I bought that a couple of weeks ago, it works fantastically well...and the replacement backs actually make gripping the remote much easier.

I'd personally consider this a 'must own' for anyone with a wii.

I second the recommendation. I've had mine for a few months, it rocks.

If SSBB sucks, my Wii is going in the trash.

The game selection at this point for this console is beyond unacceptable.

Givin, have you been keeping up with the dojo website? The game is looking very promising. Hell must freeze over for it to be a worse product than the last Smash Bros. game. But, we'll see.

I got this thing about a month ago and can't get the thing to work .. everything seems to charge but then the remotes have no power. Then again I have only spent maybe 5 minutes looking at it other then charging

I like my charger a lot, some people complain about the connectors getting corroded though (sweat + electricity). So just wipe off your contacts if you're a sweaty palm...or slather your palms in deodorant before hand! It's sexy and smells good! GO SUPER WII FUN TIME HOOOO!

I finally got my wiimote condoms today

I like the feel, but my guess is if I want to use them, the charge station won't really work with them even with modification to the sleeve

anyone with it know if it could be made to work?

I haven't seen the condoms but if it's the typical latex shit, then you just need to make sure the connectors on the back are connecting with the power station. So I'd use an exacto knife or something similar to ensure ample contact space. Then it should work unless the latex is too thick which would prevent connection since it has to lay back against it.

I've found that with the backs used by the charge station though I don't even need the wii-doms. And I have the wii remotes labeled by wrist strap differences so I know which is 'mine'. :lol:

Those look nothing like I thought they would...they're quite odd. I forgot to send away for my freebies (though someone offered me 2 because they overordered so I could get them if I wanted). Does your wiimote charge in the back though, because that's how mine does, though it stands up in the charger so the bottom would have to be kinda flat still I guess too.

The cover I had for one wiimote was like a latex skin (which I didn't really like anyway).

What's the benefit of that cover, just handling better overall with the cone-ish top?

It's super comfortable, it really really is. I took it off today for the first time since they arrived a few weeks back and I couldn't stand the bare remote anymore. Your grip is much firmer. Also playing NES games is more comfortable now, no longer go for the VC controller when wanting to play the NES games. I still find the buttons on the remote too small compared to the VC controller, but it's much more comfortable to hold the remote sideways with the condoms on.

Those Wii Remote charging stations can occasionally cause sync problems. They're fixable still annoying when they pop up.
