Interesting.  I'll try that.  Now I don't have to learn how to hack into the wiimote sensor bar and learn how to write a program to get the thing to work. :)

If you dont own a wii you might have to create your own sensor bar, in this case i used two candles and it worked fine :P

I know that 2 TV remotes can be used if the tips of the remotes are pointed away from the TV/monitor, and the buttons are held down by something. They must also be parallel to each other.
Trackballs: Kensington Orbit with Scroll Ring and Logitech Marble
Keyboards: Who cares?
