it's only the nunchuck. Original (made by Nintendo) product costs around 20$. this one looks more like the generic el-cheapo gamepads that we see in the market. if you want one, better pay for the authentic nunchuck.

err..um.. thats a Nunchuk.

And yes, Nunchuck (and the wiimote) can be used to control the mouse on a PC. Never tried, though

^^ But wiimotes and nunchunks respond to the wii sensor bar. Can they recognise pc bluetooth or vice-versa?

Yes they can. I read somewhere that it is possible to move mouse ( and probably play FPS games) with wiimote on a PC.

Its not as handy as a mouse but yeah the novelty factor is great (for a while).

My friend had nearly bought an XBOX 360 controller for 500 bucks. When I saw that carefully I found that it wasn't the original one but man that duplicate controller was like made to perfection. If you don't know the key points to identify the controller then anyone can be fooled. These duplicate controllers for XBOX and Wii are quite popular in market which are being sold for a much lower cost than original one so thats means that they are duplicate. So don't buy them if you want original.
