My brother is coming over the holidays and I was wondering if someone could recommend me
some "cheap" choices for a Wii remote (motion plus not needed), used or non OEM.

price range: Less than $20 bucks.

These are... okay. My mother got them for her Wii U a while ago (When it first came out, actually) and they have their issues, like randomly losing connections to the batteries. But they're cheap and work well enough. They also glow, but there's a button to turn them off.

From my experience you just can't swing them around like a crazy person. Simple gestures work well enough. They also have Nun-Chucks.

They're my only experience with 3rd party Wiimotes, so there may be better alternatives.

Thanks,
I wonder how good the Dpad is.
