great addition to the Wii experience. Wireless all the way - especially if you have a flat screen on the wall. We also move it around since we have a longer room to makes "non-motion" games couch-friendly.
This thing is great - just remember to turn it off after finishing your gaming.
 Works well but not necessary April 8, 2008

I have used this product for about 4 or so months now. It works great. I do not think it is a must have accessory, however, unless you have a real need for a wireless bar (for instance, if your tv is wall mounted or if you, like me, have cats that chewed up the cord on the stock sensor). I say that because, while it works great, it brings with it two notable inconveniences. One, it's one more thing you need batteries for. The stock sensor obviously is powered off the console. Anything wireless requires its own batteries. Two, you have to turn the sensor on and off each time you use it. Turning it on is not a big deal - if you forget, you will quickly remember you need to do so when your pointer doesn't work. Remembering to turn it off is obviously harder. Fortunately, the sensor does have an automatic turn off. After a set number of minutes (an hour I think) the sensor starts beeping, at which point you can hit the button on the sensor to keep it turned on, you can hold the button down to turn it off, or you can just wait it out and the sensor will eventually turn itself off. Such is a great feature if you have forgotten to turn the sensor off. Such is annoying, however, if you are in the middle of playing a game and the sensor starts beeping. You have to pause the game, get up off the couch, hit the sensor button, sit back down and then you can continue playing. That's right - the auto shut off does not take into account whether or not you are in the middle of a game.
So, my conclusion is, if you need a wireless sensor bar, this one works great. If you don't, I wouldn't recommend it because of the afformentioned inconveniences that come with things wireless. If you simply need to replace your sensor bar, and don't need the wireless functionality, the following looks to be a better, and cheaper, option:
Wired Sensor Bar for Nintendo Wii with Stand!
 Not sensative enough April 7, 2008

I am unable to use this product unless I am on top of the TV. I've put the sensativity on the Wii at the max and it still only picks up the remotes at about 2 ft away - waste of money. I should return it, but am not sure I can. I do not have any of the packaging.
Wii Sensor Bar April 5, 2008
Definately a good investment if you take your Wii outside the home. I would recommend carrying extra batteries, which you should do anyways for the controllers. Great product for the price. Sensor bar had no problems allowing controller to pick up sensor bar until the batteries got low. A must for traveling wiis.
