect the same way. Any reason why mine won't connect to my PC besides it being 3rd party?

Thanks in advance.

Is it an actual Wii U Pro controller, or a "Wii U support!" controller?
because they made some shit that only acted like a WII pro controller or something, to ripoff people.

It's a 3rd party Pro Controller that works perfectly well with my Wii U games. I have pictures of it on Imgur if you'd like to see it. Apparently almost no one's heard of it but I've never had issues using it for games.
