The bluez bluetooth stack is the official linux bluetooth stack which is provided by all major distributions. Since version 4. Once you made sure you have the required software installed, you can start a bluetooth-manager of your choice eg. Select a device and connect to it.
If you use a new enough bluez version, it will automatically select the correct PIN. If you are prompted for PIN input, your bluez stack is too old. If you connected a device, the hid-wiimote kernel driver will pick it up and provide kernel input interfaces for it. As these interfaces are pretty useless on its own, you need a user-space application or driver that uses the device. The kernel interfaces provide the parsed data input eg.
So if you want to use your device to emulate mouse-input, you need a user-space driver which does exactly that. There is no sane generic way how X11 or other applications could use this data, as it is very device specific. It is highly recommended to install the xwiimote-package before using a device.
It will install some X11 blacklists so your X-Server will not pick up those devices by default. It also provides a tool called xwiishow , which can be used for testing. From this point on, there are several ways to use the device: Use xwiishow for testing Install xfinput-xwiimote to make X11 use the device as input device Use the device with an application that supports xwiimote. The other buttons I left blank, for you to decide.
Lets say a game requires you to jump with the "Z" key, and we want to jump by pressing "1". Double click the row named Button1. Make sure you are in the "Keyboard" tab, and click on the first "Disabled" rectangle you see. It should highlight yellow, meaning you can now do any input on your keyboard and it will map to whatever button you chose, in this case it was "1".
Type Z, and you should see Z show up in the box. After minimizing JoyToKey, the inputs should work. You can test this out by seeing if the inputs you put in are typed out in a notepad or web browser.
Note: The up, down, left, right arrows are inputted as if you are holding the Wii Remote horizontally, with the Dpad on the left side and 1,2 buttons on the right.
So we have our Wii Remote formatted to be used as a game controller. What if we wanted to use it as a mouse? Run the JoyToKey program. Note: If the program is already open and you move the file in the same folder, it will not update until you restart the program. On the left column, select the "Wii Remote Mouse". Note: Left clicking the profile name will change between profiles after minimizing JoyToKey.
Minimize the JoyToKey program. You should be able to use the Wii Remote as a mouse now! This profile is very basic. You can add more to it and tweak it to your liking by changing the settings. From the top left, the slider determines left and right movement of the mouse. So sliding it to the left will make the mouse move left, and if you slide it far left the mouse will move far to the left when pressing the left Wii Remote button.
Similarly, the vertical column determines up and down movement of the mouse. Below you can see mouse clicks, such as left click and right click. Any of these can be mapped to the Wii Remote. The rest of the settings are up to you to explore and experiment! Participated in the First Time Authors Contest Reply 4 weeks ago. Started by thelonewolf20 Yesterday at PM Replies: 3.

Try downloading wiinmote. I am not pretty sure why you are having this kind of problems, but to me personal experience it worked to me. It was not pairing a wiimote, but in the other problem I had with different subjects, it worked well. Plus the link is, as of right now the link is shouted down.
So, I guess you can download it from other sources' link. I am not a writer of this post, but yeah, haha I'm righting this down. So it says on my Windows 8. It did this to me.
