can anyone suggest the cheapest wireless reciever from amazon.ca this is the one Im looking at https://www.amazon.ca/Adapter-600Mbps-Wireless-802-11N-Mac10-4-10-12-1/dp/B01JG1GP7K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524607783&sr=8-3&keywords=wifi+receiver#customerReviews

it can be hdmi or pcie slot.

what I need it for is to use my wii u pro controller. so it's gotta be good gaming wise.

also the only usb slots I have left are 2.0


so if anyone can suggest one it'd be appreciated or if the one I chose is good.

Should just buy this...
https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Wii-Pro-Controller-Adapter/dp/B00E6553PW

But what you want to use IF your being cheap is a blue tooth dongle like this...

Can't link you the software to pair with the dongle so you have to google that, no need warn.

well since wii u controllers are discontinued now who knows if mine would break. would be good to have wifi for any type of controller. I have xbox 360 controllers as well I think that only work with wifi.

are you sure that has good enough speeds? is the one I wanted mainly for internet?

Yes the speeds are fine, the only issue with blue tooth is signal strength.
I don't know how far away you are but I doubt its over 15 feet.

Should add both style controllers operate on bluetooth so you don't get any foolish idea's later (PS4 and andriod controllers are the same as well).

Honest question, are there any modern controllers that don't operate on bluetooth?

Yes, sadly enough there's a few 3rd party controllers for pc that use their own signal.
I've personally only come across one irl but have been told theres been others over the years.
Infrared based game controller for example in my case.
