There are many different brand mod chips for Wii.
WiiKey, D2CKey, Cyclowiz, Wiinja, Wiinja Deluxe, Wiibuster, etc.
Compare with the price, function, features and the Wii Drivechip, I recommend Wii Key 2.
Wii Key 2 support DMS, D2A, D2B, D2C, D2C-2 and D2E chipsets. Support all regions, including USA, JAP, PAL and KOREA
The full specification shown below:

* Compatible with DMS, D2A, D2B, D2C, D2C-2 and D2E chipsets

* Fully configurable and updatable via DVD

It is only 19.95, plus tax $1 and shipping fee, total is $25.90. When you make order through Canadamods.ca. Shipping taks about one week.
Now it is yellow tag in the back of Wii Key 2 chip, so 6 solder points only for D2C, D2C2, or D2E.


It does very difficult to solder 6 points. Wii has very tiny points need to be soldered. If you have no experience of soldering, please buy a solderless parts, it is about $45 each.

  1. Hey, love the detailed comparison. As an update, you can get fully plug and play Wii ModChips now. The DriveKey (made by the same people behind the Wiikey 2 and D2CKey) is truly a plug and play chip. Just plug it in and it works. No soldering, no wires or anything.
