I mean real quality i've heard something about the others, and this doesn't look that different. I guess it anything goes wrong you only lose a drive in the process.

i hate those mod chip pcb that are roughly cut, run your finger across it and get a fiberglass splinter, spend 10 min trying to pluck that thing out..., had that problem with Xeno PS. Duo3 gold and DMS4 were smooth and splinter free for me though.

How does the quicksolder work?

You just drop solder onto it?

It's just PCB board with solder points that line up with those on the Wii board and you have to solder the connections. I wouldn't get any ideas about it being "easier" than wired installs though...

If you're getting balls of solder you're going to screw up a quicksolder as well.

Quicksolder only means you have less points to solder (just direct from PCB to PCB). But seriously, doubling the number of points you have to solder from 4 or 5 to 8 or 10 isn't that big of a deal. Wires are easier to solder than a whole PCB. If you think you'll screw up installing 5 wires for a total of ten points, you're going to have a harder time installing using the quicksolder method.

Quicksolder =/= easy

I hate quick solder. It is so tempting to do becuase it is quick yet it such poor practice.

Argh. Is there a good place to put the chip if you do a wire install?

Yeah, right in the middle of the drive.

Alright, that's good to know. I've emailed both consolesource and wiikey asking about why they don't show up as a reseller but no reply...
