At time of posting, 8 bucks, free shipping. Ordered it monday morning, got it friday afternoon. I have been enjoying it with my wiimotes ever since! Just registered here in case anyone was looking for a value-conscious way to get bluetooth on their comp. |

| I have that same exact one. How did you get it to work? I can't get it to pair. |

Well all i did was install the software on the included CD, installed the dongle, then opened Blue Soliel. From there, click on My Bluetooth > Bluetooth Device discovery, then hit both buttons 1 and 2 on your Wiimote. after that it should be recognized. After that, you may need to right click on the icon which shows your wiimote, and either find the connect option, or if you dont see it, hit Refresh services, and once again hit 1 and 2 on the wiimote. Right click the icon again and hit connect > Bluetooth Human Interface Device service, and again, make sure to hit 1 and 2 on the wiimote. after it connects, the icon should turn green and the lights will continue to flash, at least until glovePIE runs a script that alters the LEDs.
EDIT: Also, you cannot get it to pair, but you can get it to connect. |

Nice deal, ordering one now to go with my new Wii (as of yesterday).
I'm looking forward to getting this and joining the Wiimote hacking efforts here
I still haven't decided whether the games (not counting Zelda, there aren't really many good ones) or the hacking potential excites me more about this system at the moment. |
