Could anyone send me a link to a 3rd Party remote that is evidently working with Windows and Dolphin? Yes I am aware that a original Wiimote is the best way to go , but right now i'm just not willing to spend 120€+ for a pair of Wiimotes + Nunchuck. I checked the compatible hardware thread , ordered 2 wiimotes + nunchucks from lioncast which according to the thread should have worked , anyhow I couldn't even get those connected to Windows.
Not trying to sound rude though :p. I'm a huge fan of this Emulator and the community , anyhow some recent and decent recommendations concerning 3rd party remotes would be sweet.

Excact Model Specification or even better linking to an if possible European Online Store would be amazing.

Edit: before being accused of piracy , I do have a number of Wii games , also had a Wii a few years ago which sorta .. broke when it fell down the stairs. My mistake being i sold the wiimotes.

best regards
Instead of buying another two wiimotes and nunchuks (no small outlay), maybe buy another usb bluetooth dongle for $2?
My usb dongle works fine , purchased one with native toshiba stack and it works just great detecting e.g my cellphone.
wiimotes aren't your cellphone :p
While that is certainly true , i'm quite positive that the issue isn't the dongle , the issue more likely lays with the fake wiimotes. This guy (http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-lioncast-wii-remote?page=2) apparantly had the same issue , while using a different dongle. Neither my Cellphone or my PC were able to get any sort of signal from the wiimotes. So yeah , any recommendations on working ones besides the originals would be greatly appreciated.
really all 3rd party wii mote exhibit problems, If not, they only ever are 99%. Some game will have issues with them. You can check the compatibility threat ( sticky ) though.
yeah i was aware of that when buying them , but I didn't expect that I wouldn't even be able to connect them.
Bought a original Wiimote today and it works like a charm.

As it does with most all of us. Remember we are emulating things here, sort of guessing if you will. The test subjects are always OEM for simplicity sake. Thus, if the emulator used the OEM during dev, then your best bet is to use the OEM. I'm sure 3rd party device will get better as dolphin grows but its never recommended using them.
Yeah I know , don't get me wrong I'm realy not complaining about anything. Every time I use Dolphin i'm just amazed by the state of emulation of such an still current system.
then again my problem with the fake wiimotes wasn't even with dolphin , it was with windows/bluetooth. Sending them back anyhow , so no harm done.
Wrong Thread(EDIT)

Does this enable support for 3rd Party Controllers cus the one in the blog was confusing
