How does it work

UsendMii is an HTTP server delivering web content to the Wii U Internet Browser. The specialized JavaScript in the browser retrieves GamePad button states, which are then converted to JSON and sent to UsendMii via WebSocket protocol. POST requests are used in versions before 4.0.0.

Upon receiving this data, UsendMii simulates keystrokes, mouse motions, or button clicks.
