EQINI Sensor Bar for Wii, Replacement USB Wired Infrared Ray Sensor Bar for Wii, Wii U, and PC, includes Stand, Black

It works no hassle have not tested it finely but seems good enough and ive had no problems the nintendo original didnt give me before i lost it only thing is heads up the sensor comes with a stand that it connects to but the stand connect to your table with this strip of sticky solid idk what it is not knowledgeable enough to sayFor the reviews sakeNo apparent lagAnd seems sturdy enough

I bought this sensor bar to replace a wireless sensor bar because this product cost about as much as 2 months worth of AAA batteries. I use my sensor bar for a Linux couch computing configuration for conference calls, so multi-hour meetings were quickly draining my wireless sensor bar's batteries. I can conserve Wii remote batteries by turning off the remotes when I don't need to interact for a while, but walking to the wireless sensor bar to turn it on often defeats its purpose.With this product, I don't have to buy batteries for the sensor bar. I don't have to worry about turning it off when a meeting ends (another way I drained my wireless bar's batteries) because it turns on with the computer I'm interacting with. Its performance is even better than the wireless bar overall because it never runs low on batteries. I'd have remote position precision problems when the old wireless bar's batteries ran low.

PROs1. USB-powered so no battery issues2. Fairly Long Cable Length3. Works great (better than the Nintendo sensor bar) at distanceCONs1. Some TVs don't have a USB port, I suggest you buy a small USB wall outlet adaptor2. The cable is very thin, very possible to snap it3. Sensor bar slides around too easily (no rubber grips on the bottom); easy fix though, just use some velcro tape or those rubberized attachmentsOVERALLVery good product, works as advertised and I have no qualms about it.

a great device for anyone trying to replicate the wii's bar experience.

When I installed it, it worked fine. I went to go use it a few days later and half of the sensor bar is out. It's just been sitting on a TV. All it is is two sets of LEDs. How they managed to make it that unreliable is beyond me.

Making this work was super easy. You do not need it pair it with Windows. Here are the steps:1) Plug the bar into your computer, PC or even a phone charger wall jack. The bar requires 5v so any 5v will do.2) Download Dolphin Emulator 5.1-8549. Unzip the file.3) Go into the Dolphin folder and click on Controller Settings. You should see a section: "Emulator the Wii's Bluetooth's Adapter under "Wii Remotes. Select Real Wii Remote under Wii Remote 1. (You can also use multiple Wii remotes using one bar).4) On the Wii Remote (click on the red pairing button in the back or just the 1 and 2 buttons together. All the bottom blue lights should blink. Now, check mark "Continuous Scanning" and "Refresh" buttons. Next, uncheck "Continuous Scanning" and you click "Refresh". A blue led on your Wii Remote should be lit which indicates you are now paired. Start any game and you can use your Wii Remote.Hope this helps.Haresh.

If you want to get into Wii emulation, this is a product you pretty much need. It does a fine job of detecting Wii remotes and displaying the cursor correctly on the TV, but there are a few areas where this thing just falls flat. Firstly, I have never been a fan of the super-thin cable that the censor bar has, and being a third party product, there is no reason why they couldnt swap it out for something a bit sturdier. The cable itself is still finely made, so you wont have to worry about it snapping off, but its still a nitpick I have. As other people have pointed out, this censor bar uses 6 LED lights to track positioning whereas the official one uses 10. Its hard to tell if that is the problem or the emulation itself, but motion based inputs are not as precise as you would see on an actual Wii.Other than that it is basically identical to the official censor bar except that it runs through USB instead of Nintendo's proprietary connector. It does exactly what the description says.

I have been searching for a product like this ever since I finished my home theater room. I have all my components in a wall several feet away from the TV and didn't want an ugly cord stretching across the walls. I tried the "wireless" version from Nyko but my kids would leave the sensor on all the time and run the batteries down. I got tired of buying batteries every month so we stop playing with the Wii. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a USB connection on the side or back of their TV. Before you buy, be sure that your TV allows your USB to alway be powered. I have the Pioneer Elite 60 inch so if you have a Pioneer, it is always powered.This sensor has crazy acuracy from a long way away. I tried it the other night and it went 30+ feet away before it started jumping. What's great about this product is you don't have to turn it off and on each time you want to play the Wii. The black sensor blends in to you TV so you barely even notice its there. It's quite a bit smaller than the standard wired sensor bar which is an added plus. The only thing that I regret is that I didn't think of this idea myself.
