Wii remotes connects with a Wii but won't connect to computer

[MattyPee]

Hey,

I'm using one of those fake Chinese 2 in 1 Motion Plus remotes and my computer can't see it at all. I've tried all the stacks (well Toshiba, BlueSoliel and Microsoft) and nothing works.
My internal bluetooth adapter is the Intel Centrino Wireless 3.0 + High Speed Adapter and I run Windows 7 x64

Anyways so I've used the remotes with a friend's Wii to see if they work (which they do) and I was just wondering what is wrong? Has anyone else had a similar problem?

If the only solution is to buy a bluetooth dongle, what is the cheapest one that will work with my remotes?

Thanks

Thanks & grtz

I have the same problem with a Lioncast Wiimote 2-in-1 - tried several bluetooth sticks/chips and stacks and OS (win7, win8, linux) no success - I was not able to "discover" the wiimote.

Hi,
i had also bought a Chinese Wiimote 2-in-1 Motion Plus and discovered the same as klonk with several sticks and stacks. It just won't connect to my computer but worked fine with the Wii Console (not to mention the creapy vibration motor of the fake one). The original remote connected within seconds.
The best you could do is to sent them back and get you money back as I did...if not too late. Learn from that experience and buy an original one.
