Controller: like the 3DS, the controller also comes with a stylus. But tapping thru its screen without stylus is workable and smooth on WII U.
Button: on the left side there's a circle pad analogue stick, same like 3DS. There's a classic Nintendo D-pad underneath that, while over on the right there's a secondary circle pad, four face buttons, two shoulder bumpers and two trigger buttons too. It's got rumble capability, and inside there's a gyroscope and accelerometer for motion-controlled gaming.
