So this is just a super simple tool I decided to write up because I was either blind or there was no simple way to just get the wiiu gamepad touchscreen to work as a mouse on PC that was at least somewhat recent and didnt have much lag, so I made my own:
https://github.com/FIX94/WiiUGamepadToMouse
See the "releases" tab for a executable and the README at the bottom for the button mappings and all that.

All you need to run on the WiiU side is USendMii-Client because I just used the same protocol as USendMii does for simplicity:
https://github.com/Crayon2000/UsendMii-Client

I hope that maybe some of you will find this useful for some applications, I havent tested it out too much so you'll see how much works with it. Not sure if this would run on anything besides windows, its written in C# and .Net Framework 3.5.
 
I am having some difficulty operating this software. I got UsendMii working fine, and I was able to start your software using administrator, and I read the readme, but it doesnt clarify how your program interfaces with UsendMii. I tried pressing start server and it says server started but its still not recieving input from either UsendMii or the Wii U, does it use the same IP adress in the internet browser or does this solution require to homebrew version of UsendMii? I am a little confused how to use it because I can't set the server IP in your program. How does it interface with UsendMii? I have got that working but the readme didnt say how to connect the wii-u gamepad input to the program. I can try and explain further if this doesnt make sense

I think he is not active on here anymore. Maybe just give the homebrew version a try and carefully read on github

You need to load the homebrew version on your console, set the computer IP on the wiiu and then load the software on your PC. It worked fine for me.
 
Appreciate that FIX94 isn't active here anymore and so I probably won't get any help on this but I figured it's worth a shot anyway. I'm doing the steps above in the exact order (Wii U Homebrew app launch -> Start server in Usendmii -> Start Gamepad to Mouse) but all that happens is GamepadToMouse just shuts itself down and closes. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've tried with both USendMii 0.3.0 and 1.0.0 - both provide the same result.
