The Dell Latitude E6530 that I mentioned in the Latest hardware to Support Vista is one heck of a beast. I decided to run Dolphin emulator on it and ran Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Kart Wii. Both had no lag whatsoever. Mario Kart Wii had very minor lag on the character/course selection screen, but on the track, it was flawless. Anyways, I was wondering if there is a USB Bluetooth Adapter that supports both Windows Vista and the connecting of Nintendo Wiimotes (to use with Dolphin and the remaining Wii games that don't accept Gamecube controller input)? Any suggestions that you guys have would be greatly appreciated!

Anything Bluetooth 2.1 or 3.0 probably won't have any issue.

Anything Bluetooth 4.0+ will need a custom stack that supports Vista to work with Vista, which is much more rare. Just look at the cheapest adapter with XP and/or Vista compatibility and you should be fine.

Thanks for the answer!
