    I was just checking out dealextreme and I see htey have a lot of Wii acessories.

    I was wondering are they any good?
    Does anyone have any experience of them?

    I was looking for a decent charger and I saw some cheap motion plus stuff.

    Delivery is slow. I've had to wait over a month for parts to ship, on occasion, but expect at least 2 weeks and you're unlikely to be too put out by any unexpected delays. Been using them for years, only one package failed to arrive and they (eventually) re-dispatched with a couple of extra goodies for me. Their customer care is tough to deal with 'cause it's in Hong Kong, so they generally respond to your mail/ticket when you're asleep and vice versa. A conversation can take the guts of a week. If all else fails, if you're reasonable but firm in your complaint on the forum you usually get a result.

    I've bought a number of charging cables for my DS, SD cards, stylus, replacement touchscreen overlays and a replacement DS housing. Everything was as described and I've never bought anything that didn't turn out to be worth at least what I paid for it, which is usually not much! Haven't ever bought an AC adapter off them though.

    I have a couple of classic controllers from them, one is perfect, the other a shoulder button doesn't work. A couple of remotes, the buttons are much less responsive and one gets "forgotten" by the wii, definitely the worst of the controllers I have bought from them.

    Their Quality Control is iffy but for additional, occassionally used, extra controllers, they do the job ok. They are slow to deliver, but so far I have got everything I paid for. Not sure about their Motion Plus add ons.
