wii remote, turning it off

I just had a question,

its there a way you can turn off the wii remote by pressig a button, not the console, just the remote ?

i might just be dumb,but is there a way ?

Why would you want too? I know if you leave it for a while it loses connection and goes into a standby mode.

well if you're lucky, sometimes u can tap the power button on the remote and it'll turn off, it's happened a couple times. You can just hold the power button and both the system and the remote will turn off (obviously). If you want to switch controls, hit the home menu, go to wii remote settings and reconnect it. But if you're changing the batteries or trying to fix something, open the battery cover and you'll find a little red button next to the batteries. If you press that, it will turn the remote off.

I hope this has helped anyone, later!;)

I thought the little red buttons were for syncing the Wiimotes ?

Point the wiimote away from the console and bury the infrared end of it into a pillow or something to keep the signal from bouncing of the wall and then hold the power button down for about three seconds until the blue lights go off.briguyb13

 that wont work, it communicates with the console via bluetooth. pillows cant stop the bluetooth, yo!

It shuts off on it's own, just leave it alone

There's no standby mode and the little red button is to sync the Wiimote not to shut it off 

so guess there really is no way, unless you take out the batteries

just leaving it on till it turns off it is

Press the "home" button on the Wiimote and go into the "Wii controller settings" menu at the bottom of the screen, then press "reconnect" and both Wiimotes will be turned off, then you just need to press the 1&2 buttons together to turn the Wiimote you want to use back on. I can't believe so few people know about this.

Whew, good to know I'm not the only one who was going to suggest that.
