That sensor bar is dreadfully annoying!!

I've put up with it since I first got the Wii in 08 December and I've also hated it the whole way through. Heres the problem: Its a tiny, thin sensor bar with a very long (too long) and very thin cord attached to it, thats easy to knock off, easy to fall off, and hard to position it for a perfect wii experince. The thin cord I hate so much, its extremly easy to tangle, it gets in the way and its hard to do much with because its so thin! Im in the middle of playing Golden Eye. Trying to stay alive and then BAM the sensor bar falls down. Im forced to get up, stick it back there, sit down and resume trying to save alive. But then, I realise I've not positioned it correctly so I get up 3 times trying to position it correctly but it s just not working. Eventually I give in, close the game (much to my dismay) and reset my senstivity. Oh, but to get there to do it is a nightmare because hey: The sensor bar is not working! I cant point at the selection, because the hand disappears when I do... Grrrrrr

So, I fix the senstivity and can play again. Unfortunately now I live the rest of my life in fear, waiting for it to happen there. (Like my melodramatic-ness? ;)

But seriously, the thing is bloody annoying and I doubt im the only one who utterly despises it. Well, lets see how many of you hate it too!

I haven't had a problem with it. It sticks perfectly to the top of my television and it's in a position that works perfectly for games.

I havnt had too many problems with it, it does fall over if I swivel the tv but thats all.

You think the cord is too long. Make the cord shorter. Your bar falls off. Fasten it with tape or whatever. I see absolutely no reason for you to hate the sensor bar. Sounds like you're just complaining for the sake of complaining. A monkey could fix the problems you're having.

if the sensor bar annoys u, just use two candles instead!

Not mine. It's stayed on the same spot on my TV since I got it. That thing has yet to annoy me.

my only problem with it used to be that it's very easy to get out of range, which is bad in multiplayer games.

but now the wii is in my bedroom.

The sensor bar is, IMO, one of the best things about the wii. Aiming with the pointer is so super accurate.

I'm playing Skyward Sword now and they've replace the sensor bar with M+ and I wish they hadn't. It just feels alot slower.

Got several friends with a Wii and never seen a problem.

Thread is clearly just trying to start a flame war by someone with too much time and not enough brains on their hands.

The fact that the poll contains the choice "who plays wii anymore" is proof that this is troll bait.

no this guy isnt a troll i think he was trying to get some laughs with that choice...he does own the HD consoles so he isnt like us :P

anyway TC...ever heard of Tape?

The cord just always seems to be getting in they way, people will walk by and trip on it at least once a day.GodofGods1995

yeah its horribly annoying. I just dont understand why anyone would think the a wire that long is needed. And the sticky pads they give you only work for a few weeks. And if the top of your TV isn't flat it pivots around which really screws things up. It should have come with velcro

Meh, it can get in the way...like when your cat jumps up on the TV stand and accidently knocks it overLos9090

[QUOTE="simomate"] Might actually try tape, thanks for the advice. @Theguywhothinksimatroll. You are so very wrong. If I was trying to troll, I'd do it at system wars, home of trolling. I simply find the sensor bar annoying. simomate
