#c_lang Vanilla is an alpha-stage, open-source Wii U gamepad clone that lets you use devices like Steam Deck, Linux PCs, Nintendo Switch, Android phones, Windows, or Raspberry Pi as a replacement controller with touchscreen, needing 5GHz Wi-Fi (check compatibility). Download official builds from GitHub releases or distro packages; use keyboard mappings (e.g., Z=A, Enter=Plus) or controllers, with shortcuts like F5 for recording. It benefits you by fixing broken gamepads, enabling off-TV play, and preserving Wii U games cheaply without Nintendo hardware. https://github.com/vanilla-wiiu/vanilla
