Much like Nyko's wireless adapter, Brando is offering up their own version, for the same price ($20). Unlike the Nyko Kama, this is merely an adapter, which houses the original, wired nunchuk and allows you to wrap up the wires, as pictured. We're not sure how comfortable Brando's option is, but if it's anything like the Nyko adapter, it's a really good option for those that hate wires.
Anybody interested in a wireless adapter for their nunchuk? Does the wire bother you that much or are you fine with having the wire there?

There is no way that can be comfortable. It kind of forces your hands to conform a certain way. I don't think I could hold that comfortably.

I bought the Nyko adaptor as soon as I saw it at the local Wal-mart. I was way too tired of flipping myself in the face with the nunchuk cord while playing some of the Raving Rabbids games. I'm thin enough I had actually experimented with passing the cord behind my body to get it out of the way. The nunchuk adaptor is a must have!

That this is hideous. A friend of mine was looking over my shoulder when I opened the page, and he said "is that a Wii Iron or something?". I think that sums it up.

i hate wires, makes no sence to have a wire controler when your system is wireless. i bought nykos cordless for the 20$ and it constanly would lose synce and auto puase the game, along with wrapping the wire in its small wrap area very crappy so i bought the new wireless one and it OWNS, so if this brando one works better then the cordless for nyko ill get it

Come on. It's not like the cord is connected to the actual console. There's abso-freaking-lutely no practical reason to piss away your money on this unless you want something to waste batteries in.

To each his/her own of course, but the wire really doesn't bother me. During a game, I woudn't think one would have to spread their arms THAT much. It does seem a bit like third parties are trying to capitalize on something that's not really a problem.

I see a major problem with the Brando solution...
"Operated by 2pcs of AAA size batteries"
How am I going to get two pieces of AAA size batteries? That doesn't sound safe.

I'm a pretty big guy [6' 6"] but I've never had trouble running out of cord length when fling apart my hands while holding the Wii-mote and nunchuck. As weird as it may sound, I'm interested in the thing because of the size [not put-off by it]. My hands cramp sometimes having to hold the "tiny" stock nunchuck and I wouldn't mind something that would make it larger. I wouldn't be bothered by the added weight either, as I imagine this thing only weighs about as much as an average stapler when loaded with the nunchuck and two AA batteries.

I've caught the cord once or twice on my foot or the coffee table, but that was it. I wouldn't buy a wireless nunchuck. Just something else to get recharge able batteries for.a

Well.. I would consider it after a week of slapping myself in the crotch with the nunchuck cable while playing We Ski. Sometimes when I'm frantically trying to regain some speed or whatnot, the wire does whip around a bit. Just so happens to be right near a very sensitive area LOL

that can't be good to have the wire folded up so tightly in that compartment. it looks like, after a period of time, the wire would get pinched.

The wire has never bothered me; not once in 18 months. I couldn't imagine dropping cash on something like this.

I got these ones some time ago. No drop outs. Still running on its same batteries as the day I got it. Better any any of the other wireless solutions i've seen thus far. Not sure why I havn't seem them reviewed on wiifanboy :|
