The photo I posted above is for Wii controllers. Totally black, no orange tip even.
I would like to see the link. Are those sold here in the states or over seas?
I posted the link above http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php? ... 13#p895135" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; They are sold here in the states. There is no law that says they have to have an orange tip on them.

EDIT TO ADD: Well, they may fall under the federal law requiring an orange plug, but don't know if it applies to the controllers or not. It should IMO

Re: Wii controller fatally mistaken for a gun

We still need more info. One story is 'the young man came to the door, pointed the pistol at the officer and pulled the trigger'. The other is 'he just had a Wii controller in his hand'. Hopefully there will be more info soon and the investigation will reveal what actually happened.

Re: Wii controller fatally mistaken for a gun

Could the Wii controller have been one of these?
