User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Excellent controller with a different feel than the Nunchuk
The first time you hold the Kama in your hand, you’ll notice an immediate difference from the official Nunchuk controller; it’s not better, it’s not worse, it’s just a little different. The Z and C buttons are more comfortable to press, with the Z button having a groove to rest your finger in, and the C button being much bigger than on Nintendo’s controller. The opening in which the control stick sits is perfectly circular instead of octagonal like on the Nunchuk, which is better for some games (NiGHTS) and slightly worse for others (Mario Galaxy). The control stick itself has a little less tension than Nintendo’s, so it’s easier to move overall, but very small movements are more difficult to pull off; the top of the stick is textured in such a way that your thumb slips less than on the Nunchuk which makes up for any loss of precision from the increased looseness. Performance is equivalent to the wired Nunchuk, with no noticeable lag.
The one glaring flaw with the Kama is that there’s no battery life indicator, so when the battery gets low, the Kama will unsync from the adapter in your Wii Remote and your movements will simply stop registering. If you’re in the middle of a boss fight, your character will stop responding and you’ll likely take a bit of damage before you figure out what’s wrong. In addition to the batteries in the Kama (2 AAA batteries which lasted about a month of medium use for me), you also have to watch out the batteries in the Wii Remote. The Wii Remote has to power the adapter that communicates with the Kama, and the adapter stops responding before the Wii Remote does; this means you’ll lose the Kama before the onscreen warning about the batteries in the Wii Remote comes up.
Overall, the Kama feels slightly more awkward to grip in my hand than the Nunchuk, but the superior buttons and grip on the control stick, along with the freedom to extend my arms unencumbered by a wire make me prefer it just slightly over the official controller. If not for the lack of any sort of battery life indicator, I would give it five stars. As long as you keep a fresh pair of batteries in your Wii Remote and the Kama, the Kama is a suitable and in some ways superior substitute for the official Nunchuk controller.
4 Stars I like it!
This is very nice and I like it much more than the ones with wires.:) However, it doesn’t work as wellin some certain moves and directions — you barely notice it though.:)
5 Stars great alternative to regular wii Nunchuck
This works great. Just imagine using the regular wii nunchuck without a cord. I never had any lapse in gameplay. You just need to connect the extra piece with this to the wiimote, put batteries in this thing and press the buttons on both to stop the blinking blue light and the light becomes solid. The only negative thing is you need 2 triple A batteries to operate this and those arent the same ones that are used for the wiimote. But it does come with 2 batteries to get you started and the batteries last a long time. But overall this is a great alternative to the regular nunchuck.
4 Stars No more wires!
I could not get the nunchuck to sync with the dongle by following the included instructions. So, I send Nyko an email but did not get an answer. I then called their toll free number and was given the correct instructions right away! I was totally surprised that I was actually speaking to an American and not some guy from India! Great help line! I play Top Spin 3 and no more getting tangled up when I hit a backhand!
I would recommend that you download the correct instructions from Nyko’s website if you can’t get it to work the first time!
4 Stars Great Wireless Controller
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.
