PowerA - Ultra Wireless Sensor Bar for Nintendo Wii

Bought this product (I have it in black) to eliminate the wires needed for the sensor that came with the Wii. So far, so good. It works better than my original sensor, as now I can operate the Wii from further away, meaning I can sit on my couch instead of on my floor. Also, I did not have to sync anything, only turn this product and the Wii on, and it just worked. Easy set up. My only concerns are the batteries. You must be very careful when putting in or removing batteries. As far as battery life is concerned, yes, they do die fast, but you can combat this with purchasing rechargeable batteries, which will save a lot of money in the long run. I also like the rubber feet on the bottom that keep it from getting knocked all over the place. I do with there was some form of charger for this, so that the batteries didn't have to be removed and charged/replaced all the time. Really not a bad buy for just $20 though.

Using the normal Wii Sensor Bar, the two players have to be relatively close while playing. This was a problem for my wife and daughter who were having Just Dance Battles. The Ultra Wireless Sensor has allowed them to be further apart and still accurately record each individuals movements. It has now made playing the game a easier, because my wife isn't worried about hitting our daughter with the remote or hands while dancing.

As advertised, adds to the range and viewing angle to any Wii or WiiU group party. Auto syncs with either machine once and doesn't require re-syncing at all, no matter which game console you switch too. Battery operated or use included sensor power cable. Automatic shut-off is helpful but it does scarf battery power when upping the range capabilities. If you use the power cable, no worries. It comes in different colors but the only one I've ever seen would make Henry Ford happy.

It has a good reception compared to the bundled sensor with the Wii console, took 5 minutes to set it up, however it did not include the batteries, you have to buy them to use it without any cables, and it requires lots of power to keep working with batteries, i would recommend rechargeable batteries for this one if you want to protect your wallet, recommended if you want a cable-free environment of your living room, or if you need to replace your Wii sensor bar

Great way to play with wii controller on the PC. :)

This Wii sensor is so much better than the original version. I have a regular Wii and my kitten chewed through the super thin long cord on the sensor. We haven't been able to play the Wii since. At first I was hesitant to get this because I didn't want to pay $20 for it. But I went ahead with the purchase and it was totally worth it. The sensor is wired or wireless. Now I don't have to worry about a long cord getting in the way. The sensor is extended range so where my little girl wasn't hitting the old one properly for her dance games the new one catches her because of the wide range. It also has an automatic shut off so I'm not constantly running through the batteries. My little girl never remembers to turn it off. I am extremely happy with the purchase. With all it can do I would have actually paid more. If you have the old Wii sensor you should upgrade to this one whether you need to or not. You will be truly happy!!!

Did your Wii U include that dinky little sensor bar? Are your kids waving their Wii remotes at the TV in a frenzy looking for the icon to pop up? Kiss those struggles goodbye with this. It eats batteries like crazy but saves on frustration headaches.

This has been a good product so far. It was easy to hook up and sends out a good signal. It uses batteries up really fast though and we are really good about turning it off when we are done using the Wii.
