Replace your old or damaged MicroUSB and upgrade to modern convenience. This USB-C mod kit lets you charge your controller using any standard USB-C charger, including those for your smartphone or laptop. This board is compatible with the following models: Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller (WUP-005) PlayStation 3 DualShock Controller (2) FEATURES Charging your controller with: USB power banks USB-A chargers USB-C chargers USB-C PD chargers (normal speed, not fast) USB-A to USB-C cables USB-C to USB-C cables USB data support, like the original MiniUSB connector. (1) INCLUDED 1 flexible board. REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED) Tri-wing and Phillips screwdriver Soldering iron Tin Flux Desoldering pump Desoldering mesh Isopropyl alcohol NOTES (1) The connector supports data connection; however, the Wii U Pro Controller does not use it at all. It cannot function as a wired gamepad, neither before nor after the modification. Perhaps Nintendo wired the connector for potential firmware updates. The data connection can be used with the PlayStation 3 DualShock controller. The console and the computer detect the controller when it is connected (2) There are several controller models. Some have a Mini USB connector with through-hole pins, which is compatible with this mod. Others, such as the VX7 or VX8 versions, have a connector without through-hole pins, and these are not compatible. Check the installation guide before buying the product and make sure your connector is like the one shown in the photos. DOCUMENTATION Installation Guide PDF GitHub repository
