Talismoon, the same company behind the swappable Wii slot gates and ninja-themed replacement shells, tinkered with Nintendo's sensor bar design to make it more compact for travel. The resulting $24.95 Sensor Wiire requires even less space than the already-low-profile standard bar and, thanks to its retractability, packs up without leaving a frustrating tangle of thin wires.As an added bonus, you could probably use it as a pocket-sized garrotte if you don't have any other assassination tools handy. Protect ya neck and jump past the post break for more photos of Talismoon's Sensor Wiire setup.

That's a great idea for a less noticeable sensor bar.

I've read that the wireless sensor bar has a little bit better accuracy than the standard one, how does this compare?

Looks nice for using with a projector, where you need a wider sensor bar. On the linked page they say a length of 2 feet, but it is not clear if that refers to the wire to the wii, or between the two pieces.
I'm getting my projector in a few days, and was thinking to put two sensor bars together and then taping over the middle diodes, So hope this could be a better solution.

@2 and Eric, I'd love to see a nice review of different sensor bars focusing on accuracy.. Thats been my one qualm with fast-paced Wii games is that the accuracy of aiming and wiimote controls isn't spot-on.

Awesome, just wish I didn't have to pay $25 for it.
Lol. in the bottom picture they look like two tiny black Wiis on their sides.

That's a good point actually; the wire for the stock sensor bar is ricockulously long. Mine is currently wrapped up and hidden from the cats behind the bookshelf.

@ Brett
The sensor bar doesn't really have anything to do with accuracy. All it really is is a bunch of infrared diodes and the Wii remote itself is what does the actual sensing. The only purpose for the cord is for power.
