How To: Connect your Wiimote to your computer via Bluetooth

Step 1What you are going to need

What you are going to need
First, you need to find out if your computer has an internal Bluetooth adapter. While some desktop computers have an internal Blutooth adapter, most require an external Bluetooth dongle. Most recent laptops come with a built-in Bluetooth adapter. To check if you have a built-in adapter, look at your PC specifications.

Note, if you need a Bluetooth adapter, I recommend buying one here . That's the exact same one that I use, it's cheap and it comes with the BlueSoleil driver 2.6.0.8 on an installation disk.

If you don't have BlueSoleil already installed, you can download the latest BlueSoleil drivers from their website

Also, you're obviously going to need a Wiimote to connect to your computer!
