Direct USB Adapter for Wii Classic Controller?
I saw this: http://code.google.com/p/wii-ext-to-usb/
And so I'm wondering if something like this could be made...
And yeah, I know that there's the Bluetooth/Glovepie method, but it seems like a very extensive process. There's also the matter of finding the right Bluetooth dongle, and needing to have a Wii-Mote to plug into and always having to re-detect the device everytime you wanna play. I'd much rather just have a direct Wii controller to USB adapter device. Would be nice if Mayflash or some other company were to make such an adapter...

So wait, people actually like the wii's classic controller?
I don't mind it myself, but I can think of other controllers I'd rather use.
I wouldn't go to all the effort of buying/making an adapter just to use a wii classic controller. Especially since I have a USB controller that I just plug in and it works.

Mayflash says they will release a wired model of the Wii Classic Controller to USB adapter in November. If the first version does well, they will make a wireless model that runs off AA batteries and uses an RF usb dongle (similar to the one used by Phillips wireless PS2 copycat controller) to send the inputs from the two controllers to the PC.
After months of waiting after my initial suggestion, Mayflash has finally made this:

Yes, I'm sure your e-mail was what prompted them, and they were not already hard at work on the device.I_am_dumb wrote:After months of waiting after my initial suggestion, Mayflash has finally made this:

^ Only did that since I thought one of you might try harassing Vicky or Torsten. The black unfinished prototype pic in the caps is enough to prove the convos happened... anyways, I got the adapter, and I'm pretty happy with what they made. It functions perfectly with the original flat Classic, as well as Pro, though I don't like the Pro as much as I thought I would.
Re: Direct USB Adapter for Wii Classic Controller?
heh, what timing, I pretty much just ordered one from play-asia along with a black classic controller pro. I look forward to it as I tend to like Nintendo's dpads better than sony's. (I've been using a PS1 controller attached to an adapter.)
EDIT: Does it come with that gay-pride flag on it already, or did you apply that?

Maybe these people were born without that part of their brain that lets you try different things to see if they work better. --Retsupurae

Don't forget the "peace sign" and Hello Kitty sticker on my case...
I've been having negative experiences with CC Pro. I've done atleast 4 exchanges and each one seems to have a defect where the DPad is loose in the housing and jostles around, and the tops of the sticks are loose and wobbly and there's not much resistance. Might just be a bad production run or something, but for now I'm sticking to my flat CC's since everything on them is solid. DPad doesn't slide around and the sticks don't wobble and actually have good spring to them.
