just thought I would share this as I found out the hard way.

if you get a screen protector snug up on the top left side of the wii u game pad it renders the buttons and touch screen inoperable.
thought it was kinda odd, just ruined a $7.50 screen ptorector and I got it on there PERFECT but apparently it was too close to something and was freaking it out.

took it off and it works fine.

and before people ask, no I didn't have it up under the edge and no there wasn't a speck of dust under the screen protector. there is a lot of crap under it now but it works, but it looks like crap too
