Doesn't work on PC

If you're someone like me, that wants to play Fatal Frame 4 (Wii game) on the Dolphin Emulator, do NOT buy this. Your PC will not recognize/connect to this third party Wiimote. You can change your pc's Bluetooth driver to fit your needs, but is that what you really want? N o . Plain and simple. Trust me, it's been a nightmare to make this work with my pc since day one. Although this works great with my brother's Wii U, it is not what I needed/wanted it for. If you own a Wii/Wii U console, buy…

Pros
  • The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo pack is an excellent gift for gamers of all levels, from beginners to seasoned pros
Cons
  • The product is not inclusive of all types of gamers

Super turn around time

We ordered this remote and received it quickly, but could not get t to sync with our unit, we contacted amazon and the replacement came in 3 days , the fastest service we have had in quite awhile, was very happy for that and the product is in great condt, we played with it thru the afternoon and no issues

Pros
  • Built-in Motions plus.It can greatly enhance the immersive feeling.
Cons
  • The controllers require constant maintenance due to their fragility

Comparable to original controllers so far.

Motion detection is good. The sound coming from the units is a little annoying, but that MAY be adjustable. I’ve only had them for a few days.

Pros
  • The controllers provide a social gaming experience, as they can be used by multiple players at once
Cons
  • The controllers do not have a gyroscope for better movement tracking

Pretty awesome! *Update issue*

Firstly I have never used an official Nintendo wiimote as this is my first time using a wiimote ever. This wiimote/nunchuck seems like very good quality! It's accurate, feels solid in my hand and I've had no issues so far. Also surprisingly I really like the silicone grip it came with which I thought I wouldn't use. I haven't tested the motion plus but from a review I watched it works. (Once I get Wii Sports Resort if motion plus doesn't work i'll update the review *update tested in Red Steel 2

Pros
  • The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo pack is affordably priced, making it accessible to more players
Cons
  • The controllers are not practical for mobile gaming

Almost like OEM, even with accessories.Connection tips.

Update - the nunchuk really doesn't feel as sturdy as the OEM ones, switch action isn't as clean.We have a Wii, and it's nice to have extra remotes for things like the rowing game in Wii Sports and also tennis. This remote functions the same as the original remotes, no difference noticed. There is a difference in texture - this has less graining on the handle than the original.The battery door is the same - we have aftermarket rechargeable battery packs and they fit and work the same as on the…

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • The controllers are not ergonomic and can cause hand fatigue

Well, They Work… for my opinion

Only one of the two that came in worked properly. Motion control & detection was fine for one of them. The second one, however, didn’t work as great. The motion detection was all jittery when I would hold the remote steady.

Pros
  • The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo pack allows for immersive and interactive gameplay that is unparalleled
Cons
  • The controllers are not customizable with LED lights or skins

Eats up batteries and poor performance

I will be returning these. Unlike the Nintendo controllers, these don't turn off when the WiiU is turned off, so a new set of batteries is required almost every time. Additionally, they complained the button response was slow.

Pros
  • Controllers
Cons
  • The controllers are not responsive enough for competitive gameplay

SECOND TIME IS THE CHARM

THESE WERE A REPLACEMENT FOR THE FIRST SET I PURCHASED. THE FIRST ONES WERE HORRIBLE, THEY WOULD NOT CALIBRATE AND WERE ALMOST COMPLETE UNUSABLE. APPARENTLY THOUGH, IT WAS FUN FOR EVERYONE ELSE TO WATCH ME TRY TO USE THEM WITH MY GRANDSON, CLEARLY I'M HYSTERICAL WHEN I AM A RAGING MADMAN!THE REPLACEMENT SET WORK MUCH BETTER AND NOW MAKE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES WITH MY GRANDSON MUCH LESS FRUSTRATING! THANK YOU!

Pros
  • EASY SYNC STEPS -- Connect to the console simply by pressing the small button on the controller (where the batteries go) then push the red button on the Wii console (under the little door), then you’re able to synchronize with Nintendo Wii.
Cons
  • The controllers do not have a touch screen or stylus

Good deal on quality product

We broke out the old Wii from storage. It really is amazing how simplistically fun some of those games were. Of course the controllers that we saved were beat up and a mix of the original and motion plus. So I got these and do far they have worked well. They seem to be well made and come with the controller covers which was a nice add. Sync’d easily and they seem to work fine. Obviously it’s older technology so the controls aren’t as clean as newer things but that’s what happens when you deal…

Pros
  • The cord connecting the Nunchuck to the Wii Remote is long enough for players to sit comfortably at a distance from their screen
Cons
  • The controllers are not user-friendly for those with disabilities

Get gaming with these

Solid remote for Wii, speaker and vibration unit just a tad lack luster. Vibration causes a loose plastic sound and speakers in both units crackle with static.Batteries should coward in fear (3 days maybe 4 days max use). Showed up nicely packed. Durable outer shell construction and overall weight and feel are great.

Pros
  • works as well as original remote. getting it sit in charger properly is a bit of a problem
Cons
  • The controllers frequently disconnect from the console

Not Wii but work on my review.

Got these as back up remotes or for when little kids are using them. They work as they should they do not have the weight of an actual Wii, brand but they do work. Do not fit all charging docks as smooth as the actual Wii brand but do fit and work. The nunchucks feel light and cheap and the cords are a bit stiff and flimsy but they do work.

Pros
  • Nintendo Systems
Cons
  • The controllers are not intuitive for certain game genres like first-person shooters

Awesome Wii replacement for the price

Well the verdict is still out on the battery life but other than that…the remote was a second remote for my daughter and she loves it.no issues with detection or movement. great value and price. definitely worth the buy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pros
  • Remote had no problems pairing with my WiiU. Package arrived undamaged.
Cons
  • The Nunchuck joystick is not precise and often sticks

Best value - my new review

This is the best value you can ever get from a third-party Wii remote. It comes with built in Wii MotionPlus, just as good as the Nintendo Wii remotes. This easily synced up to my Wii, and it works just as good as the official Wii remotes I have. There are also a few problems, though. Sometimes in the motion-sensitive games, it tells me that I don't have the MotionPlus and I have to insert the MotionPlus extension to continue. If you are willing to buy a new Wii remote, but if you don't want to

Pros
  • The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo pack allows for seamless gameplay without any lag time
Cons
  • The controllers are not suitable for gaming on large screens

For some reason, the master unit would not accept the device's motion signals, don't know why but I had the external motions from previous units, attached them to these devices, and it synched, becoming fully functional in a program with the master unit. I would not recommend this.

Pros
  • The controllers have a long-lasting battery life, meaning fewer interruptions during gameplay
Cons
  • The product is too cumbersome for travel purposes

Great replacement for original remote.

I mistakenly left the batteries nn my original remote and the batteries leaked. I purchased this remote as a replacement and it works just like my oem remote.

Pros
  • The Wii Remote and Nunchuck combo pack has a sleek and modern design that complements any gaming setup
Cons
  • The product is overrated and does not live up to its potential

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Synchronized with Wii easily

These synchronize easily enough. Normal batteries don’t last too long. They may seem a little too sensitive, but I’ve never played with an OEM Nintendo remote to compare.

Pros
  • got exactly what i ordered. thanks
Cons
  • Very visible scratches around control

Wildly out of control with Mario Kart

Seemed to work good at first but my daughter was complaining it goes out of control with Mario Kart. I tried and verified it's nearly impossible to use, randomly driving you all over the place. Seems to work with the sports games but main reason for purchase was Mario Kart so only 2 stars.

Pros
  • The size and shape of the controllers provide easy and intuitive controls for gamers of all ages
Cons
  • The product is not worth the investment for occasional gamers

Works but beware best in my review

Was excited to buy this my girlfriend loves the color pink and I only had one controller and we always had to share it. Second day having it and the thing broke on her as she was walking up to the console to turn it on ! Only her second time using it . I had to melt part of it back together with a lighter for her . ( it broke in two places )

Pros
  • Perfect for gaming. Slow to detect some actions. Otherwise works fabulous and priced perfectly.
Cons
  • The controllers have no speaker or headphone jack

My boys and I are disappointed that these controllers didn't work out. We received them yesterday, and we just started using them today, and they're already unplayable. The motion detection is not right and it always disconnects between plays. We had to keep syncing them every hour.

Pros
  • The Motion Plus technology provides more sensitive and precise controls, leading to a more satisfying gaming experience
Cons
  • The controllers are not compatible with most gaming headsets

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as accurate as the original

This is definitely not as good as the original with the motion tracking. The feel is great and also has the motion plus is incorporated so you don't need to purchase the attachment for wii sports resort because we all know that's why you are buying this product.

Pros
  • The color, they work and they’re easy to set up.
Cons
  • The controls are difficult to use for beginners
