## Description

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.
