Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Afterglow WiiU Controller Pro

Alright guys, im looking at buying some new controllers for the WiiU's, one for me and one for my partners son for when his mates come around, i was going to buy him an official white one as his WiiU is white, but i think they have been discontinued now and are a little pricey, anyway i found the Afterglow controller which i think he will like and think is cool because of the lights inside and which will run me about £24 each.

I was wondering if anyone else has one and could advise what the quality is like and how long the battery lasts ect. Or if you own an Afterglow controller on one of the other systems, thanks :)

piss poor quality, i know the guy that designed the series for PDP.

You're better off going with a pre-owned official controller.

Poor in what way?

I saw a white one on Amazon and it was been sold for £128 :/

under 37 : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Wii-Pro-Controller-Black/dp/B009ACALCQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409502184&sr=8-1&keywords=wiiu+pro+controller

White is expensive because you can't get them in uk now.
You can get one imported from japan for under 30, though.

The clones of the first party are miles better than the afterglow one.
