Hello team,

I have a genuine Wii Remote Motion Plus that I've been using with Dolphin lately and had no problems. Now I'm in the market for a second Wii Remote, this remote is for the wifey because we want to play tennis together on Wii Sports. I'm going for affordable on this one because I don't want to bury a hole on my wallet and since I am also needing a nunchuck my question is has anyone have any suggestions on a cheap wii mote + nunchuck combo that they recommend with Dolphin? I understand that going cheap may cause issues with Dolphin but I am looking for any cheap ones that has worked well for them. Any suggestions or recommendations that anyone has had would greatly help a fellow supporter of Dolphin =)

Thanks guys.

Sorry, I can't give you a straight answer. But I can tell you my experience.
When I tried Dolphin I only wanted to buy a cheap controller to test it. I bought a cheap one with nunchuck from ebay. It works perfectly and I had so much fun that I bought another one, Wii mote only (from other seller). I had less luck with the second one. Usually, I can start the game. But somewhere in the middle of the game it stops responding although it's still connected :-(

Then I thought that maybe just bad luck because my 1st one is fine. So I want to try my luck again. Then I thought why not looking for one with motion plus built-in. I bought the 3rd one with motion+ and I bought a Toshiba BT adapter too :-) I still can't get my PC to connect to my 3rd Wii mote. This time even worse :-(

By any chance do you happen to still have the seller info. for the first one you bought? It sounds like trial and error with so many different sellers that either mostly you'll get one that works or one that doesn't and I don't want to spend time and money on this.

I bought it Nov 2010. I doubt you can get the same product even from the same seller:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320456297399 (very old, might be broken)
I paid AU$19.99
I won't recommend including charger and battery. The batteries are not sitting well on the charger. I don't use it often and they are flat when I need them. So I have to plan a day ahead :-(
Now I rather use my own rechargeable AA. They are always ready when I need them.
