This isn't always necessary - mine used to all snap back to 3 or lower, but one of them in particular is starting to not zero properly. I think it's as much an issue with controllers ageing (even if they do it super fast sometimes) as it is the controllers being bad in the first place.

Yeah it's pure luck.  My 360 controller is 4 years old and still snaps to 5. But it's always been like that.  You'd think for $60 MSRP they'd be more consistent though.

The bad one I have feels like it's got a tiny amount of dust or grit in it, so if I ever get around to opening it up and cleaning it out it might just spring back to life.

Source, please? If it's a genuine Nintendo Wiimote, then it'll work with Dolphin with zero issues, no exception. How you'll connect depend of the revision of the Wiimote, but all models will work either directly through a BT Dongle (if it's the older Wiimote without Motion Plus or the first models of Wii Remote Plus that identify as RVL-CNT-01), or through Toshiba BT Stack (if you have a new Wii Remote Plus that it's identified as RVL-CNT-01-TR and is running Windows -- in Linux and Mac they work without additional software) or by using Mayflash Dolphin Bar in mode 4 (any revision will work but currently the Dolphin Bar is supported only in Windows)...

Yeah tbh I haven't run into a bluetooth setup that didn't like my Wiimote.

I've tried two bluetooth adapters with Wiimotes. One cost like 20p and was DOA and the other was £1.00 and works fine.

Only 16 USD.

If you want to play GC games, theoretically any controller that Windows detects will work fine. If you don't have a real GC controller, a 360 controller is recommended.

If you do have a real GC controller, buy this

http://www.amazon.com/Mayflash-GameCube-Controller-Adapter-Port/dp/B00RSXRLUE/

This will provide the most accurate setup. (Other GC adapters and 360 controllers don't emulate the analog sticks *entirely* accurately).

As for your system, you're fine to play most games out there in Dolphin with IR settings. I have a 770 and I was able to run Zelda: Twilight Princess at 3x IR with 4x SSAA without slowdowns.

After about to purchase it, it wants $8 for shipping. Is there anywhere I can get it locally? (Fort Wayne)

if all of you can connect wiimote without issue then would you mind explain why so many people couldn't do that with thier genuine wiimote. Do we even need source ? There is countless threads appear before your eyes . I couldn't help them and i know you couldn't too

[mbc07]

Pretty sure it was due a crap BT Dongle that didn't meet the requirements (at least Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR plus Microsoft or Toshiba stack if you're on Windows) or unknow BT stack, not the Wiimote itself. And considering a Dolphin Bar setup, if it's a genuine wiimote then it's 100% success rate, same for BT dongle connection if you're using a proper stack...
