There’s no doubt that Nintendo Wii has the most distinctive controller of any console of all time. Known as the Wiimote, it more looks a lot like a TV remote control than a typical games paddle. At first glance it seems like a very easy device with no many buttons, apparently too few to effectively play modern games with. First impressions are very misleading. 
The Wiimote has movement sensors inside it, meaning that merely waving the controller in the air is a means of input in itself. The Wiimote also features force feedback, meaning actions in the game can cause it to growl for a more immersive emotion. It also has its own speaker, permitting for a depth of sound never before heard on any console. Yeah!
Qualified PC gamers will know that the only technique to control certain types of games is using the mouse. Up until now games consoles haven't been capable to contend with their ungainly controllers, most remarkably on first-person shooter (FPS) and real-time strategy (RTS) games. The Wiimote is the only controller for a console which can match and even exceed the effectiveness of a mouse.
The Wii is not all about games though. When powered on the Wii interface will include Wii Channels, a gateway to interactive features and using the Internet. Sound’s great. The Wiimote is a spontaneous position device suited well for this function as well. When needed the Wiimote can be joined with a second device to seize in your other hand. This second device features an analog stick and its own motion sensors that are autonomous from the main Wiimote. This is effect gives the user '2 hands' in the game, allowing for great ways of interaction.

This is the Wiimote linked to the analog stick 'nunchuck'. They're wireless other than the cable that connects them together. Powered by 2 AA batteries, up to 60 hours of usage is feasible. To sustain backwards compatibility with elder consoles the Wii also comes with a classic style game pad. Additional good news is the Wii also has sockets to connect a standard Gamecube controller, which is the easiest controller I've practiced so far.
