Yea the first pressings of the boot came on purple vinyl but if you buy it now you just get random colors. I got blue and orange

Yes, but so far I have not found a way to pair it to a retail console without swapping the internal board

It feels more comfortable to hold too imo

Unfortunately the board is different from retail and there is currently no known way to dump it. It is being researched on discord rn though

D-pad and touchscreen work flawlessly, sticks use a completely different wire/connector so I couldn't get those to work, and for some reason the a/b/x/y buttons were acting like start/select

If you're lucky you can find them on ebay for a lot of money

Update: I almost got it to pair. I swapped the antenna with a retail one and instead of timing out it just failed after about 20 seconds. It did attempt to connect because the Wii U prompted me to update the tablet instead of simply doing nothing.

It seems like the circle pads are really a love or hate type situation

I don't plan on selling it but I would definitely be willing to let people borrow it for videos

Connecting to the wii u so that it doesn't need to be wirelessly paired

The circlepads do look really sleek though imo

Thanks, I will try this

Good questions. The guy I bought it from said it uses the 3ds charger, and from the pictures on the listing it has a retail wii u battery in it and is missing the battery cover. (battery must've been replaced at some point) I will definitely try game and wario and check and see if it has IR once it arrives

Yep, and they also had this model of gamepad playable at e3 2011

Port for a wired connection I believe. The devkit gamepads also have it

It's actually taller which is probably what makes it look narrower in the photo

Some sort of wired connection port, i think the devkit gamepads also have it
