The Nintendo Wii U **Pro Controller: USB-C** is a custom board that lets you upgrade your controller by replacing the original MicroUSB connector with a modern, universal USB-C connector.

Replace your old or damaged MicroUSB and upgrade to modern convenience. This USB-C mod kit lets you charge your controller using any standard USB-C charger, including those for your smartphone or laptop.

This board is compatible with the following models:

• Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller (WUP-005)
• PlayStation 3 DualShock Controller (2)

FEATURES

• Charging your controller with:
  • USB power banks
  • USB-A chargers
  • USB-C chargers
  • USB-C PD chargers (normal speed, not fast)
  • USB-A to USB-C cables
  • USB-C to USB-C cables
• USB data support, like the original MiniUSB connector. (1)

INCLUDED

• 1 flexible board.

REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

• Tri-wing and Phillips screwdriver
• Soldering iron
• Tin
• Flux
• Desoldering pump
• Desoldering mesh
• Isopropyl alcohol

NOTES

(1) The connector supports data connection; however, the Wii U Pro Controller does not use it at all. It cannot function as a wired gamepad, neither before nor after the modification. Perhaps Nintendo wired the connector for potential firmware updates. The data connection can be used with the PlayStation 3 DualShock controller. The console and the computer detect the controller when it is connected.

(2) There are several controller models. Some have a Mini USB connector with through-hole pins, which is compatible with this mod. Others, such as the VX7 or VX8 versions, have a connector without through-hole pins, and these are not compatible. Check the installation guide before buying the product and make sure your connector is like the one shown in the photos.
