A keyboard certainly would make life on the Wii internet easier.

Was looking around on Amazon until I ran across the Wii Charging Station for $10 off, you wii owners might want to pick this up to save some batteries.

yes but the matching stickers for your wiimote and nunchuk from decalgirl only cover the front. but do they cover the whole console though? and which cover do you prefer?

I saw that too, that the latest upgrade to the console included USB support for a keyboard.

So no longer is it necessary to practice eye/hand coordination skills trying to type in a web address - a long web address.

Though I haven't tried it with my Microsoft 6000 wireless account,I wouldn't see why it won't work.

I bought the Mad Catz battery charger. A real waste for $20. Takes forever to charge and you only get about 6 hours charge out of it. Sold it.

I'll look into a dual charger setup when I have 2 remotes. For now I got a Nyko rubber-grip battery cover 2-pack at Radio Shack for $6.

I'll get the classic controller grip thingy when I get a classic controller. I can buy it locally for about $7.

Logitech has now released a usb mic for the Wii. I don't know how much of an improvement it will be over the one already contained in Boogie but if you want to check it out here's the url: Logitech Mic

Since the post on the battery packs was made, has anyone tried them out? I am looking to buy something for my husband and want to know which is best. I'd love to hear the good and the bad.

I bought this Afterglow piece with my Wii. It is a great piece.

To answer your question, it has a fan on the bottom that is directly in line with the bottom vent and helps double-cool the unit.

plus the neon is super bright and it is quiet...

I recommend it...especially for $14.99

I can reccomned the Nikko Dual charging station that comes with the 480p hi def cable. It works great and the backgrips are really nice.

Final Verdict...

Ok, So is it GOOD or BAD to have a vertical Wii stand that has a fan built into the bottom... Now, this fan would be over the air VENT (not the fan in the rear) - so is it better for the fan to blow IN to the vent - or to suck air OUT of the vent?

I like to leave the Wii on standby as a result of Wii 24 or whatever it's called...

They sell them here for $5 - with blue LED's - so it's a cheap addition...

Thanks,

Matt!

Hey guys,

Im new here and just bought a Wii with Sports, Transformers, Mario party 8, Brain academy and Mario galaxy (on preorder). I am new to the Wii and don't know much about how far accessories have come since its launch.

I am looking for a charging solution, would something like this be decent? Im not sure about the quality as its from ebay and HK

Specs:
Save money and protect the environment by using the rechargeable battery.
Get Power Directly From Wii AC Adapter .
Faster Charging than USB One.
8 in 1 multi Function:
* 2 Wii Remote stand and Charger Stand for 2800 mAh Rechargable Battery (2800 mah Battery Pack included).
* 2 Nunchuk Stand.
* Cooling Fan.
* Wii Console Stand.
* Battery Charger for 2 x AA rechargeable batteries (AA rechargeable batteries not included).
* Blue LED Light.
