The Classic Controller Pro is a redesigned version of the original Wii Classic Controller, and will eventually replace them on store shelves.   The original Classic Controller was in the mold of the Super Nintendo controller and had very little in terms of curves and comfort, so players were forced to squeeze their hands together in order to use it.   While the controller offered four shoulder buttons, two of them were hard to use.   In addition, the controller cord came out of the bottom of the controller.   The Classic Controller Pro has improved on all of these areas.

The Classic Controller Pro is more in the mold of a Dualshock controller with wingtips on the sides for players to grip.   The grip of the controller is more akin to an Xbox 360 controller, so it doesn’t slip as much, especially with the additional curves that allow your hands to contort to the controller more naturally, which makes for a more comfortable controller.   The two hard to reach shoulder buttons from the previous incarnation are now behind the other two for a more standard controller setup.   Also like most controllers, the Classic Controller Pro’s cord now comes out of the top instead of the bottom.

Overall, the design is leaps and bounds above the standard Classic Controller, and if you use the Classic Controller a lot, or were looking to get a Classic Controller, you should definitely pick this up and enjoy the difference.
