Insten Wireless Sensor Bar Compatible with Nintendo Wii / Wii U (with Stand) Replacement Infrared IR Ray Motion Sensor Bar

I bought this last week from Amazon & mine's working great. I was obviously hesitant with only 2 reviews and both of them being that it didn't work, but I had a gift certificate and knew my dog was going to destroy my apartment with that sensor bar wire dangling through the middle of it, so thought I'd give it a shot. 2 AAA batteries, flip the switch to "On" and then work with the Wii sensitivity settings to get it to stop cutting out. (This improves when it's darker in my apt since I'm using a projector for my Wii.)And, it came to my mailbox FAST!I'm a happy customer.

This product seems to kill batteries. Every time I turn it out to play with my kids it is dead. It seems that Wireless Sensor Bars are an area that is lacking for the Wii, most I have found have terrible reviews. It does work once the batteries are replaced, but what is the point if you have to buy batteries every time you play

Worked fine but terrible battery life and choice for wired use. Probably best to get the power A sensor with automatic shut down and I believe it is able to do wired as well

Works great for our old wii. The one we had before died, and I didn't want to spend a whole lot of money for a senor bar for a system we don't really use all that often, so the price was great on this one. It works well with our old controllers, and the kids can turn it on easy. Great for the money!

I wish it worked! I was so excited to find this wireless sensor bar since bad kitty has chewed two of the wired ones clean through. I thought, "Ha! Fooled you this time!" Unfortunately, this bar came in a plain white box, with only a warehouse product number sticker on it, no instructions and no findable directions online. Installed the batteries and turned it on with the Wii and it seemed to sync itself and work the first night but only if you stood about 15 feet away and to the side of the bar (holding one leg up with your tongue sticking out to the right, lol). Was able to use the sensor bar settings in the Wii menu to "calibrate" it and use once, maybe twice. I have changed the batteries twice although I don't believe that this is the issue since battery tester showed they were still good. Very frustrating since the Wii is useless if the bar doesn't work. I will try to return this one, (stupid me, I threw away that plain white box.) order the wired one and find some way to protect it from bad kitty!

It does its job, but it devours batteries. When I keep it across the room, I have to have sensitivity on high in order for the wiimote to even register, and that means the batteries drain in no time. It takes two AAA batteries and we have to replace them every other day. That wouldn't be bad if we played games, but we just watch Netflix. The price this sells for is appropriate, considering this.

Our AV guy wanted to charge us $25 to install one of these on our TV for our Wii. Found this instead and used a couple Command strips to secure it to our flat screen TV. Works great straight out of the box. Definitely glad this has the on/off switch (I know some of the other ones don't have one). Great purchase.

I purchased this to replace my broken wii sensor bar and it works perfectly! Its wireless and hassle free. It connected with ease right out of the box. Very happy with this item :)

It works well just that it does not have a nice finish... it is cheap what do you expect for the price

Looks awesome

seemed wonky in the beginning but works well now

Did not work

Great
