Im not a supporter of things cloned, i have an original wiikey in my machine and fit a few in friends machines which were originals too.
I received a free wiikey clone, which looked pretty well made, only a couple of very minor differences.
I thought i would install it in my spare wii just to try, assuming that it wouldnt work as well and neither would the Wiikey 1.2 setup disc work.
Everything Worked fine, Played a few hours non stop of re4, mario strikers multiplayer then some wii sports (used a DVD+R copy) with a bunch of friends and all worked fine, no issues.
Its a shame someone managed to copy the original so soon after release, hopefully 9/10 people go for the wiikey original in appreciation and peace of mind.
Considering the fact that the wiikey original is the price of just one single original game, if i didnt get the wiikey clone free, i would never have considered it as an option, id rather have an original i knew you could trust, but this goes to show, the clone works just as well.
