Hacking The WiiKey for $30.62 Shipped!!!

[markusf]

I hope someone from the Wiikey team will chime in on their site.
Whether it's to confirm the fake chips, or to say if it's just a revised PCB.

Is shipping free for shipping to the netherlands too?

 

[markusf]

Now the DealExtreme site is down too.
This is getting fishier by the day. ;

Oh geez I really hope Dealextreme's website isn't permanently down...this is turning into a huge worry for me because my stuff isn't even shipped yet.

Someone probably got pissed and DDoSed them. They've been pretty good otherwise. I doubt they plan to just run away.

I know! This is seriously scaring me. I got my Wiikey order cancelled ... but I have an order for an R4 (for a friend) and a camouflage lighter. Their customer support was really good though. They replied to my emails REALLY fast. And I see them making an effort to help in the Wiikey forum.

They claim the wiikey genuine. I hope they are being honest. If it turns out to be the real deal ... then I'll place an order ... if the site ever gets back up.

[DRACO]

i wonder if what kaitoldme is true ima email him again

 

[nuck44]

Ordered from Kai ... he said it's real ... also, I compared their pic to the real/clone pic and it seems to match up better to the real than the clone (do a photoshop ... change the size to be the same and then turn layer on/off to compare)...

 

[DRACO]

yeah i just got an email from him he said not to worry thst i will be severly satisfied wit the chip

 

[Renegade_R]

Wow, severely satisfied...Doesn't a Negative Times a Positive results in a negative

 

[DRACO]

lol yeah hopefully ittl turn out good ima email him again i might order one to be a gineau pig--any dares

Don't start flooding these guys with emails. Dealextreme is a two person operation and Kaidomain is a one person operation. They are real people actually with a real background...kinda interesting if you ask me. There is bound to be some temporary down time if its just two people.

Well they just updated their site and their answer is that the WiiKey chip is real but the PCB board isn't. I don't know what to think honestly but they are offering refunds. Also for people who want to keep theirs, they are taking $5 off if you ordered before March 20th.

 

[DRACO]

any one order te modchip yet?

 

[airrich]

mine was already shipped, but they gave me a refund anyways. i'm guessing they are trusting that i will send back the chip. they also said they would cover the shipping cost back to their usa location.

 

[DRACO]
