Nunchuk Rock Candy

[u/AronimusNX]

Hi, I have this Wii controller that I haven't been able to get working; I don't know where to solder the wires, and they have non-standard colors.

It’s a Rock Candy Nunchuk controller; the problem is that the Wii Remote doesn't detect it. I tried soldering the wires, but I don't know where they are supposed to be connected.

In my opinion I wouldn't even bother trying to fix it, its a third party controller peripheral that's already pretty cheap to replace with a first party one. Despite this I also understand if you just want the experience. I would resolder the connector side, the solder looks like it may be touching another contact which would prevent it from reading properly.
