 Much Better May 31, 2007

Some reviews mentioned that this bar let you get further away from the TV. We have a 18X25 livingroom. With the original sensor bar, we had to sit in the middle of the room or it wouldn't work very well. With this sensor bar, we are now able to sit all the way across the room on the sofa and it works perfectly.
Yes it is a little larger, has a blue light, a timer, and so on. But at least for us, those are all miniscule with being able to get a much greater distance away from the TV. Well worth the money and definately much better than the original one that came with the Wii.
Use both! September 15, 2007

So I had put this on my wishlist for my birthday and was happy to get it. It does indeed extend the range of the remotes. But our couch is 12' away from the TV (big TV) and was pushing the limit of even this sensor. But wait, it's not a sensor, is it? It's just a pair of LED emitters like the original. So I *stacked* them. They actually stack quite nicely, with the wired Nintendo emitter on bottom (so that the activation button on the Nyko is still on top). The result was amazing - what was jittery at 12' is now rock stable at 20'.
I like the timer function, and the on indicator. Not fond of the silver logo on front. But the product works great. If you have a Wii and a big screen, you want this product. Try it on it's own or stacked!
Wii-markable improvement over first party sensor bar July 20, 2007

Since purchasing this item and using it in conjunction with the Wii console, I must admit that despite the wireless sensor bar being 3rd party, it delivers first party performance. The range is greater, as well as sensitivity. Don't worry about those who are upset with the alarm...you don't have to set it to the auto off feature, so there's no annoying alarm unless you want it.
This is a good product. Not having the unsightly spaghetti like wire is much kinder to asthetics, and mischevious pets. Order now!

Well, I picked this up for my projector after going through a few of my own home-made wireless bars. First of all, there is a switch on the back where you can set the sensor to shut off after 1 or 2 hours, and this is very helpful since it does not shut off with the cosole like the original bar does. But if you don't want to use this feature, you just slide the switch to "off", and the timer is off..easy, right?
Now, the only reason the controller may seem sensitive on such a huge screen is not because of the size of the bar, but because that it how nintendo made the wii to work with all tv sizes. If you had a 9" tv and a 200" tv, the amount of movement you would make with the wiimote would be the same with both screens to get from one end to the other. In other words, the wii does not detect or care what size screen your using, you will always have to move the wiimote the same distance.
This sensor bar seemed to work much better than the original one in that it reads a farther distance and is less jittery on screen and gives a much more persistant signal. For a projector or anywhere you can't use nintendos sensor bar, this is a great alternative.
Great way to eliminate wires... April 11, 2007

I needed an extra sensor bar to put on my bedroom plasma. I didn't want any wires exposed, and this fit the bill perfectly. It's bigger than the included one, and has an annoying blue light. However, a piece of black electrical tape over it works great. Just remember to turn it off, or set the automatic shut-off to 1 or 2 hours. The range on the unit is better than the wired one.
