2 out of 5 stars Bad   July 2, 2008
This is a horrible product. I really wanted to put my Wii far from the TV, thus neccessitating a wireless sensor bar.

The quality of the sensor bar is nowhere near as good as the original Wii one, frequently losing signal. It's not awful or unplayable or anything, but it's just clearly and significantly not as good as the original.

It also eats batteries for breakfast. I'd estimate the batteries last no more than 20 hours, because if I ever forget and leave it on overnight, the batteries are dead when I wake up. That means the battery drains almost faster than the wiimotes, which drain fast themselves!



5 out of 5 stars Freakin' Awesome Works Great (MAY NEED TO ADJUST SENSITIVITY IN WII MENU FOR BEST RESULTS!!!)   June 30, 2008
At first the wireless bar had same problem mentioned in another review (it wasn't tracking unless I was right next to the bar. I went into wii menu and reset the Sensitivity factory wii setting is 3 I set it to 5 after checking 4. It works great from every angle and distance set at 5 now. So if your having that problem just go into wii menu and fix it very easy to do.
Awesome Product



5 out of 5 stars It Works...   June 25, 2008
...that's all it really needed to do.

I needed a wireless sensor bar because my plasma is mounted on a wall. The wired sensor bar that came with the Wii would have been unsightly and the cord would have been too short to reach my A/V rack. So this is a great option to have. Just be sure to switch it off when you're done playing.

I did not notice any difference on my 52" LCD from 6' away. It sucked the life out of my batteries, twice. I must have left it on? The warning sound goes off after one or two hours but when you get playing you forget all about it. The blue LED light on the front is SO bright I had to cover part of it up with electrical tape.

I bought this so I could sit further from my tv while playing and it works well. It's also ideal if you move your Wii to another location. My wired sensor bar was all intertwined with my other wires and difficult to move. Now when we take our Wii on vacation it's much easier.
