I actually bought this as a gift for my "better half" who often found the connection wire from the wii remote to the will nunchuck in the way of easy game play during games such as Wii tennis.

I had no idea how much easier it would make my own gameplay!

I actually hadn't noticed how often one has to be hindered by the wire of the original remote until I no longer had it there!

We hooked it up, charged it for 12 hours, pushed the sync button and wow! gameplay got better!

I especially enjoy active games on the Wii such as Wii EA Sports. Because that requires tucking the nunchunck into a leg pocket while the wire connects to the Wii remote...this makes it a snap and the wire is never in the way of body moves when punching, swinging, doing lunges, etc. I actually think it slips in and out of the leg strap for EA Sports more easily than the original nunchuck.

Also the shape of it makes it fit better in your hand than the original.

I've never had one second of issues, problems, or anything negative...it's been an all-positive experience and made us better at each game because our hands are more free to play with no encumbrance or hooking up and unhooking for various games.

Conclusion: One member of our household knew what a help this would be in gameplay and had me order it. I figured the original remote and nunchuck were just fine until I got this and saw and felt the difference! A must-have gadget.

This wireless chuk is great! I enjoy the fishing and hunting games, and the chuk cord always ties me up. NO MORE! I highly recommend this chuk. It plugs right into the Wii for easy recharging. The only drawback is that a remote unit plugs into the back of the wii remote with clips that make next to impossible to get off again to recharge it in the recharging cradle. I just cut off the clip and problem solved. Showed it to my buddy, and he immediately got one himselfNintendo Wii Wireless Playchuk Pro. I plan to get one for my other remotes too.

I was very excited when I first got this. I tried it out after charging it for a couple of hours (directions said 12 hours at first try). It didn't make connection (you have to sync the Wii remote and the Playchuk) the first time. I plugged it back in and tried again the next day. It connected and worked great! However, it doesn't make consistent connection. It seems that it will make connection about 1 in 5 times. And, once it won't make a connection, I've never been able to get it to connect unless I turn off the Wii console, let the Wii remotes time out, and try again. Even then it doesn't always work. Perhaps I got a bad one . . . or perhaps the product isn't that great. I'm sending it back and trying a different brand and hope it works better.
