After seeing some other 3rd party attachments for the Wiimote, I was skeptical about the construction of the Wii Wheel. Its actually pretty dense and well constructed. The Wiimote nestles inside snugly and is easy to remove. The B-button works well and I cannot imagine using a Wiimote on its own for steering in Mario Kart without it.

That said, I still find the Wii Wheel awkward to use. I am a woman and my hands aren't particularly large, but they aren't small, either, and I find I have to grip the wheel awkwardly in order to comfortably press the buttons on the Wiimote. Again, the Wii Wheel does make this easier than without, but its still not perfect. Unfortunately, I think the only way this would be solved is if they simply made a much larger controller with more ergonomically placed buttons and perhaps a 3rd party has already done so. Kids, I am sure, will have no troubles at all and I can see this accessory being very popular with the younger crowd.

As far as Mario Kart goes, I will be sticking to the Nunchuck configuration but it is nice to have some other options.
