Wiiji is the perfect joystick solution for Wii remotes on Mac.

With Wiiji, your Wii remotes will appear as ordinary joysticks to any application that supports joystick input. It does this through a kernel extention.

If your favorite game doesn't support joysticks, Wiiji can emulate keyboard input, too.

It runs conveniently in your menu bar.

  • Support Wii remote, nunchuck, and classic controller.
  • Use all buttons and analog joysticks.
  • Emulate an HID joystick interface for each connected Wii remote.
  • Emulate keyboard input.
  • Provide the source so you can modify it to your needs.
  • Support Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.4, Universal Binary!
  • Support IR input.
  • Support Wii remote/nunchuck rotation/translation sensors.
  • Emulate mouse input.
  • Calibrate the joysticks. (But your game probably does.)

Note to 10.4 users:

The Wii remote search doesn't work well in 10.4.
It helps if you go to System Preferences > Bluetooth > Devices, and delete the Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 items.
Wiiji is compatible with Osculator's 'perfect-pairing.' If you have that installed, it will help. Wiiji will have it's own method of perfect-pairing soon!

  • Unlimited number of connected Wii remotes.
  • Japanese localization and web page.
  • Support IR input, and rotation/translation motion sensing.
  • System mouse emulation.
  • Analog joysticks to support keyboard controls (with user-definable precision) and mouse.
  • User can choose which wiimote elements redirect to which HID elements, and other advanced settings.
  • Classic Controller analog buttons into joystick rudder/throttle elements.
  • New preferences window with toolbar category buttons.
  • Mac style help guide.
  • Creation of additional virtual HID keyboards and mouses for each Wii remote (Kernel driver)
  • Bluetooth mice temporarily get choppy after connect sometimes. (Framework)
  • Auto Joystick centering and max-min calibration. (Framework)
  • Wii remotes sometimes take several tries to connect, especially in 10.4/PPC. (Framework)
    Note: See above help for 10.4 users under How To Use.
  • Support for the balance board. (Framework)
  • Add special mouse handling code for a 'paint brush' mode to be used in Photoshop. Think of other modes such as desktop, presentation, security, etc. Fork that into new project if useful. Beat Nintendo to WiiPaint.

Wiiji is developed by Taylor Veltrop (taylor@veltrop.com) on a MacOS 10.5 Leopard MacBook, and a 10.4 Tiger Powerbook Pismo with G4 upgrade card and 3rd party Bluetooth.
It was tested with MAME OSX and Nestopia.
Special thanks to the Darwiin Remote team for putting the WiiRemote.Framework together.

Posted on August 13, 2010, Shawn Sines How to use your Nintendo Wii Remote as a PC Mouse

Ever wonder how to use your Wii remote as a PC mouse? It’s always nice when you can repurpose hardware to do something different and possibly useful. Making that Nintendo Wii remote you have sitting around work as a ranged mouse sounds like a great gimmick, right? Well, thanks to some enterprising aficionado’s out there, you can use your Wii Remote with your PC or Mac. We’ll show you how.

Difficulty: Basic
Tools:

  • Wii remote
  • PC with Bluetooth or a Bluetooth dongle
  • Wii Sensor Bar

Time to Install: 15-30 minutes

Table of Contents

Official Disclaimer:
The software to use your Wii remote as a PC mouse is all homebrew software. The Wii Remote is not natively supported as an interface device for a PC. There may be the inconsistent response from some programs when using it as a pointing device. However, it’s still cool.

Step 1: Preparations
Before you can use your Wii Remote as a PC mouse, you will need to know a few things:

Wii Remote In Store

  • Does your PC have Bluetooth built-in? The Wii Remote communicates using Bluetooth. No Blutetooth, no workie!
  • Do you have a Wii sensor bar or suitable substitute available? – The retail wireless battery-powered sensor bars are perfect for use in this setup but you can also use 2 candles (beware of fire hazard)

Step 2: Activate/Install Bluetooth
If you do not already have a Bluetooth Dongle you can buy them at most office supply and big box computer retail stores. Once you have one simply follow the instructions in the package to install the driver and activate the Bluetooth features of your PC.

If your PC has Bluetooth built in, you should make sure it is properly enabled under your operating system. Windows 7 Users can follow this procedure to verify and activate Bluetooth:

Download Wii Remote On Android

  1. Left-Click Start.
  2. Right-click My Network Places.
  3. Left-Click Properties.
  4. Right-Click on the line that represents your Bluetooth adapter.
  5. If the device is not already enabled, Left-Click and choose Enable

Step 3: Download Wii Remote Driver
Next, you should download the software driver to enable you to use your Wii remote as a PC mouse:

Wii Remote Cheap

  • Windows – GlovePIE also has support for Sixaxis and Xbox 360 controllers.
  • Mac OSX — The Mac software also supports use of the Nunchuck and Wii Classic Controller!

Once you have the proper driver, run the installation.

Step 4: Synchronize Wii Remote with PC
The activation and synchronization of your Wii Remote (and Classic Controller in some cases) is fairly straightforward. You add the Wii Remote like you add any other Bluetooth enabled device in your operating system.

Download Wii Remote On Mac Windows 10

For Windows 7/ GlovePIE users you can follow this process:

  1. Click the Start button.
  2. click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Bluetooth Devices.
  3. Click Add
  4. Press 1 and 2 on your Wii Remote when it says “Searching Devices” to connect the device.

Closing
Now that you’ve got the device added to the system, all you should need to do is turn on the sensor bar (or your Nintendo Wii). Place it on top of or below your monitor (just like you do your TV when playing Wii). Provided everything is running properly you should now see the mouse respond to your Wii remote movements. Congratulations!
