Hacking Dealextreme bluetooth dongles + wiimote?

[Jhongerkong]

Has anyone here bought a bluetooth dongle from dealextreme which works with the wiimote? I bought the $4 one but it didnt work so im doing a bit of research before I buy another.

Do you have to use bluesoleil and can you use it with glovepie? (sorry if its a n00b question)

Also, does the vista version only work with the wiimote? Cause the non-vista version is like $5

I got a dongle from Amazon Marketplace for 99p + 50p postage ... total of £1.49 ... and it works beautifully.

It's a USB connector, minus the metal housing that usually surrounds it ... will plug perfectly well into any USB slot.

So, which would be a better purchase? The one quoted or the non vista version of the one from the 2nd post? http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.83

EDIT: Never mind, I just went for the cheaper one. Thanks for the suggestions

Well i use one of these that costed me 3$. It costs 4$ now but it works.
Allthrough i had to hack the bluesoleil driver to make it work.
But thats really simple.

Yea I had to install bluesoleil to connect my wiimote to my computer. Glovepie worked.

I'm guessing the non-vista version should also work with the wiimote.
