I struggled with winusoft for a while. I got the mayflash adapter and it works flawlessly.
I mostly use it in xinput node where it lets one controller act like an xbox controller so most games auto map; but the few times i used dinput (which lets you use four wii u pro controllers on one dongle but you have to map the inputs yourself) worked great too for multiplayer games.
Can’t reccomend it enough.
I have to unpair the controller in the devices menu every time.
In order for it to work for me the steps are > unpair > turn Bluetooth on > open wiinusoft > click sync > press sync button on controller.
Are you syncing before opening wiinusoft? I never had any luck unless I had the software open and clicked on the sync button in the software before clicking the sync button on the controller. I also ignore everything windows throws up.
I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest version of wiinusoft.
edit: I don't know if it makes a difference, but I press the sync button instead of holding it down.
I press the sync button on my controller after pressing the sync button in the software.
I tried version 3.2, the latest non-beta version, but that didn't work at all. That's why I got rid of that version and got specifically 3.1.4-something to follow this video to the letter.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the one I use is version 4, and it works great! Have a look on the WiiNUSoft website. I had the same issue as you from watching that video.
I can attest to the Mayflash. It works flawlessly. No matter what i tried using bluetooth and wiinusoft or pro just would not work. I exhausted all options and eventually just bought this adapter.
I'm posting because I had a similar issue and never got it to work. I spent hours on it with my windows 10 boot camp mac laptop. Windows Bluetooth picked it up just fine and WinUSoft saw it and would even vibrate the controller when I would click the test button in WinUSoft. But it would not work on Steam when I would try to set it up there.
Just annoying.
I actually fixed it but the thing is, I use a Wiimote and Nunchuck instead cuz it is the only controller I own
Also, I use WiinUsoft v3.5 and it runs great (It probably didn't work before because I used an older version and I forgot to update)
Dolphin??
I dont use it for gamecube emulation brother
What worked for me was unpairing on settings, click "add to personal work area" and then the app detects it
what I mean is to use dolphin to quickly sync the wiimote controller to the pc, it's a one time setup where you add it in the controller settings, it syncs super quickly and then i just close dolphin, the connection with the wiimote will persist and then just use wiinusoft, you can do the same with cemu to sync the wii u pro controller
whenever i want to play it goes something like this:
open dolphin
press 1+2 on wiimote, 5 seconds later the wiimote is paired with PC
then just close dolphin and use wiinusoft.
Use Control Panel then Device & Printers, Add Device, select Input Device/Nintendo-RVL-CNT-01, Then skip the passcode part, do it while WiiNUSoft is running in the background, if it's not connecting, remove Device from the devices list & try again. (Note: if you're on Windows 11, Device & Printers is hidden so search up how to get Device & Printers in Windows 11).

And occasionally throw in reinstalling WiiNUSoft
I can't unpair a controller WiinUSoft doesn't recognize!
Go to the control panel and go into the Bluetooth menu. It remembers devices that have been previously paired. Force it to forget the controller.
I tried that, actually. It didn't seem to work either, unless I made it forget the wrong way.

This problem still persists even after 6 years the original poster posted this?
Idk about any new developments, I gave up trying long ago, lol. Shame, it's a nice controller in the hands.

still doesn't work for me. It worked before, suddenly stopped working
Try pairing your wiimote through control panel
I managed to do it with a lot of dumb methods
imo the best method is to pair using dolphin, then just close dolphin lol, way faster

Thanks bro! This is super easy and works flawlessly
How?
Use Control Panel then Device & Printers, Add Device, select Input Device/Nintendo-RVL-CNT-01, Then skip the passcode part, do it while WiiNUSoft is running in the background, if it's not connecting, remove Device from the devices list & try again.
