Which Bluetooth adapter should I buy? - shyler - 02-28-2011

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.
