i knew from the moment i plugged it in a while back that my wrist would be pressing on it in a funny way.

now my fears are confirmed as it affects how my game plays. the controls reverse or dont work at all until i pulled out the motionplus and saw the connector was all wiggly.

is it supposed to be wiggly please let me know because i only have one and cant compare it to another.

thanks

Have you locked the M+ into the bottom of the controller? Some instructions should have come with the M+. Otherwise, it could be messing up because you haven't the set the right hand (maybe you're left handed) or because you haven't synchronised it.

If you play it with the Wii Remote jacket on, it shouldn't be a problem. Yes I know, it looks kinda dorky...but really, it helps. I don't notice any problems with MotionPlus with the jacket on.

Plus, if you get the black Wii Remote + MotionPlus Combo, you'll be happy. That controller is the sleekest piece of tech I've seen in a long time. I want to lick it. (Plus it's $10 cheaper than buying a Wii Remote and MotionPlus separately.)

you must be holding your wiimote in a very odd manner. the end of the wiimote (with or without wm+) comes nowhere near my wrist. I would have to bend my hand in a very extreme manner to have it come close, and being over 6' tall I do have long hands.

maybe being left handed has something to do with it, maybe its just comfortable that way, hell, maybe i have large hands who knows, but regardless of the way i hold my wm, i dont think that should be an issue as im sure im not the only one who holds it "odd" ly, or abnormally.

but thanks for your questioning and letting me know i hold it abnormally ill be sure to change it

:P sorry, I'm just trying to understand. I get about 1" clearance between the wm+ and my wrist. while playing nhl 2k10 the wiimote tends to point downwards (like a hockey stick) and I still don't have any issues. the wiimote sits just under the ball of my hand. for the wm+ to hit my wrist I need to point the wiimote straight out with the wiimote running nearly parallel with my forearm. the way I hold it the wiimote is at an angle and when I swing the wiimote with my wrist the end stays under my hand/wrist The end is loose intentionally to avoid damaging the connector while removing and attaching wm+. do you know how to calibrate wm+? if the pointer goes the opposite way after calibrating it should orientate itself simply my moving the curser around a bit.
