Has anyone ordered these yet, or have received there's yet? I just got mine today, and they sure feel nice in my hands. You get much more control than before, and the added weight is kind of a good thing. It makes the Wiimote feel much nicer in my hands.

I still haven't ordered mine.

Type in your Wii's serial number and you get up to four of them.

I'm probably going to end up getting four, because when I sent for two I got a 404. I went back and tried again, repeated until I got a "You've exceeded the limit, man."

"More control"?

Will this work over the backings that I have on my battery covers from the Wii Powerstation?

I haven't heard much about these jacket things, actually..

Bird, I did the same thing.

Toad, If not it should be easy enough to cut out a small rectangle for the contact to connect through. At least I hope so. The inconsistent connections with my charger has been it's only negative. Maybe I should work on that, but now I'm busying with trying to design and make wireless GCN/Wii laser DDR controllers without pads.

I don't know if I'm too fond of 'em, but I know my brother wants one.

Ordered mine weeks ago, didn't come yesterday. I'm sure it will come some time this week...

I don't know if I'll use them either, but hey, they're free.

I ordered four, even though I only have 3 remotes. I bet most people who ordered them ordered four, regardless of how many remotes they actually have.

I guess I'll look at my Wii box next weekend.

Trust me, guys. At first, as I was like, "what the heck do I need them for? I use a wrist strap. I'm not reckless. Oh well, I'll just get them anyways." First of all, they came quickly, and second, I underestimated them. The added weight and grips give you a better feel of control over the Wii remote, and they even look pretty cool, too, not being that third party junk.

BP · « **Reply #14 on:** October 21, 2007, 07:48:09 PM »

You don't have to convince me to send for and try them. I'll be the judge of how much I like them when they get here.
Edit: Oh, but does it still work for SPM and the constant holding-style switching in WarioWare?
