This controller gamepad is built as an exact replica of the orignial gamepad. It serves as an great additional gamepad or replacement gamepad for the WII U. It is easy to sync and holds a great charge. No one would be able to tell the difference in the purchase here and Nintendo. A charger cable also comes with this remote for you to use as a charger via USB charging. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is cosmetic only. When I removed the remote from the box it had some superficial scuffs and scratchs that made me question if it were new or used. After examining the back of the remote and etc, I decided it probably gets scuffs from sliding around in the box with no protection. Electronic wise, the product is excellent.
