 not practical July 7, 2008
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my children to use with Wii boxing game. The gloves were fairly useless. When wearing them, you are unable to press any of the controls on the controllers as they are tucked into the back of the boxing glove ( on the back of your hand). My kids have used them twice ( tops!). don't bother. Boxing game is more fun without them.
wii boxing gloves June 18, 2008
these gloves aren't worth the money. it is very hard to get your controller into the glove and once it is in you can't use any of the buttons for power punches.
 Best for Wii Fit June 16, 2008
These gloves work best for the wii fit boxing challenge--not any game where you have to KO someone.
Fun but with some complications. June 6, 2008
The gloves are very small so thankfully I have small hands. But for other people in the family we need to take the padding out of the gloves to make their hands fit. Then there's the chance of the Wii mote and Nunchuck flipping sideways and not getting a fair punch in the game. So, unless you have small hands I really wouldn't reccomend this product. It is fun, works for people with small hands, and brings the boxing game to life.
 Good idea on paper... February 21, 2008

Sounds like a good idea right? With the Wii, there are many customizable attachments to add to the controllers for that added touch of realism e.g. Links crossbow, golf clubs, etc...why not boxing gloves?
The problem is that these are basically bag striking gloves with a pouch sewn in and foam inserts. I noticed the following problems that this quick "port" causes;
- The glove fit tight (like striking gloves should) but that means if/when you clinch your fist the gloves will depress one of many controller buttons which of course can do things like turn your Wii off to exiting the game.
- No IR window for the sensors. The glove dramatically reduce the range and accuracy of the controllers due to the damping effect of the gloves outer shell
- No access to any control buttons. Hope you like only jabbing cause accessing that coveted "z" button for the knock punch just ain't gonna happen.
Most of these problems can be fixed with an Xacto knife, but I decided just to sell them on eBay along with the ultra sucky boxing game I bought with it (Showtime Boxing).
