They have the same external pieces, but until you take one apart nobody will ever know.

Maybe find some photos of dissasembled wii mote and dissasembled ds lite and check this
Ds lite dissasembly guide with photos is here

But I dont have any info on wii

I wanted to do this since Wiimote's d-pad is great but rarely used but DS is just oposite for d-pad usage and if I have this shitty d-pad as my Wiimote's I wouldnt bother since its rarely used, atleast heavily but I use DS's D-pad alot, mostly for GBA affairs.

yeah, but i dont own a Wiimote, I was asking that if people who disassembled both know its possible or not and then searching for a broken Wiimote.

They sure do look quite the same from the outside, except the wii's dpad is a bit taller. Even if it would be possible I don't know if the change would be too noticable, the wii's dpad isn't any special imo.

Also here's some wiimote pics http://diy.sickmods.net/Tutorials/Wii/Disassemble_Wiimote/ and http://nds-central.com/images/wiimote-buttons.jpg

Not really sure about this pic http://www.totalconsole.com/catalog/TC%20-...20-%20black.jpg but it seems the DS doesn't have that circle underneath the dpad. It might be just a difference for the custom case tho, I suggest you to research a bit more into how the DS's dpad looks .
