Been playing with an Xbox 360 controller for a while but decided I want to use an actual Wiimote.. Can anymore recommend a decently priced dongle?

I've seen cheaper ones but I decided to go with this Class I adapter, unsure if the Wiimote is Class I or Class II but I thought I'd pay an extra couple bucks just in case it was, should give a little leeway.

Code:
Class      Maximum Power    Operating Range
Class 1    100mW (20dBm)    100 meters
Class 2    2.5mW (4dBm)     10 meters
Class 3    1mW (0dBm)       1 meter
Im using http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026SKZO0 with toshiba stack and it worked fine for wiimotes, I had my friend bring over couple wiimotes and it seemed fine hooking more than one up. I dont know if they are built to last though i noticed a couple times recently after couple months owning had trouble connecting my ps3 controller to it but that might have been because the battery in the controller was dead/dying (which is the only time it happened).
def. get a class 1 because they are still only 10 dollars. mine is class 2 and it works fine... so class 1 can only be even better.
I got this for $2.65. Free shipping. I haven't tried it yet. Still waiting for the Wii remote to arrive, which has been here in town for 2 days now, but they are holding it, because it was budget shipping. It should be at my door tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll be able to try it.

And here are the Wiimote and wireless sensor bar I got for $15.99 and $6.75, including shipping.
