Should I Buy a Wii Remote or a Wii Remote Plus?

[LumpyArbuckle]

After buying a third-party remote that doesn't connect to my PC I want to buy a controller that is guaranteed to work, I would prefer the Wii Remote Plus controller however I hear that it's pretty hit or miss and may require additional setup to get working. Do the plus controllers work fine or are I better off getting the original controller and just using the Wii Motion Plus add-on when needed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I don't see why you'd have any problems with a genuine wiimote plus as long as you set it up properly (maybe some bluetooth adapters don't support it?).

Plus, it's nearly impossible to find a genuine Wiimote without Motion Plus built-in nowadays, as they were discontinued way back in 2010 with the release of the Wii Remote Plus...

They're everywhere on eBay.

If you want to try your luck, go ahead. Chances of getting a fake disguised as genuine are very high, though...

Are fakes that common? And then, how would one recognise an actual one from a fake? I already have an original Wiimote, I'd just like to know, if possible, how to distinguish real ones from copies.

They're not, he is just being paranoid.

I tried one and it didn't work, unfortunately.
