Control your PC with a Nintendo Wii Remote

( June 18th, 2008 )

After a bit of research and a lot of experimentation, I have perfected the ability to use a Nintendo Wii Remote to control my PC via a home-made infrared sensor bar. Although the Wii Remote will work over a standard Bluetooth link, for cursor accuracy, you need a Sensor Bar. So here is a list of links to what you need to get this set up:

  1. How to create a USB Sensor Bar
  2. How to pair your Nintendo Wii Remote with your PC
  3. WiinRemote – Software to configure and test your remote

Obviously, you will need 1 x Nintendo Wii Remote. It took me a while to get all this right but it works great now! So if you have any questions, I will be happy to help.
