Wii controller IR not working

09-21-2015, 02:04 AM #1

so i'm trying to get my wiimote to work for my computer, but i can't get it to sense the Infrared bar. I'm using bluesoleil for my Bluetooth connection, and wiinmote to track the activity. i'm getting feedback when i move the controller, but nothing shows in the IR sensor box. i'm using two candles right now as an IR bar, but i have tried the one that comes with the wii. i'm running windows 10 64 bit. my Bluetooth dongle is a Kinivo BTD 400. Also, i don't care if your having the same problem, only post if you have ideas on how to fix it.

You don't have to order it from Amazon UK. There's a perfectly good Amazon US.

At some point Wiimotes were really poorly supported for users with BlueSoleil, so you might want to try switching to the built-in Windows bluetooth stack or, better still, the Toshiba stack, before you commit to buying something.
