First off, this sensor bar was not an option for me, it was a requirement. I have a front-projection home theatre set-up with a Mitsubishi 720p projector on an 8-foot screen. The living room is ~24 long (from projector to screen) and 17 wide. Without this sensor, I wouldn't have been able to have the Wii in the back office with the projector. Now we just turn this baby on and play without having to worry about running a useless, tiny black cord through the living room. As other reviewers have noticed, all this device does is emit a signal that the Wiimotes then use to translate your motion to the Wii. We have perfect control from anywhere within the living room and parties with Mario Kart are especially fun when you're 1/4 of the screen is still 4x4 feet! For the price, this device would be worth the convenience factor alone. The fact that it increases Wiimote range, turns itself off after a timer, and is supremely easy to set up and use (i.e. even my boyfriend could use it and he's tech-hopeless), this device deserves all 5-stars.......
I've got a wall mounted flat screen. The original sensor bar's wire is too short to be routed through the wall and still reach (like all my other wires). It's also mounted high on the wall. SO I NEED the sensor bar to be mounted on the bottom so I can reach the ON/OFF button because it needs to be turned on and off independently of the WII (that kinda sucks). The thing needs 4 AA batteries = it's too heavy for double sticky tape to hold for very long. And you can't permanently mount it because the battery access is on the bottom that is up against the TV. I tried several ways to try and keep the thing mounted but ultimately had to DRILL into my TV's case (underneath) to make holes to run fishing line to hold it from falling off. I'll be looking for a better solution. So, if you have a flat screen mounted on the wall where you can't reach the top of the TV to turn this thing on and off ... well you've been informed and should know what you are in for.......
I like that the wii sensor bar is wireless and that although it's slightly larger than the sensor bar that came with the wii, it still fits into the same holder. I also like that the bar reminds you by a loudish beeping should you forget to turn it off. The only thing I would change would be that the bar coincidingly turn off with the wii.......
Excellent wireless bar for my Wii. Works great. The bright blue light is a little distracting. ......
I purchased this product with the intent to use it with a projector at events and parties. As most people know by now, the Wii sensor bar is just IR LED lights. While it is possible to build your own homemade one as many people online have done, it is not cost effective to do so. The wireless sensor bar has been very useful with a projector setup, but it tends to suck down the batteries. I left some batteries in it for 6 months and they were dead when I pulled the senor bar out to use it again. If you do need this device, I would recommend only keeping batteries in it when you need to use it, because it drains them even when it's off. ......
