Supposedly the only real way you can get a Wii remote to work flawlessly with a PC is to make your own bluetooth adapter using the native chip from the Wii itself.

I was trying to take a bluetooth module from a Wii and solder it to a USB connector to use on my pc. A couple of the pins had to be powered by a 3.3v source, and two AA batteries should have worked. I just don't know what went wrong. When I connected the USB Windows didn't even recognize anything as plugged in.

It was either

I fried the chip by getting it too hot with the iron
My power supply wasn't working (I didn't connect anything to the ground side of the AA batteries, idk if that's "allowed", the chip has it's own ground pin out I connected to the USB. That or my rechargable batteries are too iffy)
I didn't keep the wires clean enough to make good enough contact (some of the wires I had burned the rubber off, probably a big no no)
I broke the chip when I had to use a decent amount of force to unplug it from the Wii (I used pliers)
I shorted some of the pins (I couldn't really tell, but it's sloppy)
Windows decided it was having a bad day and decided not to work

I have a second Wii I can take another chip from and try again tomorrow. I can give it another shot then. Until then I am just feeling like a lousy handiman. Also a console killer. These things take a lot of patience and I'm not a patient person.
