How to connect wii remote to Asus Eee PC T91?

I've just bought myself a wii remote to use with my Eee PC T91 laptop, so I can play osu! with it and other games. However, when I try to pair the wii remote with my laptop via the on-board bluetooth adapter it asks me for a passkey, and there's no option to disable or skip past it.


I have searched on google for a solution to this problem, and some Eee PC users have managed to get the wii remote to connect to their computer by uninstalling the default bluetooth drivers and then installing a different version of the driver. They were then able to get the wii remote to connect via bluetooth without a passkey, since the option to disable the passkey was with the old/new version of the driver that they had installed. However, some T91 users mentioned that they tried installing the drivers recommended for use with the Eee PC and they were still unable to get the wii remote to work with their T91 laptops. Unfortunately, no one else responded on the forum with a solution for the T91 users.

Is there a way I can resolve the passkey issue with my T91's on-board bluetooth adapter, is there another driver I can install? Or will I have to buy a bluetooth USB dongle to get the wii remote to work with my laptop? If I have to buy a bluetooth USB dongle, can you recommend any good brands that I can purchase that will work with the wii remote?

Thanks. :)

Most bluetooth dongles should work; it's pretty easy to check what device types are included in the dongle's supported bluetooth stack. And bluetooth dongles range from like 5-20 dollars, so they're cheap.

Try a different driver.

or try pirating BlueSoleil the free version is restricted to 2 MB trafic which sucks.

I tried it and it stopped working after about 2 hours

I've tried the Hardware Check Tool on my laptop, and my bluetooth hardware isn't compatible with BlueSoleil. Can anyone on here recommend any bluetooth USB dongles that will work with BlueSoleil, that are sold on Amazon (UK)?

Do you know if the Belkin USB dongles at the top of the Amazon UK page are compatible with BlueSoleil?
