Review on Controller Remote Silicon Gamepad Nintendo Retro Gaming & Microconsoles by Boss Spangler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No connection via Bluetooth

Spend an extra $3-4 on a Wii Revain Remote. This one couldn't be connected directly to anything I have. My WII couldn't connect to it, my PC via a generic Bluetooth adapter, my laptop via built-in Bluetooth 4.0, my old HP Pavilion laptop with Bluetooth 1.1 which should be running this remote (should still connect to 4.0 be able). Nothing the device could even see. Instead of returning the product for my own money, I decided to examine and disassemble it. The quality control is terrible and I found out why the wii mote wouldn't connect to anything. It doesn't broadcast its MAC address over Bluetooth, so it can't be discovered by anything other than the Wii in discovery mode, depending on when the Wii was made.

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
