Build Quality
These controllers are like original ones, but with a cheap price. We tested the Wii controllers on the games Mario Kart, Wii Sports, Mario Galaxy and Mario Strikers Charged. The buttons, motion sensors, speaker, rumble pack and IR (infrared) receiver worked great. Sensibility worked equal to an original Wii controller.
We used these Wii controllers on a real Nintendo Wii and on a PC (using Dolphin emulator) together with 2 (two) others Wii controllers (originals). In both cases, the Wii Remotes worked great without any sync problem.
Some few users from Dealextreme forum said that they had problems with this product (some have managed to fix it), like an user who said that he brought 2 (two) items, but he just could synchronize one per time.
In general, almost everyone got satisfied with these Wii controllers, including us.
