Connecting 4 Wii-Motes: Question about the Bluetooth-stick

[slax65]

Hello,

I have a small question about my Bluethooth-stick ..
I have the CN-523 from Sitecom ..
It supports up to 3Mbps - is this enough to play with 4 Wii-Motes?

Those mini/micro bluetooth dongles are bad choice for multi-Wiimotes
Even if it connected 4 Wiimotes , you would have lag issues

As above you could have issues would need to test to be sure. What I found is that I had lag issues at a distance if I didn't have good LOS.

If the dongle was plugged in at the back/front of the PC the signal was obstructed by the case/desk as I play over hdmi on the TV. So I used a usb extension cable and plugged the dongle into that by the TV which worked perfectly.

I do it exact the same way as you

Is there a recommended Bluetooth Stick for many Wii-motes?

Buy full size USB dongle that has an antenna
Mid-range Class 1 dongle

High-end Class 1 dongle (Not sure this will work or not . It's too expensive for me to buy and test)

Tips : Don't buy the latest Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0 , they may not work with your Wiimote . Either Bluetooth 2.0 or 2.1 is fine

can a BT 2.0 nano dongle work fine for just one user? (the wiimode and the other one with joystick)

Or do i too need a full size BT plug?

Choose a BT adapter version 2.1 .
To give you an example here's mine and it works just fine https://uk.hama.com/00104890/hama-nano-bluetooth-usb-adapter-version-21+edr-class2
