I searched the forum, but I didn't see anything.

I saw in Wal-Mart the other day that Nyko had built a Wii remote clone.  I wondered if anyone has tried to use this item in place of a wii remote for whiteboard projects, and if so, if they have noticed any reasons one would be better than the other.  Does anyone know of such an experiment?

I got a Nyko wand from Walmart - $10 cheaper.  The Nyko wand requires a passkey when pairing via Bluetooth.  There is no documentation with the wand and Nyko tech support does not know the passkey.  Too bad for them; this is the start of a new school year, many schools are living with reduced budgets while trying to keep up technologically.  I'm returning the wand.  Nintendo will get my money -- not Nyko.

Update: I did purchase the Wiimote, and I did get it working, although not optimally yet.  The problem I was having with the Nyko requiring a passkey was because I was using the BT software that came with the adapter.  I uninstalled it and tried the Microsoft drivers, and that allowed me to get around the passkey obstacle.  So the Nyko may have worked too with the Microsoft BT drivers.
