I'm looking for new Wiimotes, for the legacy Wii. My goal is to buy the 3rd and 4th Wiimotes for my console. These devices will be primarily used to play some games with children, like Mario, not high-paced games.

I can see a lot of "compatible" devices that are neither official nor built by Nintendo.

What is the quality of these alternative devices compared to the official ones?

Do these devices operate like an official one? Should I expect the same reactivity, precision, etc.?

I assume the global finish of the product may give a cheaper feeling, but I can live with that.
