I saw these fairly cheap sets that appear to look as if they are official but was wondering if anyone has tried these via bluetooth using Dolphin.

I ordered one as well, it came about two days ago, while the feel of the wiimote felt genuine my disliking was with the home, + and - buttons. They felt very stiff and hard to press.

the connectivity: the connectivity dropped an inexcusable amount of times. I tried several sets of drivers, the windows stack, the toshiba and blue soleil.

Bluetooth Dongles: ASUS USB-BT211 and http://www.dealextreme.com/p/super-mini-...ible-11866

Blue Soleil: Incredibly slow and never connected with both adapters.

Toshiba: Did not connect nor recognize either bluetooth adapter.

Windows Stack with USB-BT211 and dealextreme dongle installed: with the generic wiimote the controller would connect and recognize in Dolphin however the controller would disconnect every 30 seconds or so, refreshing was possible but after so many refreshes the emulator would lock up.

Windows Stack with ASUS USB-BT211 & Genuine Wiimote: Connectivity was succesful, so far after 5 hours of gameplay not a single disconnect.

I highly recommend stay away from generic wiimotes if they are for use with a PC, with a Wii system you can probably get away with it and it may not drop, I have not tested it on the console though.
yeah...i had a lot of problems with a wiimote clone Sad and dolphin. The problem is that they disconnect often with some combination hw/sw. Microsoft bluetooth stack of Win7 64bit always disconnects.
I used 2 bluetooth pen...a Trust BT180 and that one from DX

I tried blusoleil but it get dirty my system and I don't like it...and it doesn't works. I tried Toshiba stack with both usb devices. I can say that it's working with the DX adapter and Toshiba 7.10.16 bluetooth stack! Even if i get some disconnects..but connection is much more stable!

I also just got one, my first try with a Wii remote on Dolphin.

I so far have used only Windows stack and most of the time it will connect okay, but then disconnect anywhere between 10 seconds to 3 mins of playing. Glad to know it is likely the generic remote doing this.

Still, the remote itself is pretty good for the price if it works well with the console itself okay but I didn't try that.

I'll have a quick try with the Toshiba stack, but I guess I'll be getting me a genuine remote and hopefully get the perfect WII emulation I'm after Smile

Genuine remote is definitely the way to go, so far 2 days use and not one disconnect. I don't think it's actually the Generic Wiimote disconnecting from the computer, just from the emulator itself. I don't blame the devs if they dont ever add support for third party wiimotes, it would definitely complicate things to an extent. The genuine one I now use is the black model with built-in motion plus. I haven't tried a game that uses it yet but I'm sure that works as well.
