A micro USB port on the back lets you charge the controller, or use it wired with the included micro USB cable and the Wii U's front USB ports. The Power and Home buttons feel similar and are very close to each other, so you have to be careful when you want to access the Wii U's main menu. The Home, Power, and +/- buttons are small, recessed circular controls in the center of the gamepad, like on the Wii U gamepad and Wiimote. It's an unusual design when you're used to the other two systems, but I had little problem getting used to it.

DesignThe Pro Controller is a dual-analog gamepad available in black or white.
