What a waste of time.
It looks like a freaking prototype.
I always thought the point of this sort of thing was to make it work or look better.
Big FAIL on both counts.
I like the way it looks.
Why does Engadget bother covering this crap? Does anyone give a toss?
I can see this being a better wiimote for young kids with small hands, but that just makes it an easier to launch projectile at your TV screen, head, or small animal.
Dhreck = Trainwreck
Yes, I do think that was what he was smoking when he made this wiimote.
A worthy mod with that kind of molding skill would have been to add more natural hand grip to it. This just looks like a Chinese KIRF. That nun chuck looks like a puffer fish.
This thing doesnt even seem "wiimotely" ergonomic.....
I c wut u did thar.
Photography 101: don't use a white background for photographing things that are white.
that's spiff advice.
Nice!
Haha! It reminds me of the mini-phone, only a lot uglier.
As if the actual wiimote wasn't absurdly small...
Sometimes people should use their skills/craft for a better cause. So much gray matter and time wasted. Attempts at being innovative wasted on "eye candy"(if one even considers this that...)
Someone has too much free time...
He just shaved it. Do I get a story on en next time I shave something.....unusual?
Looks like a WiiMote that's been working over time on the wii fit
I don't think anyone here can learn to respect a mod until they've done one themselves.
And the prophet said that no one shall mod without first learning to respect the mod. We have found a modern-day koan here.
Tell me, grasshopper, what is the sound of a no-armed man giving me the finger?
It's anorexic.
Yea, what is this, a pro-ana site? I can see its ribs and stuff
At least it's a step up from that pointless hemp version he did.
Interesting, but he lost me once I saw that he replaced the trigger-style B button with a small, round button. Seems like that would be much to easy to just miss.
Yes sir, the trigger button turned regular button is astonishing fail.
Finally, because the Wiimote wans't small enough already!
That's would make it a weemote then ...
Looks like a horrible real-life photoshop
I could see this being useful for storage, if wiimotes were like this I could probably fit three instead of two into my carrying case, but if you have the obvious skill, why not do something more interesting? Like a giant 4ft wiimote instead? Or maybe a really cool console mod.
Stupid. The Wiimote is already a very comfortable size. This might be appropriate for children to people with (very) small hands, but there is nothing wrong with the size of the Wiimote itself.
I don't mind doing something "just because you can", but this was futility in action.
looks like a rose. gift for girlfriend he has one.
All that work for.. a slightly smaller Wiimote? Ok.
this is what happens when you smoke your hemp wiimote
It's time to set up a rescue home for abused wiimotes.
DRECK pretty much covers this one, doesn't it?
