This article is about connecting your Wii Remote to a PC. It describes various tools and programs to get you started.
Once connected you can use it for various purposes like gaming, controlling slide in a presentation or just zapping through your audio/video playlist.

You will need:

- A Wii remote
- a Wii compatible bluetooth device
- some software
- and optionally a Nunchuck

First check if your bluetooth device is compatible with the Wii Remote or buy one that is. You can find a list at WiiLi.org. I used a Sitecom Bluetooth adapter which came with the TOSHIBA bluetooth stack on CD. The Microsoft Bluetooth Stack will not work, so you have to installl another one. I was lucky, I could use the CD that came with the Bluetooth adapter. If yours does not come with a usable stack try another BT stack.

I tried to connect my Wii Remote to a HP nc8000 laptop without success. I was using the standard drivers from HP. Unfortunatly I do not own the laptop, so I could not try different drivers.
If you are using windows go to the next chapter. Linux users can go to chapter 3.
