I want to set up a spare laptop as a media player and use a wiimote to control it so I want the bar to be powered even when the Wii is off. I guess I need to scour some modding sites.

Getting off my ass to light candles kind of reduces the point of using a remote.

dude a wii remote will not use a sensor bar when controlling a laptop. You can only use the buttons and motion sensing (which use bluetooth to interface)

sorry I haven't kept up with these developments since the wii was launched.

how about cutting in some IR LEDs into the lid of your laptop? i'm sure you could power them from the USB bus or something

What's wrong with binding the directional keys to move the mouse? much simpler I would imagine. Some apps even have the motion sensing to move the mouse

Wireless???? Love it how they mention this - "Easy to operate - Only need to connect the inductor's plug to the Nintendo Wii console"
