Video Game Reviews of Wii Kama Wireless Controller
Customer Review: Great Wireless Controller
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these for my wife. She uses them when she plays the new Julian Michaels (from the Biggest Loser) game. She wanted them after beating herself up with the wired version. She says that they work great.Customer Review: Good accessory to the Wii
Summary: 4 Stars
This controller is a great accessory to the wii console. Its great not having to worry about the short cord between the wiimote and nun chuck hindering game play. Only negative is that during certain games, such as smash brothers, it is slightly harder to time some of the moves. I'd recommend this controller, just know that adding additional wireless devices increases the delay slightly.Customer Review: Kama For Wii Boxing
Summary: 1 Stars
The sensor for the Kama falls out of the Wiimote allot when I play Wii boxing. The sensor not fit into the Wiimote when the Wiimote jacket is on the Wiimote.Customer Review: Read if you are having connection issues
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a hard time setting this up at the beginning. The instruction manual never mentions to press the LED on both nunchuck and wiimote as the quick setup guide does, and I have noticed there have been several people frustrated over this issue. If you have connection problems try pressing the blinking blue lights at the same time.
Additionally I just wanted to add that if any of you intend to use this while the wiimote is attached to the pc, for some reason I could not have it work (but then again not its intended purpose... fortunately I still have my regular nunchuck for that).
Finally just wanted to add device has worked fine with Metroid which is the game I tested it on, noticed no lag like previous posters said, but then again this could be because batteries are currently new; if I notice anything odd here I will be sure to edit this post. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
Customer Review: After reading some of the reviews, I was hesitant, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have enjoyed the Wii since launch. Especially nice for me is the Wii Remote / Nunchuk combination controls, as it let me use a controller like most other people. I have limited use of the left hand, so I could never use a typical PS2 / XBox / GameCube controller the way designers intended it to be used.
With the Wii, I can hold the Nunchuk with the left hand while having it positioned where I have access to the control stick and buttons for my right hand to use. The only problem I've encountered with using the Nunchuk has been the cord, as it can get wrapped around my left hand, or it can whack me in the face now and then. Because of the wrapping around my hand and not realizing it has done so, I have damaged some Nunchuks.
After seeing different Wireless Nunchuk units appear on the market, I got disappointed by them because they were too bulky for me. Finally the Kama came out and I began to be intrigued by it. It seemed to be the answer I was looking for - it was the same size as the normal Nunchuk. I held off for a while because I had problems justifying the cost of the unit. After damaging another wired Nunchuk, I began rethinking by stance on the cost issue.
I then began looking at the reviews on the Kama and saw there were several bad reviews on it, so I was not sure what to do. After getting fed up with the normal Nunchuk I decided to purchase the Kama and give it a shot.
So far it hasn't given me any usage problems, and I have haven't noticed lag issues in the response of the Kama. I plan on using rechargeable batteries with the Kama, as I realize batteries could get expensive if I had to replace them every few days.
Installing the receiver onto the Wii Remote was easy, since it just plugs in like a normal attachment. Synchronizing the receiver and the Kama Nunchuk was quick and I didn't have any problems. Instructions were included that mentioned how to do the synchronizing process, but I did not need to refer to them, as I have several wireless products and am familiar with the process.
As others have stated, the Wii Jackets fit over the receiver with difficulty, although it does stretch it slightly, but not enough to hinder pressing any of the buttons on the Wii Remote. Other sleeves may or may not accommodate the receiver as well.
It has made my life much better while using the Wii. I don't have to be concerned with ruining Nunchuks because of cords getting in my way. This also lets me stay focused on the game and I don't have to keep pausing the game to untangle the cord. I can't see myself wanting to go back to the corded Nunchuk.
