Okay I've seen some people have talked about this thing turning off on you while playing. Okay if you would read the instructions that comes with it you would see it tells you what to do for this, heck if you would just look on the back of the bar you will see 2hr, 1hr, off. This is a flag to READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. You can have it auto turn off in two hours or even one hour, you know when it is about to go off because the little blue light flashes, just get up and touch the button again OR you could switch it to OFF. Yeah OFF, this is the position of the switch that TURNS OFF THE AUTO OFF FUNCTION. To let you in on something, my eight year old son found the switch as soon as it was out of the tube and asked me what it dose. Don't put a product down until you READ EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT.

Well, my little brother vacuums over our wii sensor bar cutting into two pieces..... This annoyed me. I had to get a new one for my wii..... This product is awesome-plenty of ingenious ways to save battery like a timer that goes off every one or two hours and shuts the sensor bar off, but the timer can be shut off. Unlike the wii sensor bar it can be used from a closer range. It doesn't require any cord or socket to connect to so it is very easy to store or hide =0. Overall if you’re looking for a replacement for your wii sensor bar this is the way to go if you and only if YOU HAVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. Not that it sucks batteries but it would be annoying to be switch 4 batteries every month or so. Great product worth the time and little amount of money. Love it!

So my nintendo sensor bar broke, and I needed a new one. I decided to go with this product. This is a good product. It needs batteries, but other then that I don't see a reason not to buy it. It's nice not to have another wire to look at. I have heard that it doesn't read to the amount it says it does which is at about 25 ft or so, but I don't have a huge area to play in and have never had a problem. But I've only gotten about 15 ft, maybe a little more from it. Another nice feature is that you can set a reminder to turn it off at 1 hour or 2 hours use or just not put one on at all. The battery life has been about 5 or 6 hours, maybe more. If your sensor bar stops working, or you don't like the long wire, go ahead and get it, I don't regret it.

Worst thing I've bought for Wii so far.
PostedMay 5, 2008
This wireless Wii sensor bar is no doubt the worst thing I've bought for Wii thus far. First of all, if you move it even the slightest, it can turn off immediately. Also, it is almost three times the height of the Wii sensor bar that actually comes with the Wii. The wireless part is great until it turns off right when you're playing or doing anything with the Wii remote. It starts off as a great product, but then suddenly losses its edge during gameplay, surfing the web, or anything else needing use of the Wii remote. I have bought three seeing if they would work any different and none of them work even one-tenth as well as the original Wii sensor bar. So if your Wii sensor bar breaks, this is definitely not the product to buy. If you have any issues with your sensor bar do not, I repeat, DO NOT, buy this product.
