The new Moves do not contain a magnetometer, so even if you get them to pair, the data will start to drift after a while and not remain true to the actors hand/head positions, if used 1 for head.
A good way to choose an older model that has a magnetometer is by the back tag MPN number starting with a 1, or a 2 and having 12 digits, they started the change in late 3's and 4's, or higher, you may still get lucky on some higher numbers of U, or E models with magnetometer, but best to try to stay away from those higher numbers, doesn't matter if model ends in a U, or an E for this, but all G models have no magnetometer. U=USA E=Europe.
There is also J for Japan and S for Singapore, but they are very hard to come across, U and E were most abundant, but still hard to get now.
There are also models with a letter B after the U, or E, if the MPN is lower, they will work also, I have one with that B and works correctly, not sure what the B means, but I think they were bought as a factory pair, because PS3 only came with a single Move then, to get more they had to be purchased and you could get singles, or pairs.
Older models are hard to find now, but you may get lucky to find a few pairs on eBay, to get 6 for use on hands and head for 2 actors, just ask the seller to verify the numbers before you buy and they don't have to be bought as pairs, as long as these numbers start with a 100+, or 200+, (ex. 130120617553 model E is one of mine, another is 220081636582 model U) and they work flawlessly, but don't plug the dongle directly into the computer port, try to use a short cable to get it a bit away from the machine and monitor and anything putting off magnetic interference.
Hopefully this helps understand.
