I'm not sure if that's an original controller but it should still work with dolphin regardless because all wiimotes connect to a wii in the same way, via a bluetooth connection and likewise they all connect to dolphin with a bluetooth connection. I have an unofficial wiimote and it still shows up as "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" when i add it as a new bluetooth device using the ms stack and it works perfectly in dolphin.
I think it's an unoffial one. The Wii logo on the bottom isn't there.
I hope it's working on my machine. I also have the problem that my original controller only connects successfully when I skip the windows update and pair it.

Same with my 2 wiimotes, they are unofficial and don't have the wii logo. And what exactly do you mean by "skip the windows update"?
I'll show you a screenshot when I'm home this afternoon.
the un official wiimotes stay bluetooth visible for a shorter amount of time (some times genuine do too) so when u pair the wii mote up with dolphin, you have to click on the windows device driver finder and make it skip looking for drivers on windows update and use local drivers (saves time so the wiimote dosent stop flashing)
I'm very sure it's an unofficial. I thought about buying it as well...
but decided to get a real nintendo one (even if it's round twice as expensive).
But if you wanna get one (unofficial), I would prefer a buying inclusive the MotionPlus:
like this
But before you doing that, think about the new WiiRemote+, which has it included!
I ordered the
WiiRemote+ (for 42€, now 49€) in combination of the
Nunchunk (for 14€, price stayed) some days ago.
You can see: the price is changing very fast, have a look after it... for example the
american one is for 39$ really cheap at the moment ... while the nunchunk (18$) is similar to the german one and less price flexible.
Good luck!
do I really need motionplus? I think it's just a way to earn more money. which games need it?
here's my screenshot from today:

I don't speak German but I can safely assume that Windows is updating the device drivers for your bluetooth adapter (assuming you're using a pc with a usb adapter). If this is what is happening and this is causing it to not work you should be able to disable this in the bluetooth device properties, or alternately you could unistall the driver and download the newest one manually so this update process doesn't occur. I found this step by step guide very helpful when I first connected my wiimotes to my pc -

And as for motion plus, games like wii sports resort, red steel 2, virtua tennis 2009 and the new zelda - zelda skyward sword (coming out this year) all support motion plus. If you can get a good bundle deal on a wiimote nunchuck and motion plus then i think it would be worth getting a motion plus. I have one and it works great with the aforementioned games.
Of course, buy it! many future games and allready appeared good titles (Spacecowboy called, like RedSteel2, Zelda:SS...) need Motion+!
That's only ~10€ different, If you really want to be uptodate and playable at wii at all, you would probably regret it (at least later)...
Here you can find the list of games using it:
