WiiRemote as a Mouse on Mac

Control your mac with Wii Remote as a mouse. Try It!! All it requires is a Bluetooth supported Mac, a Nintendo Wii Remote (use this if you don’t have a Wii), and a small free application called DarwiinRemote. You can also configure the remote to control pretty much anything.

To get started:
1. turn your Wii on with the Wii Remote (to power up the sensor bar)
2. start DarwiinRemote
3. Open the Wii Remote's battery compartment and hit the sync button, DarwiinRemote should report "Wii Remote Found".
4. Turn on the IR sensor (click the button)
5. Turn on Mouse Mode
6. Point the Wii Remote at the TV, as if your were controlling the pointer on your Wii
7. If the mouse doesn't start moving around, try turning the IR sensor off and back on (click the button twice).
