How does the pro controller connect to the gamepad

It connects directly to the wii u to charge. It does not connect to the game pad.

The game pad that comes with the system uses a propietary connection type USB cable. The pro controller uses a mini USB cable. You can't interchange the two. The pro controller connects wirelessly to the console, but uses the cable for charging; same as the game pad. The game pad and pro controller do not connect to each other.

The Wii U Pro Controller does not connect to anything but the console through the special mini-USB controller adapter, and that's mainly if you want to recharge the controller and use it while it's recharging. When it's fully recharged, it can be used wirelessly if it's properly synced with the Wii U game system.

Definitely not !!. The Wii U Pro controller is an ADDITIONAL controller to play with a friend or family toghether or to play shooter games in a more comfortable way. It is lighter and smaller than gamepad. The only negative thing....: no sound output, you have to hear it directly from gamepad.

The L & R buttons are mapped the the 2 face buttons farthest to the right on the controller. It works, but it obviously feels better if you can just connect a SNES controller to the R3

Like others have stated, there is no motion ability and that's likely why the Wii remotes/nunchuks are still usable on the system to allow that. The gamepad tablet has it, but not the Wii U Pro controller. It also begs the question why this controller is so expensive since it just has minimal rumble and Bluetooth connectivity.

You can use regular Wii controllers or the Wiiu pad that comes with the Wiiu

It connects where the chatpad connects, so you can only connect one or the other. You can connect a headset, into the chatpad, but it has a different connector, more like a regular head phone plug. This headset will only plug into the controller without the chatpad on.

you still have to plug in the USB-drive-shape connector, then just push the "analog" button in the middle of the gamepad, it will turn on.

You can use gamepad, pro controller, wii remote (with or without wheel), or classic controller (and pro).

It does work if you download "Gamepad Companion" or "Joystick Mapper." They can map the keyboard controls to the controller buttons. You can also customize the each button. I've used both of these apps and both of them work perfectly.

Hey Thomas, are you currently using this gamepad on windows 8.1? Are you having any issues with that?

Make sure the sides of the keypad are both touching the controller. Plug it in until you hear 3 clicks.

No, this device will only specifically work with Wii U Pro Controllers. But the same manufacturer probably has adapters for those, too!

No, it is also compatible with the new Wii U Pro controllers that are similar to XBox controllers. The old Wii controllers also work.

It does not attach to anything. It uses an internal accelerometer kind of like a Wii remote. It has worked in every game I have tried it in. You have to manually map the controls but it works great.

Yes, it does connect to the controller for xbox 360. There's several cords to connect first but it wasn't difficult. The volume controls didn't work though.
