1.0 out of 5 stars Inconvenient and ineffective, December 3, 2008

I bought this for $20 elsewhere and am not convinced I got my money's worth. It is inconvenient to use and ineffective. The biggest gripe for me is that I have to take the rubber protective cover off the remote every time I want to charge it. I also have to fiddle with it quite a bit once it is in the station to ensure the safety strap isn't in the way. This wouldn't be such a big deal if the rechargeable battery held its charge for awhile but I find that the controller only holds its charge for about an hour of game play before it dies. This is certainly inconvenient if you are planning on having friends over and playing for longer durations of time. I also am not sure I understand the purpose of having the charger glow as the light does not change from red to another color when it is fully charged. I also find myself nervous to leave the remote charging for too long at a time since the instructions state that if I leave it unattended in the charging base for an extended period of time the batteries or unit may overheat and I will need to discontinue use. First off, "extended period of time" is very vague. Is that a day? A week? A month? It's hard to know. Not to mention discontinue use of what? Will overheating render just the batteries useless or the entire remote control as well. If it's the latter I would rather not take my chances since the charge has a short life as it is. Such a bummer because I was excited to get this at $20, but even if I had gotten it at the lower price advertised here I would still not have gotten my money's worth.

Made it here before christmas very fast shipping great product Thank you!

You cannot charge with Big plastic bumper guards but I didn't expect it to be able to.

Con- the Wrist strap (maybe its just mine) but I have to remove them for it to charge.

But if thats all I have to do to save on Battery life I am greatly appreciative!

The charging station is great, different colored led lights to tell wheather its charging or not. Nice blue lighting especially if you have the matching blue led base for the wii. Sometimes a little tricky to get it to start charging if the wrist strap is on, it pushes up on the remote and may not make contact with the base.
