Simple product: works well.

A simple product: use a USB socket (> 1A) to charge your Wii U controller. I use an Anker power bank to turn it off when the kids forget to charge it. It works and offers operational flexibility, which is great. Note. My version came with a Wii U end built into the cable, not an adapter.

Pros
  • I'm crossing my fingers
Cons
  • Angry

No more weird investments required!

The cable no longer has the ugly attachments so it's now just 8 feet of amazing power for endless Wii U enjoyment from virtually anywhere! This is especially useful if you play Zelda Twilight Princess Remastered from your couch for a few hours and completely forget to charge and lose two hours of gameplay.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Some little things

Works as advertised

Wii U USB Charging Cable I have no problem as it is brand new, comes in the original box and charges perfectly from the power bank. One small catch is the length of the cable (9ft) as I use it very close to my computer monitor console so 3ft would be enough and 9ft is probably not enough if I'm gaming at a normal distance from the monitor. big screen TV.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • No

You may or may not be able to charge the 3DS.

New version, no adapter, so you can't charge the 3DS anymore. The old version is suitable for 3DS and an adapter connected to a gamepad. Now it just fits in the block. The cable does the job, but there's no way of knowing if you'll be getting a new or old version of this cable, but for some reason the product page mentions both without saying what you're getting in the mail. So if you're looking for a pad and 3DS cable, buy this cable knowing you won't be able to charge your 3DS.

Pros
  • Well made
Cons
  • Slightly torn

I was looking for a more durable one and I have to say

I first ordered a replacement Wii U cable when one of my kids accidentally broke the connector on part of the cable that came with our Wii U system would be really nice but with cats and two children i quickly realized that the original cable is too thin and prone to kinks etc. i was looking for a more durable one and have to say i am VERY happy with it so far. The cable is much thicker and it seems like you have to use wire cutters or something to damage it. If you have small children or pets,

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Works well, no adapter required

This cable is great for very long gaming sessions. My kit didn't include the adapters that others have mentioned. One end fits standard USB, the other end connects to the Wii U gamepad. This cable is long, so plug it directly into a USB power source. Avoid using in conjunction with a USB extension cable. Your voltage will drop and you risk damaging the Wii U gamepad.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Approximately

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

Happy Parent :) on Computers & Accessories

My local video game retailer has always told me that the Wii U tablet charger cannot be purchased separately as Nintendo doesn't sell one. . So when I googled the Wii U tablet charger and saw this, I was hooked. The kids broke the original because of the super thin cable, but this Nyko cable is a beast! And the best part is that with this cable I can charge it from the Wii U itself or any USB wall adapter that supports the appropriate amps. And the best? The cable is only $10 with a guarantee…

Pros
  • GOLS Certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
