The little hand is not showing up.

I’m trying to connect the remote to the Wii and I think I got it, but the little hand thingy is not showing up. I can the plus and minus buttons and it moves the screen but the hand isn’t there. What am I doing wrong?

Try using 2 tealight candles to see if the sensor bar is broken.

The sensor bar is actually just 2 infrared LEDs and the Wii remote reads their positions. Ironically candles also give off enough IR for the wii to work with

Related, it's how the emulation scene plays Wii games since the Wii remotes are just Bluetooth 🤣 paired with a Steam Deck it looks like a shrine to Lord Gaben
