To make gaming as accessible to people of all ages and all abilities, Nintendo wanted to create a controller that was as inviting as it was sophisticated- the result is the Wii Remote. Nintendo fused the global familiarity of a remote control with the sophistication of motion-sensing technology to come up with an input device that differentiates the Wii from any other console that has come before it.
Revolutionary control Sporting the dimensions of a small traditional remote control, the wireless Wii Remote is a multifunctional device that is limited only by the game designer's imagination. The magic of the Wii Remote's design lies within; acellerometers inside the controller body measure movement in all directions and at all speeds. In a tennis game, it serves as your racket as you swing your arm for a long forehand or a quick and hard backhand. In a 4x4 driving game it serves as a steering wheel, allowing you to swerve to avoid obstacles or pickup power-ups. In first-person shooters, the Wii Remote acts as a firearm that you can point directly at an on-screen enemy. The list of potential uses is enormous, and the light weight of the Wii Remote allows gamers to play for hours without feeling fatigued.

As comfortable as it is functional
The Wii Remote is equally comfortable in right and left hands and houses just the right number of buttons for gaming- not so many that new players will get confused, but enough so that Wii games don't feel constrained. On the face of the remote are the D (or "plus") pad, a large "A" button which is used for major on-screen actions, and two small options buttons. Between the game buttons are a plus and minus buttons (which often act as "forwards" and "back"), as well as a "Home" button to engage the Wii home screen to change settings or check remote battery levels. On the back side of the controller is a trigger-like "B" button, perfect for timing releases of a bowling roll in Wii Sports.
Thankfully, battery life is excellent with the two included AA batteries, just as with the previous generation of Nintendo wireless controllers.
Immersive intelligence
Along the bottom of the Wii Remote, four blue LED lights indicate which player position the remote is currently set to. The controller automatically connects to the Wii console via Bluetooth wireless technology. Below the LEDs, an expansion port lets you connect a number of devices including the Nunchuck and Classic controllers for Virtual Console gaming (Virtual Console games and controller accessories sold separately). Other features of the Wii Remote include adjustable rumble force-feedback and a reinforced wrist strap to ensure safe use. A speaker inside the remote gives the player feedback about the strength of swings or the accuracy of their moves- such as realistic tennis noises as the "racket" connects with the ball in Wii Sports. Overall, the physical design of the remote is extremely sturdy and of very high quality, ensuring countless hours of Wii gaming fun!

The Classic Controller Grip provides the best possible experience while playing with the Classic Controller on the Wii. The ergonomically designed grips give the Classic Controller a less strenuous feel, providing long lasting comfort during intense retro-gaming sessions. The Wii Remote Mount clips onto the back of the Classic Controller allowing for basic menu navigation while keeping the remote and cord conveniently out of the way during gameplay.

REVIEW
Review for Bargaincell- 4-Piece Value Combo Pack of Permium Protective Silicon/silicone Skin Snap-on Cover Case for Nintendo Wii My family is all about customizing our stuff, from our cars to our clothes, you name it, we've personalized it in some way. So we loved the idea of skins for our Wii-motes! They arrived much sooner than the posted date of arrival, which is always a nice surprise. As soon as we got them, we slapped them on and began using them. The ONE drawback is that when you have something the remote needs to be attached to, such as the Wii Mario-kart steering wheel, it will NOT work with the skins on. So there's a lot of downtime in slipping them on and off.
Overall, love the product, and was very impressed with the customer service! Add a Review
Converts 1st party wired nunchuck into wireless peripheral / Includes 2 AAA Batteries / Sleeve for nun chuck
REVIEW
Awesome Product for the Wii The cord free wireless adapter is the ultimate upgrade to purchase for your Wii console! While it may appear to be a bit bulky, those that have slightly larger hands will enjoy the feel of this product. The ability to interact with a game without cords getting in the way is just awesome. Other have complained that the sensor that plugs into the bottom of the Wii-mote keeps falling out, but it snaps in tightly if a little extra pressure is applied. This sensor is also light enough to leave it plugged in even when not suing a nunchuk. It's a great product and I plan on buying another one soon! Add a Review

Sports Pack Review Want to add a little realistic fun to your Wii sports games? Then this product, at a reasonable price, is that product. They don't really do anything extra; but they do fit over your Wii controller and help you imagine that you are using the real thing. I have had it for a month and it has held up so far. Add a Review
Make sure you always have the power you need when enjoying your Nintendo Wii. This charge station holds and charges up to four Wii Remotes, so you can be at your best for any gaming occasion.The LED charge indicator lets you know when you are charged up at maximum power. The charge station comes with an AC adapter and four 550 mAh rechargeable batteries.
REVIEW
Not for dedicated gamers The four-controller charge station for Wii by React seems to be the convenient solution for households with four motes. However, if you do some research, you'll find that its rechargeable batteries are 550 mAh, much lower than your standard AA's or the batteries that come with Nyko's dual-charge dock. I didn't think this would make a huge difference, but after using them a couple of times, I found that the weaker battery power caused the controller to lag and seriously hurt the Wiimote's range of motion. While this won't affect its performance for most games, games that require precision movements (for me, Mario Party 8 and Mario Kart with the Wheel) will be very difficult to play. At times, the Wiimote may not respond to motions, veer to one side, or be disconnected from the Wii.
Unlike the Pelican dual charge stand for PS3 which features an auto shut-off function when the controller is fully charged, this product cannot remain plugged in to a power source for an extended period of time or the battery may melt. This extra maintenance is kind of annoying, but you could live with it. However, its LED's are distractingly bright (compared to the Pelican dual charge stand for PS3's LED's which I found pleasantly subtle and not at all distracting). Without an on/off switch for the LED's, you'll definitely want to unplug this while watching a movie, etc.
The stand itself is nice, but its rather expensive to serve as just a stand. It helps get rid of some of the clutter, and the Wiimote strap can dangle off the sides without affect its charge. The Wiimotes don't rest perfectly securely and often have to be moved around a little bit to ensure that they are being charged (the red LED that shows it is properly connected is helpful). A plus I found with this battery pack is that it is less bulky than that of the Nyko dock and thus fits in fine with the Wheel and other accessories. It's lighter than the Wiimote with two AA's, too.
Bottom line: the React charge station is a decent product if you aren't going to be too picky with its weak battery and other minor flaws. Add a Review
