Key points

Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.
Cemu emulator has no native support for controller yet.[1]

Use with PC platforms

Libdrc is a library currently in development for application developers who want to use the capabilities of the Wii U GamePad in their software. It also provides the ability to simulate a Wii U GamePad to communicate with a Wii U.

Windows

USendMii

A program on your PC that captures controller inputs from a Wii U GamePad over a LAN.
Open the Wii U Web Browser to the URL given within the program, it will start reading inputs from the Pad.
Has GUI allowing for customizable controls.
Controls use keyboard mappings for buttons.
Some buttons do actions in the Wii U Web Browser and are pretty much unusable through this method. 𝗬 is one such button as it opens your bookmarks. Opening the input page in a new tab will help ensure most buttons will work.
The Wii U must be on and online enabled.

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Linux

drc-sim

DRC Sim Server is a utility for pairing a computer to a Wii U to emulate a gamepad. Open source application (server and client) allows video and audio streaming.
Play over the internet (server must be configured correctly).
Supports touch screen.
Supports virtual joystick and buttons.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.

Steam Link compatibility

Incompatible controller. Uses Wi-Fi connection which is not supported by Steam Link. [2]

Support In Games
