A few weeks ago I ordered 2 extra Wii remotes. The first ones I got were Japanese and the buttons didn't work well. I returned them.

This time they sent me 2 remotes again. Not Wiimotes, but Wümotes. Chinese fakes! It's hard to tell they're copies, except for the obvious lack of Nintendo/Wii branding.

I can't believe a serious (Dutch) company would deal stuff like this. Also, they must be retarded for sending them to me specifically. Because I returned the previous ones, they know I am picky. I also told them that I have much experience with Nintendo controllers. Sending a guy like that fake remotes is asking for trouble.

And trouble is what they're getting.
Thoughts?

PS: They seem to work well enough. The buttons feel a bit awkward, the rumble is weak but noisy, but that's about it. I'm mostly worried about the durability.

I paid €23 for each controller. That's €17 than in stores. I also had to pay shipping costs twice (more than €10).

Now I'm deciding if I will call it in with Nintendo.
