Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Wii U Pro Controller Not Working

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:33:34 -0700

Okay so I've had a wii u pro controller for over a month, and its been working fine. Until an hour ago, when the wii u console froze, I had to unplug the console and replug it into the power outlet. When I turned the wii back on, the wii u pro controller stopped working. Although the wii u gamepad worked perfectly. It would still show a red light to indicate that it is charging, but I click a button on the controller and the 4 blue lights don't come on(like they usually do). So please can someone help me.

#1 yes

#2 no

#3 yes

blue light battery level

red-charging

Problem is, only light on is red(won't work, tried charging, nothing happened)

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Left Analog Stick not working properly

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:33:39 -0700

I was playing Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Hyrule Warriors during my winter vacations, when I wanted to play Hyrule Warriors, everything was fine but when I let go of the left analog stock (like say... let it go from up or down directions) the character (Young Link) did a mini-step to the left, I did this many times and 9/10 did move to the left a little bit. Then I tried Smash Bros., I dashed and let go of the stick and the character (Mario) faced left, again, I tried several times and now 8/10 faced left.

What can I do to fix this?

I already tried Re-syncing the controller and resetting it by pressing A, B, + & - at the same time, but none of the methods worked

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Moving right analog stick inteferes with the left.

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:34:02 -0700

Just within the last couple of weeks, when I have been playing a game like Binding of Isaac, I've found that the right analog stick is affecting the performance of the left. In particular, when going down on the right stick, going up on the left stick is slowed way down. There's a smaller effect when going up on the right stick and left on the left stick. I've tried resynching multiple times, and I've got a PC adapter, and it happens there as well. I went to the HTML5 gamepad tester, and sure enough, when pointing the right stick down, the most the left stick shows pointing up is about .75, rather than the 1.0 it's supposed to be.

You would think that would mean that moving the right stick down was also moving the left stick down, but that isn't the case. If I'm just using one stick at a time, there are no issues. It's only when both sticks are in use that the problem starts.

If anyone knows how one might fix this, I'd really appreciate it!

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Wii U Pro Controller won’t charge

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:34:20 -0700

I bought a pro controller off eBay and it came in today and was dead when it arrived. I plugged my PS3 mini usb cable into my switch dock and then plugged in the controller. It started charging fine so I went about my day and came to check on it a while later to find the charging indicator LED was off despite the controller not being fully charged yet. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and that seemed to do the trick, so I just had to keep doing this, but everytime I plugged it back in, the time it would charge before the light when off kept getting shorter and shorter until eventually I tried plugging it into a wall outlet using a phone charging block because I read online that can help with charging it. When I did this, the charge light flashed and it wouldn’t charge at all, and now when I plug it into anything that’s what happens, even the Wii U. The charging indicator blinks once really fast and turns back off and the controller doesn’t charge. I can however still use the controller directly plugged into the Wii U like a normal USB wired controller. When I do this, it looks in the Wii U menu as if the controller is charging even though it isn’t. If there’s any information you need that could help you help me please don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll respond ASAP. Thank you all in advance for the help :)

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Wii U Pro Controller will not do anything at all

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:34:18 -0700

I recently just had a Wii U Pro Controller delivered to me which was faulty. It’s Left Analog Stick had a weird problem (it would stay in up position, is easier to push up) and I also noticed the sticks were heavy and it wouldn’t sync. The four blue L.E.Ds were not working. Luckily it did charge, but it didn’t seem it could hold one.

I got a refund and now I have a new problem. The controller won’t do anything, not even charge. Everything works as intended by Nintendo. The problem is: When I press the HOME Button, nothing happens. When I press the SYNC Button, nothing happens. When I charge the controller, nothing happens. What’s supposed to happen is: When you hit the HOME Button, it shows the controller’s battery level in four blue L.E.Ds. When you hit the SYNC button, it should look for the nearest Wii U using Bluetooth. When you charge the controller, a orange light should appear at the top.

Please help me. This is the second faulty controller I’ve ordered and I have been given 2. In the last problem I saw a forum but it didn’t cover my problem. In this problem I saw the same forum and it still didn’t cover my problem. I ordered both the controllers 2nd hand from webuy.com (the first one a delivery, the second one a refund) and both of them have their own problems. If you’ve had this problem too, please tell me.

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Left stick default is "left direction"

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:34:00 -0700

When playing games or navigating the Wii U menu, the left stick of BOTH of our Pro Controllers defaults to the left instead of not moving. This means to correct it we have to push in the opposite direction (right) just to go straight in game. It makes menus a nightmare. Also, we never really are ever able to turn right in Mario Kart 8...

Please help! We used them for a couple months without any problems before this just happened out of the blue.

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Left Analog Stick not registering clicks

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:34:14 -0700

I dropped my Wii U Pro Controller today. It fell buttons-side down on the ground.

Now the left analog stick isn't clickable anymore. I can still tilt it in different directions and it does register that, but when I press it down, it goes in further than it should, also not making the satisfying click noise it used to make. It doesn't register it being pressed down.

Would it be reasonable to attempt to fix it or would I be better off buying a new controller? If fixing it is reasonable, how would I go about doing that?

I’ve been playing Breath of the Wild on my Wii U and whenever I go to sneak up on somebody I go to push in my L stick, but for some reason it doesn’t register. It clicks normally and nothing looks broken to me. This has been happening for about 3-4 days now. If anyone knows how to fix this that would be wonderful.

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: Using the left stick moves the right stick too. Waa?

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:33:58 -0700

After about a couple months of use my Wii U Pro controller started having this problem where if I press the left analog stick to the left it acts like the right stick is simultaneously being pressed down. Similarly, pressing the left stick to the right also presses the the right stick up. Moving the right stick does not produce the opposite effect.

I've tried recalibration the sticks but this feels more like a defect than a simple calibration issue.

Example:

When playing StarFox Zero (co-op mode) if I bank to the left (L-Stick Left) it also puts on the breaks (R-Stick Down)

Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller: How do I replace rubber cover of my analog stick?

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:33:53 -0700

So I was playing SSB4 when I realized that I had worn a hole in the rubber grip on my left control stick. So i took off the rubber part and left the bare plastic. Playing without good grip isn't an option for me as I play competitively. However, I do not wish to buy a new one. I'm not quite sure on what to do; whether it'd be to get a grip, get a new analog stick, order an exact replica of the same part, or just get a new controller. I use a PDP Afterglow Pro Controller. Please help me.
