Hi,

i ordered one of these rings from ali and it arrived yesterday. It didn't work at first, but after a small repair it worked (a cable slipped out, see picture).

I had mine for about a week, it works fine 95% of the time, sometimes theres a reading error, I guess the connection between joycon and ringcon is more error prone on the 3rd party ringcon. Another small issue is that sometimes the ringcon in the game gets desynchronized with the real one, so if I'm just holding the ringcon the game thinks its pressed, only if I strech the ringcon outwards it appears not pressed. I fix that by going to the home menu for a second, then the game seems to recalibrate its baseline and its okay again. All in all its very usable, for the price at least. It has its quirks but there are easy ways around it. If it would be first party I would be disappointed, but for 25-30$ there is little to complain about imho.

Bought the Chinese control ring. After two weeks it is already broken. It doesn't recognize input strech correctly and loses tracking forcing me to disconnect and reconnect the joycon every 5 steps.
It has also lost it's round shape. It's more like an oval but only for an half on the right side.
It's basically un-playable
I will ask for a refund. Hope to have one.

Had the same question a while ago and also found feedback that the cheap knock-offs are just not as good as the original one, like user LowScore said, it's bending out of shape. Ended up buying the original bundle for like 65€.

I'm definetely going to buy the original (when the refund, if any, arrives) because the software is worth the money but I'm really curious to check what kind of differences there are between the oirginal one and the chinese. It's super annoying because the chinese one is well made, it's solid; it seems only lacking the Nintendo logo. Unfortunately, at least in my case, is dying for unknow reasons.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon

    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
