 Great concept, poorly executed June 28, 2008

I really wanted to like the Kama. I primarily bought it to play the boxing minigame in Wii Fit. The first time I tried it with Wii Fit it was slow and sluggish. The hits seemed to be a fraction of a second behind half the time. Often time the delay was the difference between a perfect hit and a hit, sometimes it was so bad the hit didn't register. I love the concept of a true wireless nunchuck adapter, and the feel and weight of this product felt great to me. But, I can't give anything more than 1 star to a product which simply fails to perform it only function no matter how good it looks or feels. I can't recommend this product at $15 let alone at $35. Wait for the next version or an official product from Nintendo.
 Excellent device for boxing games May 20, 2008

Let me say from the start that the only reason I purchased this was to play the boxing games, like Wii sports boxing. Those who are avid players of these games are aware of how frustrating it can become when you're really into the game and find yourself limited in your motion by the two remotes being tethered so close together. I have not found this to be a problem with any other games that I've played so far, only with the boxing games. For this purpose I have found this device to be great! I love being able to make several right crosses or uppercuts without worrying about the nunchuck or the remote being pulled to the point of breaking one or the other. I have found this wireless nunchuck to be very responsive, well, at least AS responsive as the tethered nunchuck. Overall, this has definitely added to my enjoyment of the boxing games and I recommend it fully. Five stars for performance, four for battery life.
 Twice The Wireless, But Not Sturdy Enough May 16, 2008

Since the Nintendo Wii came out many gamers have anxiiously been awaiting new ways of playing their favorite games, without the cord from the original Wii Nunchuck. For Nyko, the third-party company they did try to come up with that solution with their wireless Kama Nunchuck add-on. While the concept is clever, sadly the battery dies down very easily after only a few uses. On top of that, it doesn't respond as well to top notch games like Super Mario Galaxy and Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. At around $35, it just doesn't seem to work as well out well for anyone who has the Nintendo Wii nunchuck add-on. I really suggest you stay with the one that came with the Wii, and just hope that Nintendo can make a wireless Nunchuck that works better.

I was skeptical to get this when I saw the price tag and the amazon reviews it's received - but then I found very positive reviews for it on youtube, CNET, and IGN, and decided to make a purchase. I made the right choice. The controller is very sturdy, responds the same (motions, buttons, stick) as the original nunchuck, minus a few completely insignificant differences (i.e., the C and Z buttons are now transparent, and the C button is now slightly larger than it was before. Both improvements, in my mind) is attractive, and even includes a wrist strap! In fact, I would even say it performs slightly better than the original nunchuck. It should be noted, however, that you need to power on & off the nunchuck, and when you first set it up you need to press the sync button on the kama and the dongle that attaches to the wii remote (these 2 things are done via two buttons on the face of the kama, power and sync, and the sync button on the dongle, all of which don't get in the way at all). This is easy to do, and isn't a problem. Again, I don't see why this controller has received such poor reviews; it's a great little device. I don't ever want to go back to the wired nunchuck!
[edit] - I forgot to mention: you can still use the wii remote jacket with the dongle plugged in!
Does Not Work May 27, 2008

I have tested it with zelda, mario, and wii sports. The connection is sluggish and slow. There seems to be about less than a 1/2 second of lag time. Not worth the extra $15 to go wireless. The problem is not as noticeable with wii sports, most likely because the movements are not as precise.
