XInput wrapping

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

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

Supports Streaming games from your TV via your network and works with the pro controller via built in bluetooth.
Can be used just to send input from a Pro Controller to a PC. Just go into Streaming options, hit y and disable video and audio streaming.
Supports lots of other controllers like DS3, DS4, Xbox One and 360.
Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit 𝗫 and disable video and audio streaming.
Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.

Mayflash Wireless Wii U Pro Controller Adapter

Has switch on side of adapter, allowing for both XInput and DirectInput modes natively. XInput should work with regular drivers, for rumble to work with DirectInput mode, drivers need to be downloaded from the manufacturers website.
Can connect 1 Pro Controller in XInput Mode and 4 Pro Controllers in DirectInput Mode.
All controllers that can be synced and work with regular Wii U should work, including third party ones.
Includes turbo mode. Pressing "Home" and button toggles turbo for that button. To disable turbo for all buttons press home button twice quickly.

Firmware updating

With latest firmware (V04, February 10, 2015) it's possible to switch button modes to either 𝗔=𝗔 (button letters matching) or 𝗕=𝗔 (button layout matching 360 controller). To do this press + (Start) and 𝗔 button for three seconds for 𝗔=𝗔 layout and + and 𝗕 buttons for three seconds for 𝗕=𝗔 layout.
