 How to ruin your wii remote for the low price of $10 December 26, 2007
13 out of 19 found this review helpful
Our family received one of this for Christmas. It seemed like a good combination of fit and function. However, when the wii remote was inserted in the carrier, one of the foam strips inside the carrier stuck to the infrared window. It has been impossible to remove this adhesive, and now the wii remote no longer works correctly. The foam strips are placed in such a way that there is no possible way to put the remote in without having the foam rub up against (and therefore possibly stick to) the infrared window.
So even after this, if you still consider purchasing this item, be aware that you cannot use the remote to navigate any of the wii menus while it is inside the carrier. Based on the way the carrier is made, it would probably be only a matter of time before one of the foam strips broke off.
 Making driving games much easier... August 27, 2007

Sure it may just be psychological but I do find it easier to race with one of these in my hands.
It really does make it easier to hold the remote and the price is ok.
I would recommend it for anyone that has any racing games!
Works well for a great price! July 23, 2007

When I first saw an ad for this product I thought it would be a standalone controller, complete with its own wireless, motion sensor, and need for batteries. All of this, of course, would make it very expensive, so I wondered why anyone would even think this is worth it. But thankfully, it is just an attachment for your regular Wii remote, making it only ten bucks new! It works great, and was easy to get used to, even if it doesn't really let me hold it the way I hold an actual steering wheel. I was never any good at the racing mini-games on my Warioware and Mario Party games (I don't actually own any racing games) because I found it really annoying to hold the remote in the driving configuration ("The Chauffeur" position in Warioware). Although it's inconvenient to use and switch around for mini-games, it definitely helped, and at 10 dollars it still felt worth it. If you play a lot of motion sensing racing games, I'd say that this is undoubtedly worth it, since it erases the awkwardness and inconvenience of holding the Wii remote by the edges.
EDIT: I now see that the price has gone up and the product is no longer available directly from amazon. This changes my opinion of this product quite a bit. For 10 bucks it was quite a bargain. I don't know if I would pay 25+ dollars for this add-on. People thinking of buying a racing wheel for Wii might want to wait for the official one that's coming out with the next Mario Kart game. Anyway, it's up to you.
