Wiimote knockoffs hit the market

IDF Spring 2008 Ugly and ungainly

CHINA IS FULL of knock-offs and questionable homages to products that would get you sued in a country where IP lawyers own government. One of the most humorous of these seen at IDF was the 3D iJoy, aka the Wiimote.

It is a shameless knockoff in every way. The button placements, the shape, the strap, all close to the original. Close, but not really close enough. The iJoy is clunkier and far less ergonomic, but it probably is much cheaper, perfect to disappoint the kiddies with.

Close, not close enough

There were a bunch of small PCs using it at IDF, and from what wecould see, the Wii has nothing to fear.

Half there doesn't cut it with controls, and take my word for it, this one is not fully baked. To add insult to injury, guess what game came with it?
